Out of all the busier bars in Tigard, Carmichaels got in Barfly? Random. I used to live right behind this place and booze it up here all the time. I even won a chili cookoff here. They have cookoffs several times a year, and it's hilarious how intense it gets, especially since all the proceeds go to charity. The middle-aged lady whose husband finished second behind me actually threatened to kick my ass! It was awesome! Despite that, this is the only non-seedy place to drink in Tigard that side of the 217. They are known for their hamburgers and that 80% of their clientele are men over 50, who can be very entertaining drinking buddies. If seedy's your thing, try the nearby Manilla Express, Mixers, or Dr. Feelgood's. Don't bother with Home Turf, the place sucks, the clientele sucks, it smells like movie popcorn, and they 86'd me just because I told a rude regular that she was fat.
