Dixie Tavern

Dixie Tavern located in seedy Chinatown is a popular spot for bar crawlers, misfits and dabblers alike. The whole area is blocked to traffic on Friday and Saturday nights as there are multiple bars a stones throw away from one another. If you like music, people, dancing, greasy bar food and or alcoholic bevvies, neon lights- you'll get all that & even more than you bargained for if you pay Dixie a visit this weekend... Oh and, If you're a female, bring a buddy and plan to take an Uber or a Lyft home for sure!

I come here with a group of my friends every Thursday for line dancing. The staff is amazing and kind. Reasonably priced food and drinks. The instructors are amazing. All in all a fantastic place to unwind after the work week!

This is an awesome club to check out if you like music and meeting people. They put on a sweet dance show. Towards the end of the night, the floor was full of people dancing. It’s located in a great spot. I can’t wait to go back. The service was awesome!

Hosted a bar crawl meetup with Dixie’s as our 2nd stop since I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and wow. Had 14 people with us in total, Our group noticed a guy that kept taking pictures of women’s chests and trying to upskirt. We told the guy to knock it off after several of us noticed him successfully grab chest shots of the ladies with us. Guy and his friends start calling the 1 black guy in our group the you know what word and trying to get us to fight them. We went to get security, they go talk to the guy, chat for a minute. Then kicked half of our party out for “being rude” mostly the impacted ladies and our understandably irate black friend. Not even at a moral level, economically how do you justify losing 10+ people to a group of 3 getting in our face and trying to fight us over not wanting them to blatantly harass women and black people. Just an overall joke for security staff, it used to be so much better at kicking out scum but now just supports it.

Absolutely amazing! Best vibes! Great people! We got to taste free tequila!!

We came here for burger week accidentally, and were treated to the absolute sweetest staff and service the whole way through. They had a rubber ducky night? Very cute- but even cuter they just kept bringing us more because we told them about how our car had been recently robbed of our rubber ducky collection. By the time we left, server Elizabeth had gotten us drinks, incredibly perfect burgers, and we had made friends with Dan and Nicky who are truly the heart and soul of Portland- so kind and genuine- their warmth radiates and they truly made the experience so welcoming and fun! They have made lifelong customers. Please enjoy this true gem of pdx friends!!

Stopped in here on a whim to get a quick drink. It was empty except for a few probably regulars. It's not my vibe at all but I just wanted a drink. The bartender didn't seem interested in being there but more so in gossip with the other worker and patron. We ordered a drink the bartender recommended and it was nasty. Very weak and cheap booze. They also used warm boxed juice as the mixer. It was 27 bucks for 2 shitty drinks in dive bar. Definitely skip this place.

Melissa was one the sweetest bartenders who served us and was very generous and always smiling 😍 loved how hard she was working with everything happening in the bar 🫣 Well it was karaoke night and so people get drunk on a Sunday and sing songs they can't sing lol. It could use a pool table or darts 🤩 I had the smash burger and it was definitely smashing 🙏I highly recommend it ! Go try it you won't be disappointed.. It was my final stop before I left Portland and I was sooooo satisfied 🙂

Been coming here to dance since 7/2010. Will continue to come here until I can't dance anymore. Not every time is a great Dj, but the bartenders are always top level. Super regret for not trying to work there on my 20's. Now I don't have the time or energy . Ps make me forever VIP so I don't need to pay cover... I don't mind paying drinks, I hate paying cover/entry.

Good space and also nice fan! I especially appreciate this since it is summer and it is humid and sticky Portland. Drinks are reasonably priced, BUT my downfall for Dixie's is that the music is mid and that ultimately sets the vibe. I do like that fact that they display the music videos, but the music just isn't it. SORRY

Good Coyote Ugly style bar with lively atmosphere and music on the weekends. Plenty of attractive girls though many on the young side and dancing as well.

First off, don't go here. A woman recently went missing from this location. It's *alleged* that staff had her wait till closing to fill out an application. They were performative enough to post the missing poster on their Instagram, but oddly turned off comments, which leads me to believe these allegations, and that Dixie Tavern was absolutely complicit in her disappearance. My personal experience with this location is a scam speed-dating event I had attended where they had like 15 guys, and 3 girls standing in who probably worked for the organization. It's very unethical for Dixie to allow this scam business to operate in their space for the right amount of money. Also the food is trash.

