5 STARS FOR AUTHENTICALLY BEST NON-PRETENTIOUS PDX BAR
So… this is one of my fav spots inside Double Barrel - it’s the chick’s bathroom. This is the ultimate Old West Saloon vibe… DB is on my regular rotation.
DB is a super casual, neighborhood bar and doesn’t pretend to be anything else. Personally, I love the staff… manager, bartenders (m & f), the kitchen ppl… it’s sorta old school…. You treat them well, they treat you well. No one is following ya around or fussing over you.!!!
Order at the bar & then there are tables inside, lots of seating outside front and a great size back patio. Dog friendly. Pinball, Photo Booth, video lotto, some kind of long shuffle or air board type game. Drinks are great…. But let’s talk about their Burgers and Sidewinder Fries… delish!!! The kitchen is open late, too, like Bars USED be…!!! The bartenders & that Texan manager are all bright & perfectly jaded, which keeps the riff raff away.
Check it out. It’s clean, cozy, dark ambient lighting, fireplace & they have some rotating music/DJ Definitely a LOCAL old school PORTLAND neighborhood vibe.
only demerit is they switched the music situation & now anyone can play anything that’s online…. I liked the Hank, Waylon, old R&R flavvah...

Trying to support a neighborhood establishment but don’t appreciate snappy service and bad food. Last time I go there. Not sure how hard it is to be nice or considerate but you need a reality check in life if you are going to hire some people to act shitty to customers who just want what they ordered. You say you have caramelized onions on a burger but give me raw onions after the first burger didn’t even have anything but cheese. Yeah Nah! Good on...
Read moreI’m trying visit this place after my bad experience with the other bartender but the “Lady” Maria is so rude and aggressive not only was with me, she was also with other people. Nice bar but need better bartenders. I hope the manager could do something better. There was a bartender(bold guy) who ignored me while I was waiting for a drink, he saw me but he continued talking with other person at the bar. I felt very discriminated and he seem very racist. He definitely should not work in this place where you see at the bathroom a poster saying everyone is welcome and safety.
I can’t say the same of the others bartender, they are very polite and have...
