BarFly's Review of Nob Hill Bar and Grill

Nice to see bits of the old NW endure, but ... why the Nob Hill, exactly? The bar's grimy AND overbright with a surly clientele killing time til they can yell little kids off their lawn - there's a distinction between protective wariness and social disorders; regulars don't even talk to themselves. Sports are shown on the big screen to the interest of absolutely no one. The supposedly-famed burger doth protest too much. They've halted daytime smoking but, shall we say, haven't yet drawn the West Hills soccer mom clientele. Unpretentiousness, given sufficient forethought, can be rather more irritating than its opposite. Couldn't we use another Starbucks on the block?

Reader Reviews of Nob Hill Bar and Grill
Beer-only NW staple

Feels like a mini-Cheerful Tortoise, but still maintains a local diner scene. One of the few places in the area where you can get a cheap pitcher of beer to share with some buddies whilst watching the game. Four flat screen tvs are usually playing baseball, football or basketball depending on the season. Taco Monday is a great deal: $2 for 3 tacos. If you want a bite to eat, watch sports, drink beer and live in the area, I HIGHLY recommend this place.

Food: 7/10 Beer: 10/10 (Great selection and $6-7 pitchers) Sports: 8/10 Service: 6/10

The first bar I went to in Portland - your first will always have a special place in your heart - even if it was not your best! That sums up how I feel about Nob Hill. Great neighborhood bar - decent prices - nice staff. Great place to take someone when you actually want to be able to sit and chat with them - without the people watching or loud music to distract you!

Sports What?

A dive bar, I mean sport's bar in the soul of Portlands Pear. Great loocale for late night drinks or your lunch break from work.

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.

  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. Where 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.
