BarFly's Review of Jake's Famous

The dapper don of Portland's old man bars, Jake's Famous still has its boyish good looks, though it's now several years into its second century. The mahogany bar, said to have come around the Horn, is manned by personable staffers in crisp white jackets, and still serves a very Portland mix of wealthy and working class. Picture windows in the bar make for entertaining people watching opp on a fairly kooky corner. Sidewallk seating available seasonally, but expect hassling from the hoi polloi if you dine al fresco. $1.95 menu 3:30-6pm & 10pm-mid M-Th, 3:30-6pm & 10pm-12:30am Fri & Sat, and 4-6pm & 9-11pm Sundays.

Reader Reviews of Jake's Famous
Cheers
I have been going to Jakes Famous for years and take all my out of town friends their when I can. I describe it as Cheers with a lobster menu. The front bar bartenders all know your name and are friendly and quick with a drink, light smoke or a joke. I dont dine in the fine dining area very often but like the fact that it is there if I want a more upscale dining experience. Sitting outside has its entertainment in the summer and even though it has a conservitive look inside; liberals are all welcome.

*burp* Chowder!
I love Jake's! When I was a youngin' I lived upstairs and cured all my hangovers with their super awesome NW seafood chowder. It's been a few years, I don't make it downtown much anymore and now the old barback is a 'Tender but kid still knows my name and buys me a drink now and then. Really, really thoughtful staff and much better happy hour food than the Grill down the street. Plus sometime I see Darcelle's "Ladies" passing out flyers for their show outside the window on Stark, Drag Queen sightings are totally bonus!
