You gotta be joking with the prices of these dive bars nowadays. $9 for a "tall" Hornitos n soda that doesn't even come in a pint glass. I asked for the next step up from well, thinking logically, maybe like $6? Considering most places well is $4.25-5.25? I don't even wanna know how much the well costs here lol This place used to be affordable and a cool spot to hangout. Not sure what happened. You'd think places like this would go back to pre-Covid prices but apparently not. Paying Downtown prices in a shitty foster neighborhood bar is a wild time to be alive lol Highway robbery right before your eyes. Used to be a day where you didn't HAVE to ask what the price of liquor was because that was an industry standard. That shit does not exist anymore. Enjoy the $2 tip I guess‍ read more

Red's Bar & Grill - A glorified short class posing as a "tall" - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My favorite bar in Portland! We stayed in the neighborhood.. were just on the hunt for a gathering spot... worked out great!

Best customer service once you become a regular here, they remember you they have sex video poker machines. The food is really good... and it is reasonably priced they have breakfast all day long. That is totally a bonus. There is ample parking. The bathrooms are clean. They have a nice jukebox, they have Star Wars pinball and a pool table. read more

Be aware of being filmed°°°and recorded. Drugs are running through the bar and OLCC has been notified. The bar "manager" Julie...when she SHOWS UP twirls her hair in hand and takes inventory. She is rude and indifferent. I will not go back to them again. Food fair, at best- and overpriced. Bartenders depends on the shift. read more

By far, the WORST food I have ever eaten in a public establishment. It doesn't matter what you order it's disgusting! The Cordon Bleu sandwich was literally Wonder bread with deli ham and deli cheese. I could continue but I don't have the stomach to finish the descriptions. This place is full of clientele which is reminiscent of 1960s and the service leaves a lot to be desired. Save your money and go to the nearest hospital cafeteria for a better dining experience read more

Order the chicken wings! Crispy and well seasoned. It's cool if you want to get a quick bite to eat. read more

This place is a no nonsense, old school bar to get a drink and have a chat with no pretence about anything. No craft cocktails, nothing too fancy, just a place to drink and eat, with good service and good food and prices that aren't outrageous. Tired of going to places that had a staff to envision an experience and cultivate a vibe? Come to here! read more

Had to ask bartender every time for a new drink! There taco Tuesday is nasty and honestly my stomach hurt for 2 hours, now horrible diarrhea. Ohh and the bartender accused me of stealing a bottle of Tapatio from them read more

Red's Bar & Grill is a very open, and accommodating bar. It has the good ole "dive" feel, most of us want, with sooo much more to offer. As far as this particular neighborhood goes, their liquor & beer selection is BAR NONE (pun intended). Food is amazing! The cooks go above & beyond to make sure everything is to order. Not only that, but they never turn up their nose to a special order. Steaks come out sizzling, variety of soups, wonderful salads! Their daily special provides a great mix to the regular menu, especially the seasonal additions. (Just had a Black & Bleu Salad - steak to your order, Bleu cheese crumbles, on a bed of spring mix greens with all the goodies in a salad, plus garlic bread ) AMAZING! Not only that, they serve breakfast the whole time they're open!!! Bartenders are seasoned, curtious, and honestly seem to care about everyone's well-being. I see how people may feel it's a bit "cliquey", but I think that's simply because these people have loved this bar for so long, they have built a family amongst themselves. That made me feel wonderful about this place. Everyone is quick to judge, but that's exactly what we are all fighting against! Proud of this neighborhood bar! Good food. Good drinks. EVEN BETTER PEOPLE! read more

My old drunk, deadbeat BF always wanted to go here, so finally, I did, in his stead...as far as making food, the grill couldn't be better...the onions were grilled, the mushrooms delicious...and everything was quite well-made. I had the special, enchilada pie, which made me look around the next day for the exact same thing. Thank you chef. Also, if you want the stiffest screw-driver in the entire world-then this is the place to be... read more

The younger bartender was so rude with an attitude like she was better than me. Very uninviting. Her nasty attitude matches her nasty face.​ read more

This is one of those places you don't want to write a review for because it's just THAT good. Bartender Candy is awesome, the food is just as good, the pours are even better. Football, good (classic leaning) music, decent parking. One of my local favorites. read more

Red's Bar & Grill - Garlic blt W/ Baseball fries (garlic) - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I stopped by this place to have some drinks and food. The food was actually very good especially the steak sandwich and fish! and although the food was good and I liked the retro environment.. I wish the women who work there were more organized they're more obsessed with the register and receipts and where things are located they're always running around training somebody it would be nice if they actually spent more time focusing on the customer I had to flag them down every time I wanted a drink. Friendly customers and comfortable place I'll definitely go back read more

