Zach is number one. I love this place. Zach is the best bartender. Im so happy he is back. He brings the vibes up in this place. Haven't had any food here but the drinks are great ! read more

They charged me $18 for a redbull vodka that is $10 at ANY other bar even down town Portland. Do not go here. Bartenders look like they're on heroine read more

This is a small neighborhood type bar located in Downtown Lake Oswego. Friends wanted to hang out for a bit on a Sunday afternoon. The place has a pool table and some video lottery machines. They have a simple bar food menu. The bartender, Jordan, was super friendly and accommodating to our asks. It made hanging out at the place a positive experience. I believe my friends and I will be back to visit. read more

Great atmosphere and the jell-o shots were amazing!! The bartender, Ira, was welcoming and kind!!!

I love the staff here! It's a wonderful break from all the rest of the city. A little dive bar but wonderful vibes. Drinks are stiff enough for me and I'm a lush, so yay. Always a good time and pretty good prices. read more

We've always enjoyed the FH pub as a friendly Dow town LO pub. Three stars for the price gouging though. $17 for Casamigos Reposado shot! $12 for Hornitos! That's El Gaucho prices. Good for a beer but beware of the alcohol prices. read more

If you are looking for a solid drink and good people in Lake Oswego, you need to go to this place. It's a dive bar-- nothing fancy. But the people you meet here are simply the best. Many neighborhood regulars greet you with a smile and, after you know them, a hug. There are lots of laughs to be had and you can enjoy video poker or a game of pool. The staff here make sure its homey. After one visit, most of them will remember your name and your favorite beverage. They know their business and after one visit will treat you like an old friend. You can have lots of laughs at this place. I heartily recommend it as a chill place in a town that can sometimes be a little cold and hoity-toity. read more

Firehouse Pub - a glass of jameson black bear - Pubs Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

We were casually enjoying a beer and chips/salsa outside when a bartender (white male, guage earrings) walked up to our table and aggressively flipped our drink, accused our friend of threatening and disrespecting women, with zero grounds to make this accusation. Our friend was sitting quietly at a table and hadn't spoken to any women outside of the people at our table. The situation escalated further after a patron of the bar and friend of bartender started filming us as we're leaving the bar, then said "we don't allow [N word] into this town" to our friend and the only non-white person in the bar. Safe to say we are shocked and appalled by the extreme display of racism and cruelty and will never be returning. read more

Jordan is amazing! He is a fantastic bartender in the area and I didn't realize he started here! I was delighted to see him! He is a gem in Portland! Hold onto this one! read more

So, this guy told a female bartender he would rape her because he couldn't get another drink at Gemini. Then was asked to leave Firehouse. Take your sandals and man bun and fuck off read more

Firehouse Pub - Pubs Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

Bartender was kind of rude- place was cold had to ask and urge her to close the door, and she argued it was warm at 55 outside- she took her sweatshirt off instead- Never offered menus- and overcharged for a BFK I didn't order. Place was clean- just a lot left unsaid. Skip it. read more

reliable dive pub in Lake Oswego. I had some friends recently move to the neighborhood and this is one of the favorite stops. I've just enjoyed beers, the company, the service, and the juke. Last visit we stopped through on a Tuesday night. Ira was the bartender and he was pretty friendly, nice, called us by our first names after just one introduction. Highlight was spotting a Celebrity. I saw Bob Guiney, a Bachelor contestant on the first Bachelorette and subsequently went on to be the Bachelor (Season 4). He was visiting Portland. I was so proud I spotted him and had the nerve later to Say Hello. He was genial and was accompanied by a few buddies. A cozy time, no frills, and down to earth. Authentic Firehouse Decor. read more

Formally the "pump house" this place stinks of fried fish, but you can get drunk on a dime. If you can avoid cougar attacks, salmonella, and the stench of fried food, you're sure to not remember your night at the firehouse. P.S. if you went to school in the area, chances are you'll run into one of your old teachers, so keep a few extra dollars on hand just so you can buy them a drink and tip them over the edge. Good, friendly service though. read more

I have a thing for firemen, so this visit was a no brainer. Located in the heart of Lake O, across the street from the decidedly upscale Lake View Village, this was a surprisingly homey and smoke-free pub. Opened in August by a former fireman and friends, it is filled with helmets, pumps and other firehouse memorabilia. One of the owners, Char, waited on me at the bar and she was very welcoming. The menu has a couple of 'healthy options', but it is really a burger, wings, dogs and beer kind of joint. The burger was good and I recommend their house made chips as a side, served with dipping sauce. Even though the pub is new, the space is well worn. I wasn't thrilled with the wobbly seats at the bar. It could get interesting when you're tipsy. It also feels geared toward an older crowd, rather than those in their 20s and early 30s. There's a pool table and happy hour is from 3 - 6p (Monday thru Friday) when they knock a couple dollars off a few of their food and drink prices. A good alternative if you don't feel like going to one of the many high end places in town. read more

