BarFly's Review of Trap

This dark, eccentric, memorabilia-stuffed neighborhood (should one consider lower Foster a neighborhood) dive has resisted the kids' reclamation not just because of the crumbling diner section or crap juke or sex shop ’n’ plumbing supply-laden area.

A loyal core of boozehounds can be, shall we say, reticent 'round flouncier interlopers, and, more troublingly, they're armed - five boards and a wall of trophies testify to the regulars' darts proficiency. Select doms $1.50 after 9pm.

Hours: 7am-2:30am 365 days.

$1.75 menu and domestic beers, $2.25 well, 8-10am & 3-5pm Saturday and Sunday.
$1.25 select domestics 9pm-12am, Tuesday-Sunday
Sundays: SIN: $1.50 off all cocktails/liquors over $5, 7pm-12am.

Service

WTF?! This old ass woman did not like to serve anyone younger than 20 yrs of her age apparently. She did NOT greet me with any enthusiasm. When I asked for a shot of Citron vodka, lemon, splash o cran shaken, she did it all in a rocks glass. No ice. When I went back up to have her make it chilled, she did each in a rocks glass, then used a Oregon Lottery coaster to strain it! WTF?!? I said, "Do you have a shaker/strainer?" She replied, "This works the same." Omigod!! Seriously, I've been a bartender 15 years and have NEVER seen this type of laziness!!Horrible service! I mean, where the hell has that coaster been?! Under some 60-70 yr old drink?! (since that seems to be the standard clientele there). F this place, I will NEVER go back there, even though it's walking distance to my house! Go to Slingshot for better service & drinks!! F the Trap! (Unless you are over 60 apparently). And btw, I would not be anonymous if this system ok'd me. Some weird shiz kept coming back on me to say I wasn't ok to be on here, but either way, I totally had to say wtf I thought about this place! they SUCKED! Before I walked out I even saw a 3 count pour for another customer, because the bottle was out. Not cool. Find another bottle you old beeotch to make it a real drink! That was the lowest of the low. And btw, it was tonight, a Sat night, 50-60 year old white woman with a muffin top, who obviously hates her job except for those 60 year old no names who tip her $3 for their total tab. Good luck making more money Trap, I see you closing sometime in the near future.

A Home away from Home

The coziest neighborhood bar in SE Portland. Great service, good prices(food and drinks)and super friendly customers. Whether you're having a good or bad day, you can ALWAYS depend on the Trap. It's the Rose City's diamond in the rough !

the trap

Yeah, this place rocks, super old school, lots of booze slugging regulars, a little weird about new school at first, but super friendly after that. This is a place for everyone, people are super friendly. Bartenders are really nice, esp. Stephi, she works nights, smokes alot , but super cool. Check it out, def. old world Foster Ave. , but all are welcome

Midgets

Watch out for that female Midget who roams Foster....she has called the cops on me before for being belligerent & a drunk driver. Mind you, I was on the wagon at the time and had 2 O'Douls that night. She's scandalous and just plain wrong!

  4. Were 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.
