Suki's Bar & Grill

I hadn't been to Suki's in 25 years but it used to be a regular pit stop when I lived near there. A favorite hideaway. The bar configuration was the same as before so I was able to get my favorite seat. Bartender was Aaron and she was full of knowledge and history of the place and just very welcoming. Good company to chat with. We were staying in the attached motel which worked out just fine and affordable for us. It's close to driving up OHSU on the hill. Convenient. Very nice, diverse crowd. People having fun. I liked that the Karaoke wasn't too loud. Recommended.

Went here every night while on a trip to visit some friends, and honestly, this place is such a vibe. Drinks and food are great, the staff here are so nice and fun, they also have karaoke, pool, pop-up drag shows, and themed nights. Fr my favorite bar and going for Halloween was a blast!

Summer graciously handled about 30 Portland Lesbian Choir members who decended on her this atelier after our Spring concert. She took orders and ran good and everyone had an amazing time!

Great service, karaoke all week long, and happy hour until 11pm on Sundays. Great atmosphere!

We ordered delivery. This jar is TWO servings of their peach margarita, $24.20 (both sides shown so you can see we didn’t open it). On the left are the “Jumbo” Korean Fried Wings, $15.40. In the middle the Chicken “Tenders”, $15.40. Nothing tasted good. Tell me if any of this seems worth it. Stay away from this place, it’s a total ripoff.

Omg, me and a bunch of people from choir showed up and flooded in during a part of the day when there's usually not as big of a cowd.. In spite of the chaos the lone bartender, Summer, stayed on point with everything. She was patient and kind and organized. I got my order exactly how I wanted. I don't usually leave reviews, but it was honestly impressive, so I had to say something.

10 stars!!! Ray is absolutely awesome! The service here has been top notch since I started coming here 7 years ago. Attentive and knowledgeable staff, clean establishment, and the jalapeño burger is mouth watering wateringly great! Portions are generous. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

Came here for a meet up and was actually pretty surprised because the venue is quite big and there’s a lot of space for different groups to meet up. There’s a nice area where you can do karaoke for a one dollar a person and that’s actually a pretty sweet deal because I wouldn’t want to do more than even one song if I came here and it’s a good bargain for your wallet. They have a pretty nice ambiance it’s pretty dark inside but I would recommend coming on a Friday night when you want to meet some people and you want to friendly environment. I’ll probably come back again and actually sing this time since they have a nice projector with the lyrics on them.

Karaoke every night! Dive bar. Mediocre bar food , as one would expect. But it's hot and fresh Friendly staff Always a supportive audience. Wings really hot the spot

Ended up here with friends on a Thursday night for karaoke night... or is every night karaoke night. Steven was an excellent bartender and singer. I had straight pours or a basic mixed drink. I don't think this is the spot for a fancy cocktail. We had some snacks and they were fine. I do like a dive bar that also has decent food. And the space is really big! If you want to have a quieter conversation, you can sort of get away from the karaoke and they have some gambling machines if that's your vibe. It's below a hotel so there were some hotel guests wandering in to get some snacks who were clearly a little bemused by the whole scene. Solid choice!

What would I say about Suki's? The vibe is excellent. They have a decent drink selection and a broad range of seating. The place is comfy overall, and the staff are always friendly. They have awesome KJs and support a lot of community groups. The food menu is sort of just okay and doesn't feel like a good value. The mandoo I had were fine overall but not super exciting. Will I keep coming back? Absolutely! Though I will probably grab food before or after elsewhere.

Owners: Please offer cold glasses for beer on tap. Room temperature beer is not ideal. Definitely wasn't thirsty for a 2nd room temperature beer. A solid 3-stars based on a single experience. This is a locals kinda place. The bartender is efficient and caters to the regulars. The food menu is creative and a step above bar food, but expect bar food quality and you won't be disappointed. This is a bar... that happens to serve food while you drink *thumbs up* A glass from the tap is $7.50 or $2 OFF during Happy Hour; 3-6pm Daily. Next time, I would ask for a cold glass, otherwise the beer reaches room temp quickly *room temp beer isn't tasty* The Happy Hour Food Menu (NOT Fri/Sat) is a step above what you'd expect in creativity, but it's still bar food. The ahi tuna on the "nachos" was a strange texture. It was a measley pressed protein into a square shape and dyed/marinated. I would not have guessed this to be a raw ahi tuna. The fresh mango and the sauce was tasty. AFTER 9pm has a very limited food menu *good ta know*

