this place no longer exists

First, these guys are cool to me. They make really good, strong drinks and are cool to talk to. Second, I can't reach anyone there and I seem to have lost my cell phone. If anyone has come across it (red LG Chocolate), can you please contact me at slinky0917@yahoo.com

I stopped in the other night for a quick drink. The place was pretty dead, but it was only 10 o'clock. $5 for a Vodka Rockstar was a great price. He used a pint glass and poured it so strong I could hardly taste the Rockstar in it. The negatives of this place is the people that drink here. Most of them seemed real snobby. The bartenders could be more friendly. The bouncers are real chill and laid back, and thats a good thing.

this place used to be fun back in the days of DJ JR and his bro neil(bartender) then the management changed and everything went downhill. ive seen the new owner out at other other clubs and let me tell you he is an ass outside of work as well. his "game" involves getting girls so wasted they don't know what they're doing. girls don't turn down free drinks but there's a limit and in this case it's ok to take no for an answer. oh but on the positive side, best strawberry french toast!

I go to barcode all the time. For a while it had a big headed manager and snobby staff and customers. BUT I was in there last weekend and it has changed. Wait for drinks still bad but drinks were strong. Same for food took a while but it was good.

warning to all. please pay attention to what you order particularly the belvedere. i ordered a belvedere tonic the other day and it tasted terrible. i then asked for a straight shot of chilled bel and a chilled shot of there well vodka. and yes you know what i am about to say. they were identical in taste. i asked to speak to the manager to validate my findings and he vanished all of a sudden to thai e-san. warning to all... take note of what you ask for.

Worst bar in town. I had a bouncer come up to me and say "I won't want to baby sit you!" because I was texting... bunch of ugly girls there anyway.

Well when the (self proclaimed) manager says F you! I see very little love. I just want to get drunk in a bar anyway. Love is too complicated :)

To my fellow homosapiens, we've all had bad days, service and interactions. How about being constructive with feedback the bar can improve from? Enough of the victim/ offender mentality don't you think?. We all squat to shit and bleed red. Gangsters to clergy need love and respect along with ourselves. We get what we give. Spread what ya want comin back to ya!!! Peace and let tomorrow be a new day and see things in a new way!!!

If your down with 21 yr old asian gangsters, and the tramps they hang with and never getting anywhere near decent service...then by all means, I totally suggest this shithole.

if it is johnny ... he won't care if you don't go to the barcode. he is going to be running the old H20 now

With such an articulate manager I am just stunned that people would have any complaints about this place. I have never been and after reading what the "manager" has to say. I will not bother with the place.

I am the manager of Bar Code. If you don't like it here then just FUCK OFF, please. All of yous!

Barcode was a major set back in my Holiday weekend - We started off at Boiler Room for some good ol karoeke (spl??) and decided to check out Barcode for some more drinks and late night grub.

What we got was horrible service from a stuck up waitress who treated us like children at day-care ("where you sittin? - cuz I can't serve you till your sitting down - NEXT!" - the waitress) - Then we never got our food for 45 minutes or more... a few apologies laters - we got some food, the food was actually pretty decent - and they did not charge us cuz they brought the wrong order to us 45+ mins later...

Best part was - she broght me the wrong ID (needed for ordering your food - don't ask me why...stupid) - anyways Ben - if you are reading this article - I have your ID - can we make a switch please.

PS. I tried to call the number you see above and got the Voice Message for Johnny's cell (please prank him... he listens to all the messages, but never returns the call - I know this because earlier in the day his Voicmail said it was full and to call later - then eventually - after he checked his messages - I was able to leave a nice call-me-back-please voicemail.

Thanks for nothing Johnny.

P.P.S. Please send me my ID via snail mail - cuz I would really rather not go back to your lame bar. Ben if you read this - Im sending yours in the mail on Tuesday - If you have my ID would you please return the favor?

This place is horrible..the waitresses are never good.. they always want big tips.it takes forever to get your cold ass food.the corny bouncers need to stop acting like they run everything in the bar.especially the fat asia dude..That Johnny guy who walks around needs to worry more about the service of his employees to the customers.then being see. overall i hope this bar dies..

I had a "birthday" get together there this Saturday and I read the reviews on here, but decided to see for myslef. IT SUCKED! The employees walk around with there noses in the air. They did play good music, but hardly anyone was dancing and the people that were dancing were looked down upon.

We had one really nice server and then she got busy and we got stuck with a girll that was only nice to the boys that were in our party. I hated the stuck up crowd and employees.

The bathrooms were disquisting by 9:30, and had no paper towels. Alot of people were complaing about it, while in the bathroom.

The manager was really nice on the phone, but didn't have anyhting to say or do with the bar when it came down to it.

Probably wont go bakc there.

This bar has apparently had quite a turn around... Formally, you could go to enjoy some late night pad tai and hang out in what I thought was a low key and somewhat trendy bar? It seems as though they're turning into a " club"... (a poor attempt anyway) The place is filled with barely 21 year old's and an overwhelmingly amount of spiked hair and popped collars. The staff is very hostile and the service is terrible, expect to wait at the bar for 20 minutes before you get your drink... and if you're a women, expect to wait even longer! The bouncers act as though they're running a correctional facility, and bring your cash because they charge at the door and they have no atm!

Pros: waiting in line for the bathroom wasn't so bad... Cons: Terrible staff, terrible service... Bartender quote " I only make drinks I know how to make"... so gear up for vodka redbulls kids!

