"This was a fun place my buddy and I found walking around Portland. You gotta stop and have a beer here. Nostalgia all the way. Decor is cool and beer is cold. Veronica was great. Locals were very welcoming. I even bought some art while there. Check it out!"

"I accidentally paid for four hours of street parking in downtown and decided to make the best of it by exploring. Came in for a little cider and to my happy surprise this place was beautiful inside and a very friendly bartender. It’s got great energy and will definitely return. I recommend for a nice spot to stop for a beer. Avoid the McMenamins chain restaurant around the corner and head here for a more real feel."

"The perfect bar. Music on point. Pours heavy. Atmosphere appropriately dark. Best Patty Melt I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of them all over. Might go back to Portland just to hit this joint. Proper."

"It’s a dirty little dive bar. I appreciate the generous pour. We stayed for one drink and that was enough. I would visit again, but it’s not a place that I want to hang out at all night. That is just my personal preference. But it is a great low key place for affordable drinks and decent atmosphere."

"We came here after a concert because we were looking for places that still serve food. Scooter McQuades was open till 2am. We ordered Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Chicken Strips with fries at the bar and they served us inside. They all tasted fresh! The fries were a bit too salty but tolerable. I definitely recommend this place for late night food."

"Great place! My daughter and I happen to be downtown at the same time doing different things. We wanted to go and have a drink somewhere for happy hour and my daughter said do you want to go to the best dive Bar downtown? It was great. The atmosphere is welcoming. Lots of decor that grabbed your attention and is very cool. The bartenders were great and with a heavy pour. We spent about 2 hours there and had other friends meet us. You can tell that they definitely have their regulars and they allow dogs inside which was nice and fun to watch. It seemed kind of like "Cheers" that sitcom back in the '80s and '90s. The bartender, new patrons by name and very attentive and efficient. We didn't eat but certainly saw food that came out and it looked great. I would recommend stopping in for an experience, great people, great patrons and just a great place to go to not just once, but whenever you're out in the area that's the place to go."
