Doug Fir Lounge

This place has amazing atmosphere. I love the vibe and the structure. The food and drinks are good. However I was very disappointed to find out that they got rid of their dessert... A place like this should definitely have dessert on the menu. All in all though, I always enjoy coming here, it is a very pleasant place to relax and hang out.

Doug Fir is an excellent choice for a night out whether you’re going for their food or their shows. I went to see the Q and Baby Rose show at Doug Fir and was shocked at how large and cool the downstairs concert venue area is. From the outside it may look like a sleepy diner but once inside you’ll quickly realize it’s everything but that. Their fries are absolutely delicious and work as a quick bite after a lively show.

I recommend this venue. Great atmosphere. These photos were from Eric Rachmanys acoustic tour he did with Kyle Ahern, Geoff Weers and the band Cydeways. This was my third time going to this place and I look forward to next time. There is a restaurant that is connected to it as well. Nice patio area. The venue is downstairs and there are bathrooms down there as well. I would get to the show early if you go so you can get a good spot. Venue is small but a great spot for intimate shows. Also parking is just on the street. There is The Jupiter Hotel that is on the same property you can also stay at for the show that's pretty convenient.

We came here for a concert in their basement venue, but had drinks and food at the bar beforehand. We were immediately greeted at the door. When we told them that we had never been in before, they gave us a great explanation of what was available to us. We picked the bar because of time constraints. The bartender had snacks and craft cocktails to us quickly. Everything was delicious and the drinks were high octane. We had a great time and were treated well while we were there! Very nice venue.

Fun concert venue. Staff is always polite. Dinner upstairs beforehand is highly suggested. Great food, reasonable prices.

Great Vegan beyond burger! Plus we had the best service that we came back 3 days in a row. Also check out the avocado tosadas. You can get them vegan style with tofu.

05/06/17: 3.5 out of 5 - This is the second time coming to Doug Fir Lounge. It's been a very long time since the first visit. I came here with a group of friends after a long run at the Eastbank Esplanade. The staff were quick to be able to seat us the group, which is a plus considering that a group of our size can be a bit of a wait. The staff were nice. Our food server was attentive and very helpful. Definitely service at that level is notable. We all received our food in good amount of time. My order, The Logger, was a little more catered to what I liked and can be a little confusing. However, the Doug Fir cooks got absolutely right! The food was good and not so pricey in comparison to other breakfast venues in the area. The restaurant has a Mid Century Modern (MCM) vibe to it. Something to appreciate if you are into to MCM look. Overall, it's a good place. As always, I suggest trying the Doug Fir Lounge out once and decide for yourself. Enjoy!

Just had my first experience at the Doug Fir (Kainalu concert) and I will absolutely be coming back ASAP. The food is amazing (get the ceviche!), the cocktails are delicious, and the atmosphere is somehow both chill and energetic.

Doug Fir was closed during the pandemic and the restaurant/bar part of it was closed for quite a while after the pandemic. This place is a nostalgic favorite as it's where my husband and I had our first date. Our experience this weekend was much better than our last pre-pandemic visit and definitely deserves an update. We arrived a little after 7:00 and had no trouble getting a table. An hour later, the place was getting busy. I think it depends on what band is playing, a lot of people seemed to know each other. Very attractive servers and bartender, our female server was very sweet and generally efficient. Things were slightly odd though. We ordered drinks, we usually each have one double and were told, "oh, we don't do doubles." This was both funny and strange as restaurants all over town do a double for us and we eat out almost every Saturday night. But whatever. I ordered a vodka cranberry and was told they were out of cranberry juice. Also odd, as it's a bar staple and they weren't all that busy. But I rolled with the flow and had grapefruit instead. The drinks were well mixed. We started with the deviled eggs, which were wonderfully delicious. Probably the best we've had in town. For dinner, I had the chicken strips. They were very tasty, but there were only three and they were pretty small. They look larger in my pic than they actually were. This seemed a bit cheap on their part. The fries were very plentiful, so I was full, but still.... My husband had the Notorious P.I.G., which is a pulled pork sandwich. His portion was great and he shared a couple of bites, it was really, really good. Wish I'd gotten that instead. Overall, a good experience but they need to work a bit on the drinks situation and better portions of some items. We're looking forward to going again, I know they are changing their location soon, but not sure how soon. Definitely worth a visit.

