My Bartender
I've stopped by several times during (the new-ish) happy hour. waitstaff and patrons are very friendly. The food was great and not expensive. Looks like they have quite a bit of live music in the evenings although I haven't been there in the evenings yet. Overall it's a great place to duck in for a drink and a bite alongside some genuinely nice folks.
The Blue Diamond is, without question, true Cheers-like neighborhood bars in Portland. Absolutely everyone is made to feel welcome ... and they do remember your name. It is not unusual to see a 21 year-old having a discussion with one of the 81 year-old regulars.
The new owners have some exciting plans for additions to the menu & evening events ... but, have no fear, the are not planning on messing too much with the formula that has been working for 12+ years.
Wednesday nights showcases LIVE, NO COVER, R&B music ... with an open mike for the second/third sets. It is not at all unusual to see people, that you'd be paying big bucks to see on Friday/Saturday, sit in on a couple of tunes.
As I've been telling my friends. The Blue Diamond has Good Food, Good Drinks, Good Prices & Good Companionship.
I AM NOT an owner/manager/employee. I AM a regular customer.
SEE YOU THERE!
