BarFly's Review of Alberta Street Pub

From the mercurial waitstaff and beloved owner to the boozy bohomie and (tragically) banned smoking, Alberta Street's every bit the sloppy, sweaty, traditional Irish public house minus the franchisable trimmings. A devotion to acoustic music of all stripes illustrates the Celtic origins of bluegrass and Old Time, and well-priced libations soften the liveliest jam.

Open 5pm-midnight Sun-Thurs, 5pm-1am Fri - Sat.
Mondays: Live Music (6:30-8:30pm, free);
Tuesday: $1 PBR all night.
Wednesday: Suck My Open Mic with Tamara J Brown 8pm -12am, free
Fridays: Live Music (6:30-8:30pm, free); Beglan's Irish Jam (9pm, free).

Happy Hours

Reader Reviews of Alberta Street Pub
I like this place

Smoke-free, nice dim lighting, but not so dark I can't see my food, good music, and a nice little black cat lives there. My kind of place.

yum

the food is amazing, the drinks are strong as fuck, i've always had great service (ok, there was one bad time, but the bar was so packed you could hardly walk through it) and it's haunted. ask a bartender (when its slow) to tell you about the ghost

Great Bar food

I think this place has great juju. get here early to get a good seat. the service does kinda suck... one lass in particular has a bad attitude but makes up for it in cocktails. I say get over it-this is Portland. How many places can you go to that serves such good food with Guinness on tap? Do try the Where's the Beef Sandwich and wash it down with a lovely Guinness.

for real

previous complaints are about the hours? Now that's just lame. Everything on Alberta St has weird hours. Blame the neighborhood, not the bar.

My 'hood blows

My neighbor hood sucks because everything closes so early, and this pub is part of the problem. where am I supposed to go to at night after I get done with work at 11p? Not there, or Ill be hustled out within 15 minutes. Its pretty cool there and i wish it were open late enough so I could crawl home, very drunkenly.

Pigs go oink

Food is good. Service sucks. Music is often too loud. Should be open earlier for those of us who'd like a pint at lunch. Best damn french fries in town.
