Quality dive with a decent beer selection. Not a lot of food, but a good Portland vibe with cool art, and nice bartenders.

My favorite bar in town. The cash only keeps the dummies at bay and the patio is the best ever.

Fun and Quirky roadside dive bar in the heart of one SE Portland! You almost have to know it's here to find it. Great tap options, greasy bar food, fantastic prices! Great hangout factor even when it's cold and gray!

This place was a surprise. I wouldn't say it was amazing but it was perfect for me and my friends. The ambience was chill and homey. Kind of dive-y but in a good way. There is a lot to look at and explore inside and out. They have a nice outside garden seating area. I imagine is very nice in the summer. You order at the bar and they bring to you. Food was pretty basic. Some dogs and sandwiches, salad, and sides. Drinks were good and everything was reasonably priced. I would say it's a good spot to hang before going to a show and grab a quick bite and drink.

This is such a great spot to come in, sit under the beautiful foliage and trees, all while having a nice cold beer and a stiff shot of liquor at one of the coolest neighborhood bars we could find in PDX. This is such a cool little spot that I could not get enough of and made sure to have enough cash to be able to keep the beers flowing and even partake in some of their tasty snacks and food they have on the menu at the bar. We ended up having a couple of great and filling hotdogs along with some good mac and cheese for some late night eats after exploring Portland during the day. All the nooks and crannies of spots to hang out in this bar is what charmed me to keep wanting to come back! Although parking can be difficult (street and neighborhood parking) it was all worth it when we walked in and we couldn't get our eyes off of the knick knacks and decor around the bar. Bartenders and server was super friendly and attentive. I love the whole idea of having cash only bar in the neighborhood. It allows me to keep a low profile of my late night eats and drinks from my debit/credit card account. HEHE! This spot is worth brining all of your friends, ordering some cool cocktails, and enjoying the Portland weather under some cool and unique and eclectic decor at one of the most unique bars I have ever seen.
