At first you aren't sure where the parking is but it's right behind the building and if that's full the lot next to that is also overflow parking. The bar itself was bigger than I expected with really three main rooms. They have video gambling as well and plenty of TVs to watch on especially if people are there for different sports. We came to watch World Cup. They also have quite a packed house for trivia night. I ordered a happy hour burger and fries for $7 and it came out quickly and was delicious. Really no brainer for $7. I had gotten a Hefe to drink but something was off about it. Not sure what but I didn't like the taste. I'm not sure what brand it was. We had excellent service and all the staff were friendly and kept the place and tables tidy. Seems like a great sports bar that in would go to again. read more

We passed this place many times before, but this is the first time we stopped here, with the intention of having lunch of something CRAB, because I saw a 'sponsored' Ad on Facebook. I thought, we hardly have crab this year, why not! We parked in the back, spotted a stairs going up, we weren't sure where the entrance was, there was no sign or anything. As we got to the top of the stairs, we saw a sign: "Authorize Personnel Only" there were a lot of cigarette butts (where people usually go out for a smoke or break). We went back down, and went around the side, where we spotted 'No Minors" sign on the door. This must be where to get inside! We spotted tables and empty seats by a window, I always prefer the window seats. The first chair I sat on, I started to lean backwards, and realized, there's no back rest. We moved to the next table, and I picked a seat with back rest. I'm more comfortable doing that. Hubby was OK sitting without one. The table was dirty! There was only one waitress and she works at the bar counter too. And she's already running around to accommodate the customers. My order was: Crab & Mushroom Fettucine served with garlic toast. It was so rich with cheese, and gooeey! I thought, the only crab I was getting was those shown on top, but there were more smaller pieces on the bottom, hidden. Same with mushrooms, I could count how many slices, then I keep seeing more. I did saved half for my lunch, the next day. I enjoyed my meal. The bread, with a bit burned on the side. (hidden beside my plate of pasta). Hubby's food: Crab & Shrimp Met Sandwich and Homemade Chips. Both were pretty good. I like his sandwich A LOT! Server was friendly & prompt. He also ordered a side of Clam Chowder. It was so thick & very creamy. The bathroom is something you'd find in a dive bar! There's a window in the women's bathroom, but I couldn't see how close it was to the ground. read more

Great first visit for us last night. My wife and I met her parents for an early dinner before a high school basketball game. We came especially for the last Friday of the month special...the Fresh Razor Clams. The Clams were perfectly breaded and fried. The salad before hand was also excellent. My father-in law had the Oyster Stew which he said was just ok. The accompanying vegetables and potatoes on the plate with the Razor Clams were also done so well. Our server was excellent as well. She was always there for any requests we may have had. We will be back for other specials or just to enjoy good food and drink. read more

Razor Clam lunch delicious! cooked perfectly. Clam Chowder lots of clams..nice flavor...and Scalloped Potatoes very cheesy.. Service good and watched highlights on screen when Seahawks won Super Bowl this year! I'll be back soon. read more

Came here again to try their Prime Rib special and it was a good experience. This is probably the best deal for a prime rib meal in town. The meal includes a prime rib, choice of potato, soup or side salad, and toast. The food quality was decent (for what you pay) and the service was friendly and quick. read more

Hubby and I popped in here for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was really great! The bartender/server was very friendly and attentive. The food was tasty. We split a "Rachael", a Rueben with turkey, homemade thousand island, yummy cheese, and marbled rye bread. We split the sandwich because we also had an order of "Tachos", nachos with tater tots instead of tortilla chips. The sandwich also came with homemade potato chips that were addictive. The Tachos were really surprisingly good. They had Tinga chicken, black olives, tomatoes, green onions, pickled jalapeño, and lots of cheddar cheese. Salsa and Sour cream on the side as well. Nice neighborhood place with lots of different sports to watch all over the place if you're interested. Parking in the back too which makes it easier to pop in. The vodka and soda had a generous amount of vodka in it as well. The overall price was surprisingly affordable too. We'll try to stop in more frequently! read more

We love The Old Barn, especially on Fridays. Everyone is in a "end of the work week mood" looking forward to a weekend with football, basketball, soccer, hockey & other sporting games on several large TVs. Terrific choice of craft beer and excellent mixed drinks, especially Margaritas; thanks Gina! There's trivia games with console's or use your own electronics and new games just put on the lottery machines. We love The Old Barn, especially on Fridays.

