The Garrison is a compact, cozy little corner bar that shares an outdoor patio with an amazingly…read morearomatic Italian joint that we have yet to try (but will soon!). We stopped in while wandering around the St. Johns Bizarre, and as such, due to the influx of the crowd watching the parade, they weren't offering full cocktails as they usually do here, instead opting for simple liquor & mixer only drinks, so I can't yet comment on the quality of their cocktails, but the bartender was so friendly, and the space so welcoming on a sunny spring day, that we vowed to return when things are a bit more normal, to scope out the vibe. The Garrison seems like it would be an required stop on any St. Johns pub crawl! We hope to find out sooner than later!

I recently went here with my partner. I got the grilled cheese with fries and some onion rings. I was absolutely starving, and this hit the spot. Everything was cooked well. I also ordered a vodka lemonade (my go-to at dives) and it was excellent and very strong. They do not pour light here! Overall, Slim's is a St. John's classic for good reason. I love going here, and will continue to frequent whenever I am in the area.

This joint is quintessential Portland; a nearly full house of local enjoying drinks inside and out. No, I wasn't expecting a large or diverse menu at a local pub, I just wanted something to eat. I spotted something on the menu that I never heard and knew I had to order it: Frito Pie! Yep, Fritos, smothered in chili and cheese, topped with sour cream (lettuce & tomato). My wife had the pulled brisket tacos. I have a rule, when traveling, eat what the locals eat. I love to travel just to eat what the locals eat. Yep, Frito Pie.

This being said, bring the hot dog bath up beyond tepid, flavor your "chili", aka can of beans, don't put lettuce on nachos or frito pie, and even if you have BBQ sauce with proper flavor, it doesn't belong on either of these dishes. Just stop!

When we inquired about a seat she just squeezed her way through our group of four to do something at the front of the establishment. Which I have to say is a weird set up and not very friendly atmosphere. So we sit outside to not be in the way I guess. One younger lady brought us waters and emphasized she was not a server. Ok. Cool. It took another 15-20 min to get the server over and when the older server lady asked for our drinks my little brother asked what kind of fountain drinks they had and instead of quickly listing off a couple she just said they are all on the menu. Rude. Ok. Off to a terrible start.the entire time ordering the lady had a rude attitude and tone towards us. I finally decided then I would not be spending my money at a place that seemed to not want me there. I left but the rest of my party stayed for what they said was good food. I don't care how good the food is if your wait staff is rude. I might give it a second try but we will see. I would not recommend coming in when it's busy because if the service is terrible when it's dead then l it probably will be worse then.