Food was good, costumer service was ok could have been better.i did not like a few of them,;

As one of my lowkey favorite haunts in Portland, Suki's is every bit as unconventional as it is versatile. Part dive bar, karaoke spot, sports bar, billiards venue brunch eatery, and situated in a hotel (#1)? This is really as Portland as it gets. It might not look like much from the outside, but Suki's is deceivingly spacious. The darker ambience gives off some immediate dive bar vibes, but it really functions as a sports bar with all the TVs illuminating the background. I've come here plenty of times to sit on the bar and enjoy a drink, but this place is really best enjoyed with company. It is the consummate meet up spot and is a good option for most social gatherings. The bartenders know what the deal is, making all the drinks potent and affordable. I enjoy grabbing a cocktail and making this the de-facto destination to watch Blazer games, fight nights, or college football watch party. Sometimes playing a little pool or darts makes the time go by a lot quicker. My personal favorite nights are when there is karaoke happening -- it's public of course and the sound system is impressive. Dive bars don't really serve good food, but Suki's is the exception. They serve a mean brunch and are constantly featuring different items throughout the year. There is bar food naturally, but some elements of Asian and Mexican items that make it into the rotation. I'm all about their brunch personally, and I loved it when they had their pasta nights. While bringing good company is essential, the staff is excellent company of their own. They're friendly, sassy, and make the experience all the more fun. Owner Phil is one of the most chill guys in the industry and does a great job of keeping the ship going. Outdoor seating is available and beware of the parking. _____________ (#1) SureStay Hotel: https://www.yelp.com/biz/surestay-hotel-by-best-western-portland-city-center-portland

This is a great spot. I go to Suki's 2 on Hawthorne as well. Bartender Meagan is being rude to customers. I heard some regulars and others say they won't go when she's there. Hope this bad service gets resolved! I like the place. Good luck

The scroungy dive you've been looking for. In 25 years this place hasn't changed and remains a Platonic ideal of a divey Portland bar. Servers are quick to pour and happily chat with you when it's slow. Friendly folk and latenight karaoke, what's not to love?

Good atmosphere but the bartender needs to be more attentive. Stood there for over 5 mins. I Wanted to leave but I was with a group of people.

Always a good time at Suki's. One of the best dive bars I've been to. The food is pretty good. Enjoy the sports scene and the karaoke. It'll be a fun time.

I work at OHSU and drive by Suki's pretty much every time I go to work and am leaving. I've had coworkers who frequented this place pretty often but even after 3+ years working on this side of town, I'd never been! The other day when leaving work I wanted to find a good happy hour. I remembered Suki's and quickly looked up their menu. Their regular menu looked great and so did their happy hour, so my boyfriend and I went after work. It wasn't super busy when we got there and we were able to walk up to the bar and order right away (this was around 5:30pm). We both got drinks and sat down. For food we ordered the happy hour orange chicken + potstickers and then the wings from the regular menu. Eventually the bar picked up because it was trivia night. And honestly, the bartender crushed it. She was the only one working besides the kitchen and another person bringing out food and clearing tables. Even when it got packed she was still as nice and quick as could be! I actually really liked the vibe of this place and the food was great. I'd pass on the wings next time but there's tons of other stuff I'd want to try. I think the orange chicken was both of our favs!

Everyone was outstanding! I had a great time. The bartenders were so attentive. And OMG the KDJ Daniel!!' Amazing!!! People person!!! He made us all feel at home! I will definitely go back!

I've been here a few times before for just drinks. Overpriced on just that alone. Got the orange chicken tonight, and honestly I'd rather get orange chicken from Safeway.

