This is a quintessential Portland dive bar. 2 cheap beer during happy hour. 1 gringo tacos all day every day . The staff is fire . All around one of my favorite bars in town.

Low light bar, but customer service was amazing

Great local dive bar. Seems to have lots of regulars. Staff is great. Ash the bartender was aw

No fuss, 6 cheese burger…hell ya. After work spot…friendly gals behind the bar. Felt at home! Great neighborhood feel…come as you are. Will be back soon

Great drink pricing for the Portland area. Nothing special or unique on tap beer wise. Skillful bartenders making good cocktails.

Great fun little bar. Down in a cool sunken level and not very flashy from outside. And they really utilize the space well. Oh you can write on the walls with chalk. Great prices , great staff and good drinks and cheap but tasty eats. Try the 1.00 sloppy Joe's or the 2.50 brisket tacos.