3.5 stars if that was an option. We ordered a couple of drinks, a tequila sunrise, some other tequila drink I don't remember the name of, which I didn't care much for. Their fries and sauce it came with was good. I liked the vibe of the restaurant, we didn't stay at the hotel. They have a fun vending machine in right outside the entry doors. Nightclub is across the street and you can hear the bass bumping which could annoy some people. I didn't mind. I wish they had more options for food. I'd suggest checking them out if you're in the area. Service was decent.

Location: In a fun location with hotels and bars around the area! Drinks: So good! I had a watermelon cooler which was refreshing but also had a little spice from the jalapeño! They also do a great job with the presentation of the drinks Vibe: the atmosphere and decor make this place special. I haven't found a place in Portland like this yet! It seemed very mid-century, but it also gave a cozy cabin feel. There is also an underground concert venue! We didn't get tickets in time but will need to come back and visit.

Ate here last month and we didn't have a reservation but ended up only waiting 5 minutes to be seated for a party of 2. The host was quick to clean and table. Very thankful. It's a great quote place to eat for date night or quick food before a show downstairs! I had the caesar salad and my friend had the burger with fries. Nothing but great things to report back. Highly recommended order their salad, it's a good portion and great croutons!

I seem to always ebd up here by default. Sizzle Pie's COVID-19 hrs, or they dont have enough people to make the pizzas and I end up here. Both happened in the past week and both times I had the good, no... great fortune of dealing with Derek as my bartender. They have a nice little menu set up. I think there is something tasty for just about everyone on it... and I know they have enough libations to warm or cool you on the coldest or warmest of nights. I have been here twice before. Once for music and once on a plutonic date, turned questionable. The setting inside is as attractive as the name. A pure slice of the Pacific Northwest that I am now thinking is reason enough to make this my first stop when I come back into town with my job. EATS THUS FAR: Mac and cheese: I don't like mac and cheese. I never have.... but I never stop looking for a place that can change my mind about that statement. This place didn't do it for me. Beyond Burger: It was okay... Just don't compare it to the Impossible Burger. I make those at home. Chicken tenders and waffle fries: I have had less than a plate of fries in the past year, with the majority of that 3/4 plate having been eaten here. The tenders were nothing spectacular... it was just tasty enough to satiate my hunger pangs. I am sure I will be back to add to this foodie journal, which I shall once again notate... I never write for others, ONLY for me... so I know what to get, or not to get, the next time. REMINDER: I am ordering the hunmus plate next time... and always take proper care of your bartender... oh and that goes double if Derek is your bartender because he truly sets the bar that others strive to attain.

Really like their cozy interior, like a cabin. Plenty of booths, bar seats, and casual corners to sit at and mingle. Good lighting and offer a wide selection of affordable drinks. They also have an outdoor area that must be really nice in the Summer as well as a basement music venue. Got everything for everyone all year round.

Doug Fir is a win all around. It's a solid concert venue but also has a fun lounge upstairs. However, for me the best part of Doug Fir is brunch. They make their own waffles which is amazing but the real star is the potatoes. Highly recommend.

Great place to see music , have a beverage and the food is above average for bar food ! One of my fave Portland lounges for sure !

