I've always wanted to try Port O' Pints because their food looked so amazing on their Facebook posts. I'm not a beer drinker but I'm sure the beer is good as the bar was mostly full. I think I read that Port O' Pints has a new owner but I thought things were the same when it came to the menu. Well, I was wrong. There is a small pub menu. Be aware that you'll be charged 5% more if you don't pay with cash. We ordered a pub salad and their pizza special. The waitress took our order and brought us two ice teas. We ordered one ice tea and a coke so she fixed it. We got our pub salad (served on paper in a basket) and an extra plate (paper) to share - which absorbed my vinaigrette and left a nice oily puddle on the table. When the waitress came to clear away the salad plates she acted surprised that we hadn't been brought our pizza. She looked at the order she put in and apparently the cook didn't get the order. Something about paper running out of the ticket machine - I don't know. She apologized and the man in the back - I'm assuming the cook - brought out a couple more paper plates - with a nice long eyebrow hair sitting atop the plate - and told us the pizza would be up soon. The pizza arrived and was pretty good Hawaiian with a sweet chili sauce. It seemed it could have been cooked a little longer but they probably hurried it along to make up for lost time. Sooo...not impressed with the food. The place is dark and dingy and they're were some irritating flies buzzing around our heads. Probably just a good beer drinking place and a place to meet up with your beer drinking friends.

We were also treated to the Sweet Chili Hawaiian Pizza for critique, what an amazing pizza!! Anson works his magic, and creates something spectacular, yumyum. And here is to Sean, a great bartender, keep on keepin on

The place is great when the manager isn't working. He appears to dislike his job and displays his annoyance about having to take do it. I will likely avoid going in the future when he is there. Bummer.

Where to begin? This place is a godsend. After car trouble on the 199 our spirits were low. The people of Port 'o Pints made us feel so at home with ciders, nachos, and a pizza (all delicious, by the way)! Thank you to everyone who helped us back on our feet, and a special thank you to Cynthia for your kindness and generosity. We'd be back again and again if we could!

I was disappointed in the food and experience, beginning with VERY limited menu options--but I sense this is more of a drinking destination than a place to enjoy a meal. Our lunch was served on one paper plate with no utensils. Much of the dough on my pizza was uncooked, and my husband's meatball sandwich came with nothing. For the price I expected a bit of slaw, pickle, chips, something. There is no server and during our lunch we listened to management discussing employees and other business while appearing to do their work at the bar. The bartender was friendly. I enjoyed a small beer that was good. It just didn't meet my customer experience standards, especially for the price.

Our new years experience was very cute 2 years in a row here. Friendly staff with solid consistent bar service. Haven't tried the food but will be back for it!

I was very excited to check this place out for the first time. I've lived in crescent City over a year now and have heard wonderful things. I was a bit uneasy about the price of food ($16 for a sandwich) and was even more uneasy when it was ready. We got a brewben and an Italian sandwich. They were a decent size but not decent for the price. They were pretty dry, I don't know how, maybe not enough sauce? The Italian was so hard my boyfriend had to struggle to bite into it. Also, there was no side of any kind, no fries or chips. Sodas come in a can. The atmosphere was friendly, but very dark and loud. I understand this is a place for people to get drunk, however being a pub means more than just a place to drink. Will probably not be going back. Staff was friendly, but service was quite slow. The beers are good.

The pretzel you had at the fair or the Renaissance fest, the one that left you wanting?! It’s because this is where the pretzel you seek resides.They have the most perfect and complete pretzel you can imagine.Not to mention their lovely list of in-house brews that are not your status quo. You must try at least 3 while you're here.Also the staff here seem like a nice lil family. Great vibes.This place rules.

Management is rude, bartenders are boring, and the new owner is inappropriate around females to say the least... what happened to the fun female bartenders?

Good stop when in the area. Friendly locals, good service, cold brews and delicious food.
The food tasted alright but left me with severe food poisoning a few hours later, which put me in the restroom for a few days. I would not recommend eating there at all.

Don’t be deceived by the oddly high ratings like I was, this place is horrifying. Extremely uncomfortable atmosphere, we would have left but were driving through town and needed to eat. Food was terrible. Server was incompetent.

For the extravert that likes a nice pub atmosphere, Port O'Pints is the place to go. They have some amazing brews (made locally) and when they added on the kitchen and expanded the air of the place only grew with them. The outdoor bistro seating and covered awnings are an awesome touch, plus all the interior design is great. Really feels like I'm back in Ireland when I visit.Parking: Not many actual slots on the property, though there is quite a bit of room on the side street behind, and a lot that is frequently used just across the street. Port O'Pints is one of those places in town you could walk to, (not terribly close to City Center, but a great walk all the same. It's near historical Crescent City, so swing on by and grab a pint!

The french dip was great (try the irish dip) and have corn beef in your dip instead of roast beef not on the menu but they will make it that way for ya . The Irish red beer was tasty. Folks were