This used to be my favorite hangout. Now it has all gone downhill! Somehow they got it in their heads that Barcode could be considered a "CLUB" and now they are charging a cover for guys on friday and saturday nights. That is ridiculous! Oh top of that...the best bartenders are gone and have been replaced with girls who seem to have NO bartending experience at all!! They suck! The manager/owner whatever he is "Johnny" is an asshole. He seems to care more about walking around with his nose in the air than trying to make sure his customers are happy. Overall this place went downhill and I will no longer be giving this place my money. The cheap happy hour just isn't worth it.

Service is crap and they treat the place like a damm club! You have to stand in line forever! And they won't let you in according to your group...no one is trying to start drama! We just hungry people after a night of partying!

first time for happy hour on monday. Not til 10pm though, only till 8pm. but they did have pad thai on monday. My friend and I were sooo stuffed with delicious food for less than $13 with left overs to take home. Service was bad, very slow.

Barcode used to be so fun. Small, but big enough to not be claustraphobic. Now, they have fired everyone's 2 favorite bartenders (Neil & Andy) and replaced them with some stupid ass, skinny bitches who can't serve drinks fast enough... or remember what the hell you just ordered. They fired Neil and Andy because they wanted female bartenders to bring in more men because "men tip better" according to Noi - one of the female bartenders. I believe this is total shit because my friends and I tip at least 30% if not more. The music sucks, the DJs cant mix and the staff is just plain rude. My friends and I are friends with the owner, the manager and the head bouncer and the other pricks that run the door think they are the shit and treat everyone waiting in line or standing outside like they just commited a crime. Lil' John as he likes to call himself (he's a fatty actually) was standing at the door last night and my friends and I stepped outside to catch a cab (it was about 2:01am - right when they start serving food) and the cab drove by us so we were going to go back inside and call a cab and wait where it was warm. We asked if we could step back inside for a minute and he just looked at me and said "F**k no bitch". I said excuse me?! Are you serious? It was a horrible experience. Now that Neil and Andy are gone especially this places sucks. Stay far far away. The mac n' cheese and pad thai aren't worth dealing with the crap staff.

Well my opinion is actually a fact instead of an opinion. This place has a courteous staff from bartenders to wait staff as well as bar backs. The ambience is kind of "Chic" The furniture and decor is like no other and the food is quality asian cuisine at an affordable price.

Happy Hour is the BEST in town...Both Thumbs UP....The drink specials are very creative and tasteful. Actually I hosted a private record release party for Rap'Superstar" DJ Warren G" last year and he has mentioned how well he was treated in Portland on B.E.T. from Barcode...

So now Celebrities have an eye for this low key establishment where everyone is someone of interest. The manager Johnny gets a grade-"A+"

This place is fine for happy hour food, e-san thai is fab and cheap, but really fratty/tacky crowd. Not a friday night venue, but worth it for the happy hour. Staff are pretty inattentive, but I'm guessing tips aren't so big in happy hour or something. They didn't have the liquor or mixer i drink either.

This place was alright. One time I went and they couldn't find the bitters, though. Crappy Manhattan that one was, but the bartender apologized and gave me a Gin and Tonic. People here vary from weird to OK. Never have done the late night. Non smoking is a plus.

I have been to Barcode twice now, both for a bite to eat before heading to a show in the downtown area...The Happy Hour menu Monday thru Friday (at least) is comprised of some "Thai" dishes prepared at the Thai resturant next door. $3.95 Pad Thai, $1.95 Fresh Spring rolls, $2.95 Chicken Skewers and $2 or $3 well drinks (I still go for the Stolly)...Nonetheless, in the early hours of the evening 10 and before the place is mellow, the music is good, the service is fine, and the food is seriously okay for the money!

I ended up there the other night with a few friends and happy hour was amazing. Great food and great drinks!

My friends and I went to Barcode because we heard it was a atmosphere of mostly business peolple and a more mellow crowd. This was not at all the case. The crowd was a mixture of fake plastic people trying way too hard and people that you would definately want to avoid in a dark ally (scary). Not only was the crowd awful but most of the bartenders and servers were extremely un-friendly,all though the service was almost ok. Barcode is not worth your time, or the effort you spend trying to find a parking spot some where near it.

This is a great place to start the evening, end the evening, and, what the hell, stay all those hours in between! They've got a great Happy Hour Menu, good prices, delicious food, as well as an incredible after hours menu...may I recommend the Fried Rice? Great music can always be heard. This is a great place to hang out and have fun or get on the dance floor and show off your moves. Service is top notch. Check it out!!!

It's a short walk from many downtown hot spots and is open late, so it makes great after-hours grubbing! The Pad Thai is off the hook, but only available on Friday's and Saturdays. The clientelle is pretentious, but who cares when you're eating.

Barcode is great for late night food. And it has potentials to bump even before the late night ppl show up. Either they changed their setup, or the previous poster does cartwheels when they dance :p cuz it definitely has a dance floor, its not huge but...

definitely worth putting some time in between your last beer and driving. plus as an added bonus there is a kickass thai place next door (to the south) normal business hours apply ;)

have fun 934(3

I called ahead of time to ask if they had a dance floor - they said they did; When we arrived, there was no dance floor! There was a very small, tiny area that looked like the tables and chairs had been pushed aside,and placed within this space there were these idiotic looking coffee-table contraptions taking up what little room there was,very tacky, definitely not an actual "dance-floor." The only positive was the fact that it was "smoke-free."

This place is packed to the gills with a bunch of fuck-tards you'd never want to take home or really be associated with in any way, shape or form. Unless you're looking to be surrounded by Greshamite hip-hoppers and their brainless, plastic bitches, stay as far away from this place as possible. Needing food post 2am is no excuse to tollerate the amount of cologne pouring out of this cattle club. Yick. Oh and, no smoking.

Okay, this place was fun... it is open late... the food is good and hell, it's just a great place to go when your not quite ready for the party to end. There are some good looking people there... I will go again!
