Timeout Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Gresham

I occasionally stop by Time Out Sports Bar & Grill in Gresham on weekends while taking a break from driving Lyft. I usually play a bit of video poker and mind my own business. Today, that changed — and not in a good way.

After playing poker for a while this afternoon, I politely asked to use the restroom before leaving. Roughly 6 minutes in, the bartender (an older Asian man who spends most of his shift sitting down and is consistently rude to anyone who isn’t a regular) starts pounding on the door. I let him know I was almost done — thinking that would be the end of it.

Instead, he loudly claims there’s a “time limit” on restroom use — something I’ve never seen posted or enforced anywhere, especially not under 8 minutes. When I came out, he doubled down and accused me of using drugs in there — totally unprovoked, baseless, and out of line.

I don’t take false accusations lightly. I calmly challenged him on this imaginary “rule” and told him if 8 minutes is too long, put up a sign that says so. His response? “You have no idea what people do in this bathroom. You were probably doing drugs.”

Seriously?

This kind of behavior from staff — especially accusing paying customers of drug use without cause — is unprofessional and damaging to your business. If this is how non-regulars are treated, no wonder the regulars stick around: everyone else is chased away.

To ownership: If you care about your reputation and treating all customers fairly, this situation deserves attention. No one should be publicly humiliated or accused of criminal behavior simply for using the bathroom.

Until this place learns how to treat all customers with respect — not just their buddies — I’ll be taking my...

Bartender mostly disinterested, but this place is clearly not making it, so not his fault. Sounds tired. That said, ice cold cans of PBR for $1.50.. Place's hours (I posted them) are general approximations.. it's so slow many nights around here, and there's so many robberies, they close later or earlier, or don't always open even, and come in later at times too. Still, I try to support my local establishments, so I will be trying to come here as often as I am drinking in my new neighborhood. 3.5 stars really, till I try the food, but since it's whole stars only,...

I went here last night not sure what happened but I had a shot of lunazul tequila and he charged me 12 bucks. At that moment I had to leave you can’t charge downtown prices in the hood I did see another’s get a similar level drink and it was only 6.50 not sure what happened but I even asked the bartender 12 bucks for a shot of Luna that’s nuts and he just said yup I tipped my bartender and left after my shot. I said thank you for the drink as I was leavening and he said nothing back. The experience was a 2-10 only reason I give it a 2 is because the...
