BarFly's Review of New Old Lompoc
Great, friendly neighborhood bar that has it all. Booze, great microbrew, television, smoking, non-smoking, and a great menu. Try Lompoc for a great mellow lunch and justify a beer with their exciting craft-brewed selections. In summer, don't miss the patio (voted "Best Outdoor Seating" on citysearch.com, which, by the way, pales in comparison to the force that is barflymag.com) and in winter head out back to their heated enclosed patio for Tues night Trivia. Whether or not you still have your hair, join "The Bald Guy Brigade" and get a tee, mug and 10% off everything for a year, while supporting "Locks of Love" at the same time.
Sundays: The Off-Key Bluegrass Jam, 1-4pm.
Mondays: $2.50 Lompoc pints, all hours.
Tuesdays: Legends of Leisure trivia night, 7:30 p.m. $1 off all mixed drinks $3.25 Lompocs 4-7pm T-F & all day
Sat & Sun. $3 Bloodys Sun all day

I'm not sure what's going on at the Lompoc. This is generally one of my favorite places in town, but lately I've noticed a bunch of staff I've never seen and they are as slow as a constipated turd. Too bad. I hope it's not falling apart. Some of the best beers in town, good fries, outstanding patio, and normally very warm, friendly, and prompt staff.
Hey Lompac if it's 70+ sunny and a weekend maybe you should have more than one waitress working! The waitress that was working had total attitude. Don't worry sweetie in this economy I'll make sure to visit one of the other hundred or so bars in Portland where I can get a beer in under a half hour.
I actually like this place. It's a great spot to catch a baseball game and their beer is excellent. Unfortunately, the waitresses seem to have attitude for no apparent reason. The first one did not utter a word when I ordered and when I asked for a glass of water I was informed "there is a pitcher on the bar. Help yourself." What?! A glass of water when requested is service 101. Your tips must blow.
Really good beer and decent food on the cheap. I've usually had a kickass time there, though the last time I went the bartender acted like they were doing me a favor by serving me. I've got to point out that the service is usually awesome, so maybe that was just a fluke.
If you love great ale, you must check out Lompoc. Some of the strongest, most delicious beers in town proves New Old Lompoc only cares about their beer. They don’t care about cleanliness, customer service, food quality or you in general. Most importantly, the Lompoc wait staff hates your existence.
In order to have a POSITIVE Lompoc experience, order at the bar when you first walk in and then point to where you will sit. Don’t expect a server to talk to you, and don’t order food unless you have 45 minutes to wait. IF you do order some food, expect a LOT of grease. I personally have no regards for my health, so I enjoy it.
Food: 8, Beer: 10, Sports: 2, Service: 0 (Trust me. Order at the bar, then point to where you’ll sit.)
went here to watch the Red Sox open their series with the Indians. place of course was packed but the service (bless those girl's heart) was good. the beer (i was drinking the IPA) was good *and* relatively cheap ($3 for a pint)
Been in and out, for Fish and Chips and for Shots and Beers. Maybe the staff and patrons are just "My kind of people", we get along effortlessly. Fantastic Beer, but hey - this is Portland.
The NOL is the closest to me and I couldn't have picked a better neighborhood bar. The happy hour menu is good - cheap tasty food. Miser Mondays $2 pints can't be beat. Staff is laid back but friendly. Be sure to try their micro sampler - served on a tray with descriptions of each beer - for an stellar price. I suggest NOT going in order as they recommend and get the dark beers (especially the mocha flavored one) out of the way first!
The new one in NE is a pretentious snooze. Way too slick and clean. No smoking. The staff is surly, gruff and unattractive. I recommend you skip it. Nothing like the one in NW that is actually fun and seems like a bar.
The Lompoc has character, in spades! Some of the best locally brewed beer, funky atmosphere, the best deck AND best pub food in Portland. All different types hang here, from NW industrial workers to peeps from the Oregon Zoo. The Zoo connection is pretty cool actually, they donate $5 from every keg of Condor Ale sold to the condor rehab program at the zoo. A good staff round out this NW gem!