The beer was cold and refreshing. The bartender was pleasant. The salad was ok. The chicken strips were over done. Had to remove breading. The untreated chicken was wonderful. The fries smelled like salmon. The salmon was fishy and rubbery. If you are going for drinks, it's a nice place with nice staff! Enough food to let you keep drinking if you aren't super selective.

Good people. Good food. Great bartenders. It's a dive bar but a very clean and friendly one. Great for watching sports too.

KaraokeGirlDJ was a total b!tch on night of 5.10.19. #DiveBarDJWannabe Food is bar food, drinks are ok (pour/strength). Would only come back if forced. Not by choice.

Great food for a bar, and the atmosphere is just nothing too crazy, so on a night when you don't reallly know what you wanna cook, and decide on take out, or even decide to sit in, it's a pretty decent place.

Had a Fun time with former coworkers & friends. The Happy Hour Food was "JUST OKAY!" It looks good in the pictures that I am about to attach. The only two Happy Hour dish I liked the most was the Fried Zucchini's & Pork Fried Pot Stickers. Recommending just those two.

Came here for a meet up and was actually pretty surprised because the venue is quite big and there's a lot of space for different groups to meet up. There's a nice area where you can do karaoke for a one dollar a person and that's actually a pretty sweet deal because I wouldn't want to do more than even one song if I came here and it's a good bargain for your wallet. They have a pretty nice ambiance it's pretty dark inside but I would recommend coming on a Friday night when you want to meet some people and you want to friendly environment. I'll probably come back again and actually sing this time since they have a nice projector with the lyrics on them.

I really like staying in the hotel upstairs, probably because there is a happening bar downstairs where I can just stumble up to my room when the evening ends. They even are connected by a door if you are too lazy to go outside and walk around. If I didn't stay upstairs I doubt I would have sought this bar out, because it does seem to be located separate from other similar locations and is kind of a stand alone place. It does have its own parking lot though and is near a bus stop. I've been here on a few visits. I think I have only enjoyed beer, maybe food on one occasion, I can't remember what I got though. It's definitely a divey place. It's dark and seems hazy inside. People sit out front enjoying the night air and smoking cigarettes. There's a pool table and some gambling machines. The karaoke is interesting to observe, and I am amazed to see people dance to it. They have multiple bartenders to keep the line moving and I am happy that they have the beer list posted. The dark corners inside are a great place to sit and enjoy a private conversation.

Honestly this was a random gem we came across tonight. We stopped by to support Portland Margarita week, and were surprised by the stellar service, drinks, and the ORANGE CHICKEN!!!! The bartender was as sweet as can be and she brews up some very tasty cocktails. The happy hour food menu hit the perfect spot of great bites and cheap eats. Perfect spot to stop by and enjoy a easy going evening.

We went to Suki's last night for some pre birthday eats and beverages. We walked in around 5 ish and were immediately greeted by the bartender. We put down our stuff at a table and ordered at the bar. We ordered two hot toddy's with makers and two rice veggie bowls. I ordered the vegetarian option and my girlfriend ordered the beef option. The beef option only comes with rice, cucumber and some greens. Mine came with a boat load of vegetables. I loved my bowl and ate almost every last bite until I got full! We then got some waters and closed out. This isn't the first time I have been to Sukis and it won't be my last! The bartenders are very friendly, drinks are yummy and the food is tasty! I recommend the vegetarian rice bowl, the fish tacos, and my fiancé likes the orange chicken.

The empty plate strikes again! The food was so good I got a second order of the same 3 entrees I got the first time!

Visiting Portland this was close to our hotel. We went in for a drink great vibe. Loved watching people participate in karaoke.

I've been robbed. The person who made this should probably be fired. The health department should have a look at this place. What a disgusting meal that was disgustingly over priced. I feel like I could have eaten at a homeless camp with the food cooked over a shoe fire in a trash can and it would have been better tasting and presented better. Take some pride in your work you disgusting slobs

Ordered through uber eats. I have had bad food, and I know I ordered late at night, but really with this? This is worst food I have ever recived. The only good thing is the sustainable packaging. Rice , protiens, flavor, portions are terrible, even the cut on the veggies is terrible. It tastes like a cheap freezer meal from Win-co.Never again.

