I came here for a bite to eat and a few drinks before a hockey game. They have cider on draft which is a bonus since both my date and I don't drink beer. I ordered the tat-chos made gluten and dairy free. There is cross contamination so if you are celiac don't eat here. I love some good tots so this meal didn't disappoint. My date for a BLT with tots. Overall a cool little dive bar with pool and pinball games read more

Great food, lots of variety. Patio was warm enough on an extremely cold day. Good service. read more

Decided to stop by Hungry Tiger after finding out this bar served my all-time favorite comfort food - corndogs! The music was good and there was ample seating for a bar, however the bartender seemed as if I was somehow inconveniencing him by ordering. While the corndog crust was crispy, I felt like the hotdog itself was a little cold. The pretzel itself was amazing, but the vegan cheese sauce was not good at all, and neither was the mustard dip. The tater tots were outstanding though! Overall okay experience, maybe I just came on an off night. read more

What a cool little dive bar! The vibe in here is so relaxed and casual and I had a really great time with my group. Came for happy hour and ordered some food which all hit the spot. I'd rate it slightly better than your regular bar food. They had a great selection of drinks! Bartenders were super quick and very nice read more

My fiancee and I stopped in for some food and a couple of drinks when we were in Portland and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Service was quick and the vegan mac & cheese we got was delicious. It's such a cool space and we had a blast! read more

My friend told me about this cool bar in Portland that has a pool table plus it's vegan friendly & meat friendly and I was sold! We went (party of 4) on a Friday night around 8:30pm, there was only street parking available but it wasn't difficult to find a spot. It was pretty busy with a long line to order food & drinks but the line went fast and we got our food within 30 minutes. Inside the bar there are tables around the pool table area and it can get quite loud. It was a little hard to have a conversation inside but it's a bar, people are eating, drinking and playing pool so it's expected. There is also an outside patio area. We ordered so much food and I loved every bite! For starters we ordered 2 vegan corn dogs which were everything I've been missing for the past 9 years. They were so good I got a little suspicious wondering if they were really vegan. The corn dogs are house battered and served with a sauce of your choice. The vegan Tiger Fries were incredible! They kind of reminded me of disco fries because of the vegan cheese sauce mixed with the rosemary and garlic. They also offer regular Tiger Fries which our friends ordered and enjoyed. We ordered two different vegan Mac's - vegan Chicken and Broccoli & vegan Cheeseburger Mac. Both very delicious! The veg chicken and broccoli was made with Beyond Chicken that was seasoned in house - I loved it! The veg Cheeseburger Mac was made with Beyond Beef which was also seasoned in house - this was full of flavor and tastes exactly how you'd imagine. Some non vegan appetizers that were ordered - Soft Pretzel with Cheese - friends said the pretzel was great but the cheese sauce wasn't warmed up and it was more of a goo than a sauce. Hard to dip the pretzel. Tiger Fries with Parmesan and garlic aioli - friends said these were delicious and they would order them again. Teriyaki Chicken Bowl- friends said the sauce was nice, it was served with broccoli, carrots, green onion and breaded chicken. Overall we had a great experience and will go back for more vegan friendly and meat friendly options! read more

There's a review below mine by someone named Alex G. that NAILS it. I have also been in the industry for over 10 years serving and bartending. I have also never met a bartender that is as much of a see you next tuesday (I never use this language unless it's THAT bad. Read the hundreds of reviews about her on every review platform.) as one of the women behind the bar. The fun vibe/decor and food is not worth it with this person ruining your experience. She's been there for YEARS treating people like absolute garbage and is somehow still employed. It does not matter how kind you are--she is nasty, rolls her eyes, and will chuck your food at you. There are plenty of other fun bars in Portland. Give your money to those folks instead. read more

I am in love with this bar. It is a 2 minute walk from my place and I couldn't feel luckier. Any day, any time... the vibes are immaculate. The food is also so good and served every hour they are open! The maple mustard dipping sauce is so fire. Overall, for a causal dinner, your main stop, or your last, this bar is the place. read more

this place is amazing!! vegan food? pinball? pool? patio? corndogs? awesome bartenders? tigers everywhere? yes, yes, yes.......yes!

