This place is for the queers! Music is a jam, trans flag in the fountain, coolest people at the bar itself. Here for Highball week. The Frito claims to be Portlands best, but it could compete on the world stage. This place could diplomatically solve World peace and im not saying that because of the drinks. Service is pretty stranded but it was memorial day. Go. It's worth it. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and bite before a meeting elsewhere. Solid service and great food. This was my first time in, but I'll definitely be back. Frito pie was #chefskiss read more

Have been here several times for cocktails recently. The Margaritas are extremely good!!! Bar tenders are unfailingly friendly. Have had some appetizers and the portions were generous and well prepared. A very good Manhattan too! Will be going back again and again. read more

Decided to check out their happy hour (til 6pm). For HH, they have $1 off beers & house cocktails and a handful of food items. You order from the bar and they'll deliver the food to your table. Lots of choices to sit: indoor which is air conditioned and there are tons of outdoor tables outside. The front, the side (smoking area) and the back covered patio with overhead fans or heater and a fire pit. I'm not sure if the back patio is smoking or not, I thought it wasn't (since I didn't see ashtrays like I do for the puddle tables on the side), but I saw people smoking at the fire pit area which was wafting into my table - the only downside sitting here. We decided to try the fried Brussels sprouts and poutine. The Brussels sprouts were yummy because of the bed of sauce it sits on. The "fries" for the poutine are big and spiral - don't see these kind of fries often - it's like if jojos and curly fries had children. When they're fresh, it's crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside - I'm a fan. The poutine treatment is just ok - some gravy with bacon bits and some kind of cheese that could be more meaty. If you don't eat it fast, the fries get soggy because of the gravy. So I think next time I'll just get their regular fries. read more

I came on a Tuesday evening and it had a lively vibe. I met up with friends before an event we were planning on attending. Street parking, but I lucked out with one around the corner. My friends had snagged seating on the back patio. I went inside to figure out what I wanted to order. I was going to order hummus plate, but they were out. So I asked the bartender what they had that was vegan foodwise, he recommended the brussel sprouts. I got that. It was good. Later I looked at the menu and it was listed as vegetarian. So I am not sure if there was dairy or not. There didn't seem to be much in vegan offerings. read more

Great vibes. Cozy inside and outside with dimly lit lights and a fireplace. Food all looked amazing and fresh, especially their sandwiches and fries. Definitely will be coming back to try those. Drinks were also delicious and reasonably priced. This spot was packed even on a rainy cold night so it must be a blast in the summer. read more

The Rambler - Poutine - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We got the nachos, poutine, and a couple of drinks. The staff and location were pretty cool. Star Wars and other weird art on the wall. Chill social bar vibe. The nachos were decent but not spectacular. The poutine was too salty and didn't have cheese curds. They used a light shredded cheese that didn't hand any impact on the flavor. But the potatoes were fire. I would recommend just getting their toranado fries because they slapped. read more

Really solid burger and fries at this place. Super expensive, but still solid. Not much for seating if the weather isn't great, but the fire tables help. Didn't love their old fashioned, but will switch it up for a different cocktail next time. Overall solid place any time we drop in. read more

Great service! Went on a Friday night with a group of about 6. It was easy to find seating inside, music wasn't too loud and we enjoyed our time there. We enjoyed their $2.50 Jell-O shots! We ordered Brussels spouts, burgers, and fish tacos. I really enjoyed the brussel sprouts with little raisins and a sweet(ish) creamy sauce that paired well with the vinaigrette seasoning and was a little different than your run of the mill fried brussel sprout appetizer. Other than that we enjoyed the service staff being accommodating and friendly. I would go back and feel comfortable with a group there. read more

My family and I visited The Rambler to watch the Philadelphia Eagles Game and it was great. My parents enjoyed their drinks and the food was very good. The outdoor area in the back was nice. Parking was a bit difficult to find in the area. The food that we got was Tornado Potatoes, a quesadilla, and two orders of fish tacos. Tornado potato's were seasoned well and very tasty. The fish tacos were delicious. The tortillas and fish that they used were good. The quesadilla was even better. The service was good as well. I'll be revisiting this restaurant soon. read more

