Hutchie T.Seattle, WA0121110/8/2022Bands, take note: THIS PLACE HAS A GEAR ELEVATOR. Super helpful. Kathy was so attentive and wonderful, she made the whole process extremely easy. Justin did a great job on sound, even with a five piece band with banjo (beyond the lamplight) which is not very easy. This place is a total gem, we will totally play here again!
5936369710/24/2021Great staff! The upstairs was pretty dead but the downstairs had a bunch of people. The bartender downstairs had a great attitude a strong pour. You don't usually find both of thise things in a downtown bar. They have a handful of pinball machines and a pool table. It was a great place to have some drinks and talk with friends.
On our way out the bartender upstairs thanked us for coming in and told us to be safe.
Alex O.Las Vegas, NV0412/7/2022Updated reviewThis place sucks. The bartender is definitely on meth and I saw her smoking in the alley
12/7/2022Previous reviewI'm pretty sure whoever is running the bar is on some pretty hard drugs because I literally ordered one shot and tipped the bartender. I came back about 10 minutes later to have another shot and I was accused of stealing cups. Like what the fuck?? Why would I steal a cup in the first place and secondly why would I come back if I stole cups. The fact of the matter is that I feel like this chick has some type of vendetta or is on some type of hard drugs because I literally walked over to the sink just to clarify that the cops that I stacked after I took the shots were there. I looked in the sink and the two shot glasses one from the shot and the other from the chaser were literally sitting right there. She denied it and then told me that I stole some cups. Like what the fuck I've never even dealt with anything like this in my entire life. What a fucking dump and why don't you get someone to run your bar and not a tweaker who's fucking accusing people of stealing cups this place is straight trash don't go here
181543464/18/2020Came here after sight seeing. This was a cool bar, dark but it was calming. Great drinks, friendly bartender that was very friendly. Food smelled amazing but we had already eaten.
It got busy with a college to young adult crowd. We didn't stay long but they had plenty of space inside. Street parking. Central to a lot of things. Great place to come in and warm up on a cold February day.
60413851064012/7/2019This bar has been around for as long as I can remember. It may look like nothing much on the outside, but is actually a chill bar with an open space on the bottom floor. It has a lot of history to it. It's a pretty chill place to have a drink and hangout with friends. I ordered a greyhound and it was made with fresh squeezed grapefruit. A good refreshing drink after eating greasy food.

It's supposed to be open, but it's nearly 7pm on a Wednesday, and it's locked up tight as a drum.
Reyea S.Richmond, Portland, OR11421/6/2020This place has a cool atmosphere BUT the bartender with two long hair braids and a beard can literally go FHS. We ordered two canned beers and planned on getting food but we wanted a drink while we decided on what to eat. A 6 dollars tab doesnt call for a fat tip. When my boyfriend went up to order food THE BARTENDER REFUSED TO SERVE US -BC WE DIDNT TIP ON THE FIRST ROUND.
First of all that isnt a rule, secondly are you kidding me? Are you bending over backwards to get me a cold beer, crack it, and set it on the bar?? I dont think so honey, I work in food service and that's to be expected. I would have gladly grabbed my own beer. Big double braided toad, you are not deserving of a tip when u crack me a cold one. We were planning to give a tip for the food regardless..
If this employee has mental issues- you should rethink your hiring/employment bc that is unacceptable. They should be in the back sweating instead of treating customers like shit. cause I sure as hell havent come back. Hes rude and let's a nasty taste in my mouth.
William T.Anchorage, AK24535/18/2019Big dive bar guy here.
Bartender downstairs, long hair, long beard, was wearing an Indiana Jones hat. Literally a character out of Portlandia.
First bar we pop into. We order a round of beers, take a shot with him, and are making small talk. I had already left 20% tip.
Then we ask him where in Portland he likes to skate.
He pulls our beers and begins yelling at us. "WOULD I COME INTO YOUR ESTABLISHMENT AND ASK WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO"
At which point we ask him what he meant and try and deescalate the situation. Ive worked at dives before and know how to deal with ornery bartenders. He yells us out of the bar and threatens to not give me my phone back that was charging.
We asked the bouncer what the deal was. He apologized and said he's got mental health problems or something.
Loved the bar. Bartender was psycho. Fire his ass.
Chris V.Doral, FL9919159/18/2019They say open till 2 am. Showed up at midnight after long day at work.
Up stairs bar. I was told one and done?
Downstairs bar. Lydia say hurry cuz I'm kicked you you out at 1. Got 3 min for a beer. ????? Ok thanks
37431295712/5/2017This place is dark and gritty. Just the way I like it. Located beneath the streets of Portland, it's fun to imagine the days they actually used the tunnels to smuggle whatever it is they smuggled. Full bar, pool table and plenty of seats. This is a must see while visiting Ptown
