BarFly's Review of East End

Not only the name and much of the menu but the haircuts as well are based on 1960-70s England, whether in front of or behind the bar. In the space of MLK’s old Rabbit Hole, East End has thoroughly fashioned a time-warped upstairs-downstairs space where the most important thing that ever existed—maybe the only thing that was ever important—is rock and fuckin’ roll.

More Dutch-boy dos, mod-mops, and scapula-length caveman-styles cross East End’s threshold than that of any other bar in Portland, and yet the mood of the bar has always been less chaotic than chummy, even as the band on the downstairs stage devolves into mere anarchy. Amid rock-damaged blackhairs and more tattoos per capita than the U.S. Navy, East End is quite simply one of the most civilized bars in town, emblematized by our fave Nice Boy bouncer.  

Drinks are cheap, the music shows are always staged at well below true market value, and nachos can mess tables til almost last call. We like it a lot for both personal and primitive reasons, which are the only reasons. 

Hours 4pm-2:30am daily.
Friday-Sunday: Movies 7-9pm.

Happy Hour

Showed up for happy hour the other day. Didn't check out the downstairs. The upstairs is smallish with about 5 or so seats at the bar, tables lining the walls and another spot with 3 barstools overlooking the stairs. Had a fantastic bbq tofu sandwich with I wanna say "hand-cut" fries(?) and a hot toddy. Definitely going to make this a regular stop.

Oh yeah and they have a photo booth, sweet.

What You Think:

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

    Also, please do not use the review system to update your bar's listing. Instead, fill out this form

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Were you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.

  5. The 1st Amendment covers your right to say what ever you want and our right to delete it off our server.