What happened to our late night, last drink pub? We come back from the Pandemic to some discriminating, rude bartenders who choose who'd they'd like to serve. If you are looking for a bartender(s) who pick and choose who they want to serve while you contemplate why you are even there, why they snicker and ignore you, this is your place. For those who chose to move on, there's a great Irish Pub with amazing service and drinks open late right up the street! #servicematters read more

This is definitely the best watering hole in downtown Lake Oswego. I have lived in the neighborhood for about 3 years now and Firehouse is my go to. The bartenders Rick and June are some of the nicest people. The owner had her birthday party here and she was an absolute blast. They pour their drinks well and if you're indecisive they throw out options that are amazing always. The crowd is usually very local so it is a great way to meet the neighbors! It's just across from the main eating and shopping area so it is always fun to stop in here after a nice walk around downtown. Tie the dogs up outside, everyone loves it. I'll keep coming here, absolutely. read more

Came in with my friends and I have friends who had been here plenty of times - moral of the story we walk in and the bartender stops serving people at the bar, runs to the front door to card us... He complains that he could of only look at one at a time, then let's us in. When we settle down with some of the fellow bar goers the bartender catches an attitude and refuses to serve one of my friends. This was completely unprofessional not only to us but the people who were already there. Do not come here unless you want the cold shoulder from the bartender. We make good money and spend good money and if someone does not want our business that is their loss. read more

Good neighborhood bar! Good for drinks and snacking. Great place to start or end an evening out on the town! read more

easy five stars. solid spot and Ira keeps a super clean bar. will return.

Worst service from this bar. Called 4 times to only leave a message for the manager. Kept on being told when the manager comes in and never got a call back. They charged my card when I payed cash. I even have proof of my receipt and my cash withdrawal before going to that bar. I'd really like my refund back but at this point I don't think I'll be getting it. Sucks because this is the only bar I liked in Lake O. read more

The kindest most attentive people! Cassie and Paige are so nice! Best drinks in town! Thank you so much for a fun time! I needed a ride home one night when my car wouldn't start and they went above and beyond to make sure I got home safe, thank you so much Firehouse read more

All you could possibly ask for from a local dive. Look no further for your cheap drinks, great service, and down home rock bar vibe than the Firehouse. Excellent in all facets! read more

This place was interesting! A GREAT dive bar atmosphere, but the food was heated up in an airfryer and the loud conservative talk radio blaring in the backround where a bit of a turn off. Service was very good! read more

Firehouse Pub rocks! Paige is sunshine, rainbows, butterflies and unicorns all rolled up in one person! feel like I'm walking into 2022 version of Cheers - consistent and great staff - dig this place - read more

The menu items listed on Yelp reviews they no longer serve which is why we went. I don't even think they have much of a Happy Hour now. You get a hamburger made on a George Foreman grill??? Awful. Why would I eat that with SO much great food in Lake O??? This is just a BAR-BAR, go only to drink and play pool. Really sorry I ever went upon a friend's recommendation. read more

Cozy little pub to start my evening downtown, cool atmosphere. Just stopped in for a couple of drinks before heading out to dinner. Next time I'll order some grub, what I saw looked pretty tasty. read more

Super cute pub in the heart of downtown Lake Oswego. It's not your typical dive bar but very clean and has a nice "Cheers" vibe to it. I visited in the afternoon so I'm not sure what it's like in the evening. However, the staff was super nice, interesting bar patrons, and the food was good. I will definitely be back. read more

Friendly attentive staff and great atmosphere. Hot food made in front of you in a clean kitchen. Bartenders welcome incoming patrons by name. Lovely little spot. If this was closer to my house then I would make this my home bar. read more

Firehouse Pub - Chicken Strips and Fries. - Pubs Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

Wow! The interior of this pub was great! I love how it was truly firehouse theme and the decorations were fun to look at, I mean it was fun looking around the bar because they have plenty of decorations. The bartender, the guy, is adorable and very friendly. He dance, sing and very entertaining. The drinks are good and the price are ok. I ordered White Russian and the bartender made it really good. Overall, we had a great time there and will definitely come back with more friends. read more