Came to Dixie's for a friend's birthday this past weekend and had a pretty good time. We came just in time for their Santa hat party, which was fun. I liked the bartenders and the drinks here, two drinks for $15 isn't a terrible price and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the drinks. The music was definitely iffy, it was the same kind of music you would find in a college bar. Other than that, this place had a fun ambiance and atmosphere, and I appreciated how clean the bathrooms were. They do charge a $15 cover fee to get in, which I think is a little high for this place. Maybe I'm just used to cheaper cover fees, but I don't know if this place is worth $15 to get in on top of getting drinks, etc. Overall, this place was a fun time, just a little expensive once everything was added up.

Visited Dixie on a trip. Sunday night was a little slow but that was the vibe I needed. There were some regulars and visitors. Karaoke was going and was decent as karaoke can be. Marissa was my bartender. She was extremely nice and attentive. She chatted with me and was engaging. I recommend going here for a break from the day to day. Cheers!

Some of my favorite memories of hanging out with friends, drinking, dancing and partying happened here at Dixie's. This is unusual, as I have an intense dislike for both country music and hip hop, and this *country-themed* bar, that plays almost nothing *but* hip hop (wut?), and yet, here I have come, over and over, for years now, usually in the company of a bevy of gorgeous women. At this point, my loyalty to Dixie is likely just a mild form of Stockholm Syndrome. But that's not to say it doesn't have it's perks. First off, for a club as densely packed as Dixie tends to be, their service is phenomenal. I'm not referring to the attractive women in cut-off shorts and cleavage-bearing cut T-shirts (although I could be), but they manage to mix and serve cocktails at unheard of speeds, and crank food out of the kitchen faster than several professional restaurants that I hold in high regard. Whoever manages this place knows what the hell he/she is doing, and trains/picks their employees well. Things of which to be aware: * Come after 10pm and you *will* pay a cover. (Concerning this, though, one positive I can say is that I've never experienced any gate-keeping just for being male, like some other clubs do). * About once an hour or so, the (all-female) bartenders will get up on the bar and dance for the duration of a short song. * The coat check is unmanned far more than it is staffed, regardless of season or weather conditions. * Cocktails are surprisingly, reasonably priced (and sizeable) considering they have a captive audience. I suspect the cover takes the edge off and helps keep them competitive. * Lots of drunk "dude bros" and their ilk on weekend nights, but as a whole, their patrons are a step above those crammed into Dirty across the street (and similar dives). If you're going to come to Dixie (and it sounds like I am recommending it!), do yourself a favor: come early, and come prepared. The experience is not exactly the one that is advertised, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It must not be, because I keep coming back. Nostalgia is one helluva drug, it seems!

UNSAFE PLACE FOR TRANS PEOPLE!!!!!! I am a trans man & was reported to security for using the men's restroom. I was confronted by a security guard, asking me to speak to him outside. I said no. Whatever it was he needed to say to me he needs to say it in an open space. I was told that I cannot use the men's restroom. (If it matters, I was wearing masculine clothing, with a slight amount of makeup on, but overall masc presenting). Once I explained that I am a man, a trans man, he says "DOESN'T MATTER. YOU ARE A FEMALE, YOU USE THE GIRLS RESTROOM. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE COME SPEAK TO OUR MANAGER." I refused to speak to him any further and ended up leaving at my own will. Oregon has anti-discrimination laws that allow people to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity. It is my legal right. He needs to be fired. If you're LGBTQ please protect yourself & do not come here.

