Relaxing or exciting depending on the room We saw many cars but when we walked in it was nearly empty. Ends up there are two very different parts of this place. The back room is about pool tables. Very active back there. Seems very popular We stayed mostly in the front area. Part has tables and part has chairs and couches. They have bands in the evenings in this part. We went for lunch and at that time there was great jazz music piped in. The waiters were all friendly. We ordered crab cakes and jambalaya. We also got cornbread, fried mushrooms and a lemon square. All were great! We really enjoyed our relaxing laid back lunch!
Had a wonderful evening and holiday concert. Such friendly service, wonderful entertainment, and delicious food.
Nice place to see live music. Music happens in the front, and in the back showroom. It's a pretty big space, with a huge pool/billiard room in the center.
Solid 4.5! They moved to a much larger location several years ago and I've never updated my original review, shame on me. I go for the live music while others I know enjoy the attached pool hall and some love to eat and drink here. The food is solid, about once a month I get the Western Bacon Cheeseburger and upgrade to a side salad or onion rings. The drinks are solid, nothing fancy, but you get what you pay for. About the music - depending on the night, live music is a Solo or Duo in the Front Bar from 5pm-9pm on the weekends - there's no cover but I always tip the musicians extra for just that reason. From 7-11pm you'll find bands playing in the Event Center which by my guestimate seats about 75 and does double duty as an art gallery. Cover prices vary and some events sell-out ahead of time. I believe overflow parking is available across the street in a business center and there is a food cart in the main parking lot. I'll give them 5 stars when they upgrade the ladies. It's big and there are lots of stalls and sinks, it's hit or miss how clean it is, nothing off putting, but it definitely could use an overhaul sometime. The owner is great and the staff are generally helpful and pleasant.
Great service. Tim is an excellent bartender. Me and the boys are addicted to this place. Great food too. Hear more about this bar and others on our twitch stream CHEERS005 where we rate popular bars in the Portland metro area. Cheers!
Great pool hall with Diamonds. Awesome pro shop. Friendly staff. Band in the bar. Great place to play pool. Ww came for the Shane Van Boening experience this weekend from Tacoma WA. Well rum.
