The 3rd friday? comedy shows are under-advertised and only $3 - well-worth catching.

Don't get there early cuz they won't let you in, and smuggle in your own food cuz the popcorn is pre-bagged and cold.

But grab a pitcher or two and enjoy the laughs!

People always hate on McMenamin pubs...seriously, they are not that bad. Food is good, drinks are good, beer is awesome...ok, service is ok or sucks...never any better (always understaffed) but avoid wknd nights and you are fine. HEY ASSHOLE, GUESS WHAT? WKNDS ARE USUALLY BUSY EVERYWHERE! Plus, during that treasured time of year...SUMMER, this is an awesome joint to enjoy the breeze via their patio seating. I recommend trying their own brand of spirits...pretty good quality and cheap to boot!

Run by lacky stoners who care barely run a cash register. Don't hit the pipe while you're working so much folks, save it for a reward after work. In defense of McMenamins in general, if you find a good bartender, find out their schedule and become a regular.

Yeah fuck coming from the bay area...ive been in Portland for almost a year...you guys bashing mcmenamin bars should go to San Francisco and watch yuppies tear down classic bars and build condos...shit at least the theatre is up and running..imagine if a developer thought how great it would be to buy the bagdad and knock it down and turn it into a fuckin condo...be happy..shit yeah there are way cooler bars around...i gotta admit the terminator beer is pretty good..and the service has always been fine for me...maybe im not a dick/>?

Have you ever worked in the service industry even once in your life? Do you know how hard it is to serve you whining, complaining, self centered, GOTTA HAVE IT NOW! People? You guys suck, and while your at it you can suck your dad's balls too. By the way, have you ever cooked something at home? Do you know how fucking long it takes to make a calzone and cook it, then do it over and over again for 30 morons? We aren't super heros, we are human beings, and if we weren't here you wouldn't have your precious little beer to suck down and make your "ugly as a dog's ass" girlfriend look better. If you can't be patient, go to the store, pick up a six pack, and wack it to your home movies. The only reason I am defending them is because I've walked a mile in theie shoes, and you all suck really bad!

I went there a few times for drinks without complaint, then took an out of town friend there for dinner one night. Mistake! Doughy pizza, gross calzone and slow slow service. But, we got to sit outside on a really hot night and watch people walk by. I'd go there again for drinks...skip the food.

the staff here can all suck my balls. slow service. morons. stoned. or just stupid.

Typically McMinimized bar. Home of the tightwad measured pour cocktail amidst a bunch a trippy-hippie paintings. You know the firedrill. McMinimize your expectations at the door. Strictly a place to get a drink before your movie begins.