My friends and I stopped by here last night Sunday, July 28th after the soccer game. Unfortunately we had a very bad experience and rather discriminating. Upon arrival it was just us and a few other people in the bar. My friends ordered drinks and I got a water. It was karaoke night and more people started arriving. All genres were being played, all different songs were being played and we were having a great time singing and dancing along. My group was sitting at a table and although this doesn't matter we were the only Latinos in the bar at the time. We then asked to karaoke to a song by Drake and the DJ told us "nobody likes that music in here" mind you, there were plenty of different music playing, also it is karaoke so we thought it was what we liked? Anyways, we kind of laughed it off and let it slide. Awhile later we approached again and asked for another Drake song and she then "added it to her Que" but did not take our names like she was with everyone else to call up when it was our turn. We waited well over a few songs(noticing many people who were coming in after us singing before us) until we nicely asked "how many more songs until our song?" she told us "4 more songs!" Fast forward quite awhile later she rudely comes up to our table, after practically the bar has cleared and she can see none of us is up and dancing anymore, "which one of you are singing" obviously this rubbed us all the wrong way and we immediately felt wrong about it. 1. Why was she calling everyone else up but she came up to our table? 2. Why did we put in our song in the very beginning of the night but it's just now getting played? 3. Why did she come up so rude towards us when we have been nice the entire night? She then went and got her security to escort us out, which we had no problem leaving as we were on our way out anyways with how rude she was to us. One of her security was very nice and understand, again unfortunately I did not grab anyone name. Her other security guy put his hands on a female in our group more than one time which is unacceptable as we were not being hostile or touching them in any way shape or form. All in all, it was very disappointing how we were treated rather it was because of the music we had asked for, or the way we looked. Because I guarantee you it was not because we were not tipping well or being disrespectful to them because up until the very end we tipped on every drink we got and were nice with every interaction we had. We are not from the Portland area so it was sad this was the interaction we had here.

Bartenders are really sweet, but beware the AC IS OUT. They said it's been out for like a month, and it was horribly hot inside. Only stayed for one drink and left. What a bummer since they charged a cover!

Taking temperatures and keeping the cliental distanced are a priority. The beer is cold and the service is very friendly. The bar staff even performed a boot scootin piece on top of the bar. I had the beef sliders. Well prepared. I think they might have been missing a sauce but they were still great. Fries were smoking hot. Great time.

It's a cool bar. Good music and delicious drinks. But I came here the day before Christmas Eve and ordered some drinks with my friends. The bartender made us some really good drinks and we left her a tip. We came back up a little later and ordered our 2nd drink, bartender said she needed to see everyone getting a drink to determine if we were intoxicated or not, so my friend went to grab our other friend to bring to the bar. Bartender got really mad about that and said she was the bartender and to stop doing her job.. literally did what she asked of us. She was being really rude after that telling my friend to go sit down and get away from her. So I did not leave her a tip that time cause she was rude. She then proceeded to come to my table and yell at me that I didn't give her a tip and be rude to my entire table. I work at a bar and that is absolutely not okay to yell at the customers for not leaving a tip or even say anything about the tip. Your tip is based on service and hers was not good that time around. UPDATE: she tipped her self on my tab as well as my friends tabs.!!! Do not come here!!! Check y'all bank statements!!!

Best bar in Portland hands down! So happy to see this place back open fully after COVID. Great staff and it's the best place to go on a Saturday night.

Let's have fun! Sing Sing Sing! Mary is my favorite! Her voice is basically that angel falling from the sky!

Visited Dixie Tavern last night and wasn't very impressed. Got there at 9:30pm and had to wait 45 min in line in the cold to go inside. (The place was at max capacity so that's why). We paid $20 cover to get in for NYE. The girls working the cover booth and the security guy were very nice. Once I got in I was not impressed though! It felt like all the popular losers from high school that didnt amount to anything were there. I am 29 and I felt like the oldest person at Dixie. Everyone looked to be 21-26 and there wasn't a good mix of people. I felt too high caliber for the people at this establishment that night. I won't be going back. If you're pretty, young, and dumb this may be the place for you

I would absolutely give this place ZERO stars if I could. We waited in line for 1.5 hours and watched 40 people leave the place while we waited in line as they chose people who entered the fast pass, VIP line without a wait. They simply only knew the bouncers and were let in- completely unbelievable and terrible customer service. This is a horrible way to treat hs timers and leave them stranded out in the cold, wet rain and still charge them $20+ dollars. CAMERON the bouncer is the most biased, arrogant, selfish security guard. He is power tripping over his position and abusing it. He will let any girl in who hugs him. Would never recommend this place or come again. Terrible waste of a night!

Oscar and Trevor were great security. I had a bag to check and they kept their eyes on it. They were friendly and polite through every exchange. Great employees and a wonderful Portland experience!!

Honestly very disappointing experience and I didn't even get inside. Stood outside in the for 30 min and watched as the bouncers let multiple groups bribe their way in and not have to stand line. I used to go to Dixie all the time, but after that experience I don't think I will be. Security that takes bribes, doesn't seem very "secure" to me. Brought it up to the short bouncer with long black hair and the taller guy with a short pony and all they had to say was "thanks bro". Terrible customer service.

