Doing an Arleta Triangle event here, and wanted to try them out. They open at noon. Hubby ordered the Bacon Cheese Burger and Onion Rings. He said: "It was great! I can't stop eating!" I ordered the Reuben Sandwich. I probably ate everything, but I won't, yes I agree, you can't stop eating! (No prejudice here, but I always eat half of everything, and the other half for another meal). read more

TUESDAY, ordered a Reuben sandwich, (not pictured) and a grilled cheeseburger on light Rye but came toasted. Both were very good! Order fries with the grilled cheeseburger but got curly fries. But food overall was great! As, was the service on the Togo order. Like the food so much, so are the next day on Wednesday, trying their steak bites. $12 with a side of horseradish. That was a little disappointing in the amount that you got for 12 bucks. But overall we'll visit again and try them again for different items on the menu. Overall happy except for the amount on the steak bites. read more

We finally did finish the last chucker of our game in the Northern park (sorry Ally and Jay!!!). Two broken mallets and very tired polo ponies. The Gin reset the nerves straight, the Hamburger special our stomach's and the oat bags our four legged friends. read more

This place is great. Mostly a bunch of dudes hanging out listening to good tunes and having a good time. But what the heck they pour good shots and they have killer music. Oh the kind you don't have to pay a jukebox for either. Good chicken strips and awesome burgers. This place is da bomb. You can get an $8.00 cheeseburger here that taste better than a lot of the $20.00 burgers everywhere else. Just do it!!! read more

We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop at Putter's. The bartender was welcoming and after we seated ourselves, he came over to ask what we would like to drink. He is friendly & engaging. Promptly brought our drinks, took our food order and our meals arrived in a timely fashion. Steak bites were tasty, the hamburger was tasty as were the fries. Prices are reasonable. As it was late afternoon, the Bar wasn't noisy, so we could have a conversation. A nice change of pace! Give it a try! read more

I love this place. I go there all time, great music and all the patrons are cool but it's the three main bartenders that really put it over the top. DK, Rick and Erin are the best! read more

Drive by this place every day after work.. I was craving a hamburger this evening I decided to give it a shot!! I ordered it to go ... I just finished my burger I am in cheeseburger bliss .. yup .. it was that delicious read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for a few years and have been reluctant to try this place out. Tonight I was pleasantly surprised. The bar tender was instantly welcoming and personable. We ordered the burger and a club and had a few beers. Everything was delicious!! Will definitely be back regularly. read more

3 1/2 stars.....Nice people that work there and the food is pretty good. Try it and you will probably like it. 1 pinball game, 1 pool table, 6 lottery machines and a pretty decent patio but mainly smokers out there (ick). read more

Good good, friendly staff. Fair price. Went on a rainy Friday night. The worst part of the night was finding a parking spot. The bar was warm, friendly staff greeted you. Had a great burger and a brew. Will return. read more

Great neighborhood bar. Stopped in for a playoff game this week and was very pleased with the service, food, and prices. My husband and I split the Blazer Burger which was good - nice flavor and served pretty quickly. Vodka sour is always my go-to well drink and here they serve a decently strong drink that also tastes great. The server was very attentive - quick to get our drinks and food orders and checked in on us multiple times throughout the game. I appreciate that because often watching a game at a bar, bartenders tend to forget you, but not our server, he was great! Of course, I will be back! read more

That bartender Aaron... best bartender ever. Quick with a drink, but quicker with the wit. Friendly, personable fella. Top notch. Love this place! And, Aaron... can't say enough nice things. read more

I have gone to putters since the old location and we love their burgers and their service. I wish I still lived on the East Side so that I can go there more frequently again, but I visit there every chance I get. read more

Putter's Bar & Grill - AMAZING half eaten,, I could barely finish it,, Blazing Burger and fries - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Off night, or off cook? Hard to tell on a first visit. But the "special" Chicken Fried Rice Thursday night was was barely rice (rushed cooking with too much water is pretty obvious) and lumpy and globby and definitely not firm and refried like the worst Asian restaurant would have served. If only the cook had tried ONE bite they would never have served it. So avoidable a mistake if they had a bit of pride. read more