Not bad i like they infused Vodka options my favorite, was the jalapeno. They had habenero and ghost pepper for the balsy As well which i enjoyed very much so. Not high prices either and it wasn't crowded or to loud which i appreciated. Waitress bartender was pleasant but at times i really had to speak up it took her three tinea of me asking her excuse me can i get a straw but it didn't bother me. read more

Not sure what I love more about Red's...is it the dogs left in cars in the parking lot barking for hours or the engines revving before the drunks hit the road on their way home (or to another bar?) If you want to get over-served and accosted by the "regulars", this might be the place for you! If you like getting in drunk fights in the middle of the night, definitely come here! I would recommend ANY bar in this part of town over Red's. Please go away Red's. More importantly, please go away Red's patrons. read more

Friendly and kind staff. They have amazing drinks and food with great prices. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great bar and grill. read more

People have left some pretty bad reviews about this place. I'm not doubting their experiences, but I will give a little context. This is a crappy dive bar where about a dozen hardcore regulars go just about every night. They all know eachother, and they get rowdy and stupid together all the time, which can be fun to observe if that's your thing. I go here because the bartenders are friendly and the food isn't bad. It's cheap, consistent and really close to my house. I'm not saying this place is some hidden, underrated gem, but don't write it off just because people go there expecting it to be a 'nice' dive bar and leave a 1 star review. read more

The service is great I went to order buffalo wings and I paid $12 for it I got six pieces a couple of carrots and celery the lady told me that the pieces of chicken were big but they were just regular wings for $12 and a couple of pieces of vegetables their portions are too small and too expensive read more

Only a handful of customers in the building, but the wait staff ignored me for a good 15 minutes before getting to me. They appeared to be more concerned with talking to their friends. The same thing happened when I ordered my second drink. I stood at an empty bar for what seemed like a month, waiting for the bartender to stop joking with her friends. And when I asked for a menu, she acted like I was inconveniencing her. I honestly did nothing to these people. They apparently just don't like tending bar, which is maybe not the best trait for a bartender. And I never ordered food, but it seriously looked like the stuff you see at a truck stop. read more

We went for Taco Tuesday. It is definitely a local/dive/neighborhood bar. Not for the faint of heart! They have a huge TV for football. Good specials for game days. The bartenders pour decently enough to feel you got your money's worth. I got the soft tacos. They were HUGE! Basic, no frills, but filling. My man got the crunchy. Same thing. I see the reviews about poor service. We didn't encounter that at all. The cook was a little gruff but he was friendly. The bartender was engaging, even thought we arrived shortly before the regulars started pouring in. She checked in with us on a regular basis and even stopped to chat for a minute. The reason for just 3 stars is because getting out of the parking lot is not fun at the early evening hours, the bathrooms need some renovations (clean but old) and the booths are NOT comfy. We will go back because we were told the Friday Fish & Chips are a great deal. read more

This place is everything good and bad about Foster... although not technically Felony Flatts... it's sleazy, sometimes volatile, sometimes mind-numbingly boring... there wasn't a night gone by in which I did not witness some booze-fueled alpha-cuck shenanigans. Their breakfast burger with ham is frickin' delicious. They have some sleazy lotto-machines too. read more

Oh my gosh one of the best breakfast steaks 8 oz sirloin cooked perfectly! Saturday and Sunday one of the best Bloody Mary bars do it yourself of course that's the best read more

This is a great for a local bar with pretty good food. The pours are good and the staff is friendly enough. When this place really shines is when you start to become a regular. Red's and their customers can be a little rough around the edges, but that is what I am looking for in my regular drinking spot. To put it another way, you won't find any hipsters or Justin Beiber look-a-likes here. And terrific crispy wings! read more

Great friendly staff , Awesome burgers and fantastic bloody marys!!! Local hangout with nice patio. You have got to try it.

One of the things I used to look forward to was Saturdays and Sundays at Reds on Foster. For the money the best Bloody Mary bar in town. Probably 50 ingredients or better, tall glass full of vodka all for $5.00 or so. Taco's are 2 for $3 and they are pretty good especially considering the price. I I like to get 2 or 4 and crunch it all up and turn it into a taco salad, where else you gonna get a good taco salad for $3, or even $6? They pour a good drink too... and for football they run all the games college and pro. Wings are great, soup is good, chili is better and did I mention they pour a good drink? read more

I like this place. They've got guests all the time and both of the bartenders that have served me seem to be on point, one of them even turns on the baseball game and pours my beer before I can even sit down. Between taco Tuesdays and their burgers, I can eat well. Good service and all sorts of people having a good time. read more