I've been to the Doug Fir Lounge twice to see my favorite musicians live. Both times were phenomenal. Let's talk about the space first. It's designed so well; kind of a cabin-meets-upscale-Portland kind of feel. Upstairs (where you enter) has a darling little bar. The bartenders I've met have all been incredibly kind. My favorite spot upstairs, though, is the private outdoor area. It has about a dozen different covered seating areas that are lit with candles; it's cozy, rain or shine. You can also smoke outside, which I am honestly so grateful for. I know how anti-smoking everyone is these days, but there are still so many of us who smoke when we drink. Instead of forcing smokers out of the venue to the street (where it honestly isn't safe at night, especially for women), the Doug Fir Lounge has still kept a spot for them, and I appreciate it. Downstairs is where the music venue is. It's a great open area where sound travels well. There is a full bar at the back of the venue, and the experiences that I've had with the bartenders there, too, have been wonderful. There's a designated merch spot and clean bathrooms. All around, it is a great place for shows, and my favorite in the Portland area. I also want to take a moment to compliment the Doug Fir Lounge for their inclusivity. The staff there is already amazing, but they went above and beyond when I brought my close friend to a show, who is a paraplegic in a wheelchair. They took care of her and ensured that she had easy access to everything that she needed. It meant a lot to the both of us. Doug Fir Lounge, everything you're doing you're doing right.

I read about this indie club and a few other jazz clubs in a New York Times Travel Book. Unfortunately, by the time I made it to Portland the jazz clubs closed due to the pandemic. I am not sorry I ended up here though. The drinks were very reasonable and the layout is perfect. If I were to open my own bar or lounge one day, this is the design I'd want. You walk in and there are French doors leading to a bar and a set of stairs leading to the music. All live shows are downstairs. Through the French doors is the bar, lots of tables and cute intimate booths, on the other side there are more private areas for talking and an outdoor patio and restrooms. It's literally a place to listen to music and once you've had enough there is a place to go to chill and have a conversation. Brilliant!

The steak and potatoes were absolutely perfect, a solid 10 out of 10. The double eggs also did not disappoint!

We stayed at the Jupiter Hotel and Doug Fir is next door. I liked it. We have breakfast which was decent. I had a veggie hash bowl which was tasty and filling and my BF had the eggs platter. We also had dinner there the night before, it was mellow. My steak was good, kinda small and thin - but tasty. Our friends were raving about the burgers.

Stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday morning and it was quiet. Got a booth for 5 in the slightly retro feeling lounge area - booths are super comfy and there is great natural light from the large windows. Kids had blueberry pancakes which were sweet and fluffy. I had the biscuits and gravy with eggs on the side - biscuit was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, held up well to the gravy. A friend tried the pop tart which was interesting - a homemade pop tart they was less sweet than the original sugar trap. Service was timely and they checked on us often. All in all it was a good choice for a quick bite. Street parking can be tricky but there is enough in the blocks surrounding the place that it wasn't an issue for us.

Not a bad way for a weekend finale. Portland has enough vegan dishes to make me think I was practicing. Had to break that mindset with a little meat in the brunch burger and a little more meat in the Mary. Place was great that it could seat us 10 And even more so that it was able to accommodate our luggage. Bonus points for having a lost and found as well!!

We ordered the Eggs Benedict and clarified Mamosa AMAZING service is very friendly and will be back again. Prices were perfect for the amount of food

Paid a visit to Doug Fir for the first time this weekend. I didn't see a show or dine in, this review is only for the bar area. Loved the ambiance - very cool vibe. The restrooms (and hallway to them) were trippy.. all mirrors! There was lots of seating space available and is self seated. *Doug Fir checks vaccination records at the door* The bar was a bit busy with the show going on below, but we got our drinks quickly and found a nice cozy spot outside. While Doug Fir didn't wow me with their drinks selection, the crowd and atmosphere made it a fun place to hang out and converse with a cocktail.

We've been to a few shows here and it's a super intimate venue with great sound. The upstairs restaurant/bar area transports you into another decade with it's carefully curated decor. It oozes hip and makes you want to drink a martini with your pinky in the air. The bartender made hubby and I some mean Moscow Mules and Blackberry martinis. I love the low lighting and moody atmosphere.

