I came here and the security sucks! there were minors in the bar and one was making out with the security guard to get let in and bought a drink! read more

This place is great if you want more of a night club feel. Music is so loud you can't hear yourself talk. They have a DJ and security. But the space seems too small for all of that. Lady working the bar was very nice. read more

My got to spot. They have pool tables, pinball, and other games. Bartender Kyle knows my order but always checks before he pours. All the bartenders I have met are very nice. They have a limited menu if you want a nosh. Spinach dip is my favorite. They had a couple of large tvs in the front room. Finally, they have AMI music so you can control what music is playing. read more

I showed up one single time for karaoke a man grabbed my behind and made a sexual remark to me. I told the bar tender NICOLE, a blond woman who never learned how to apply eye makup. That one of her patrons had sexually assaulted me. And she continued serving him and threatened to kick me out for having a "tone" when reporting the assault to one of her staff members. NICOLE claimed that if a man had grabbed her behind. She would have simply politely asked him not to and continued serving him alcohol. I will be seeking out NICOLE'S manager and letting them know how comfortable NICOLE is with allowing sexual assault in her establishment. And how uncomfortable NICOLE is with reporting assault, and learning the basics of eye liner. read more

The KJ picks and chooses favorites over the cue. He sings over the singers, and the transitions are non existent. Playing to the crowd and pretty girls won't get tipping repeat regulars in. He's young, so maybe experience is in order. Bar is okay. A lot of young patrons with zero experience at a bar. You have to start somewhere I suppose. read more

Two drinks at $30.... Go across the street and it's $18.50. What a joke. That answered our question why it was dead. Do yourself a favor and pass. read more

This place is a great little spot, staff are cool, place is diverse and has walks of every life. Has a moody vibe to it and prices are good for me. read more

Why are all the bartenders here amazing and beautiful? I have yet to come across a bartender here who wasn't quick, entertaining and just all around great at their job. My favorites who can work through a crowd and still provide excellent service are Devin, Nick and Samantha. With the addition of billiards, shuffleboard and karaoke to the mix, what more could you ask for? read more

Bartender didn't know how to make a Smith and Kerns. I told him how and they didn't have any milk or cream available. He improvised and made my drink with whipping cream, shaken. Best Smith and Kerns I've ever had!!! read more

Cool spot, nice atmosphere, free shuffleboard, photo booth, pool tables, they have everything it take to be great... Lottery machines are the only negative in terms of the inner workings of the place. It has one crippling feature... The location just off the main drag in downtown Gresham draws a lower class hoodish clientele that take away from the places potential... I like the bar, but walk in with your wife and you gotta deal with a bunch of older alcoholic types that look like they just drug themselves in from a long day on the docks staring like a stripper just took the stage for the first time all night... Which whatever I get it, not that bad of a deal... Better place to take your friends for a beer than your girl for a date. read more

Downtown Gresham and what a sweet spot to visit as they have it all even a photo booth... music was good and the vibe is chill where I'd totally be coming back and extending my business trip from S.CA read more

2nd St Bar - Simple Jack & Coke - Sports Bars Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Had great bathrooms everything else was disgusting and the staff were very rude and didn't want to be there,,,,some cool games to play though I recommend eating before you go ! read more

This bar has the best calamari you've ever had in your life, they also serve amazing cheeseburgers and fish tacos, highly recommend.

I like it here. My son takes guitar lessons down tge street so I have a half hour to kill, so I come in for a beer occasionally while I wait for him. Everybody is always friendly, and they have Monday Night Football on. The bartender was super apologetic about all the weird Covid rules, but I can tell they are doing their best out of a tough situation. Lots of good IPa's to choose from also... read more

If you're looking for a low-key spot to chill this place is it. When you walk in there is plenty of seating including a couple corner booths that are perfect for a game night (which is what we were doing) They have a back room that has 3 pool tables, more seating, and some arcade games. You can rent out the back room for events as well as reserve the booths in the front for smaller get togethers. The sound level was ok when we first arrived but it seemed like the volume kept going up until we were literally yelling at each other. I really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and the music was great. I haven't found to many other bars in the area that play rap and hip hop. read more

For a gresham bar, this place is alright. I come here during the weekend because it's the local spot, and I understand the rowdy crowd and the bartenders stance on certain situations. Tonight I had a negative experience with the bartender Nick that really put this facility into perspective for me. It's a Thursday night, a few people are in here but not many. I had a really bad day and was looking to unwind with friends. We got in here, talked in a circle about what we were gonna order and then proceeded to wait in line right behind a couple. We waited promptly and patiently and during this time a friend of mine came up and asked if I could hold her drink, so I did. And immediately after that another girlfriend came up and asked me if I wanted her drink because she didn't like it. I had them both in my hand and was sipping out of the one she gave me. I didn't think anything of it because I was just holding a drink for a friend as well as drinking one another friend gave me. When my friends and I got to the bar, he took the drinks from me and said "oh so now you're picking up random drinks off the bar?". He then proceeded to tell us how we yelled across the bar at each other and ignored him when he tried to get our order, this was far from the truth since we literally had just walked through the door. As a bartender, I am astonished that I was embarrassed in that manner by someone else in this industry. And to top it off my poor friend didn't have her drink that she thought I was holding onto. I can only hope he comped her next drink for his judgement call. read more

Smells bad and saw bouncers rough up a patron unnecessarily. Pretty shady place but I guess that is nothing new.

