BarFly's Review of Wishing Well

Super crusty dive bar with a fantastic neon sign, a fantastic rock wall, surly help, and drinks strong enough to kill all of thebacteria inevitably lurking on your half washed glass. No need for a happy hour, they don't need it. $2 beers and $3.25 wells all day, every day. You could do worse, really.

FINALLY...Someplace to booze in Portland that is NOT gay!!

It's a real mellow place with strong drinks and karaoke on Friday nights so bad it's good! I would recommend this spot for anyone in the area looking to avoid the "hipster fags" of Portland!

The Wishing Well

This place is a portland landmark. It's one of those places that should never change. It's like stepping back in time everytime you walk through the door. Can't beat the drink prices.

cool...

Very casual bar with many regulars. Bar tender doesn't know how to make much. She makes drinks stronger sometimes and other times they are weak. Overall very chill place.

What You Think:

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.

    Also, please do not use the review system to update your bar's listing. Instead, fill out this form

  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. 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.

  5. The 1st Amendment covers your right to say what ever you want and our right to delete it off our server.