I'm a bit partial to this cool venue. I've driven down from Seattle to see shows here 4 times now. Sorry for the late review. They also have a hotel attached to it, but I've never stayed there. A friend has stayed at the Jupiter hotel many times and has never seen a show, so I think I win! There's a restaurant/bar as you enter and the food us good, but the real attraction is downstairs. There's a small bar area in the back with the usual beers, but their selection of bourbons is quite good. On this last visit, I spied bottles of Blanton and Buffalo Trace. Well done. Prices are also reasonable. $6 pints for a local IPA on tap. The stage is relatively small by most standards, but that just means a very intimate experience. There are some small tables lining the outer walls and some seats at the bar counter, but not many. This is also Portland, so although folks will crowd in the front, if you just want to take a quick photo, they'll let you squeeze by. I've never had a bad experience here. I would rate it as one of the most intimate and laid back venues ever. Keep it weird Portland! Love you!

We came here a little late around 12:30am to end our night, but it was the perfect top to the night. Really cute Portland vibes with the log cabin interior and a Sasquatch statue on the patio. The bar was great and they have a good cocktails. We ordered the blackberry cosmos and a half dozen of oysters (they didn't have enough to make a full dozen) I'd love to come back for live music soon.

Food sucked, expect your window to get smashed. Really super mediocre. Overall wouldn't recommend.

**Bar Review Only** I'm tempted to leave five stars, based soley on the fact that they serve a delicious (and affordable) Impossible Burger, up until around 1-130am! Plus, I absolutely loved the inside of this place - big logs and mirrors are used to decorate the interior, finished off with a cozy fire place area. It really makes you feel like you are inside of a ski lodge, and the mirrors make it feel a lot bigger than it is. I haven't been downstairs yet but the lounge down there hosts concerts all the time. We all tried the Impossible Burger ($10 / $9 during happy hour) and it was a perfect meal after a few drinks. Unlike the other places we've tried, they let you add toppings to the burger, like a fried egg or cheese), and again, it's very affordable compared to $15-20 for an Impossible burger at a fancier restaurant. Even without happy hour, the prices of the drinks and food seemed very fair and the bartenders were friendly. The large patio looks great for the summer and there's two cozy chairs in a nook inside, which look great for reading in. I'll definitely be back.

We came here on a Sunday for brunch. No wait and comfy seating and easy parking. I loved we didn't have to wait in line. This is a great place and environment to relax and catch up with loved ones. We had a great brunch! The food was awesome! I had the eggs Benedict with Serrano ham, pesto and Polenta cakes. It was a dynamite combination to an old spin classic. I had a Bloody Mary and it was hot but good! Add a beer chaser and you would of had a potential 5-star! The biscuits and gravy was a huge hit! The mimosas went over very well! They have a nice specialty drink menu. I highly suggest this place! It was really one of the best brunches we have had in a long time. We'll be back! The service was great too! Very attentive and nice people!

After a long absence I made my way to DFL to try one of their 15th anniversary weekly specials this month. For $5.00 I had their pickled brined and panko breaded fried chicken sandwich. It had arugula, red onions, pickles and a potato bun. Although it was good, just not to the level of Basilisk. I love the atmosphere of the place, like dining in rustic cabin. Service was attentive and look forward to coming sooner than later. Cheers Duane P.

The Doug Fir Lounge that is a restaurant and bar which was established in 2004. The basement also hosts a variety of events and concerts. Doug Fir is a great spot to grab drinks with friends. I typically order the Moscow Mule, which is one of my favorite mules in PDX. If you're in the area I suggest stopping by and trying a Mule while admiring the cabin-chic decor.

Saw this place in the neighborhood we were exploring while visiting Portland. Went in to grab a quick drink. We were chatting with the bartender and it sounds like they put on events/concerts or have live music at night. Maybe it's a better scene then. Service was good, but the drinks were only ok. It's not a bad place to try, but only if you're in the area.

Environment here is awesome. Modern, upscale feel. Fire pits outside for the summer. The music venue that's downstairs is amazing. It's a more intimate setting with great sound. The food tho, meh... I've had a burger here in the past that was amazing, a fatty burger with candied bacon (however, no longer on the menu) . Today I ordered the pot roast and it was not good at all.... especially for the price. Not much flavor, I actually avoided the sauce and fished at the meat only because I felt like I had to eat something since it was over $20. My husband agreed on the pot roast. He ordered a burger tonight, it was just ok. Nothing special, small meat patty, he thought the Caesar salad he ordered with it sucked lol. That being said, I would come back for music but will skip the food moving forward !!