Just left the Hungry Tiger. It would've been a chill experience but the bartender with glasses had a hostile attitude that was extremely hard to ignore. Sounds like she's the one that everybody else is talking about in the reviews that depicted unpleasant experiences. If I were to speculate, I think she was upset because there were four of us who presented at once with an intention to um order drinks and food at a bar? We had two separate orders, no big deal right? Well seemed like it was based on her attitude. It was a Tuesday night so I'm not sure why she was so rude given the fact that it wasn't crowded and nobody was waiting to order after us. Anyway- brace yourself if you encounter her. Or just don't come here at all. read more

Back again with another review for Hungry Tiger. The vegan wings, smothered with bbq sauce, were delicious, and perfect for dipping in ranch. A crunchy texture! And of course, you have to try the famous corn dog. read more

Ended up at this bar when the one near our conference hotel closed too early plus my colleagues wanted to play pinball so drinks and pinball only for our group. The bartender was great! Attentive with just the right amount of attitude and even made sure our rideshare arrived to bring us back to our hotel since we were the last folks out. I even got to explain the shot and a beer concept (that was on special) to a couple of Brits so that was fun. Would definitely hang out again for ambiance and the Godzilla pinball machine. read more

Guys I've worked in the industry for 10 years, serving and bartending. So trust me when I tell you the bartenders here suck lol. The female bartender is so insanely rude its shocked me both times I've gone in. No matter how friendly you are, she will treat you like garbage, it's crazy. And it's not like a "oh it's a dive bar" rude it's like full on talking down to you, throwing your food at you, rolling her eyes at you when you ask for something rude. I only gave this place a second chance after the first bad experience because the foods solid and the place itself is a good place to hang out but never again. There's no shortage of other bars in Portland to go spend your money or time in. Judging from the other reviews this place isn't willing to do anything to change the staff that people constantly have a problem with. read more

This place gets 5 stars because I love it!! Nothing says comfort food like fries and corn dogs...well for me at least. I haven't been able to get a decent one in the 23 years I have been vegetarian. This place is legit good! It's down inside street so it took an extra minute to find it which makes it all that much better. It looks as if it's in the ground floor of an older home. You walk in to a bar and dark hole-in-the wall vibes. There aren't a ton of tables so I feel like this place is more of a "bar" than a restaurant. We sat at the bar got a drink special (shot and beer) and ordered the fries and corndogs. All came out so crispy and fresh we ate every morsel. My only complaint if there is one was the bartender. Zero personality, he just stood there barely saying a word, looking like he was annoyed we were there. We had to spark some kind of discussion with him since we were the only patrons. Besides him this place is a 5 star for me. We came twice during our 3 day stay!! read more

Hungry Tiger - Happy hour - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I actually really like this place, the food, ambience, the crowd it attracts. I used to live a few blocks away and would visit very often, it used to be very fun and often crowded but I went for the first time in a while recently and had a terrible experience with the bartender. She was very rude from the start, she got overwhelmed with my order (a simple order of a shot and beer- the special) I had to order again but ultimately I had to leave because of her rude and horrible attitude- just not worth it. read more

The vegan nachos were really good. The bartender was really nice. Just the right amount of nice without trying. :) She creates a comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to become a regular. read more