I've driven by The Old Barn countless times. St. Patrick's Day last year I decided to order the corned beef dinner special. I got it to go but sort of wished I would have eaten it in the restaurant instead. Lots of screens to watch your favorite sports team play. Now the food ... I was pleasantly impressed with the quality of the food. The corned beef was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. The vegetables cooked with it were absolutely delicious with all the flavors intermingling. I was very impressed with the chefs skills to put out such a wonderful comfort meal . I'll be back . read more

Delicious fresh crab specials, my favorite is the grilled crab & shrimp on sour dough and you get chowder with it! The crab specials only run on the second Friday of every month. I enjoy this place, it's easy for a single woman to feel comfortable in here & I do appreciate that. read more

Huge props for our server Tori, who was brand new and handled the 14 of us like a champ! She got some help from the gal bartender - because the restaurant was full - but mostly helped us all singlehandedly. I have been driving by here for 17 years (on my way home from work) and finally noticed the $14.95 Prime Rib Dinner sign. Hello??? That was that! I was planning a dinner with my foody friends and bringing them all here! Of course I got the $14.95 prime rib dinner. Well done and with the baked potato (instead of smashed) and salad instead of soup. And it was old school marvelous! The potato was even still in foil and we got sides of au jus, sour cream, butter and horseradish! 4 friends - who claim not to be "followers" (WTH?? The prime rib is why we were there!) got the mac & cheese, shrimp Louie salad, chicken sandwiche, and an omelet breakfast! While it all looked great, it wasn't nearly the good deal as the prime rib. The kitchen was very clean (I popped in to ask for a to-go box) which was impressive. The bar is wall-to-wall TV's playing sports (which kept the guys entertained) and they have a decent sized private parking lot behind the restaurant (and away from the busy street) Friday nigh is King Crab legs night so we will definitely be back to try that out! read more

For the last three months I have arrived at 4:30-5:30 for their Razor Clam special. Every time they have run out !!! Is it really that difficult to order more to cover the dinner hour. If the owner is concerned about ordering too many, at this time that's not the issue. Keep up this why of ordering you will lose business. read more

Delicious fried foods. Wings, fries and curds were all part of a meal in which I devoured recently here. Fun atmosphere and worthy of your money! I'll certainly be returning to try a few more things on the menu. read more

I always order the Rachel (I should try something else) but it's just so darn good. If you don't know it's a Rueben but with turkey meat. Also, get the onion rings! I don't know what they use as batter but they are the best around! I wish they'd get more ciders, the one they have is dry. I prefer a sweet and fruity one. Service is always good. read more

The Happy Hour menu is always good. The daily specials are my usually go to. Their burgers are good, made with quality beef.

First time eating here. The cheeseburger was almost child-sized and the clam chowder had bacon but no clams. Not great food, unfortunately. The service was fine. I doubt we will be back. read more

Consistent & Delish! Sunday mornings finding a good restaurant that serves breakfast & lunch that you don't have to wait in like for an hour... this is our spot!! I'm not a breakfast eater so I get an awesome French dip!! TDF - prime rib w/Au Jus Swiss cheese, sautéed onions & mushrooms! The burger is fabulous as is the biscuits & gravy. Service is FABULOUS as well!! Clean & a large menu w/so many choices! read more

Great neighborhood bar with good food, the service has always been great when I've been there. Has video lottery and views of the tv from every seat. Added bonus, kids are allowed until 9pm. read more

