Barrel Room

I went and saw a poetry slam event here with my girlfriend last week. The chicken sandwich was really good. The tater tots are not so good. The hamburger has a patty that is too small, but it tasted good still. Had onion rings that were still doughy. The drinks that were associated with the poetry slam event were very yummy and the atmosphere was really good.

One of my favorite spots in Portland. Don't know if they still do it, but in the indoor section, they used to have a piano duel, like 2 pianos front to front challenging each other and doing versions of popular and classic songs, sometimes accompanied by a guy in the middle, with a guitar. Mic used to go around, sometimes getting to the girl serving at the bar, that has this great voice. I used to go like in 2010 and i remember it was a lot of fun. Some nights they have this "neighborhood party" at the patio, serving shots and grilling some hot dogs and burgers. Summers are great, the patio turns into a water party. Perfect cool vibe.

Incredible talent on the stage with dueling pianos, singers, guitars and drums. Tonight was Quinn and Aleksey on pianos with many others who work at the bar adding to the high energy. There are not many musicians out there who have the skill to tackle singing and playing songs ranging from the 60s to present day. An excellent evening worth a visit if you are in town and regularly if you live here. Extra. You can buy your entry online or at the door. Bring cash for tips (they deserve them). If you are not from the States having cash is important for the tips as we do not have Venmo.

This is the spot for jams; if you’re musically inclined at all there’s a live jam every Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday! Bring some soul, and leave your burdens at the gate. Great energy, loving staff, and plenty of room on stage for newcomers! TIP YOUR BARTENDERS 😘

Went for live music. A bit too loud to enjoy. $15 cover and spendy drinks. Meh. Probably won't be back.

Band live music and you can sign up for play. Some of them really good. I am not American therefore I can't say much about this concept. Dark and laud music. Lot of guitar around for decoration. Bartender lady very helpful. They seemed keeping local tredition.

Went for the dueling pianos and they were amazing musicians! The only downside was the volume started fine but by the end of the night it was very loud, ears felt like I had been to a concert.

Order drinks and fries and sing your heart out to karaoke and dueling pianos. I have never been so excited to give a 5 star review, but this place is really special for an inclusive and joyous night of singalongs and musical mayhem.

We crawled in here on a whim and left with core memories. The bar is typically not open during the day, but they were open for St. Patrick's Day. It was completely empty, but we decided to go in because everywhere else was crazy busy and/or had a cover. Our group ordered shots with Jimmy, the bartender, and he offered us ski shots! He was very kind and had good energy. Then while we were hanging out by the stage another employee asked if we wanted to do karaoke. Of course we couldn't pass it up. Was it prerecorded instrumental music? Nope. These guys both picked up instruments and started playing--such talent! The vibes were high and everyone was having a good time. I wish we could have stayed longer, but we had a flight to catch. Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to stop by and pay them a visit.

Was great time, decent tots and fried chicken burger, tasty drinks. The two performers really had us all singing and participating, while the owners even made an appearance as a band for a few songs. Worth going!

What a fun night watching Dueling Pianos! The piano players/singers were awesome on their own but they brought out a drummer to take things to the next level. Then added guitar players as well! A very entertaining and high energy show.

If I could rate this place as a zero, I would. We arrived and Isabella the hostess told us to sit wherever we wanted. As long as there was not a reserved sign and so we sat down and then about 20 minutes later she came up and was absolutely rude to us questioning us about where were sitting and went on to say they had a 6 top that had a reservation there. We kindly said ok we can move, but in the end, the manager told us to stay. I was thrown off by how she spoke to us. But I let it go because I figured she's new and she probably made a mistake and I get the stress of that. We had fantastic exchanges with our other bartender. I cannot recall his name, but he was super nice and attentive and mage the rest of the experience so great. We went to close out with him and unfortunately there is a line and so once again, Isabella helped us when she cannot figure out what our tab was under, we explained it to her and she argued. Our original bartender clarified and said that in fact that was what the tab was under and she must of missed it. So then she found it and said sorry, I didn't see it and throug our debit card at us like literally threw it and walked away. We ended up giving the other bartender $20 in cash. We walked outside and saw the owner and we asked if he was the owner and he said I might be. We explained to him the situation, and he laughed at us. We said that we had nothing but great service until we ran into her and that he may want to train his staff as far as customer service goes. We own 2 businesses and we know the customer service is huge! We kindly brought this to his attention and he laughed said byyyeee!!! We are not one to complain about most things. But when it comes to customer service and a shred of respect I do tend to say something. This was our 10 year wedding anniversary and honestly the way she treated us and then more so the owner treated us was absolutely disappointing .