I haven't had the food here, so this review is solely based on my experience at the bar and downstairs at the concert venue. I've been to two shows here, and each time, I've had a really fun time! The concert area is super intimate which is great because you feel like you can talk to and hangout with the people around you without being overwhelmed by crazy lights and effects. Because it is so small, the times I've went, the artist hangs out with the crowd before their set, or stays behind after to meet the crowd and sign stuff. Drinks here are good, I always get an Amaretto Sour, and they make it really well. One time I was double charged on my credit card, and called the next day right when I found it on my statement. Their staff are SO professional! I called in and I talked to someone in the main office and she was really clear about next steps and giving me her contact info and exact time she would contact me back, and she did call AND email me an explanation of what happened and what is going to happen to reverse the charge. I've honestly never had a better experience in dealing with a credit card issue than here!

This is a hipster bar to the max. The food is limited on the bar side and the drinks are all flair. I didn't necessarily feel welcome when I entered and I went to the restaurant side. The beer/cider selection was good but the host and waiter were not accommodating to questions or requests. I'll take my money and business elsewhere.

Celiac friendly stop for yummy foods & drinks. Recommend the vegan ceviche - so yummy and fresh!

First timer here last night for the new Dating Pool match game. I really liked the downstairs lounge - great vibe and LIGHTING. My goodness, it makes everyone look sexy. It was a hilarious event to take my friend to. Perfect type of crowd, lots of people to mingle with within the same age range. Downside: Only one somber bartender serving the entire downstairs. The line was pretty long, and who likes lines? Lines take the fun out of anything, but I will definitely be back.

I wish I could give this place three different ratings: 5 Stars for the music venue downstairs 3.5 Stars for the Bar and Restaurant 1 Star for the Bar and Restaurant during Burger Week Today I'm going to talk about my experience during burger week. First, the moment we walked in, you could tell the workers were harried and disgruntled. Waiting in line to put our names on the list for a table in the restaurant, I overheard the bartender in a conversation with someone sitting at the bar, They asked about Doug Fir's burger in comparison to the other Burger Week burgers. His response was that he would never go to a place during burger week because the people who came in were shitty, and so were the tips. That Burger Week was "Hell to work." Not off to a good start! We didn't have to wait too long for a table (just enough time to get one drink -- while we were getting drinks that same bartender asked our party at least 4 times if everyone was over 21 -- we are and said so each time, we finally just said, "Should we show you our IDs?" He said no.) When we got to our table, our server came up and said "Are you here for burger week?" And we said yes! And so he said, "okay, 4 burgers!" He was going to walk away but we caught him and told him we wanted drinks and a bowl of fries for the table. He seemed annoyed by this and rushed off. One person was like, "Well, I was going to get tator tots, too, but I guess not!" We did eventually flag him down and ordered the tots. Someone else delivered the burgers and we basically never saw our server again until he dropped off the bill. We would have ordered more drinks and complained about the lipstick on a water glass and we would have asked for more ketchup instead of having to swipe one off the table next to us. We did ask for napkins at one point and he brought 2 napkins for a table of 4. Notice I didn't say "extra" napkins. Just napkins. We literally had to tear them in half and share. But instead we just left a shitty tip and left. I HATE doing that, because I've been a server and bartender myself. But it was like a self-fulfilling prophecy over there! They expected shitty tips during burger week so they gave shitty service, and then got shitty tips! It really would have taken a total of an extra 2 minutes to just smile and check back on us, and get at least a 20% tip, Instead I left somewhere around 11-12% and felt bad about the entire experience -including leaving such a shitty tip. Oh! I didn't even mention the burgers! Well, I'll attach a couple pictures of what I got, compared to the photo on the Burger Week website. Suffice to say it was more like Burger WEAK at Doug Fir. Maybe the worst part was that we brought another couple with us who had never been there before, and we talked the place up so much on the way there! We've been to Doug Fir for multiple shows, Happy Hours, drinks, and even an anniversary dinner! But this was the worst. I know I'll go back for shows, but I won't bother visiting upstairs again any time soon.

