ABIDE (FKA The Big L) - Permanently Closed

Great small bar with eclectic vibe. Get a white Russian and abide. After that roll for one of the 18 beverages on tap. Not a big food selection, but aren't you there just enjoying your coffee? The rug really brings the place together. Business papers optional.

Phenomenal laid back vibe with hip funky music in various styles. The bartender Wes is a phenomenal mixologist creating the most fab one of a kind drinks. Food is out of this world with flavorful veggie and vegan options!!! Yes!! Staff was beyond compare. And the restrooms were super clean ans spacious. I’ll be back later this week for more. Free Live music 🎶 jams Sun-Wed with outstanding local musicians! Come out and have a sip and a snack here! You’ll be craving more! Outside summer seating.

Went here to watch “Computer Room” perform. Ordered some fruity drink which was delicious and had a pbr. The bartender was friendly and patient, even provided ear plugs for the show as the venue itself in the next room is small and cozy so gets pretty loud in there. Ambience is chill and you can take your drinks outside to sit on the patio.

I went on Sunday while the have live music. (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday | 7pm-12am) Local musicians come sign up to play their instrument or sing. Then they get put together to freestyle. It's is both incredible and sometimes hard to sit through. I have been in several times and thier main bar usually has a rad bartender playing 2000's hip-hop/R&B. My only critique is atmospheric, hoping for better mood lighting in the main bar.

My partner and I stopped in here on a whim, as we're both big fans of the Big Lebowski movie. We were not disappointed! We ended up going two more times before we left Portland. The bartender was very knowledgeable on all of the beers (I believe there were 18 on tap), and helped give us some great recommendations. The decor is very cute: neat, smart and cozy. They offer two sizes of growlers, with rotating and themed designs. I was really impressed by the staff, our bartender was always busy cleaning and prepping, but also very attentive.

This place the bartender didn't even know how to make a Cadillac margarita or any of the other drinks I mentioned to him. The bartender had to make the drink and it was horrible. It was way too watered down and the next one was just disgusting. Keep your money there's bars right around the corner that are much better.

I know nothing of the food. But I do love their menu and ambiance. Friendly staff, intimate quaint environment. Just a perfect spot for a quick pint and cocktail. 🥂

Themed after the film "The Big Lebowski" with Jeff Bridges (you can even buy "the dude's sweater" here!). This is a great neighborhood bar with great cocktails, good beers, ok wines, and some food. They have music regularly. The staff are excellent. It's just a super little spot.
