    The patio out back is great. On a hot evening, when so may patios are baking in the last rays of hot sun, this was nicely shaded. And the have Wandering Angus cider, so two thumbs up.

    Large room, dark ambiance and lighting which makes it appealing for a pre or post dinner drink. Cocktails are solid, as are the nibbles to accompany them.

    Beautiful architecture, decent drinks, but it sure brings out a certain type. The beer pong probably doesn't help...

    Patio like you wouldn't believe. Ping pong tables, great music & ample seating. Drinks are strong as hell and food served late night. The fondue is delish, huge & cheap for a large group.

    big n empty early (if you have a big group of your own, go for it), big and hopping late; with a huge, partially covered outdoor outback (with ping pong), fun times (oh, and a tiny fireplace inside)

    Inside has a great vibe for winter, but if its even semi-nice out, head out back to one of the best patios in Portland. Huge fireplace, an awesome ping pong table, and a speedier bar

    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.

    Probably one of my favorite bars in town. Spacious, great patio if it's a clear night (go to Sizzle Pie next door late night for pizza)

    Great outdoor patio, w/ pong pong, fireplaces, picnic tables. Inside is very industrial w/ concrete everywhere & shabby chic 60's & 70's retro furniture. Great food @ happy hour cost, awful service!

    It gets really crowded on the weekends. Be sure to get there early and be prepared to grab a table outside.

    $4.50 French Dip sandwich comes with mixed greens salad even during happy hour. Really amazing deal and delicious cocktails to boot!

    Okay happy hour menu, huge back patio, a portion of which is covered and the interior is modern and frankly, a little cold. The fireplace makes up for all that, though and the staff is efficient.

    Cock and Bull Ginger Beer is the real deal. Order Whisky Gingers or Fernet w/Ginger with impunity!

    Hipster central, their website is whack, but the music is awesome, good drink prices, but you gotta be in the know, or how would you know?

    Weakest drinks ever. I would be embarrassed to serve the drink I was just handed.