I had an awesome time at Suki's last night! We were staying at a nearby hotel and wanted to grab some drinks. When we sat down at the bar, the bartender was super nice and was chatting it up with us for a while. She always made sure we had everything we needed. Drinks are reasonably priced! We had 2 glasses of Cabernet, 3 beers and 1 Hennessy Martini along with HH sliders and tacos--all for $40!! I'll definitely have to come back the next time I'm visiting!

Called before I went, said I'd be one person. Was told the cover is $10. When I got there a woman said since I'm one person, I should sit by the entrance (it wasn't a great spot but whatever)... it also wasn't crowded at all. And then she told me, "for you, it's $15 because you're alone." I'm pretty sure that's not why she charged me more...I felt unwelcome and unwanted. I hate to say this but it's probably true, it could be because I have an accent. I don't mind paying the extra money but I think she kept making excuses and changing the terms because she didn't want me there. Super upsetting because I really wanted to watch the fight but I'm not going to stay somewhere where I feel unwanted and uncomfortable. Do better.

3rd Review: I took my first trip back to Sukis for a friend's birthday party after the last KJ was fired. I didn't know what to expect. I was a fairly regular customer there before and didn't know how the karaoke situation would play out. Upon my arrival I was greeted by the owner who explained some details to me about the KJ change that I was unaware of. He also stated he cared about my experience and wanted me to have a good time. Sukis changed its seating layout slightly since my last visit and obviously the new KJ who seems rather calm is nice and she does have a decent selection of songs. The sound system balancing wasn't quite as locked in since as a singer it was hard to hear yourself while singing. I don't blame her however since the crowd was shifting and very loud. Bartenders were nice and one even welcomed me back and told me he hoped I'd come back and give them another chance. At the end of the experience Sukis has proven that they are centered around the guest experience and has won my business back. While I am just one in the sea of many it speaks loudly when they take the time to win back loyal patrons. 2nd review: I am editing my review after hearing about the firing of KJ Chris Green. A bar that's theme is centric around karaoke is dependent on the talent of said KJ. You can read my original 5-star review below, however, now I must give this bar a 1-star rating. Why? Because now there is no reason to go back. Karaoke hosts are a dime a dozen, but Chris not only had entertainment value, but one of the largest song selections to pick from. This allowed for a plethora of different performances which made Sukis unique. I am saddened by his removal and cannot support a management staff that makes these decisions. I first visited Sukis two years ago during a work outing, and it was Chris who made me want to come back. Not the bartenders, not the food, not the drinks, but the unique karaoke. Bad move Sukis.... bad move. My original review: I have been coming to this bar for over a year now and I have yet to have a bad time here. KJ Chris Green is one of (if not the best) KJ host I have had to pleasure of being around (I've sang In Seattle, NY, LA, SF, ORLANDO, etc). I'm saddened by some of the reviews earlier, but truth be told he sings once every couple hours SOMETIMES well... because he can. He does what he does because he loves karaoke... so why not let him sing a couple of times? Dear God you have to wait 4 more minutes to sing and listen to someone who is actually good at it? Please. Anyways, the bartenders are awesome and friendly and some of the best times are had here. It's not flashy, but it's a darn good place to spend your time and see some awesome singers! If there is one improvement to make it would be is to have the cocktailers smile more ;-)

It was my first time here yesterday and I had a very positive experience. The bar is very spacious inside with three main sections for seating (billiards, open seating by bar, and then open seating next to/in front of karaoke). The KJ had every song we were looking to sing and had good transition music between songs to keep the vibe going. Favorite drink I tried was the Huckleberry Lemonade. Tastes very sweet and dangerously delicious. Happy hour menu was legit including cocktails, wells, and decent bar food. I had the fries which were well seasoned. You didn't have to pay for parking because you can park in the lot right next to the bar. BIG BONUS for a Portland bar. I plan on going back again!

