BarFly's Review of The Workshop

You know how in tough towns they do that thing where everyone leaves their guns at the door to keep from gettin' all drunk and shooty? Portland is not a tough town--we are apparently so reliably mellow that The Workshop sees fit to put a vase full of actual hammers on the bar. And a chainsaw above the door for when shit gets real.

Some idiot sites that can't change their URL structure will sometimes list it as a brewery; that’s but a vestige of a half-hearted previous incarnation. They’re now a bright-eyed purveyor of pretty good cocktails. Attached to the Clinton Street Theater, so it's a good choice for a pre-show drink or five. The food is pleasantly Southern (aside: could someone in this town make some cornbread that’s not so god-damned sweet?) and the vibe is classy enough without being uptight. Bonus points if you manage to stick a dollar bill to the ceiling without stabbing yourself or someone else in the eye.

Lovely neighborhood bar

Strong drinks, good barbeque, and the lady who runs the joint is a total sweetheart. Love to sit outside with a drink and people watch.

Leave the vegetarians at home and you've got a cozy spot with good bbq.

Yum!

If you are a southerner in search of some fine tastin' BBQ and an owner with a thick accent and oodles of southern hospitality...this is the place for you!

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.
