BarFly's Review of Wilshire Tavern

Coolio should write a song about this place called "Gamer's Paradise." This cozy "Cub friendly" neighborhood bar has pool, pinball, shuffleboard, $1 Buds during Nascar races, all video lottery games, and the best li'l video crack nook in Oregon! Seriously, you'll feel like a poker princess, sitting in the hexagonal turret of this gaming mini-kingdom.

Also, if you're like me and like to concentrate while you geek your way through the Megatouch high scores, there's a perfect private seat for you, as the machine is tucked into a wee little cranny. Perhaps the most unique thing about this fun and friendly spot is their nuts. Their hot fresh nuts, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes and flavors.

Funny phrases overheard here were a grizzled she-regular asking for a "glass of red wine - filled to the TOP!!" and the friendly bartender Dave departing my company because he felt he "better serve these animals" quickly before they got cranky.

Hours: 10am - 2:30am daily

This bar is a little on the old school Portland bar side of things, decor, cliental, the whole thing. Most puzzling is the useless shuffle table, which rather than using "sand" (i.e. silicon, called sand but isn’t' actually sand) on the table, they have actual sand, taken from the playground perhaps? Perplexing.

Ahh, the Wilshire Tavern, how do I love thee. The Tavern as most call it, is the place to enjoy all your vices, Video Crack, Pool, Shuffleboard, Big Buck Hunter, Megatouch, Keno, Pinball, liver disease, hangovers etc. It is a blessing they don't serve Hard Alc because A) The crowd would be filled with more A-holes, and B) The bartenders don't have the patience to pour any type of martini or crazy mixed drink, and would just make fun of you the rest of the night. Bartender Dave is a great guy, until he tells me to get out because they are closing, then his name is Dick and he sucks.

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.