Love this place! I popped in for some drinks and karaoke with friends and we had a blast. The sound system was great and they had all the songs we wanted. I wasn't suuuuuuper impressed with the beer selection on tap. There really wasn't a huge selection. I enjoy a bitter brew with a high abv and not all bars cater to my taste buds. Also the guy who checked my I.d. at the door was kind of creepy. He was hiding in a booth and chased me and my friend down to check our ids. He was very serious and kept looking at me like I was up to something. Im clearly not a teenager handing over a fake. Chill dude. Like I don't need that kind of chi when I first step into a bar. Anyway, really loves my experience over all and will definitely be back to sing some Barbra.

Driven by this place 10,000 times. Never knew it was a nice little place to grab a beer or snack. They even show UFC fights and most other sports. Will be back.

Good bacon cheeseburger!!! Way better than most bar burgers I've ever had. A variety of beers as well. Spacious with pool tables and lots of tvs to come in for any sports event. Overall a nice and comfy spot

Suki's is exactly what you'd want in a dive bar - it looks like it should reek of cigarette smoke and broken dreams...but it doesn't! They do, though, have lottery machines. Great drinks, really great fries, great service, great patio seating. I really have no complaints. For a sugar/liquor overload, try the Huckleberry Lemonade. Mmmm! Thanks for getting me inebriated, Suki's!

The food is pretty good. Ashely is the best. Cool group of regulars and fun for happy hour.

Super fun night with the Karaoke but the wait staff was super judgmental. I run a bar in LA so i get dealing with customers, but the way Ashely, the bartender handled herself was rude and disrespectful. If you live off tips you shouldn't be a Bitch. 5 minutes after I poster that review (i was still in the bar)) Ashley (bartender) whom apparently reads her Yelp reviews while she is working, cane to my table and took my drinks away. Pretty funny. We still had a great time: maybe even enjoyed it more after knowing how unhappy it made her:)

Don't wear your best white jeans here. Yep. It's a dive bar folks and that means it doesn't pass the "white glove test." No problem as I have other jeans I can wear. Or, as it so happens as it was New Year's Eve, I was wearing a Little Black Dress. This was stop number 3 (I think) on the Barfly New Year's Eve party bus tour. Some folks took advantage of the karaoke that this bar is known for. Me and my crew, we took full advantage of some more boozy goodness and Suki's served it up strong. I noticed that Suki's does have a Happy Hour Monday to Friday from 4-8 PM, and 10 PM to 12 AM Sunday to Thursday. I like that he Happy Hour runs late. Most menu items are Asian inspired. I dig that kind of food so I may check it out some time if I'm in the neighborhood and if I'm with folks that like to do karaoke, and drink. 2014 - Review # 3

This is my watering hole. Karaoke nearly every week night. Trivia on Monday nights and all the sports on the tvs. What is not to like? This bar is incredibly dive-y. Soooooo divey. That's also the charm. There is a free pool table, gambling machines (a Portland thing?), Ample seating, and decent food. About as comfortable as you can get outside of your home. The karaoke here is so much fun. Lights dim, colored disco lights, fog machines, and drunk singers. Recipe for the best night ever. Lucky for me, it's just down the road. They have many local breweries in tap and even have the Portland cider Kinda dry (it's actually kinda sweet but whatever). A big deal for me is that they have fresh squeezed from deschutes on tap... ALL THE TIME. That blows my mind. Beside the great tap choices they have a full bar and canned ciders/beers. Everyone is covered at this local spot. The food has not been incredibly disappointing which is nice for a bar. The quesadillas, burgers, and blat have all served me well. They also have creme brulee which is my favorite dessert of all time. If in the SW area of Portland and interested in a fun night out I really, really recommend this bar. It's definitely made this transplant feel at home.

I love the food at Suki's. I've been in a few times with friends. However the service is so bad I may never come back. A few months ago I sat at a table waiting for acknowledgement or a menu and only was taken care of when my party moved to the bar, the bartender apologized and all was well. This last visit I sat at a table spitting distance from the bar (no other tables were occupied) and waited for a greeting or menu. Didn't happen because the female bartender/server was chatting up a friend (?) or off duty employee, whatever, standing at the end of the bar. After waiting a reasonable time, I walked out. I missed out on good food, employee missed out on a $6-8 tip. This place really needs to step up its service.

