Bartenders wear a tie, so are probably better dressed than me when I go in, but they don't make a big deal of it. The best happy hour food menu/value in Portland. Old school drink wizards.
High on the fancy factor, as well as, well...height. The place to take an out of town guest to see the city. Spectacular at night. Great happy hour to boot.
Sort of hidden away but the basement bar is solid. Drinks are strong, cheap and the noodle bowls kill!
To get a more authentic English pub, you need to book a flight. Not a fish eater, but those who've had it swear by the fish & chips here. Amazing beer selection, served in proper pints.
It is what it is: an OLD bar, est. in 1902. Don't let all the motorcycles hanging from the ceiling fool you, the service is consistently friendly and the drinks well made. People's prices too!
Irish car bombs and jello shots. You can get totally crunk prior to a show at the Crystal. I know because I have.
Great pub food and beers as well as all Red Sox games and one of the best decks in Portland. Low key on NW Trendy-third Ave.
An unpretentious bar in the heart of the Pearl District. Strong drinks, awesome tunes and the best tots in town.
Fraternity boy crowd, but they have solid drinks, cool atmosphere and ping pong tables! The outside area is a great place on a sunny -or- rainy day.
It is the only bar where I've told the bartender to make me a drink without ordering anything specific. He asked me what kind of liquor I like and a few minutes later I was drinking gin perfection.
