Red Apple Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Portland

The first thing you'll notice is how not-sketchy the place is... especially for Gresham. The parking lot was free of garbage and creeps, which makes a clean first impression. When you go in, the first thing you'll notice is how dead it is. Noise level awkwardly varies between SUPER LOUD ROCK AND COUNTRY and eerie silence. The bar was mostly empty, save for a small handful of local drunks who were all ignoring one another... on their cell phones... sitting nearby each other but never speaking. I wonder if the bartender was communicating telepathically with them to catch their order. Perhaps they just come in so much that she remembers. Who knows. The bartender kept the drinks coming, trying to busy herself during the long periods of nothing. Mostly I was able to talk to my friend which is a plus. There was also a fully fenced in smoking patio in back, complete with tables and chairs. The corner market right next door was close by when we needed cigarettes. In the parking lot, we noticed that the two Subway workers had locked up briefly, and escaped to the back room to have sex = people watching! All in all, I did not feel threatened and this bar is clean- yes, ladies, even the bathrooms- and I would not describe it as a dive. Go ahead and order a beer already and put this...

Okay I don't know which one's better the meatloaf or the mashed potatoes you get with your meatloaf or the croissant blta which is a BLT with an avocado Dave is the original owner of this bar and he is still here with us and he helped develop this whole neighborhood the story of this bar is really really beautiful and you know he came here when there was nothing here and he put something on the map for people to come after work and have a good time the prices are just the best some of the best prices for the drinks you get here and the food is a good price too so check out the red apple...

Love this place! The bartender s are the sh#t- Melissa- Jonnie- Ashley. The food is fantastic, reasonably priced, daily specials that are sure to please with gourmet home skilles such as meatloaf Wednesday, and check out what’s being done with left overs from prime rib Friday and Saturdays, the rib melt dip.golden brown Sourdough, blue cheese crumbles, grilled onions dunked in our signature au jus.
