I was really excited to find out that I have an alternative to the Crow Bar, which is also the only other actual bar open till 2.

Besides the decent .50 off happy hours (which I can almost never get to since I work till 11pm), I really have nothing to say about this place. Its nice, but not unlike a lot of places in town. Its got decent beers, but most of them are unremarkable. The liquor pours are decent, but the prices are not competetive with the beer prices, making it tough for me to actually want to pay for liquor.

When your good beer is 4$ a jack on the rocks shouldn't be 6.50. Especially when there's really nothing that stands out about this place thats making me want to go here over somewhere else in town.

I think I will though, because the people here are less obnoxious then the folks at the Crow Bar.

The only reason to go here, for me at least, is cause there is only one other place to go, and I'm already dissapointed with that place.

Some of my friends and I have been frequenting the patio at Vendetta lately. The space is very cool and a nice change of pace. The space is well segmented and planted to provide different seating options. The bar itself is industrial chic and they have some great art work. It's a nice addition to the area, as I live pretty close.

I have a couple suggestions regarding the service: You need some one to work the patio and have one or two people work the bar. The service is painfully slow and no one wants to walk in from the patio to see 15 people trying to get a cocktail at the well.

for Vendetta, baby

Don't be such a douchebag. Vodka Press? Stop trying to impress all the gays. This place is charts. Shuffleboard great drink/snack combos and one of the best patio situations for scouting new darlings that this town has ever seen. This is my kind of place, not yours.

your friend, Brandon W. Swarthout

don't order a mixed drink here - twice that I have been, they have no idea how to make something as simple as a vodka press. (p.s. hiring your cute but dumb friend to bartend is just a bad idea!)

With Oregon bars becoming non-smoking imminent, Vendetta has already established itself for the future. It's a very comfortable, sparsely decorated locale with fairly inexpensive cocktails and a good beer selection. And the SHUFFLEBOARD. There isn't a better bar game. And it costs nothing to play here.

The service is kind of hit and miss and the food is pretty average, if not below. My friend likes the sloppy joes, though. The menu does need some work.

Anyway, the back patio is great, too. With the heat lamps under the awning, you can stand out there on a nasty Oregon winter day ... in a T-shirt.

A great addition to NoPo, as Williams Ave. is gradually turning into a great place to eat and drink.

I'm just glad a place like Vendetta finally moved into my neighborhood. Thank god I can finally walk to a non-smoking bar with some style that doesn't try too hard. And honestly, the patio is tops! I also like the diverse crowd that hangs out there - I still don't understand the name, though.

Love the shuffleboard, as long as everyone follows the rules.