Got the crab Louie salad !! Was awesome!! Also love the ambiance of the restaurant. Go to hangout place!! read more

I would recommend following on the instapage or the facegram. They have something for everyone and all on different days. They have crab menu (last Friday) razor clams (first Friday I think) fried chicken (the other Friday's) prime rib (Tuesday). The fried chicken is awesome. Good juicy meat and nice crispy skin. Put some of your own hot sauce on there and boom!! I had the prime rib today. I got takeout and at home I had a lukewarm meal (my fault not theirs) which was amazing. And under $15. I also love their onion rings. They are big and juicy and just awesome bar food. They have both bingo (Monday and Thursday for now) and video crack and all the sports bar staples you want. I think covid made them rethink their space a bit which is good because I wasn't a huge fan of the old setup. Just got a little tight. The owners are awesome people too. I don't need too much convincing to grab some old barn. read more

Happy hour food is an amazing value and the service is great. Fun little neighborhood place that we absolutely recommend!

I feel bad rating 1 star because I love The Old Barn but there's some loser that works nights here that revs the piss out of his car when he leaves every night at 2am. He or She has done this for at least a couple years like clockwork waking up everyone in the apartments across the street. I would be understanding if it was a loud sports car but no. It's some beat up car missing its whole exhaust. I'm tired of being woken up in the middle of the night and so are the hundreds of people living in the surrounding apartments. Edit: Upon calling the business, the worker I talked with tried to claim that there's no houses or apartments nearby. Hahah yeah okay lady, I know you've worked there for years and see all the apartments across the street. Don't play dumb. And why are you immediately so defensive and rude? And no I don't have a video or description of the car leaving because it happens at 2:30am when I'm trying to sleep!.. Lol enjoy the multiple noise complaints read more

Prime rib tuesday for $15 is my favorite and a nice portion and presentation. Good customer service and good food, what more could you want. read more

One of my go to bars! Not too many Rye Whiskey but everything else is superb! Food is awesome, tenders are always there and many games and things they do to entertain patrons! read more

I love their monthly crab day and have been coming regularly with a friend for a few years now. The dishes themselves are tasty, but the best thing is that they don't scrimp on the crab; there's lots of big, meaty leg pieces. Heaven! read more

Checked out the Old Barn recently and took the family for razor clams, which they offer on the last Friday each month. The dinner was really good. Large portions and very affordable. We will be back very soon! read more

I am a regular here. there has been two times now, where two different bartenders have told me told me to be quiet. conversations were never inappropriate AND both times I was talking to my boss... I love this place but as a bartender, I've never told anyone to be quiet. if I was out of line, I get it. talking about construction, I don't get it lol. this is a silent bar and please don't answer your phones here or you'll be asked to leave lol. read more

The law itself (ORS 471.565) makes it illegal to sell alcohol to people who already appear intoxicated. More than once I have seen staff here serve to people who are clearly intoxicated. read more

This place has been around for years. I hadn't been in it recently (the last time prior was when you could still smoke in saloons). So, it was a while. We were looking for a quick stop to meet up to debrief our various days (me and some friends in the hood). We stopped off here and it seemed A OK. I've been here a few times in recent months and they usually have a food special of the day and happy hour food starts around 4:30PM. They have a decidedly older crowd (yep, I'm there too) which is fine by me. It's lower key than some other places around. Sports on the TVs and video games abound. They may have some video poker but I don't really look for that sort of thing so I'm uncertain on that point. They do pretty well with their well drinks and beers. I've tried their food on a couple of occasions and it is standard pub fare but no better or worse than anyone else. All and all a good stop for a quick drink and chat. read more

