Burgers, cocktails, and movies on a large patio


























"A pre-show burger and beer at Bar Bar is a longstanding tradition when visiting the adjacent venue Mississippi Studios. It is, after all, a fantastic patio: Movies play, projected on the wall, while musicians and fans sit at picnic tables, dip toasted ravioli in house-made marinara, and nurse IPAs. The bar’s burger is a classic, and can be done standard or plussed-up with onion rings, barbecue sauce, and an egg." - Eater Staff

"It’s hard not to include every single bar on Mississippi for this map, considering all of the top-tier patios along that street; however, Bar Bar’s is well worth a mention, thanks to its serious burgers, toasted raviolis, and black-and-white movies projected on the wall of the building next door. Sharing a space with Mississippi Studios, Bar Bar’s patio is often packed before or after shows — and on certain nights, you might spot an opener grabbing a burger after the encore." - Nathan Williams

"If you're a budget-conscious 21-plus host, I suggest reserving Bar Bar on Mississippi's secret garden and back patio for around $200–$300; their food-and-drink minimum is about $500, which makes it a casual, affordable option (and guests can easily chip in for things like fried pickles)." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"And for post-dinner drinks, the back porches at Bar Bar provide a true taste of rustic Portland homeyness." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