PROS: The wait staff is very kind & friendly, during Timbers games the cheeseburger is $4, there's a good selection of beers. CONS: The patio isn't really covered, so it's pretty much an oven on warm days. The bar hasn't really developed any character yet - it's just a physical space, the hand-formed hamburger patties have NO seasoning to speak of...there might as well be shredded newspaper in there for all the flavor they have. There's potential for a cool place here, it just hasn't found its footing yet. Maybe the yet-to-be-completed game room (w/ darts, please!) will help this joint find its identity. So far, it's a neighborhood place to watch a game in a pinch...hope that changes. read more

I've been to the new location several times now, and I am still liking this bar. The staff is very friendly and if you've been enough, they know what you like. The bartenders are fun and will make just about anything for you. They even get bored and will come up with their own drinks, and if you are the kind of person to try anything, they'll test their creations on you. That's always fun. The food is good, I've tried a number of things but I still have my favorites. It's fun to go in a group so you can share everything and try out things you might not eat if you went alone or with 1 other person. I'll be making it back because it's still close to enough my house. read more

We ate there tonight because we were looking for a neighborhood pub and our roommate said the food here was better than other nearby places. I had the halibut fish & chips and am currently nursing a stomachache. Biggest problem though was the service. Not everyone appreciates the whole "ironic" service thing that is so prevalent in Portland. Just be polite and friendly and don't give people a hard time or go out of your way to be cool. read more

Very judgmental staff, we came here at 10 PM and they complained about it being late. We dont know why when their site says closes at 130. Were def going other places tonight. read more

The food is good, better than a lot of the other places on Woodstock. Good prices and service. Definitely a place to catch a game or catch up with friends. It would be nice if they had a pool table like their old location. Update December 2017, the food has gone downhill. This used to be our go to spot for an easy dinner and drink. Sadly the new food that they have brought in just don't cut it. Staff is cool though. read more

I like this bar, good people and a good vibe. Staff is excellent. Nice place to relax and have a couple beers.

Very comfortably bar laid back and easy a small outside area to sit before 10 the inside is good with standard bar food read more

Nice atmosphere and great wings. I got to choose hotness level of 1-10, so i was feeling like i had brass balls the size of Texas that day and ordered the #10. Left the place feeling like my balls haven't even started to descend. Loved it though. Place is pretty clean and johny-on-the-spot service. Got pretty Lit on the cheap and woke up the next day feeling good because i normally feel like i got a summer sausage shoved in my butt after checking my bank account. Burger special on ducks and beavers games so lots of locals. Pretty annoying that day, sat next to a jamoke who wore a Georgia shirt , found out he wasn't a half bad dude. read more

Really good fish tacos and SMOB burger (Swiss cheese, Mushroom, grilled Onions, Bacon), nice choice of brews and a full bar. The service was delightful. read more

Nothing beats the friendly staff and service. I just moved to Portland and this charmed restaurant/bar is little sprinkle of luck. I love their burgers and I will continue to give them my business. read more

Well I tried, gave Putter's another chance. Walked in for a late lunch and the place was empty. Well, there were 2 people there. I sat at the bar, the 2 people noticed me but the bar tender was too busy complaining to the 2 people he didn't even notice me. Then again, maybe he did and he's just that much of a dick to not help me. I sat there for 5 mins. That's it, never again. I will shame this place every chance I get. read more