A dear friend introduced me to a favorite spot of hers. The Hungry Tiger has two things.... 1) A SOLID foot hold into the potential for being one of the last true hold outs of punk rock bathrooms in Portland. I do not give this title.... Just the potential for a nod or possible honorable mention. Although there were Clorox wipes in there also so that might take them straight out of the running since that squelched a lot of fear one should have in a proper punk rock scene bathroom where you were fearful to even hover over the lid. 2) One of the crabbiest bar tenders in PDX - just wow, why you so mad? Apparently asking what kind of cheese they had for my burger was taking our relationship to a level she did not consent to. Maybe I look like her ex-wife? I do not know but me and my friend kept doing whatever we could to go to the other person because he was delightful. I know we all gotta earn a living but when you are talking to people as if you want to do damage to their face, maybe dealing with the public isn't your jam? Later she seemed to be having a drink as a customer staring at her phone in between glaring at others. Me and my friend are super friendly too so she was seriously coming for us for no reason. This was a cute space too with pretty alright food. Got a bit busy towards 11 with some nice locals. I did love all the Tiger vibes - embracing a theme is pretty great and so is a nice paint job. Makes you want to stay and hang out. MY friend is a vegan and this spot has a ton of options for her and also a bunch of meat for those of us who go either way. The burger was beef for me and honestly I sort of wished I grabbed a veggie one because the flavor was meh... The tots were that perfect crispy though and I was having some jealousy looking at my friend's nachos which looked pretty amazing. read more

My favorite bar in all of Portland. I would describe it as an elevated dive. A pool table with pin ball machines and unexpectedly yummy food. Not only is it still affordable but the service is IMPECCABLE. Now I may be biased as at this point I'm a regular -but- every bartender and barback is kind and down to chat with you (when it's not busy). Now if you come here as much as me, they'll remember the name on your card, but if you're trans like me and change your name... not only will they respect you but they'll also Remember. Ive spent countless days after work here and my 25th birthday ( if you wanna give the bartenders cake some are gluten free) and I'll never stop coming back. Is the patio heated? No. But will I chain smoke there anyway? YES. If you want a chill bar with genuine people and particularly difficult trivia... come here. You won't regret it. read more

Patio is okay but don't love that you have to form a line to get your drinks. Atmosphere is kinda meh. It's a local spot but not one I frequent. No tv's. read more

I depended on this bar for dinner most of my adventure visiting Oregon! Thank god they were open late and had cute ambience, wonderful vegan options along with non vegan options for my meat eating boyfriend. Most of the bartenders were amiable, but some of them seemed to be a little off putting, maybe they were having a hard day. I truly enjoyed my three nights here and the vegan Mac with broccoli and vegan corn dogs were my favorite! I definitely highly recommend this establishment for anyone visiting Portland! Such a fun place (though I tried to convince the bartender to put up a random photo of tiger woods or Tony the Tiger, the only two tigers I didn't see!) read more

This is maybe my third or fourth time stopping in. Played some pool, drank a beer, got some bar food. Server assistant/food runner/bussed always is going such a fantastic job. Props to him :) Everything was lovely! Except today both mine, and my partner's stomachs were quite upset, and the only common denominator was what we ate at hungry tiger, so I'm docking a star for that. Otherwise, everything was awesome as always. We will be back! read more

I called ahead after a bad experience at a different restaurant and John answered the phone. He was extremely helpful so my wife and I decided to stop by. We sat at the bar ordered food and decided to take a table instead. A guy comes out and said let me wipe the table and helped us with getting our food and extra sauces. Before we left I asked him if he answered the call and sure enough he did. From start to finish, John was great! He really made our whole experience! I cannot say enough. Food was great. We ordered the vegan corndog and the vegan bacon cheeseburger. Cocktails were good too, Tiger Tea was a favorite! read more

I've been coming here for the last 7 years and have been a huge fan as my local food spot/bar. I would take my friends here when they come visit or recommend the spot to anyone in central Eastside. Sadly I've been coming in less and less because of consistent bad service. I am made to feel unwelcome in a place I've been frequenting for years so I'm here writing my first yelp review ever. I was here on Sunday 5/25 at 230 pm and specifically have had an unpleasant experience with the same bartender. The bartender was stand offish and very unkind. I don't expect to be best friends with my bartender but just a common decency is appreciated if I'm going to spend my hard earned money here. This is very disappointing, as I work in the food industry myself and have never felt the need to write a review! I was there with my friend and we both left without ordering food bc we felt so unwelcome. Do better! Thanks! read more