3.8-4.0 star-ish This review is for the Karaoke Night. From us! The self proclaimed karaoke nerds of the Portland metro area. Karaoke night is on Saturday. It is done in a very small back corner of the tavern. The KJ does a great job balancing sound for such a small space. 5.0 star. The song book is thick and has a good many obscure hits, but were well worn and the pages stuck together. 3.75 star. I like the fact that they do it old school by using slips for song selections. I think that helps keep things moving in a strong, fair rotation. There were only about 5 other singers the night we visited. So we got a good many songs in. I am not sure this is the norm as we went on a night following an outbreak of bad weather. We liked the small space karaoke there. The tavern: Parking is in the back. I can't comment on the food because we didn't order any at the time of our visit. They have a decent beer selection and the pour on mixed drinks is well balanced. The service was fast and very friendly. The decor is dive-y. They have wood paneling covering the walls. I am not a fan of the high seating aka the pub tables and stools/chairs. This makes up about 90% of the seating choices in this tavern. These are not very comfy and they just don't seem safe IMO. Everything seemed clean. The bathrooms need updated and expanded with more stalls. The majority of patrons were ages 22-32 with just a couple folks in their mid 50's. Closer to midnight hour is when the young obnoxious costumed provocative needy center of attention types filed in.... and we filed out. The prices were fair. We may visit again. I just wish that they had a wider age range of demographic. We will make a note to come early and leave early to avoid the drama. read more

How many times have you driven by this place and wondered what it was like inside? Me? At least 250 times. Finally! I went inside with 2 friends to see what it was like. It was a dive bar without the greasy old men undressing you with their eyes. It was quite a young crowd actually. ++ It was crowded because of trivia night but still offered up a place to sit. The wait staff was awesome. For as busy as it was, the cocktail waitress was on it! A couple of times the bartender himself came over to ask us if we needed anything else and was quite the character too. The drinks were stiff-ish, nice menu selection but chose the mini corn dogs- fried to perfection! My friend had a club sandwich with fries and after stealing a bite.. that was good too! I will return, possibly even this afternoon! read more

Um no way!!! Dirty dive bar with a snotty attitude and they told me they had red bull and they gave me rock star. It tastes terrible and two drinks were $23!! The bartender was rude and cold to me and my husband, while back slapping other, 'regulars'. It kinda felt belittling. Parking is behind the bar and you have to walk up a hill, in my case, while freezing and you get to see a bunch of less than eye pleasing, back door stuff including a falling down looking staircase. Maybe the locals have been coming here so long they don't need new customers. All I know is I will NEVER EVER be back... I live close, I found another bar three exits down, they make you feel like a regular the first time you visit. Don't waste your time going here. read more

I've been searching around the SW Multnomah area for a good local bar. I've had some less than stellar experiences at other bars near the Village so it was time to listen to Yelp and check out The Old Barn. My first experience was on a Saturday for some college football. As far as sports bars go, The Old Barn has a great variety of TVs and I enjoyed the atmosphere. They have some good happy hour bar food options for $3.95 and I was stoked that their happy hour went to 6:30pm with a good selection of micro brews and cheap PBR. What brought me back was their Tuesday prime rib special. It didn't disappoint. $9.95 gets you soup or salad, a delicious piece of prime rib and choice of potato with garlic toast. I would have liked some sort of vegetable with my meal besides the small salad, but overall I've enjoyed what I've eaten at The Old Barn. The service there has been really top notch and friendly. I felt very welcomed even through it was my first time(s) hanging out there. That above anything else will bring me back for another visit. read more

