25 Best Bar & Grill near Gladstone

“Just moved to the area I live half a mile away thought I’d try the place expected a hole in the wall, but was pleasantly surprised. Walked in and was greeted immediately by a nice smile and the lovely bartender. Her husband is the cook. His name is Bob and I apologize I can’t remember her name. They cooked my fish the way I like it light gold brown. It was lightly breaded and tasty! atmosphere was light and inviting. I will definitely be back weekly.“

“We were pleasantly surprised to find this little gem while visit my niece in portland. My sis is a vegetarian so the food choices worked for all of us. The bartender was very friendly attentive and accommodating. Also the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Perfect little spot for a drink and a bite!“

“Absolutely loved dining here before our concert at crystal ballroom. With the venue right around the corner it was a great spot to sit at the bar get cocktails and have a REALLY yummy dinner. I highly recommend the fried Brussel sprouts (they are gf) and the steak salad was also yummy ! Can’t wait to come “

“Great neighborhood dive - with great atmosphere and staff. My wife and I don't get to come here too often with young kids, but when we do we have a great time! Decent tap selection, haven't eaten here in years but it was solid from “

“Went around 7pm on a Monday evening. Not many around, which made the evening relaxed. The staff were great. Descent selection on the menu. Food was delivered promptly. Prices aren't too high and they had a kids menu.Parking: Parking lot can fill quickly...we got one of the last spots near restaurant so didn't need to look far.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly menu...pic attached.“

“Mighty Moe's Tanker is such a beautiful little spot! It's a little small, but even when I have seen it packed out, it wasn't uncomfortable at all! People are respectful, bartenders are darling, and the owner Moe is such a gem! It is all family vibe! I started regularly going when I was going through a super hard time and they were my safe space and comforting support! ?“

“It's kind of a idk, run down joint but the people that go there are really kewl and the bartenders are very friendly. I won 200 off of a twenty in one of their machines and now they are my favorite spot! I didn't eat there so idk about the food. Go there for the atmosphere!“

“My wife and I stopped in this past weekend for a late lunch in the bar. We could not have been more pleased with the experience. Excellent service, great atmosphere, and good food. The staff was super friendly. We had a great time - wished we could have stayed longer. Alot of similar establishments in the PNW do not come close to Backstop for the level of service and welcoming staff.“

“Going to start strong with cost effectiveness and ambiance, prices most commonly range from 4.75-8 dollars. Thursdays are all day happy hour, and each drink has over 2 oz of the hard alcohol added! Willing to make tall w/out cost increase. Best lemon drops (I always ask for a lot of sugar since I can't handle the taste of alcohol) and only 3.75 during happy hour, Malibu's are only 5.50!Really nice bartender, gives great suggestions, and is so nice they'll cook fries up until 11:30pm! I always leave a little more than tipsy during happy hour with 11.25 dollars of drinks under my belt (3 drinks). At most, it would cost 15 for drinks and 7 for a full thing of fries. Amazing service and relaxed atmosphere (I usually go around 11pm, but I recommend more than an hour to properly access billiards and other activities). Their music leans into a rock vibe, it's the only bar I've been to that makes me feel 100% comfortable.They have shuffle board, billiards, darts, and video poker. The lighting is darker with many TVs, and a lot of the furniture works amazing with the ambiance of the lighting. Overall 10/10! I recommend this to anyone who leans more introverted, I recommend going early if you want more people to talk to, but otherwise, come within the last 2.5 hours for a more introverted friendly experience. It's also 21+.Make sure to tip your bartender well. They seriously deserve it! (Each time I've gone, there's only been one bartender, I'll update with proper pronouns once I get informed. I struggle with being personal level social until after a couple of visits)“

“At this point I'll call myself a regular, my husband and I love this place and it's the only place in the neighborhood that dose the chicken fried steak, and their garlic toast, yummm! The bartenders are so sweet and attentive, easy to conversate with and usually it's pretty laid back here, sure it can get loud at times, but what bar can't, right?;I love this place so much I'd work here... Lol ❤️“

“Great place!! All the bartenders are solid from my experience! Karaoke DJ/ DJ is always solid and willing to help out! Food is definitely tasty from tots to burgers it's always great!! I rarely score places like this but they've been good to me and anyone I've brought in.Parking: Plenty of open spots during the evening hours a little less from late afternoon to evening and later evenings so much parking!! If you look you will find a parking spot.“

“We have been wanting to try their Thursday seafood nite and finally made it. We had a lobster dinner and the hand battered halibut dinner and both were very good and filling. Reasonable prices and friendly service. Will definitely go back!!!“

“Favorite bar in Portland. The food is always great, friendly people, and it's nice and cozy inside. The smash burger is pretty decadent in my opinion; really good if you want something that will fill you up and then some. Recently had the Parmesan garlic fries - they were really good but you are going to want to drink to help wash these down.“