Favorite spot when going to Portland: Good music Good drinks Amazing bartenders that remember you even from years ago... Ambiance is wonderful... security is on point.... Love this place for a might out in Portland:)

Security is a joke here. Seems like they just hired some randos off the street that have zero experience. Some of the bartenders have real attitudes too, super rude right off the bat. Guess the pandemic really forced this place to hire from bottom of the barrel. Smh

My friend and I were just walking about downtown without a single purpose in mind. We just so happened upon this place out of per happenstance. We walk in and the bartender treats us like we've returned to a place that we've called home for our entire lives. We felt so at home and then the owner of the bar approaches. He talks to us like family, no hint of type of artificial customer flattery. He spoke to us with organic human respect that comes with a wise understanding of the human experience. And now we have been here for only a couple hours, but we cannot help but feel like this entire experience has been tailored for specifically for ourselves. I have never felt so welcomed and accepted in any other type of place before. The Dixie has been supernaturally respectful and welcoming no other bar or public house has exceeded my expectations to this ungodly level

It wasn't horrible but it was awful. The music is literally a YouTube playlist of random pop and country songs from the 2000's and then random 90's rap (good songs but now to the image of all the female patrons thrusting like chickens and repeatedly doing the bend & snap) Nearly every man looked like a college or grad student who was there just to watch the female bartenders do their late evening show. Didn't even bother with drinks but maybe I should have well before entering the establishment to get a even a little enjoyment out of it. In the end I'm grateful for this experience because from now on with it lingering ever so unpleasantly in the back of mind -- I can actually enjoy the shitty bars in downtown San Jose, CA. To each his own. Most of the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Should've checked reviews before entering. Could have avoided a disappointing night.

A nice local bar with a great vibe. Good music and great service. Crystal was super! I had never been to Portland before and she took the time to help me with recommendations on places to visit while in town. She was very attentive to her customers and has good energy. I will make this a spot when i come back to town!

I'm one hundred percent sure the Mac and cheese will give me the poops. The cheese sauce was broke. And I've literally never had a bread stick or cheese stick that I didn't like, until now. It almost tasted moldy and burnt. I got delivery so sadly I can't send it back. Here's to paid sick time tomorrow.

The bar staff nor security were friendly or polite. My party of four had a few drinks and were minding our own business on the main floor. We were approached by a member of the security and thought it was because our masks were off while enjoying our drinks. She started asking extremely inappropriate, vulgar, sexual questions to me about another member of our group. She then said, "Unfortunately, you can't be here. You need to leave." Confused about why we needed to leave all of a sudden after her outrageous inquiry, she called for backup to escort us all out. We were not being loud, disrespectful to her or anyone else at the bar or intoxicated to the level of being cut off. I guess they can afford to kick out paying customers when they charge a $10 cover. It's disappointing to see so many reviews that discuss discrimination. After my experience here I am not surprised. Moreover, the responses from the owner to poor reviews are sarcastic and do little to remedy the negative experience these customers have. This review is to educate the reader about my personal experience. Hopefully they improve their way of doing business as it could have been a great time.

The bartenders, Alexa and Bekka were fantastic and very accommodating. The soda water here sucks.

Met some friends here to start off our NYE celebration and it was so much fun! Well drinks were incredibly affordable and the "throwback" playlist made it a great place to pre-game.

The service is always great with outstanding customer service. The chicken fingers are perfectly crisped with enough breading that is the just right balance for the chicken.

I have never felt safer with the bouncers and staff looking out for the safety of my sisters and I. A man was sexually gesturing towards my sister and then aggressively verbally attacking me when the bouncer interjected and removed the individual. The bouncer was kind enough to ensure I was safe when I was ready to leave by walking me to my Uber to ensure I was in good hands. I cannot say kind enough things about this staff and management. They are doing something right. Thank you.

Cool atmosphere and good energy. However, all is lost once you enter. Not one staff member I talked to was polite. They constantly rushed me and my friends, and one barista yelled at my friend when she misheard her at the bar. The bouncy immediately eyed up and made made an extremely inappropriate comment towards my girl friends at the door. I'm sure this place could be a great place to start or end a night, but the staff truly ruined it for me, my friends, and countless others I know. Bad staff members made us feel unwelcome, and I would recommend finding somewhere else. :(

We waited in line outside the bar for maybe 10 minutes and then when we got inside we discovered that there was a cover charge to get in ($10 per person). Drinks were pretty cheap and the bartenders were awesome! The music is okay, definitely more of a 2000-2013 music vibe.