Worst place by far in Portland to have happy hour! I'd been here once before...10 years ago...and wondered why I never returned. By a coworker asked if I'd have a drink and I said sure, why not. Thinking there was something I'd like. Nope! Customer service 1 Food selection 3 Drinks 2 Price 8 Taste -100 Environment 5 To begin with nobody tells you that you have to go to the bar to place your order...so you're waiting to be greeted until you realize no ones coming to take your order bitch. Menu was price reasonably! Food selection not bad. So we order and wait, watching the game sipping on weak drinks! You know your drink is weak when you gulp it down thinking it was water! About 20 minutes later my food arrives...COLD...sitting on the counter for at least an hour cold. And my coworker wasn't even given the right order. The waitress was nice but reminded me of Janis Joplin back in the 70s...fried brains & eggs! I wasnt going to complain about the cold food but then she came back and I Asked her if it was supposed to be cold because maybe I didn't realize I was ordering cold chicken tacos and cold calamari She grinned and said no. Then I had to proceed to ask if she could make it over. She agreed and 10 minutes later I did receive the same cold food. Never again my stomach hurt all night long

Oh, Suki's. I'm not 100% sure how to feel about you. Yes, it's a dive bar (I love dive bars, so no worries there.) But there is something... missing. Or... something!? Okay, let's just get to it: -Quite possibly one of the best Bloody Mary's I've ever had. (Made by Michael.) It was, however, very, VERY salty. At first I regretted not asking for a salted rim, but after a few sips I realized it would have been overkill. But it was stiff and delicious. -HH until 8pm, and the food was good. Not great, but good. The tator tots ($2 for a basket during HH) also seemed overly salty (and I like salty), but cooked to perfection. My friend enjoyed her potstickers (you can get them steamed or fried). They gave me so many fries with my polish dog (which I enjoyed) that I couldn't finish them (and I think the meal was $3?) My bf got the burger, he said it was basic, but good. That also came with a pile of fries for $4. -Open mic comedy night was pretty funny. It's open mic, so you're gonna get some really bad comedians mixed with some really good ones. But overall, good times. (Although it would have been better if they started on time. It IS on a Tuesday and some people, *ahem* have to work in the morning.) ;) -Free pool! -The bartenders that we dealt with were hella cool, and served a nice, stiff drink. Brad made me a Black Opal that my (former) bartender friend said "Oh! That is too light! It has too much alcohol! Do you want me to get something to mix with it?!" Umm. No. Thankyouverymuch. Yum nums. On the downside: -The whole place smelled like a bathroom. -Then I went to the bathroom and discovered why! The bathrooms smell worse than any port-a-potty I have ever been in. WHY? Why, Suki's?! It's gross. Fix it. Please? -$2.25 PBR's, even during happy hour? Really? I mean, I know it's still cheap for a tall boy, but in a city with $1 PBR nights in bars all over town (especially weeknights, which was when we were here), can't you at least lower your price to, say, $1.50 during happy hour? I dunno. I think it'd be nice. -And then there's that "something" that I can't quite put my finger on... Maybe it's the layout of the place? But there is a sort of disjointed feeling about it all. Anyway. All in all, I'd say in a city that has so many fantastic bars/options for happy hours and karaoke and pool... I don't think I have any reason to go back to Suki's. I wouldn't *not* go back. But I wouldn't personally make any special plans to go there, either.

I was staying at a hotel a few blocks away and I used the Yelp app looking for a cool bar. Most of the ratings were great but there were a few ratings that were low having to do with some ex KJ that was no longer with the bar. Well that's just BS. Sour grapes from what I can see. I went to this bar in anticipation of great food, good drink prices, karaoke and atmosphere. I was not disappointed. I got there just before 9 on a Friday. I sat at the bar and ordered a BLAT with onion rings. Great food. My drink of choice was Pendleton on the rocks. I was offered a choice of small cubes or one big cube. Big cube of course. Dinner, three drinks and a couple of bears I bought came to $29.00 Great value. Once I closed out my first ticket I made many new friends and stayed for the karaoke which got crazy. It started out as solos but by the end of the night the dance floor was loaded with everyone singing anthems. And a special shout out to Summer the bar keep! Even though I am from Vegas I will make a special point to go back.