Tiny place, more outside seating than inside, so it can be a challenge to find a seat, hope for nice weather. In the lounge everything is ordered at the bar, drinks and food. We were there for happy hour and sampled many of the food offerings. Most memorable were the tacos, Caesar salad and the basic tots. The mac and cheese was good but could have used a dash of seasoning and the mac was not al dente. The beef sliders were great. The hummus plate was a bit on the spicy side and round out the chickpea flavor of the hummus. The other items on the plate, olives and feta were nice and the pickled vegetables were curious and interesting. The .38 Special cocktail aka a rye whiskey sour, was tasty and nice with a lot of ice. Bar service was great and friendly. Food came out of the in a reasonable time and someone was always around to take our plates and glasses as they emptied. We'd come back.

Always fun to come here in the summer and hang out by the fire. I stayed in the Hotel last week and it was really nice. Breakfast was also good in the morning. I'm rating 4 stars because drinks are spending and it's trendier than I prefer. I would recommend this place to an out of towner if you want to have a wild night downtown without being stuck downtown. Ohh yeah, and the hotel gives out condoms, lol!!!

My Review is for the Concert Venue. One night, my white female friend and I decided to go out and Paint the Town Red. She wore all black clothing and I wore my best Blue Jeans and a great looking blouse. It was early Springtime. She and I went to a Concert at Doug Fir Lounge. It was 2006 in May when we went. The group we went to listen to is named " Cloud Cult. " My female friend wanted to go Dancing and then when I realized the she couldn't hear me over the performers we went for a Walk. I didn't know she didn't own a car. She and I arrived separately to Doug Fir Lounge that Night. We both lived in Downtown Portland, Oregon. I guess you could say she was my Best Friend or " Bestie. " She took the Bus to a nearby Bus Stop... I walked from Downtown. She and I left early... as we both had appointment early the next morning. There was a Patio Area outside that was fenced in... and my white female friend stopped to talk with some other white women about the Show and what Drinks they were consuming. Those other white women were from Out of Town. Holy Cow,... was it LOUD inside the Concert Venue for that night's Concert. Also, I told my Best Friend to drink her drink so we could get the Heck Out of There... because she looked like she was Not having as much fun as certain people who were in attendance while we were at the Concert. She was a little Tipsy when we left Doug Fir Lounge... I suggested that we walk over the Burnside Bridge... and I made sure she got to her Apartment safely that night. Oh yes, in case you were wondering... my Best Friend died a few years ago... I found out one afternoon a few weeks before her Birthday week. She died young. I met my soon to be Boyfriend later in 2006... he is my Best Friend as well as my Darling Husband. Here's a link to the write up about that band/ group. https://archive.psuvanguard.com/lovin-and-listenin-18/

Friday, after (my g/f's) work, dropped into Doug Fir. We were early in, not too many people there. Very pleasant bartendress, got us going with drinks and a [free!!!] soda water and lime for me, the d/d. Been here many times. I've come in for lunch, after work drinks, even saw a concert downstairs. It's a comfortable, trendy environment. The heavy logs tend to elicit a "we're definitely not in a dive bar" aura. Music, while a bit loud, can be a good background. One thing - and not a negative, just a note - several groups came in after us and it seemed like seating space was at a premium. That's no fault of DF, just something that happens on a Friday evening. No one seemed to mind though. Because we bought drinks en masse, it's hard to know what individual costs would have been but I don't think they were exorbitant. Also had the happy hour vegan nachos - not really my cup of tea but our non-dairy person praised them. And the pork rinds which I really enjoyed. No worries all around - we'll be back.