I love this bar! I've had many fun times here whether I'm just chilling or want to have a good time dancing this is my go to bar. Sam is such an amazing bartender! She is quick and attentive and seems like such a sweet girl.

Strong drinks, friendly bartenders, and 1/10th the amount of douche bags as next door (Dixie Nightlife.) Came in with a group of friends and had a great time drinking at the bar and dancing with the locals. This really isn't my usual kind of spot to grab a cocktail, but my friends in PDX love the place. Drink prices were reasonable, and everyone seemed to be having a good time dancing and drinking. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area.

This is a really fun bar to come to in Portland... I have been hear numerous times both on Sundays and busy weekend nights. They do a pretty good job or making this place not get overcrowded. The bartenders stay pretty nice, the bathrooms don't get too packed, and they play good music. I love the aesthetic of this bar as well. Sunday night karaoke here is a blast!

I moved to Oregon a few months ago and recently started coming to Dixie tavern. The vibe has been great and the bartenders are always amazing. A HUGE shout out to Sam she goes above and beyond and always has a smile on her face.

This is a pretty fun bar! Got there at about 9:30pm on a Saturday, and beat the line and having to pay the cover charge by about half an hour. Bar was pretty empty until about 11 and then it got packed! The music is pretty good and the crowd is fun. Drinks are pretty overpriced though. I would recommend this bar if you're looking for a fun time to dance and let loose, but if you don't like crowd and having little space to move around, this is not the place for you. They do have a blocked off outside area with heaters if you get too hot or need a place to sit for a few minutes.

I made a VIP reservation 2 months ago for my little sister's bachelorette party, and I confirmed it a week ago with the same person, Jason. I was told to come to the front of the line with the party, they would usher us right in, and we hammered out all of the details twice. We arrived, and security staff acted like we were lying out of the gate about the reservation. They had us stand there waiting for confirmation instead of inviting us in to wait, came back out saying both owners didn't know anything about it, and nobody could find Jason. They made us move out of the line onto the sidewalk, and we stood there another few minutes waiting for them to figure their crap out before we decided to give our business to another venue. We went to CC Slaughters and had an amazing time, and the drinks were reasonable. We had no VIP, but we had super short waits for drinks, the bartender was amazing, and the shows were so awesome. We saved at least $200 NOT going to Dixie's. I do not recommend booking with this venue for any events you care about. They will disappoint you.

I had a pretty negative experience back in February when I went to hangout with some friends at this bar for my birthday. When I went to enter, the bouncer went to check my ID (so far normal). I'm used to this and look on the young side even though I'm 26. When he went to check my ID, he didn't do the standard partial bend (30 to 45 degree bend) that bouncers usually do to check if a license is real, but instead he bent it quite literally in half until it made a snapping noise! He ended up breaking my ID, then he claimed it was fake and threatened to confiscate it all together. My ID is out of state, so I don't know if this played a part, but he then began insulting my home state when I asked if he had just never seen one from this state before. I ended up having to return home to grab my passport to verify that my ID was legitimate. I have never had a bouncer be so rude. I understand the position and that you have to be willing to be the "bad guy," but it seemed that he thought I looked young and was determined to break the ID to prove there was no way I was really of age. This kind of treatment of customers is unacceptable, and I will not be returning to this bar again

Came here on a Tuesday close to closing. The blonde female bartender was the sweetest. She didn't rush us and she even went the extra mile to take care of us. It was a great experience. Would highly recommend checking out.

I do my absolutely best to be professional on Yelp, but I will just say it; this place sucks! First off, there is a six dollar cover for guys. Yes I get it, you have to make money to pay the girls and the bouncers. And there were a ton of bouncers. I counted at least five on my way to the bar, though I was fortunate to not be harassed by them like with other reviewers. But that's beside the point. I could walk five minutes in any direction and go to a far superior bar for free, or a very small cover (two dollars at Ground Kontrol, which is where I went after here). Second, the wait for the bar was insane. I don't mind waiting, but being bustled around by douche-bros and their bro hos from the suburbs definitely is not a good time for me. Don't let people lead you on by saying this is a legitimate country bar. It's not.

