    We came here to watch a few Blazers games. They have a taco truck in the parking lot most nights (not Sunday tho during bingo we were told). You can order and he'll bring your food inside to you. Few TV's, a jukebox, video lottery (someone won like $900 and bought everyone a round!) a pool table and a nice bartender. They don't stock much soda. I asked for a recommendation to go with cold Fireball and she suggested root beer. She mixed the root beer up from a Crystal Lite type packet. It was a very strong flavor but I liked it. It's a chill dive bar with a patio and a taco truck. ayou won't get charged an arm and a leg.

    Good dive bar. Came in randomly on our way to take a friend home on a Saturday afternoon. Older lady behind bar, very attentive but not the Friendliest. We may have been overdressed as we were coming home from a funeral. Shuffleboard here. A fair amount of tv's and though I am nervous of the cleanliness of taps a DB's the Rolling Rock I had and PBR for my friend tasted great. Great prices, may stop in again someday. Was half tempted to try a Tall can of Hamms just out of curiosity - lol.

    Pretty chill dive. I stumbled in on a heavy metal jukebox set. The bartender was metal. The patrons were metal. The place was cool.

    This was some of the best food I've had in a while! I was a little iffy about coming here for lunch…read moresince I had been here once for dinner and it wasn't my favorite experience, but I'm so glad I gave it another try. The lunch portions were incredibly generous, especially the grilled cheese and fries, which were actually a kids meal! The buffalo chicken Caesar wrap was a little lacking in Caesar flavor, but where it lacked in Caesar, it definitely made up for it with the buffalo flavor, and it was still incredible. 10/10 across the board! The customer service was also amazing, and the staff were genuinely such a pleasure to interact with. And the little doodle on the bag was just the cutest added bonus! Definitely left much happier with this visit than my first one!

    Came here recently with a friend and left thoroughly impressed. We started with the oregano fried…read morebread appetizer, served with a crème fraîche basil sauce and a roasted tomato dipping sauce -- it was absolutely delicious and set the tone for the rest of the meal. For mains, my friend ordered the elk burger, and as a self-proclaimed elk burger connoisseur, her approval means something -- she thoroughly enjoyed it. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, which was good and flavorful, and paired really well with their pepper & cabbage coleslaw on the side. We also split a cup of the roasted red pepper and tomato bisque, which was honestly a highlight of the whole meal -- rich, well-balanced, and worth ordering on its own. Drinks deserve a shoutout too: their non-alcoholic options were great. My friend raved about the guava lemonade, and I had the blueberry vinegar shrub, which was excellent -- bright, crisp, and refreshing.

Good music playing from the turntable, All my questions answered wo any judgment- unfortunately hard to find that in the city, drinks prices were only barely slightly above the average rate but crafted with care Love this place love these folks pls give them your money

Fantastic wallpaper that has the feeling of William Morris gone wild or jungle. Black and white film noir with Gene Kelly and other is playing on the screen and there is a black-and-white ink drawing of a recognizable actor in the corner complete with candles lit in vigil. We all had cocktails, mine was a chilled bar martini dirty with extra olives. And they really understood the assignment with the olives. Between us we had a dozen and a half Shigoku oysters from Washington state. And fresh grated horseradish was a bonus alongside the mignonette. The table favorite after the oysters were the deviled eggs. You have to try the truffle popcorn with the fluffy freshly grated Parmesan. That will disappear quickly. The service was attentive throughout our two hour visit. Matthew checked in regularly without being overly solicitous. Looking forward to returning again. Wonderful outdoor eating area that we didn't take advantage of this time but absolutely plan to.