The Old Barn - Prime rib - Sports Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Since I moved in across the street, the OB - for better or for worse - has become like my own personal rec room/man cave (although my girlfriend enjoys it quite a bit too). It's a great neighborhood (some might say dive) bar, though I'd say it takes a visit or two or three to really start to appreciate it and get to know the staff. It's actually a sneaky good sports bar with full DirecTV NFL package and and almost every game you'd want to watch. There's enough TVs for everyone to see what they want (even if they're not all the absolute best picture quality). A vocal group of Pittsburg Steelers fans are usually in the house on Sundays, but I've never had a problem getting my team's game on. I think the food is pretty solid and relatively inexpensive. Again, this is a neighborhood joint that's not going to attract clientele from all over Portland because of its gastropub reputation, but as far as solid, fill ya up, bar food goes I'm always verys satisfied. They also seem to be pretty confident in their seafood menu as well and do a razor clam special on the last Friday of each month (which I keep missing!). The mixed drinks are not weak, there's jello shots if you feel like steppin' it up a notch, and a solid selection of beers on tap. I'll just say that if you want to do what most people come to blue collar neighborhood bars to do, you'll enjoy yourself at the OB. I don't smoke, but most smokers seem to like their covered, heated smoking patio, which I think has a little TV on it as well. Oh and the karaoke nights (Saturday primarily) can get pretty fun the few times I've stuck around that long. Great people watching all in all too! The only thing you'll wanna watch out for is the parking lot in the back, which takes a little care when you exit as it's a little cramped. Since I'm usually on foot, I rarely have to worry about that, but you can always park next door at the Barbur Transit Center if you want an easier way out. read more

I have read through a lot of the negative reviews on here and before I get to my feelings about The Old Barn, I have to address these ludicrous complaints. One person gave this place one star, because she had to walk uphill from the parking, don't be lazy. Next up, another person complained about not receiving her onion rings, in the review she states she realized this the NEXT DAY, lets move on shall we. Most of the complaints regarding the Old Barn are laughable and stem from what appears to be a common trait among Americans, laziness. Sitting around and complaining you didn't get silverware is easily fixable by getting up. As for not receiving food you paid for and realizing the next day, that is just straight up your fault. What I am trying to say is do not let the few instances of laziness, pettiness and self-entitlement deter you from trying out a nice local dive bar. I come here every other week for Last Call trivia and always leave satisfied. Our waitress is fantastic, and its easy to get her attention, all you got to do is saying, hi excuse me, and you would be surprised at the results. Also try to stop and remember that the world does not revolve around you, as typically when I am there she is the only one serving, busing and waiting on tables so patience is encouraged. In the end, this a dive bar and you get what you pay for. Is the food gourmet? I don't know, although I am sure the $12 seafood platter was plucked from the ocean out back, just for the 1 starers. Check out the Old Barn, have a great time, experience the locals while enjoying some guilty pleasure food. Wide selection of drinks and an always revolving array of events make this a fun neighborhood spot for any day of the week. read more

the bartender is racist and disrespectful. the bartender asked if my best friend could move from the bar while on the phone and my friend did just that and then they asked her to move to the corner. Her drinks were complete trash and she's burnt, meaning ugly so there literally no reason to visit this place . ‍ read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. TOP NOTCH EVERYTHING. naysayers, The vibe of this fantastic place comes from human beings. The food is exceptional. The staff is on they're game 100%. The customers respect this awesome experience. And no one twisted your arm. You always give a restaurant/Bar 3 try's. And you always put yourself in they're shoes.

Went to the old barn with my great grandson and has been for breakfast. Tina was a amazing as our server. Great grandson was very happy with his cheeseburger and fries. Husband was very very happy with his chicken fried steak and eggs. I had a eggs over easy with pancakes and bacon everything was cooked just right. Enjoyed our self until a family came in with the screaming little girl. Mother kept saying oh yes it's her naptime in time to eat. Hello stupid people keep your screaming kid at home when they're hungry and feed them there. Other than that we had and enjoy your full-time and appreciated the attentiveness of the staff. read more

Razor clams are outstanding! Highly recommend the Italian sandwich. Great food and people

Oh yey! They have Last Call USA trivias here, on Tuesday at 7:30 & Wednesday at 8:00. It was fun and will get your brain working. The bar itself, I have to say...it's pretty cozy. It's your standard neighborhood bar with potent drinks. PBR $2, Jello Shots $1, and Jolly Rancher $5.75. Their food menu looks pretty good with your standard bar fare and non standard bar fare such as homemade Pizza which they claim the best in town. We will be back for more trivias maybe we will try some food then. It's so cool to find a trivia bar in our neighborhood, now I just need to practice my trivia skill so I can win. read more
