The owners are from New York that woke up one day and said 'hey let's move to Orygun, open up a bar even though we haven't the slightest clue what we are doing!!!' Stick to what you know people before you go bankrupt on this crappy bar. It was better when it was a Denny's and the decor still looks like one aside from pool tables and a bar. I Won't ever go back and have told many other people to avoid it like the plague. If I want to listen to Blues live I will go elsewhere. Overpriced, terrible service, awful ambiance...

I paid a visit to Out of the Blues this weekend for the last time. The drinks were weak, the food is over-priced, the service sucks, and the owner-managers don't have a clue. I can get better food, drinks, and service at Denny's.

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

We went to Out of the Blues on Saturday night 6/7/08. We'd been there several times before and hadn't been happy with the food or service, but we thought maybe we'd been wrong. We were interested in seeing the Ken Derouchie Band again so we decided to take the chance. Unfortunately we weren't wrong! The food was overpriced. ($5.95 for potato skins. That doesn't seem too bac, but when they arrived we were dismayed to see that there were only 4 measly slices of potato with a little bit of cheese, sour cream and bacon. Now that's what I call a good mark-up. There wasn't even one whole potato skin there.)

The drinks were watered down. We had to ask the waitress for another shot of vodka in the vodka/cranberry juice as it tasted like only cranberry juice.

The service was REALLY slow.

More frustrating was that when we tried to talk to co-owner before we left we were met with excuses and reasons why we'd had a bad experienc. She tried to say that the waitress was really busy because she was helping customers at the bar get their order in. She was really busy, but our drinks were neglected because she didn't get them into the computer. Then she didn't get our bill back to us very quickly at all. When we asked for a glass of tap water, she said that they normally charge for that when a band is playing, but since we'd had trouble with our order she'd slip us that for free. Whoopeee!

The band was good. LaRhonda Steele was singing with them and they had a special guest trumpeter so that was fun hear. But we've given Out Of The Blues our last shot. We're not going back even though it's really convienent to our Wilsonville location. Too bad, for them and for us.

I think they need to decide what they really want to be when they grow up. And then they need to GROW UP!

This place is like watching paint dry. They have the same few bands OVER AND OVER because they have burned their bridges with ALL OTHER musical talent in town. The owners are such jerks that noone plays there more than a few times. Ask anyone in the fairly largish Portland blues scene. NONE of the big names will ever play there again so now you can hear the same 25 songs over and over, same 3 bands play there every night....YAWN! Overpriced pool tables, no ambiance, terrible service due to terrible owners. This is what happens when 2 people who NEVER worked in the hospitality industry open a bar. Worst place in the 'burbs.

I used to hang here waiting for my B-Girl. That's right, city boy slumming in Lake-O. They have filtered the music down to the coke-fuled talented regulars who play here quite a bit. Stunning drummer and guitarists. When Aaron was working here, a stunning dirty martini was served.

But they've failed. The atmosphere is...well, it's not there. The food is mediocre. The drinks, well, drinks I can get anywhere. Why come here?

This place might be a little uptight and snooty but it ain't all-bad. It's right next to Lake O, what the hell do you expect? I worked nearby for a while and stopped by here plenty of times. The bar staff gets nicer once they start to recognize you and the drinks also get stronger with each visit. They have a nice full bar, nice brand-new pool tables (3 or 4 of them), and an online juke box in the back. The food is restaurant quality (good) but can get pricey if you go for the full on dinners and such. There is plenty of reasonably priced food as well. Shit I'd go there again and I don't even work out there no more.

I don't know if the above user had come on an extremely off night, but I have been frequenting OOTB for quite some time, and they usually have a pretty inexpensive menu, a *full* bar (they have certain gins that I cannot find elsewhere, so the "no hard alcohol" thing is a myth) and the owner personally came by our table to talk to us during our first visit (and was extremely nice). We were invited back after spending no more than thirty bucks between the two of us, and were not "snobbed" once.

Once bitten, twice shy I guess. I found the place awesome on my first visit, and continue to go back.

We made it into the door at about 5pm on a Saturday night. Guess we weren't dressed fancy enough. They were snotty when they seated us, frowned when we only ordered water to start (the drink menu only had beer and wine and we only drink hard) and when the menu consisted of one printed side of a piece of paper with the cheapest being 8.50 - we left before they came back and haven't been back since.
