    This was my first meal in Portland and it did not disappoint! I was in search of a vegan and gluten free meal and found this thru my search! Walking up to it, I was a little skeptical and going inside was even more questionable because I don't typically expect good food from a bar but holy crap! My vegan chicken sandwich on a gluten-free bun was fantastic! It was well flavored, and fresh and hot! Also gluten-free were the tator tots fried to perfection and crispy! I am so glad I did not judge this place by the outside and gave it a chance. I wish I had more time because I would have tried more items throughout my trip. Highly recommend, especially if you have food allergies or intolerances. The bartender was really friendly and helpful as well and provided great service!

    I came through on a Thursday at 3PM with coworkers after a team building activity. I actually suggested this place because of such a fantastic experience I had previously, and one of my coworkers had mentioned vegan food (making me think she was vegan...but she wasn't). I was really hoping to get an early dinner here, but it turned out the crowd was targeting more snacks and drinks. I ended up not drinking because I knew I'd be parking on the freeway very shortly afterward, but everyone else had a little libation. The folks that had flown in were impressed with the local brew they ordered (I didn't catch what they had), and another coworker had ordered a mimosa that was served in a pint glass! For food, we ordered all the bar staples: wings (both bbq and buffalo), a big basket of fries, a big thing of tots, and nachos. One of my coworkers hadn't had vegan food before (or maybe he had but just never wings before). When he dove in, he couldn't believe that it wasn't really chicken! I'm not sure what the "bone" for the wing is made from at this restaurant, but another coworker said it was some kind of sugar cane. I couldn't tell what it was myself, but it didn't seem like sugar cane. The thing that really stood out to me was the nachos. I'm not vegan, but have issues with dairy, and it took me a bit to realize that I could have these. They are unbelievable! So good, and really you can't tell at all that you're missing anything from a non-vegan dish. They're piled high with "cheese", "meat" and they also have jalapeños on them. The overall vibe of this place is typical Portland dark bar - the bathrooms are fully graffitied, and there's a music venue to one side.

    I can't believe I've never reviewed here. I love the vibe, and it's super cozy. All the staff are super friendly, and the food is mighty tasty. They have a really well-rounded list of taps which is awesome. I always love a place with something for everybody.
