Called and conveniently spoke with the owner who helped make the impossible happen. Amazing and super friendly. Live music is incredible. I live in Florida... Never stepped 1 foot in here, yet, I know it's amazing based on the customer service. Go! Have fun!

Love this place. It’s a great local bar with good drinks, great music, and even Euchre! Now they’re even offering food Thursday through Sunday. Check out their Facebook pages for menus and nightly happenings. The bartenders are great. I especially love how supportive this bar is of the local community.

Sweet spot, live music, and a great logo. Endless graffiti in bathroom, can't get bored. Tall boys, drafts, and all the fixns plus happy gilmore on the tv

I've never eaten here, but the service and atmosphere are top-notch if you're looking for a real Portland dive bar. Great themes that everyone is into. All around, good folks, patrons, and staff alike. You'll leave in better spirits than you walked in with.

This place really undersells itself with their slogan "the most okest bar in Portland", because in reality they are much better than that. Great atmosphere, service, and lots of live music. It's my number one local bar, and I can't recommend it highly enough. 10/10

The place is owned by two very awesome people and the bartenders are just as rad. The bar itself is small and cozy always clean. Not really a food-centric bar but they do have some amazing pop up menus sometimes from local food carts and such. It's also DOG FRIENDLY which is rad! There's tables out front but no patio and the patrons are usually super friendly. One of my favorite local haunts for sure.