Doug Fir is the closest place to get drinks when I stay in Portland, so naturally I find myself here frequently. Other than the location, the biggest selling point to me is the outside seating area. It is very large and has never been too crowded to find a place to sit and drink and smoke and, on a good day, enjoy the sunshine and some fresh air. There is some cover when it's raining too though. While I'm mostly here for the drinks, I've come here just to eat too. Breakfast was an absolute no because their biscuits and gravy were terrible and that sort of steered me away from ever wanting to try more of their breakfast, but I'm a fan of their Fir Burger and fries for lunch or dinner. I've only been to a couple of their shows downstairs (and admit it's been awhile since either of them) but I liked the set up and had an enjoyable time. Not a bad place at all to see smaller bands/artists and I wouldn't hesitate to see a show here again, if someone I knew I already liked was performing. The Doug Fir isn't somewhere I'd ever go out of my way to eat or drink at, but I'm still a fan because I really do appreciate having it so close to me while visiting Portland, and I haven't ever had a reason to not continue stopping in at least once while in the area.

Was here last night and now I must say, The Fir is absolutely my favorite place to be. The decor gives this place a cool retro cabin feel and ambience. What's even better is that you can have dinner and drinks right before you head downstairs for a show. Their venue also happens to be my favorite place to see a show because it's not too big, the acoustics are great, and again the decor is frigging cool!! With all that being said, the best part of the Doug fir is their bartender Megan! She's friendly, funny and her customer service skills are A++. She was serving the most excellent drinks and even came up with some surprise concoctions. Can't wait to come back! I highly recommend you bring your friends and family!

Went here for a drink and a concert and both were fantastic. Service was quick, selection was great and I appreciated their suggestions for what drinks to pair with the food. The music was great for a weekday night and the audience was fun. Will definitely be going back regularly.

The bouncer denied me and my friends and we're all of age and clearly. He tried to say our Id's were fake but would give us no reason why. He literally had no reason but refused to let us enter. So unprofessional and messed up, just trying to get some drinks with my friends after the blazers game. Very disappointed and will never come again, so unprofessional. The guy who was at the door was a bearded man with glasses and should be fired for being the most rude and unprofessional bouncer...

A wonderful bar with a laid back, friendly vibe. Bar staff is super knowledgeable and can hold their own in conversation, so basically, exactly what you want. The aesthetic is kind of Pacific Northwest kitschy with log walls, a patio with a view and great seating around a fireplace, plus a dining area that is just comfortable enough to make you appreciate food that doesn't take an hour to arrive. Vegan and vegetarian options are readily available on the menu, and the staff speaks the lingo regarding food preferences, so whatever choice you've made for diet intake, you'll probably find more than one choice on the menu. I wasn't able to attend a show downstairs, so I'll have to leave that for a return trip.

I have been to this place twice for breakfast, this visit was actually on 12/20. The place was almost empty, but the service was very good and friendly. I only got a coffee and a small sandwich (please refer to photo for details). The food was freshly prepared and of very good quality. This place doesn't have a parking lot, street parking may be available but watch out for signs to avoid fines.

Went for a concert, towards the end of the night some friends and I decide to go upstairs and have a smoke. Dude at the top tells us that area is closed, oh ok whatever, we start heading back downstairs when he says we can't go back inside. Uhh what? He says we can finish our beers but we have to go outside after? At this point we don't understand, maybe it's because the show is almost over? We go outside to smoke and mull it over, as we're doing this we notice a group go into the bar area and we're like wtf? We go back in and ask why they were allowed in and we got kicked out, he said we all showed signs of intoxication. I could understand if we were spilling our drinks, stumbled up the stairs, or were talking obnoxiously loud or something, but we were literally just walking up with our drinks trying to go to the outside fire area. We're dumbfounded and ask nicely if we could just go down and finish the show we paid $40 for, they say no and even start getting smart with us while we were expressing our frustration in a reasonable manner. Fine, we're not getting back in, I ask to at least use the restroom that's right there at the entrance, no possible way I could try and sneak in by doing so and I get a, "Nope! Get outta here." So for anyone planning on going to a concert here and drinking alcohol, be careful not to walk up the stairs normally, because you will be kicked out for signs of intoxication.

This Clubë is the OG (Original Gangster) Portland ClubëHause. All the haters wish they could be as cool as Doug Fir Lounge. Doug Fir lounge is on fleek.