Tried the new Putters last night. Very boring and dark. The people there seemed like zombies but the wait staff was nice. No music and no area for a live band which is of great importance. Way too yuppy for me no fun at all and since when did bars allow dogs in the restaurant... That was not pleasant. The food that patrons ordered did look good I will give them that much. The smoking area was horrible and the ash trays over flowed with buts. Not attractive. When will people understand that most drinkers and bar patrons smoke. I don't smoke and I'm not one of those complainers and it does not bother me much. It actually comes with the territory. People should not be judged or treated like second class just cause they smoke. Too many cry babies, it's a bar for goodness sake. I felt like the customers treated the smokers like they have the plague not cool at all, everyone should be able to sit outside together. The law is 10 feet from the door in Oregon. Not a big deal. I won't be returning too boring and the people seemed pretentious and rude. I love live music that is what I look for in a great bar or pub, it's obvious this will never happen. After 2 shots and one drink my tab was 20$, that's a ripoff, especially when they have nothing to offer in entertainment. This place won't last long. read more

I've only been to the new Putter's once, but I kinda liked it. It's nice and clean inside and the bathrooms don't smell weird like they did at the old location. I had the clam strips with fries and they were fantastic. The bartender was nice, and the outdoor seating area was roomy and pleasant. The best part was the pack of meatheads who hung around on the sidewalk smoking, yelling at their wives/girlfriends, and blocking the front door don't seem to have followed Putter's down Woodstock. read more

Great neighborhood bar. This place makes really good fries and hot wings!! The bartenders are very friendly too. They are more than happy to make any random drink for you. The bartender Syria makes the best refreshing cocktail called Syria! read more

I am not sure what happened to this place, but it has went severely down hill. The new male nighttime bartender is the worst. There were a great group of women bartenders and a nice daytime male bartender I think only the daytime male bartender remains, every previous woman bartender is gone. The crowd was a nice mix of old and young with a sprinkle of tweakers which the women bartenders kept under control. This new guy is not only oblivious to what is going on. It he is a horrible bartender. Not to mention his shirts are too small for him. I've went 3 times while he was on shift hoping it would be someone different the 2nd and 3rd time. He is smug and speaks down to people. Pretty much the worst kind of service person. There is no one in the bar ever anymore, it's tweakers and people like me who stop in for one drink after realizing the bartender is inept and rude. I believe his name is Aaronhe has glasses and short brown hair, and did I mention the too small of shirts. First day you could his hairy middrift was actually hanging out. I can't imagine they would be ok with one of the women bartenders doing that so why does this jackwagon get to do it? You will lose your business completely if you don't make severe changes. This place sucks now. read more

Jus so-so. The Bloody Mary was not very good, tasting like little more than vodka and V8 or mixer. The bleu burger stated it had bleu cheese crumbles, but instead showed up drowning in bleu cheese salad dressing. The burger buns were OK, the patties were nothing special, and the bacon burger's bacon was just OK. The place seems regularly busy, so we figure they're doing something right. We just didn't seem to find out what it was. My quest for awesome burgers continues, as does my wife's quest for awesome Bloody Marys. read more

Drinks were great and Tina was exceptional behind the bar. Friendly, great service-couldn't ask for more. Going back to try food menu-looks great! read more

Spontaneous Harley ride on an unexpectedly beautiful April afternoon. We ended up at Putter's. First time there. Great neighborhood bar! Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff, good service. We had wings and chicken strips. Delicious bar food. Fries were tasty. We will be going back for sure! read more

I can't say there is anything super unique or special about putters, but the staff alone is what makes this place shine. Standard bar food (love the Cobb salad) and very affordable breakfast on the weekends (until 1pm). Regulars are friendly, lots of TVs for sports ball, and a covered patio for the smokers....things you can find at almost any neighborhood bar, but the staff keeps me coming back. read more

Came to watch the Sat night division rivals Eagles and Redskins. Amazing service! Had the Nachos. They serve the chips on the side so they don't get soggy, smart. Legit beer selection. Lots of TVs. More seating than appears. Definitely a local spot. We got the stink vibe a bit when we came to watch football instead of the Blazers. Eventually got shut out. No problem, we're Seahawks fans anyway. Definitely a good spot for a pint, however not to hang out for the night unless you're a local. read more

Love the burgers and tots. Such a great atmosphere and service and love the 80s music.