The Hubby and I wandered in here last night after another long day of moving in to the neighborhood, and were very pleasantly surprised. I had been to this place a few times in the past when it was Archie's, and I strongly considered giving it a 4th star, simply because it is no longer Archie's. There was one fairly good sized group of guys, having a good time, and several other small groups of people hanging out at the bar when we arrived. All the patrons in there must be friends of the owner/staff, because it felt like I was in someones very relaxed comfortable home, rather than a bar. Very prompt and genuinely friendly service. Our waitress was in a good mood, hell, all the staff seemed to be in a "Hey Y'all" kind of mood. Wings - Perfect amount of sauce Burgers - Fresh thick cut veggies on the bun Pub Chips - TO DIE FOR PBR - YUM All was VERY good, considering it was all cooked with a FRY-DADDY and a commercial sized George Foreman Grill. This may have just become my fav bar in LO. I really wanted to give it a 4 star based on my experience last night, but to be fair, I will go again when I am not starving and exhausted. If it is still this good, they get 4 stars. Oh, ok the only thing that they could drastically improve on is the names of their menu items. I get that it's a "Firehouse" theme, but lets come up with a few more creative and obscure names for some stuff. read more

here is a great spot in Lake Oswego to have a good drink and be able to see whatever sports event is happening. Great bartender and lots of good service. It was super friendly and the staff were attentive to every customer. I would say it's the best for food. In fact we weren't even offered food as we watched other people order and eat. It seemed like your basic bar food. French fries. I know it's not usual to write a review having not tasted the food but that's the way it was here. I guess I would give it another star if we ever had anything to eat. Place was fun people were fun. read more

The staff here are incredibly friendly to us. We've never been when it has been busy Toni, Natalie & Rick are very engaging and down to earth. When I'm visiting Lake Oswego I'm taken here. Sat night we came here so I could watch college football game the coincided with The Ducks game. They graciously changed a smaller tv so I could watch another game and the main tv in the ducks. Typical bar food that is consistent. I always come back!! read more

Stopped by for a quick drink and food. My wife and I were greated with friendly service, great drinks and food! We were just looking for something simple and we each decided on a sandwich. The food was made fresh to order and served up quickly. We will be back to hang out at this cozy bar soon. read more

Firehouse Pub - Pubs Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

This place is alright. Definitely better than the Gemini down the street. The drinks are priced alright, and though it is a small place there are plenty of places to sit. The decor is kind of neat and they have little games on the bar and trivia nights. The bartendress during the week is a bit... blah. She didn't greet us when we came in (despite the entire place being totally empty)... she just stared at us and really made it feel like it was a huge bother to pour a couple beers. I'd visit again with friends if I wanted to go out but stay close to home. read more

Very cool atmosphere. Pool tables and TVs. Fast/friendly service. Food is...typical bar fare. Perfect accompaniments to the nice drink selection. I recommend it for a drink and a bite, and afterwards walking over to the Salt 'n Straw cart :) read more

Came here to watch a Duck game in early November, and my group came about 30 minutes before the game, and about an hour before a shift change. My one qualm was the service - lack of service, really. There was one bartender/cook staffing the whole thing - on a game night. In one of the 4ish sports bars in downtown L.O. Honestly, that's just poor planning. Bars like this, with a little fire-house gimmick, great bar and cozy atmosphere - they could make a killing on a bunch of people who literally came to drink and eat pub food. The beers took too long, the food took even longer - so by the time we got everything it our buzzes were fading. Come on! It's a three hour game! At least staff the kitchen as well as the bar! On top of everything the Ducks lost. Perhaps that's tainting my outlook on the experience, but they could have done a lot more to cheer us up from that loss! read more

I love this place!! Just moved back from Seattle and it's the first place I hit-not expecting much for LO....(no offense!) I felt like I was home right away, they have my fav beer that's hard to find down here. Paige played some awesome tunes and I can't wait to come back! read more

This is my favorite bar in Lake Oswego. Unpretentious, friendly, and never so crowded you can't find a place to sit or hear your friends. This is not the kind of bar you go to when you are wanting a big night out, but the perfect kind of bar for an after work drink or if you want a relaxed night with some friends. The patrons are generally a bit older, calmer, and most are regulars. I cannot say enough positive things about the staff. Sam always remembers a face and has a great personality. Sure, when they are packed it may take a while for a refill, but with a small bar that usually doesn't have enough of a crowd to require more than one person that is reasonable. It is a family run bar, so to keep it open they can't waste money on having more than one person working since most of the time it's not busy enough to merit that. It also does close around 10-11pm each night, but once again I think that is because it's never busy enough to merit the cost of staying open later. Food is good, the drinks are stiff, and the prices are low compared to the other bars in the area. read more

Great Lake Oswego dive bar. Paige was great at making everyone feel wanted. Her music choice was great for the crowd. Can't wait to go back and talk with her again. read more

Little hole in the wall in LO. Loved this place!! They had trivia games ranging from trivial pursuit to old beer games. Definitely a time warp kind of place! My DH and I burned a couple of hours here easily tonight. Staff was very friendly and upbeat and I think that if I'm in the area again- I'm going to stop in here. HH IS FROM 3-6 I think and it's based on firemen for all you firemen fans. You won't be disappointed here. You need to stop in here!! read more