We stopped into Red's to play video poker, have a Long Island, and place a Lunch order to go. There was only one other patron in the bar. You would think our lunch order would be fine, right? How difficult are burgers and fries, right?? Well, here at Red's, my bacon double cheeseburger was ok. But, the condiments on the side(?) well, that was a totally different story. There were 2 sliced tomatoes, 3 slices of red onion, which was great. But, when it came to lettuce(?) that was sorely lacking. It looked like there were 6 very small pieces of wilted lettuce on the bottom of the burger which was drowning in mayo. Btw, someone should tell the cook that the bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and onion go on the top of the burger not the bottom! That is a no brainers. As for the fries, well, they weren't raw but, they weren't fully cooked either! They were like greasy, warm and mushy. Just awful! This is not the first time my hubby and I have eaten here for lunch. But, it will definitely be the last time we eat here. The bill was $36 and some change and let me tell you, Carl's Jr, was better than Red's. Do NOT waste your money on food. The only thing worth the price is the liquor!! read more

Tater tits? Really? A trip with $5 the Plaid Pantry would suit you better to grab a 6-pack then to venture into this place. Went in for a drink, and a ton of big screens playing nothing but Judge Judy, and then a quick menu exam revealed the aforementioned "tater tits" (tater tots, available in an "A" or "B" cup) Not even sexist...just stupid. read more

Cheap bar food at cuisine prices. Lottery is only basic not silver series. Food was over cooked& waitresses only wait on men. This is no place to go for a good meal at a good price. read more

Red's is the perfect little neighborhood bar. It has everything you need at reasonable prices, convenience, and friendly staff. We go in regularly for the Happy Hour slider baskets and breakfast and their bloody mary bar on the weekends. Night crowd can get a little rowdy, but the cute young ladies always keep everyone in check! Definitely give them a shot if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Friendly, NFL on TV, and an extensive bloody mary bar on Sundays. Win! Win! Win! Okay, maybe that is over the top but it is a decent casual bar. read more

Probably the grossest bar I've been too. I also briefly worked for them, the back of the house is disgusting and should be shut down. It's a joke back there. Pissed I have to even give one star. Only still open because of regulars but that'll hopefully change too once they find hair on their burger like I did. read more

Awful service, okay crowd and over priced food. There's games and video poker a nice outside area but overall not worth it. Way better bars in the area to go to wouldn't waste my time here! read more

Outstanding service outstanding food at a decent price. A few good ol locals getting loud and having a good time make ya feel right at home. I give it two thumbs up. Bartenders are very friendly and fast. read more

It's the bar where everybody knows your name and what you drink..great food and bartenders...Judy's breakfast is fantastic..and they have soups and daily food and drink specials..and the food is real home cooking like your mom used to make...yummingggg read more

I came from Hollywood (Portland) I tend to find a place I am comfortable with, affordable, safe with predictable food and drink. My suggestion to the other YELP reviewers don't make one visit and expect to get the full picture of staff and patrons. After frequenting reds for a month I connected with Ducks ,Beavers Sales people contractors self employed and retired neighbor hood folk. The core clientele are hard working honest neighborhood however some bad seeds can blow in. On more than one occasion the girls will take control with the backup support of the regular customers. Just had the Foster burger my way it was great. read more

I dropped into Red's because a friend recently started working there. I was pleasantly surprised to see a couple of Microbrews on tap. Not something easily found so far out on Foster Rd. Then I grilled the bartendress about the menu, specifically about the Philly Cheesesteak because being from east of the Mississippi I have a very high regard for a good cheesesteak. She assured me that it was "cheesy as fu@!" and authentic, too. I ordered it and Boy oh Boy was I pleased. After trying the "cheesesteak" attempts at Steakadelphia and some place in Sellwood I had all but given up on one of my favorite sandwiches out here in No Man's land when it comes to a decent grill. But DANG! Red's has the thin sliced juicy beef, the perfectly grilled onions AND peppers, and a cheese that is so melty it pretty much infuses into the other ingredients. Loved. It. Red's has the best Philly Cheesesteak in town. So good! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to forgo Yelp as a guide for dinner, and just wing it. So, we went down Foster and let fate decide where to take us. It took us to Red's Bar, a place I had passed by many times but never actually had visited. We walked into a dimly lit space, with a pool table, a HUGE flat-screen TV with the bar smack in the middle. The bartender was friendly and welcoming, and the waitress who brought us our food was nice. The food itself was alright, which is why I gave this place only three stars. I ordered their macaroni and cheese which had bacon bits in it. It was good, but it just didn't stand out to me. Another reason I gave this place three stars was due to the atmosphere. I love dive bars. The more dimly lit, the better. But I also like it when the atmosphere comes off as friendly and welcoming, and I just did not feel it. I am in no way trying to come down on this place. It was fine, it just simply did not stand out to me. read more