We're from out of town and always make sure to stop here. We've ordered almost everything on the menu and it's all fantastic. The staff is very helpful and it's got a very cool vibe. Very quick service, and very friendly to our adorable little dog. Nice people good food. read more

the grilled cheese and tomato bisque was good, the place looks so home-y and cozy. ordering through the phone, we learned that the menu was outdated and a bunch of the stuff wasn't available we picked up the food to go (and did not order alcohol). security thought we were minors and asked us to leave while we were picking up our food which is understandable cause nobody wants to get in trouble with the state read more

Got the fried chicken sandwich with a handful of broken/stale lays potato chips for 15 dollars. So its about 3 dollars per bite. This place is fine if you are into wasting money, sub par stuff, and leaving hungry. read more

Nice unassuming atmosphere with a pleasant covered and heated outside area and seating around a fire pit in the front. They serve up decent cocktails and an array of beers and ciders at reasonable prices. Went on a Tuesday for Trivia Night which was quite fun. read more

Was charged $12 for a margarita with well tequila. Drink was weak so I asked for a double and was charged $24 for a margarita with well tequila. Decent place with shady airport bar like pricing. There's so many better options on Mississippi read more

Sultry, soulful country music will assail your ears as you ascend the steps of this rustic house converted into a cozy country pub. After placing your order at the bar from behind a partition, grab your seat either on the front veranda, or make your way to the back patio, which looks like it belongs in a sushi restaurant. Framed by bamboo, with festoon lighting dangling from rafters overhead, we chuckled a little at the clash of cultural motifs, but enjoyed our beverages in the cool, breezy shade, as the twang of cowboy crooners (a little loud) overhead serenaded us. My whiskey sour (sans egg white) definitely felt like the sort of drink you'd order when "rambling" up to the bar, while my wife's prickly pear blended margarita matched the pseudo-asian aesthetic of the back porch, despite being a tequila drink: the combination had a distinctly east-asian flavor, crisp, sharp and sweet, and gone too fast. The Rambler may be a country bar with an identity crisis, but I mean that in the best way possible. Very Portland! read more

On a street that has some really good bars ,we have been coming back to Rambler time and again for years and there are some good reasons for that. This bar is setup in a 1920's bungalow, and hence has the charm of a family home but all the while delivering very well on the drinks and food. The Toronado Potatoes are something we always get -crispy ,deep fried goodness or if you really want to indulge get the Rambler poutine because what's better than deep fried potato is deep fried potatoes drenched in cheese . The fried chicken sandwich and Pulled pork sandwich are also pretty good. The cocktail menu is limited however the ones on there are pretty well made. Good selection of beers both draft and Can . They have a patio out front and one at the back and are a dog-friendly establishment. As far as I remember you need to order at the bar which gets slightly inconvenient on a busy night , when you might have to leave a good conversation and stand in line for a long amount of time but other than that everything is pretty much on point. read more

Cute little bar with great ambiance, staff was super friendly and welcoming. Ordered the chicken strips with tater fries which were super delicious. I'm from LA and have had my share of Smash Burgers so naturally had to try their version. It was definitely different from what I've had but still pretty good. They have a selection of draft and canned beers and plenty of outdoor patio area. Oh and pet friendly ! read more

Solid place to have a drink on Mississippi. If you can get one of the fire pit spots out front, it's also great people watching. Solid drinks and food choices.

If had could eat one last meal before I kick the can I think I would choose the Ramber's Brussels sprouts. That might sound weird because really choosing a veggie as your last meal sounds ridiculous, but they are THAT good. 10/10 recommend this place and the life changing Brussels. Also, there is a bar tender with curly red hair, did not catch her name. She is incredible. She was bouncing around serving people in record speed. We asked her if she plays Overcooked because she was so fast and she responded with "that game is my shit!" Love her! Lol Ordered the Squidward and it was awesome but to be honest the vibes, Brussels, and friendly staff are what really do it for me :D read more

Definitely will be back and definitely Check it out if you haven't. read more
