They host so many fun and creative events, including multiple Oscar parties and the mafia poker nights. They do St. Patrick's Day and a Derby party as well. The part itself has multiple rooms. They have video poker. They have a rather large back room for life, music and karaoke. They have a billiard room. They have outdoor seating front and back. And they have fantastic food! Thanks to Erick. I have a full bar and their drinks aren't expensive. You wouldn't know from the outside that the place is as large as it is. And it transforms, depending on the event. Cristina and her staff do a wonderful job decorating and hosting all the fun! I've been here countless times I feel it's a huge asset to the Milwaukie neighborhood!

This is not my normal 'vibe' BUT, I did have a great time because I was with a couple friends. We…read morewere just out with our birthday friend... the poor dear needed his rest and we promised one of us would sing a certain nerdtastic ballad, film it and deliver it for his birthday wish. We completed the assignment and had fun doing so. My friends had been here before... The bartender - complete sweetheart! Everyone who works there is super on it. I was very impressed that the bar has 3 completely separate spaces and you don't hear them when not in them. That is so impressive! The bar is in front (though there is a generous amount of seating outside also). There are several pool tables which people might have been playing? Then there is karaoke in the back. Their sound system is not bad at all - only once did major feedback kick in to challenge my eardrums. It's a very interesting mix of people with several dudes who clearly know what they're doing - and are lovely. It is always sweet when the folks sing insane and get support - and that they own it... like I am singing the shit out of Disney... the KJ is bubbly and sweet - it rocked we got there so late and she still managed to get us on her rotation. I didn't see a single person sing more than once but everyone seemed in great spirits which is the sign of a good spot for karaoke! If you are looking to get out of your shell and make some new friends, this might be a good option. There was a lot of diversity. I didn't order any food or actual drinks to report on. Perhaps next time if my friends bring me back again.

I noticed that they have a lot of dogs come in. It is disgusting when the bartenders hug and rub on them and don't wash their hands. Absolutely disgusting and unsanitary.

Gee, if only the management could respect the talent they hire for the evening by spelling their name correctly.

We first chose the high seats and then moved to a lower table. The server was nice and attentive. I went in with the notion of ordering fish and chips or some sort of seafood; however, I was enticed by the prime rib, as I did not care for the type of fish they had available. I ordered the prime rib (med-well) with mashed potatoes and veggies. My friend ordered the fish and onion rings. I also ordered jalapeno hushpuppies. My friend really enjoyed her fish and onion rings. She was going to take some home for dinner, but there was nothing left to take home. My prime rib was over-heated and came out well-done and dry. I ate around the edges and picked at the potatoes. The first batch of hushpuppies that came out was still raw. The server said we were lucky cause we got a free mini corn dog. I thought we were until I ate it, and half of it was still frozen. The server took the hushpuppies back, and they cooked them a little longer. They were fully cooked when she brought them back, but they were missing one key element. There was no hint of jalapenos. You could see green specks but could not taste them. If I am ever in the area again, I will come back and try something else.

Hey, want delicious food & friendly staff? The bar staff is so sincerely kind, it blew me out my…read morePortland proper mind. Fellow Portlanders, if you go out to the river, come here for food & prepare to have your mind blown by pre Covid prices & nice wait staff. Ask for Laurie & Soleil! Some would say dive bar, but I see Ponderosa pine bar tops with a live edge & reclaimed wood line the bar walls. In December 2023, the bar came under new management & there have been a lot of upgrades since then. Street parking & a small bar lot. Parking is limited... which brings me to a gentle warning: If you are going to the river for a day trip, I do not recommend parking here and leaving the bar. People get towed. The patrons of the bar are mostly regulars/locals who have developed a relationship with the bar staff, & they have an idea of whose cars are whose. I would not play that game of parking your car here and going to the river. That said, if you're coming back from the river and looking for a place to eat, I'd definitely park it here.
