Reader Reviews of Bitter End
I'm sorry, what?

Ok, I totally agree with the dragon about the help. They've always been funny, given stiffish drinks,and are relatively quick to help you. I don't really dig the beer selection though, They charge a cover, parking is shit(though he's right, bus would be great), and more often than not you will be hit on by some townie from Forest Grove who just happened to wander into the first bar they saw after hitting up the ballgame at the stadium. A lot of my friends are from the 'boro and it seems like the only ones that frequent the place have never gone to any other bars in town. The biggest problem I have with this place though, is the music. I like live music, I like bars that play live music; when it's good. The problem with The End is that they always have the band's volume up so high that it can drive even a decent band to the most annoying part of my mind. I'm not going to the bar to see this Portland State Weezer cover band, I'm going to hang out with my friends and have some cool live tunes add to the ambience of an atmosphere->not dominate it. Down with The Bitter End! (Unless you're into that)

Just pop in for a drink...whiner!

Bitter End, recently purchased by a hunky ex-Marine! Love TBE! It's a great place for the music and the food is tasty! The bar help is cool-Love me some 'Tzim!' HE is my favorite bar keep! My peeps like that it's right across the street from PGE park! Parking sucks because of the stadium, but it's right on the bus line! Get off your ass and go to The Bitter End!
