This bar was exceptional - perfectly made drinks and the owner DJ had the patrons party and have a great time. I brought some glow sticks to add to the fun and they were loved. I had the Smokey old fashion and it was awesome. The staff was quick to clean tables and rid the place of bad customers. Security was tight at the front door which was much appreciated. I highly recommend. //ps

Fun bar, went on New Years. The bouncer Shawn (Jolly), was so amazing. Wanted to point out not only his kindness but he also did a great job making it feel safe. Witnessed someone really drunk and he not only checked on them to get home safe but also got them water while she waited for her Uber. 10/10 good people at this bar! :) great security and the bartenders were also so amazing.

I only show up for a beer after work lunches. During the day I like it. Fry bread tacos are awesome! Go tuesday for that. Happy hour 4-6 is nice too.Parking: 3 hour max in most spaces nearby. Beware the 15 minute spots.Wheelchair accessibility: The door is heavy but fairly easy to open and it's on street level. There are some ADA parking spots near, just not in front of it

Only go during the day. The food is pretty good and they have a great liquor selection, great tacos. It's chill and great regulars during the day. BUT the floor is always sticky and the women's bathroom is ALWAYS a mess. Final straw in the bathroom happened today that caused me to post here (see pic).They really need to sort out the consistent bathroom issues but otherwise is a great place.

I have been here about 3 times and I love the selection of whiskeys. Yea this place charges a lil bit, but it's what u get when u go to a fully packed place of spirits. This is the one and only place I've found in all of oregon that has a wide selection of Rye, sour mash, bourbon, flavored, scotch, Irish etc ! I love the selection so much I almost hate it for making me think like this. The only bottle I haven't found is Noah Mills. Sometimes u want to take it to the limit and maybe it's good they don't have it for my sake. To sum up, it's a place to go to drink some great spirits. Some patrons are not tasteful but this review is about the establishment not the swamp monsters that walk in it.

Our bartender Kyle was great,but the cook took for ever making our food and there was 6 orders and they all came out one at a time and the last couples order was brought out after others had finished eating..no excuses for that are good enough.
Seems like the place is under new management and whoever that is has lost interest? A whiskey library that has no idea what they have and no list of whiskeys they have to offer?

My wife and I went there Wednesday around 5:40 pm (8/2/23). There was 1 table that had about 6 customers. There was 1 other person on the bar top eating food. Not busy at all. We were there about 5-6 minutes and the bartender (short blond hair) never came over to help us. She sat behind the bar top and was having a conversation with the the lady eating food even though we were several feet away waiting her to take our order. I know she saw us come in, so that's what made it more frustrating.

The place had a good beer list. Since I was just there to have a beer, that should have been enough.Unfortunately:1) The bartender didn't know the first thing about the beers he was serving. I asked him about styles, and he started telling me where the breweries are located. When I clarified that I was asking about the beers' characteristics, he just shrugged: "I'm not really a beer guy".2) Ick. If I'm at a crowded bar late on a weekend night, I'm more-or-less okay with a moderately disgusting environment. When it's early in the afternoon and I'm apparently one of the first customers of the day, I don't want to feel a sticky surface on the bar. I don't want my feet to stick to the floor while I'm walking to the bathroom.

security always acting weird. they took my 3/4 full drink my friend was watching. not rlly worth it anymore. Lately has not been safe either multiple fights and shootings. It’s been BARE on weekends and for some reason they think raising the entrance and drink price as well as having a dress code would fix that? mid djs as well.