Edit- Found out that the KJ I would see is no longer at the establishment. Not interested in going back. I live in Los Angeles, but Suki's is my go-to karaoke bar when I visit Portland. The drinks are decently priced (and I can get a cider on tap), the other customers are generally pretty pleasant, and the KJ is funny. I see a lot of people complaining that other are bribing their way to a better spot in the queue to sing, but that's just how it is at most places, even down in LA. People who are willing to throw down money to sing are more likely to throw down money at the bar. It does kinda suck, but businesses want to keep them happy.

SUKIS IS THE BEST! The bartenders are always friendly, fast, and kind, and the KJ Chris is hilarious and extremely talented and fun. My favorite drink is the Tokyo Tea and it is by far the best Karaoke bar to go to. Chopsticks and other places generally has a bunch of stupid hipsters that go to it, but you get some regulars at Suki's as well as people coming in to have a good time. If you're looking to come in and sing a bunch I recommend coming on Wednesday or Thursday, but if you're looking for a party scene Friday or Saturday is great, too! I find Becca's review extremely inaccurate, border lining verbal garbage. Chris is fantastic. And he's one of the most progressive people i've met. As a young woman, and all the young women I know...I feel safe, happy, and welcomed at this environment.

Awesome KJ on Wednesday night when I met some friends for Karaoke. Food was slightly better than expected. Bar tender was super nice and was our server too. I expected the place to be a dump from what it looks like on the outside but I was pleasantly surprised, it smelled fine, no residual smoke from past glory days. Lots of space for sitting at tables or the bar, playing some pool or video games, not sure if there were darts, but I probably missed them, seems like the kind of place that would have darts. Restroom was even okay. Best of all, they have a parking lot. So in review, It is a dive bar, but it ain't a dump. I'll go back for Karaoke anytime my friends are up for it.

Horrible bartenders with no manners or good customer service. Not only were the bartenders rude throughout our time there- we had one come up and grab a drink from my friends hand- because they decided that she was cut off. I have never experienced this before- and especially when she was sitting there just listening to Karaoke- I might understand if there was ruckus. When I walked up to the bartenders and asked they were super rude about it all- and gave no reason for grabbing the drink out of her hand. There are numerous good bars in town- and I will not be returning due to how we were treated.

So let me tell you what. This place is awesome. I've been going there every week on Wednesday for almost two months now. The food is great. The staff is fun and great to talk to. Hell even the bouncer phill is a cool dude. Instantly when I walked into the bar I knew I was going to have a great time. I'm not much of a drinker but I am a singer. So when I heard this place had karaoke I was stocked! And then I met the KJ and just knew that this was the place to be. He's fun, nice, easy to start a conversation with and just all around super understanding. If you say you have to leave soon he'll make sure that your taken care of and singe before you have to go. (If your nice) if your a stuck up bitch than you get your ass shut down. He really is one of the sweetest guys I know and has become a good friend. I'm welcomed in with open arms even though I don't drink. So if you really wanna have some fun and karaoke go to suki's. He has so many songs! So there is a wide verity to choose from. Amazing singers go to Suki's. There everyone is a great singer. Everyone is out to have a great time and sing till their voice hurts. So go see KJ Chris Green he's fucking awesome.

An "old Portland" bar that we hope survives all of the city's gentrification and changes. We've only had breakfasts here and the menu has a nice variety. Unfortunately, the food quality and service can be hit-and-miss. Don't go if you're in a hurry. Today's breakfast for three was tepid and mediocre, but we will go back and try again. Overall, we give it a good, not great, rating, but we hate to criticize a solid "dive" bar. There are so few left in the city.

Suki's is my favorite place to do karaoke in all of Portland. I love it so much. I've always felt welcome, the other bar-goers always seem into it, and the drinks are pretty reasonably priced. The KJ is the best. He is friendly and funny! There are 10 other bars you could go to for Karaoke on a Friday night, but Suki's is the only place I know will have any song I want, and I am guaranteed to sing within the hour. If you have a bad experience at this bar, it's your own fault, because this place is the best. I'll always come back!