Vibrant and chill vibes at this place. The fireplace and open seating area in the back is perfect for large groups. Strong drinks and friendly bar tenders. One of my favorite places to go for a classy night out.

Not what me and my friends expected in terms of atmosphere. We came here on a Sunday night and the place was dead. The drinks were all right and the bartender seemed uninterested in taking our orders. The decor was nice and they have a seating area but my group felt that we could have been to a better location.

After not frequenting this place for at least 10 years....I have come here with other people twice in the last month prior to attending concerts at the Bossanova ballroom. It just seems like it might be a good chill place to hang out and have some food/drinks while waiting for a concert. I guess I was totally wrong!!! One of the two times I was recently here....I made a reservation for dinner for five people in the dining room. I got there 15 minutes early and the guy couldn't find my reservation at first and then finally found it. He said he didn't want to seat me until the rest of my party was there. I asked "why not?" he explained that he was behind and didn't have menus and water on the table yet. I asked again if I could go ahead and just be seated because that didn't matter to me... And he still asked me to wait. The place was not even that busy. So I went to the other side and sat down at the bar because that is the self-serve side where you have to order at the bar and it was happy hour. He saw me there and waved and I never heard from him again. Fortunately there was one large area out on the patio that was available and it was a warmer evening so I was able to grab that for my group. But on this side you have to order happy hour food and I have to say they're happy hour burger is one of the worst burgers I have ever eaten... meat is smaller than the bun and it has a cold kraft single as the cheese. lol Recently I came here with a group prior to the Puddle of Mudd concert and I was the first one to arrive of the group. I went to the happy hour/order at the bar side and it was apparent that the bartender was on something. I ordered, he took my card and then some girl came to the counter and asked if the Photo Booth worked. He said that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and asked her if she would like a shot, her choice, because the Photo Booth didn't work. He asked her what she would like a shot of and she asked him to make the choice. He left me standing there even though I asked for my card back. I swear this guy ran up and down looking at the bottles trying to figure out which shot to give her for at least five minutes. Weird! By then there were two other people behind me and I asked for my card again which he ignored again because he was busy pouring a free shot. Now everybody in line was talking with each other trying to figure out what the hell he was doing. He poured the shot gave it to her and then immediately went to the guy behind me in line and took his order. I asked a third time for my card... And he finally gave it to me with my charges and it was $27. I said this is not the right amount... Because mine was much less. Are you ready for this? He said "I put the guy behind you order on yours by accident... Can you to work it out between you?" WHAT?? Then he charged the guy behind me $7, which was also wrong because his order was on my bill. After that he ignored us because there was a huge line... And we had to eat and run because we were going to be late for the concert. This was an acceptable... And one of my friends went there a couple days ago and says he still is working behind the bar. Probably pissing off customers still and giving away free alcohol. I won't be back!! I will take my groups and friends other places than this. Doug Fir you are used up and need to change your Business practices or move on.

The end of an era. We've been coming here for years - staying at the attached Jupiter Hotel and hopping over to the DFL for happy hour / dinner - but thanks to Selin Bert and ego-tripping security like Justin, we won't be coming here ever again. (Please, someone let me know if Selin and Justin move on. Those two have ruined this place.) I hope that the (very nice) bar staff like Sean and Nick find better bosses than Selin to work for sooner than later. And I hope Justin get the counseling (or anger management) that he obviously needs. Justin and Selin wouldn't even let me leave with an ice water tonight, that the bartender had put in a plastic to-go cup . (I was only taking it to my hotel room, 25 feet away.) We've been coming here for years (and bringing the bands and crew that we drive with us). I've never had trouble getting an ice water to-go from the bar, until tonight. Never again. Thanks, Justin and Selin.

Nice place to visit with friends when wanting to get a drink and hang out. The do have indoor seating but we usually like to hang out outside of the weather is dry. They have some fire pits and it's a quiet area to relax. Good drinks and there's some bamboo surrounding the outdoor seating for privacy.
