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