Rude blonde, small, short hair bartender. I was attempting to buy a shot for the special girl in our group and waited and waited. As always bar etiquette i put my hand up to be acknowledged. I then immediately was made fun by this lady. I took it as a joke until i started trying to ask her a question that this gurl told me she wouldn't serve me because i was being rude for having my hand up. I've been to this place every time our group of friends are done at a previous establishment. I've never had an issue with raising my hand to a bartender rather than screaming to get their attention. At one point i double thought perhaps i had done something. Nope, i had full blown confirmation from the bystander right next to me that i had done nothing wrong and that she was the one being rude. At this point i was done with this place. Our last night out a few weeks ago our group of friends were ready to end the night at dixies again. I immediately refused to step into that bar because their employees think they can be rude to a paying customer. Never have i been disrespected by a bartender, but i will never be entering this establishment, i will never suggesting it to friends or my customers. And i know she remembers me specifically. It may have been a race thing who knows. Your employee needs training on their customer service etiquette, with that attitude you wont be going far. Does it surprise you that they only have 2 1/2 stars?!

Dixies is probably the only country western themed bar in portland, so if this is what you are looking for, look no further. However, with that being said, Dixie's is not one of my favorite bars in the city. The drinks are pretty over priced, and it's just a big empty bar most nights. There is also always a cover on the weekends which doesn't help. Karaoke nights can be a little more fun, but I would still recommend other bars in China town before I recommend dixies for a good time.

I don't like drinking beer out of a can. IM A DOMESTICATED WOMAM. I don't like watching girls dance on a bar top and I certainly DONT like getting cut in line. Ok thank Yelp this review is shorter than most. Yeah well so is my patience for this place. Not going back in this lifetime. Not for this old lady. Not a bad place, just not for me. ~Gram~

I have now been here twice, 6 months apart, and both times I have had one of the best times ever. I don't live in Portland, but I am here visiting I like to go here at least once and last night was awesome. My sister and I went, we got there around 7:45pm, because if you don't want to pay the cover charge, it is better to get in before 9pm, also you have happy hour till 9pm so we munched on some fries and had a couple shots before the people started flowing in. They all flowed in like crazy. It got packed quick. What we did not know is that Friday nights at 8pm they do Goldfish racing and its free. It was a lot of fun even thought I fished lost the second round. It was so ridiculous, but fun. All our drinks were great. We had a very good bartender, wish I would have got her name. The music is good and the people were not shady, they were fun. I love it when I bar of drunk people get together on a dance floor and start doing the cupid shuffle. So entertaining. Also, through out the night the girls do a dance on the bar, kind of like Coyote Ugly in Vegas, where I am from, and then they have girls from the bar get up and dance to a song. My sister and I actually went up and it was a lot of fun. This bar is pretty sweet.

Great time at Dixie, Audry was phenomenal, such a sweetheart. Will definitely be back!

$10 cover per person for large groups of 12 is total bogus. Yet again another Portland Bar trying to act like it's more special than it is. If I'm paying $10 to get in somewhere it would be in Vegas, LA, or NY or something. Not a Portland bar full of people wearing casual ass attire just chilling like it's a local dive bar. Aside from that the bathrooms were disgusting...

Went to Dixie for Stumptown Santacon 2016. Dixie Tav was friendly, kind and considerate to all us crazy Santas and friends. The bartenders and staff were fast and smiling the whole time. Just super! Thanks!

I came here mid-week when it was slow, and received great service. The bartender who helped me was named Crystal (or Krystal). She suggested I come back on a Friday night , as she said that energy is quite a bit better on a Friday or Saturday night. I came back mainly as I like the fact she was smiling and had good energy. As a business owner myself, I truly believe you're only as good as your people are. She kept a smile (not a fake plastic one)when it was crazy slow, and she worked the bar well when it was busy... . The other bartender who helped me tonight was super sweet too. High energy and good times! Too bad my friend had to stay at work, so I was the lonely cat in the bar! Never felt awkward though as the energy in the place was solid. When I visit from Seattle I will stop in here in the future.

This is easily the worst bar I've been to in Portland, potentially the worst ever. I do not understand what audience this bar appeals to. $10 cover, crowded with young drunk kids. I deeply regret setting foot in this establishment. Awful vibes. I will never go again. There are so many cool places in Portland, there is absolutely no point in ever checking out this place. Take yourself and your money literally anywhere else.
