The Triple Lindy — Restaurant in Portland

Didn't have the food so can't comment on that. I went here tonight to visit with friends who are in town. I walked into the bar and looked around to see if I needed to be greeted, noticed I didn't, and sat down with my friends in the back. I laughed about how loud the Deftones were on the radio, we had to yell to hear each other at one table, and I was told they asked the bartender if he'd turn the music down and he said no.

Alright, fair enough. He didn't want to and he was honest. There weren't a lot of people in the bar so we didn't mind yelling too much. My friend got me a beer when she got herself one. We day and chatted a while, watching football game. The bartender changed all the TVs to South Park on mute, so once that happened I figured I'd order a drink to keep me busy. I waited for the bartender to make another drink for a lady who got it bought for her. When he asked me what I'd drink, I said I'd have a Long Island. He said they didn't do booze. I was confused, especially by all the booze on the wall and the booze he just served, but I said okay. I'll have a beer I guess. My friend laughed and told me I specifically wasn't allowed booze and the bartender didn't say anything. He gave me the beer and said "just so you know, I don't serve people booze if they've already been drinking. Long islands are really strong. If it had been your first drink, I'd have let you order it."

I was super confused because not only was I stone cold sober, but I had only had a beer and never spoke to him before. I just shrugged and gave him my ID and credit card.. he said "wait, how long have you been here?" And I said I wasn't sure. Maybe an hour? He asked me why if just come in and sit in the back. I told him because I was meeting friends and was talking to them. He then said something about how much I've had to drink and I told him I've never ordered one from him but I was given a beer. He said "oh, I'd have given you a Long Island if you had said something" like it was my fault for not realizing he had no idea who I was. I just said okay and closed my tab because I was gonna get the f out of there asap. I dunno what he didn't like about me, maybe it was the super homosexual shirt I had on, maybe I looked like someone else who had been drinking. But I was already feeling uncomfortable.

Later on, someone at the table put a cup of ranch face down. It was maybe half full - not that it isn't disrespectful to do. He placed a tea candle on top of the cup. It was one of those "eh that's rude" moments, but I just wanted to go home. Once we got outside, the bar tender comes out and goes "so which one of you thought it'd be funny to put the ranch in the table?" And no one answered because no one's going to snitch and this guy has been rude all night. He got mad and told us we weren't funny and stormed off after confronting us. NGL I was feeling petty so I said I didn't know because I was too drunk to remember. But I had never been in this bar before and just was wanting to have two drinks with some friends and go home. This guy didn't bother asking me if I had been drinking, didn't ask me (at least politely) if I had ever been there, anything. He just assumed I was someone else I guess or he decided he was going to cut me off before I had anything. I'm 35, I don't need someone to tell me a Long Island is "really strong" and I'm 275 lbs. - gimme a break dude.

Never going back. I mean idk if they'd want me back anyways because I'm not going to snitch about the ranch cup but also I'm specifically not allowed drinks there because they're too strong I...

Fun, casual, affordable bar/restaurant that serves notably strong, well blended cocktails, The emphasis is on the bar. Amazing margarita! It has a fairly limited but varied menu, Food service is not slow, but certainly leisurely. However, the food always arrives hot, fresh and is consistently good. Clean and safe this includes a tidy restroom. Overall, the place does not really have a noticeable, vibe atmosphere. Just a neighborhood bar in an eclectic neighborhood. Outdoor seating is great in summer. I find the place a little bit drafty when indoors on cold nights. Bartenders and servers are straightforward, professional, and friendly. Casual all age crowd. Mostly straight but gay friendly. You will see all walks of life. Wear what you want....

I have lived in Portland for almost 15 years. I walk by the Triple Lindy almost everyday with my dog. I knew that they had a great happy hour, but with covid-19 and all it's been hit-and-miss to try to find a great place to just sit and chill, support local, any eat good food. So, on a recent lazy Saturday morning, my partner and I walked by with the dog, and saw the picnic tables on the sidewalk and the BRUNCH sandwich board and I said, "Hey, we should take the dog home and come back and have brunch!" The dog wasn't happy about that. We were so thrilled to sit and have one of the most delicious, affordable brunches, outside in beautiful weather, and who knew? We do! Now you...
