BarFly's Review of Hungry Tiger Too
O, lament our beloved Hungry Tiger - it is long lost, laid waste in favor of erecting yet another yuppie habitrail. The Too is too bland, too bright, and too boring to bear any real resemblance or homage to its late, great, predecessor. The tiger mural made the transition, but its charms alone are not enough to enliven the otherwise sterile space.

From the perspective of a middle-aged broad who has long since split from the bar scene, the place was a great neighborhood bar. It IS really smokey - but the service was great, we met some really cool and fun people there, and the drinks were strong and not that expensive. Also - a darn good mix of people.
As for food - what do you expect from a smoky bar!? It's *bar* food, not gourmet cuisine.

I tried to take my vegan gf here this past Sunday and they were closed. At 7:30pm. WTF?
My expectations in a bar are very minimal, but at the least you need to be open Sunday nights. If anyone out there has vegan friends, I'd say take them to HTT. They have a good selection of vegan and non-vegan foods, all served late night. The vegan ravioli starter in particular was excellent. But HTT is not the only vegan option on this particular block. If they are always closed on Sundays (as I've heard) I'll take my business to Red and Black just down the street.

Not only is there vegan menu about to expand but the place now has pinball and a photo booth. We came in and the bartender gave us a fake stash and oversize sun glasses for the photo booth. We watched some free comedy and had a good old time

Another sterile watering hole in Southeast Portland. No surprise. HTT is a lame, cheap version Chesterfield. There is no pool table. The menu is diverse, but the cook-staff is weak and consistently off-pitch. The bartenders are pretentious, rude, and very slow. What type of person does the HTT hire? C-R-A-P. Somehow, the place makes the customer feel edgy & uncomfortable. I do not think that the Hungry Tiger Too will survive much longer.

This place deserves a little more credit than what I've been reading. Yeah, so the original Hungry Tiger went the way of the Dodo, so what. It's not really trying to emulate it's former self, but trying to progress beyond it. It's very relaxing and clean. It's not a dive, so don't go in thinking you can spit on the floor and piss in the corner while nobodys lookin'. It's just a cool place to drink. And they have some HUGE drinks called "All Day Sippers" that run for $10. They come served in fishbowls (minus the fish). So no excuse not to get your drink on there. The bartender we had was super sweet and allowed us to change the channel on the HDTV behind the bar to whatever we thought would interest us. No attitude at all.
Oh, and they have the biggest club sandwich I've ever had in my life. So I left VERY full. I'll certainly go back.

I was surprised after reading the bad reviews what a good time I had at the Tiger Too! It seems any wrongs they may have had have now been righted. The mac was awesome and came with steamed veggies. My friend had the vegan mac and said it was the best in town! The menu kicks ass and the new staff is friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back regularly.

All I can say about this place is that's it's trying. It's the closest bar to my house, so I was very excited when it opened, only to be entirely disappointed by the staleness of the room and the lack of service entirely. They've unfortunately added video poker, but have made other changes that are very welcome. At the old Hungry Tiger, I felt it was acceptable to have no service pretty much ever. At the new one, when I saw the old staff transplanted, I was rather dismayed, and didn't go in at all for months. Well! New management, new staff, yay! Spent a nice night there last week and was perfectly satisfied, aside from the loud young girls next to me, but that's another topic entirely..
for folks who don't wear jeans to work but want to at night. (not a dig)
The mac n cheese is the baked kind, which I liked, but folks who are used to the creamier kind might not. For $6.95 it is a filling dish with 3 pieces of bread.
They were getting ready to start the open mic around 10 pm sat nite when I left. Seems like a comfy hangout if you feel at home there.
I'd call it a mid-scale venue.
I just had breakfast at HTT the other day and it was really good. The prices were excellant and the portion size was huge. I ended up taking home half my meal. Next time I'll bring a friend and we can share one breakfast (or the breakfast and a side). Service was good too.

I just ate the mac & cheese the other night, and it was awful. Not bad enough to not finish it, but I was starving so that's not saying much. When I was done, there was about a 1/2 cup of oil left at the bottom of the dish. Oily mac & cheese? It would've been good if it weren't swimming in oil. And the garlic bread was drenched in butter. And I dumbly ordered fried jalapeno poppers on the side, also greasy. While eating at the outside table, I heard two people walk past saying "my friend got sick eating here"- not the sort of thing you want to overhear while eating at said establishment.
But hey, you can't screw up a pint of beer. And, the service was good. Looks like they're building a back deck, which would be nice.

Not a bad space although it seems like the bar takes up most of the one room. Not a big deal, it just seems a bit strange. I tried the Mac & Cheese and it was stupendous although it was served with a side of garlic bread (a bit like serving steak with a side of chicken). A salad or side of veggies would have been better. Nonetheless I'll be back for the mac.
