This is a bar...with all the reverence and joy that i can say this!

Alberta St, Last Thursday. the 3 of us went to Alberta St Pub, ordered 2 IPAs and a hefeweizen, the bartender, who looked like a drag queen minus the nice makeup, poured a beer - not cloudy like a hefe, threw a lemon in it and served it- one taste confirmed it was NOT what we ordered, So she She the same friggin beer again, like it was going to change the type. We complained again. She held the beer arms length and turned it upside down into the sink and said, "you've only been complaining about this for the last hour! This is WHEAT BEER!" Uh, dunb ass, learn your beers! at this time an Irish gent went behind the bar. Looking like he may be the owner/manager we told him we ordered a hefeweizen, and this isn't it- he said thay they didn't have that. (then why the fuck didn't fugly say that in the first place!?!?! He poured us another IPA, rather nice about things. I may return again, but not when Miss PMS is behind the bar!

This bar just totally kicks ass if you dislike 'mixed crowds' and most of the people who have lived and enjoyed the less homogenous bars in Northeast Portland. Enjoy the Guiness, only 5% alcohol by the way and fills you up after two or three! Oh, and remember- ten percent is a wonderful tip for the bartender, she loves you I'm sure! After all you didn't buy that starter home by squandering on shabby bars like Florida Room or The Nest (minorities drink there- beware!!!).

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.

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

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.

just so i understand, you're saying the neighborhood makes them close early?

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 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.

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.