“It's a dive but a cozy, nice, dive. They have karaoke on some nights. Whoever is the chef right now made the BEST burger and caesar salad! I got the Lay Low burger and it was legit so fire! I wanna go back again today and order the same thing lol. Maybe it was the tequila making me feel some type of way, but I ended up tipping the chef personally. FI-RE! Oh, and stiff drinks“

“Been visiting a few years now.Great happy hour food menu.One of my go to's is the White Cheddar Mac & Cheese made with cavatappi noodles and white cheddar cheese (like home-made).I add the grilled chicken on top.Well....menu changed to boxed mac & cheese, so disappointing!!!!The grilled chicken helped flavor but the noodles.....you know, wimpy noodles from a box.Too bad!First photo is of recent mac and cheese...notice the elbow noodles and the cheese sauce.The second and third photos are of previous mac and cheese orders with cavatappi noodles and real cheese.Parking: Tight parking spaces but lots of them“

“The sandwiches and burgers here are so phenomenal I've been thinking about them for days after. There are a variety of beer styles -- not just IPAs -- and the beers on tap are excellent. If you're looking for a large tap list or frequent new things to try this isn't the place to go.“

“Just moved to the neighborhood a few months ago and found this gem across the street. Didn't expect to feel so welcome at a bar where the walls have elk heads mounted along with old shotguns above the urinal. Never judge a book by it's cover. Try the chowder on Fridays and the collards on any day!“

“For a tavern type place this is 5 star. Small and quirky. Funky bar top, a pool table and a pretty diverse set of slots, this is a good midday stop. Cheeseburger, chicken fried steak, onion rings and tots were all good. Will swing by again when we are in the area.“

“Me, my son, my sister from Arizona and her partner went here to have some drinks so we could spend some time together. It was a great little bar. My son and I live in Vancouver but my sister was staying at my brother's in Mulino so I found this little place, the bartender was very sweet, she was extremely busy and doing her best to keep up with everyone cause it was the day before the 4th of July. My sister wants me to go back and get 2 tank tops and a t-shirt to send to them because they liked the bar so much. It was a place that we will definitely revisit.“

“Hands down, best Prime Rib Dip (French Dip)of my life. Could take or leave the mozzarella sticks and fried pickles. But the prime rib dip so far out shadows the mediocrity of the sides that it deserves a 5/5. The huckleberry lemon drop was also exceptional and the vodka tonic fully met my expectations. But the Tuesday special prime rib dip was so good I’ll be back just for that! Service was also exceptionally responsive.Parking: Easy to find a spot on a Tuesday night“

“I’ve visited just a handful of times, but each time the drinks have been excellent, the food yummy, and the service really friendly. Last night was my birthday, and the staff at the Lair were kind enough to accommodate 13 women with a big table and great service (without much advance notice). The Lair is not fancy, and you don’t want it to be. It’s the perfect low-key local hangout where you’re always treated like a regular (even if you’re not). P.S. Evan makes an excellent Bloody Caesar“

“For some reason I always forget just how great Virginia Cafe is. And then I go in and order a drink and a burger and wonder why I’m not here more often. Great food, great atmosphere, great location. What more can you ask for? Seriously, come by for a bite if you are in Downtown Portland at all.“

“Jimmy’s is a great neighborhood spot where everyone is welcome. The bartenders are friendly professionals, they have ALL the sports, including NFL Sunday ticket. No matter the time of year and/or one’s sports preferences, they always know what people want to watch, and have cool vibe tunes playing when there’s not a big game on. The food is mostly average bar food, but the specials and homemade soups are legit. The hand battered chicken tenders are one of my guilty pleasures. Also recommend the hummus plate, and 2 for $4 Taco Thursday ?“

“It's our local neighborhood go to.. for us that are 21 & older only, type establishments, with in walking distance close by our home. Weather or not we're there with a little, or a lot of cash to play the lottery, eat, or just to purchase a pack of cigarettes. We are treated kindly, every time. That's what keeps us coming in as repeat customer's. Thank you, to all the kind staff, for making us feel welcomed.“

“It was 10pm, hanging out with awesome friends, and My Father's Place's breakfast menu is exceptional! Pancakes were the best I've tasted in months!Although my taste buds were outraged by the suppleness of its texture and insulted by its perfect balance of flavors, I kept eating.If that wasn't bad enough, my mouth was straight-up nutted by the rich hot maple syrup and whipped butter in a flanking position so OP, that i had to wash it all down with another Guinness!I had the short stack btw (pictured), and it kicked my a$$, with me doing the splits on it at the end. I regret every decision I've made to avoid this place like a plague, and rightfully so, the person who I thought was the bouncer was just some guy who admired I.D. holograms and liked to play with his pocket flashlight.Overall, the atmosphere is your typical dive bar vibe, with a 5 star chef in the back!I kept the atmosphere rating to 1 because they earned it, and should be proud of such an achievement!Bring friends and tip everyone there!“
