Initially was fine. When I ordered my last drink (vodka & tonic) it seemed there was no alcohol in it. I asked bartender, maybe he accidentally forgot. He said that he knows his job and if he gives me the drink, it should be it. After few more minutes a guard guy offered me to leave the place. Please note, that I didn’t argue with anyone. Finally, two guys were sitting at the table by the exit and were observing this situation. When I was leaving, I heard swears to my back from them. Conclusion: not nice service, not nice environment, not nice people. First time in Portland and that is my experience. Definitely not recommended!

The staff was very friendly, and all around seemed to be a decent area to spend an evening. The crowd was a bit of a mix, but overall not bad. The drinks were reasonable for Portland, and they had a reasonable selection. Honestly I'm going to give it a 4 star for the simple fact that they played the cursed song TGIF, and it wasn't even a Friday, it was a Thursday night. Not that being Friday would justify playing such a horrid song. But with my own personal hatred of that song to the side, it is a good bar for a night out.

Layout/atmosphere *Christmas lights hanging outside and inside; two counter areas with big windows to view intersection of Stark & 8th; seven stools at bar; four taps; Playboy magazine in the vending machine; three TVs; Internet jukebox; pinball machine; complimentary water cooler; tables in back; picnic tables on sidewalk; covered outdoor structure in street Food/drink *Georgetown Brewing Co Johnny Utah Pale Ale [draft] - slightly above average *No food menu (bar snacks)

Been going to this joint for years. In the last 2 years or so, it seems as though the “bridge and tunnel” crowd discovered it. If you love a good dive-bar with chill vibes, go to the The Slammer on week nights, but if you dislike bros, puking sorority girls and loud crappy, trap music, I’d avoid this joint on Friday and Saturday nights. Very affordable drinks.

Julie was our server and was the absolute best. Our drinks were top notch! I recommend the Salty Dog and jello shots! We had a blast making Christmas sweater cookies and laughing with Julie all night! Will be back ASAP and asking for her! Thanks Julie ❤️

Jill the bartender is amazing. The atmosphere is quaint and it's the perfect place to stop for happy hour after working all day. The water bottles on ice for bicycles and pedestrians in a huge bucket out front was over the top and just... Just... It's just stupendous!!!

Local Central Eastside tavern "World Renowned" for it's Christmas Light and Nutcracker displays. Brews, Tavern Eats, Pinball, Skeet ball and, a neighborhood local clientele among the in the know hipsters. Outdoor Patio, Indoor Fun.

Small but amazing! We crashed their gates after a company booze cruise and the one bar tender was able to quickly serve over 40 people for several rounds. My mind was blown when I saw there wasn't even a line for my second drink.

christmas decorations are very nice they have ornaments on the ceiling :). i liked the neighborhood atmosphere. it’s more of a local beer pub!!! will come back. Was like ~$34 for 2 beers and 2 mixed drinks

Wes is the man. I do miss Nick though