Came here with my family and upon arrival bartender (older petite person with glasses) was very rude and clearly annoyed to our entire party of 4. Chucked it up to a bad day at best and still tipped, later to find out she made a mistake on delivering our order and when asked to resolve she was very snarky and once my friend asked why she was being rude, she threatened not to serve us anymore. We all sympathized thinking she was having a difficult night however there are several reviews specifically about her and her infamous unkindness and being overall unpleasant and rude to patrons. Really loved the hungry tiger before however it seems the bar refuses to coach or even shine light on this persons behavior. I believe in the best of people however this may be a case of habitual unwelcomeness and hatred towards guests. Her colleagues even apologized to our party for her behavior, I do hope management or owners look into this although Im doubtful. Please beware of this server if they serve you. read more

Hungry Tiger - Vegan totchos fries - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

People are super nice, good prices and vegan corndogs never fail on a long night after playing at the pool table and having a couple drinks

Hungry Tiger, where the hunger is real, but the satisfaction is as elusive as a mirage in the desert. Never have I ever walked out of a restaurant gagging and nearly throwing up, until I came here!! I ordered the fish sandwich, or should I say the aquatic abomination. The "fish" fillet was as dry as the Sahara, leaving me questioning if it had ever seen the depths of the ocean. However, I'm sure that the undercooked frozen fish stick shoved in between two soggy hot dog buns was still swimming by the time it reached my table. The chicken strips were so disappointing, I genuinely couldn't even tell if the chicken made it into the fryer. I fear the chicken never made it to the other side of the road, the tenders were as flat as road kill. read more

Found this gem by googling "vegan bar" in Portland. It's a very casual bar to enjoy tasty food and delicious drinks. I ordered hand cut fries, beyond meat tacos, and my boyfriend got mac and cheese with vegan cheese and broccoli. Oh yeah, they have extensive vegan food options and what we tried was super fresh, delicious and honestly impressive for a bar! They also have pinball machines and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

I came here because I was in town for a convention and some people organized a meetup here to accommodate the vegans in our group. I arrived ahead of time, lucked out, and snagged a parking spot across the street. I learned there's an outside patio for smokers but I only poked my head outside for a moment when I arrived to look for people. I sat inside surrounded by tiger decor everywhere While I waited, I ordered a 12th Street Pounce - a beautiful drink vodka, fresh squeezed grapefruit with grapefruit bitters. lychee syrup and a St. Germain wash. I saw several people enjoying soft pretzels so I ordered one when my drink came and was pleased to have it with vegan cheese sauce. When people arrived, some of us split an order of fully loaded vegan tot-chos with extra jalapeños and house-made salsa. Both were very good if not on the greasier side. The server was very friendly and also let us know that all their food could be made vegan! It was packed with people by the time that I departed and if I lived locally, I'd definitely make this a place I'd frequent. read more

I dooooo really love it here, I like the cheap vegan food and the cheap cider and the roomy seating inside and out but what I don't love is the woman (sorry to assume gender, they are woman presenting so I'm going with that) who works here with the gray hair and glasses who seems to hate customers :( my partner and I dread when we have to be served by her. I can see in other reviews that other people feel the same. So while the vegan corn dogs are the best around, beware of the nightmare bartender. Like I know it's a dive bar and I don't need to be waited on hand and foot but damn would it kill you to treat me like a normal human/customer. Shoutout to the other workers tho read more

Hungry Tiger - a beer and a glass on a table - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I came here by myself: I was not aware that people of color were not welcome. After standing in line to be serviced I was denied service despite following the social rules of waiting in line and striking up a conversation. I had only striked a random conversation with others in the bar. I was in line after another couple spoke to me: When I disengaged with the couple to order, I was denied service. Keep in mind all we spoke about was my Latin food and general heritage. I left with no fuss when I was asked to. I was told "I'm not comfortable serving you" by a white woman bartender to me a brown woman who literally did nothing offensive, but of course this is Portland, such a disgrace. I replied with an okay thank you and walked out the door. Also, if the owner or whoever wants to ask for proof. I have my statements and you guys have cameras. Keep in mind that I was serviced when I arrived BEFORE they heard where my family is from and when I was denied I was in no way disorderly before, during, or after. read more