This is the only bar opened til 2am in downtown Gresham. Great place for drinks and games with friends. They have two legitimate beer pong tables, couple pool tables, a shuffle board, as well as jumbo sized Jenna outside on the patio. There's also an updated juke box for you to insert money and play your favorite/up to date jams. The size of this bar is very large offering additional space outside in the patio with tables. They even have a photo booth as well. I've been here several times and will definitely be coming back here again. read more

See all

Awesome place, bartenders are super friendly, lots to do and the jukebox is awesome. Fun for groups or just on your own.

Came in with my brothers and it kinda stunk of B/O but the staff was nice and the back room to play pool and shuffleboard was a lot nicer than the front room. read more

If you are looking for friends of Judy, we are here. Come sing karaoke with us on Tuesday!

Drinks can take a little longer than exoectes, but that's because this pace can get really busy. The bartender Ariel is fantastic. And she has been a friend of mine for years. Jared the DJ is also a buddy of mine. Alsways plays good tunes. read more

Great bar. Good times. The go to spot on Friday and Saturday nights, and some weekdays. The bartenders are awesome too!

I used to enjoy going to this bar. Great drinks and great atmosphere. Tonight I played some video poker and ended up with a fair $143. When I cashed in my tickets the bartender tonight (female) gave me back $113 and kept $30 to herself. I always tip, but when you scam me of my money, it makes me reconsider my return. Did not confront nor make a scene because I figured maybe she needed those $30 more than me. Heads up bartenders, do the right thing and you might end up with a 50% tip instead of a 21%. read more

Stopped by today to check out a different option for my friends and I to do our Friday night happy hour. But no happy hour to speak of, bartender on hand was very nice "Julie" thanx for your service! The place is clean and very comfortable, although trying to get the whole gang would be a challenge. Maybe the NFL ticket and Sunday pool special would help. I hope the management reads this a gives a little thought to drawing a few more customers in! read more

Good little joint to grab a drink at. Love the people and the atmosphere. Top notch.

Cool downtown sports bar! Great rotating selection of IPA'S on tap and a full liquor bar. Weekly karaoke night and a Jukebox all the time. Owner Steve has made this place a must visit in Gresham. Daytime Wednesday bartender is a sweetheart! read more

Best bar to go to!! Amazing bartenders and drinks. Such a wonderful place. Buy there clothes too they have such great clothing

I absolutely love this bar!! Great location and even more amazing staff!! They know how to have a good time, and make sure you're taken care of. The atmosphere is always fun and upbeat!! Nick and Trav are the best bartenders in town... they're family boys and always make you feel like part of the 2nd St family... which is why I always come back... better check them out for yourselves. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Great place to grab a beer with the friends! The entire staff of bartenders, bar backs, security, and owners are great people!

Great atmosphere! Pool, shuffleboard, and a photo booth! Ariel (the bartender) makes the best craft drinks. She's super sweet and will even make you a drink if you have no idea what you want! Love coming here. read more

I came in for a quick beer/shot after work. Great local spot, everyone knows each other (Cheers vibe). Friendly staff and regulars. The bartender with the beard is funny AF! Pool tables, shuffleboard, great time! I stayed way past my bedtime! read more

I'm not sure what to say of this place. Terrible drinks. Horrible food. Rude bartenders. Violent bouncers. If you're from out of town I would avoid this place. read more

Ten dollar minimum if you want to use a debit or credit card. Had two beers and played video poker for over an hour. Went to pay for beers and was rudly told she would have to charge me ten dollars. I said you got to be kidding me and she got defensive and said it is posted and been that way for nine months. Pointed out it was not posted. Been going there for over three years and not once was this mentioned. Let's just say she started out with beer overflowing on glass and I had to wipe it off. Bought another beer drank half paid and left. No tip. Maybe she was having bad night but that was not my problem. If she is working I'll just leave. Jan 23 2019. read more

Unfortunately, my sisters boyfriends card was lost by the bartenders tonight. Everyone makes mistakes but this really sucked.. other than that, the bartenders really had their shit together. They were fast in service but that may have been there down fall. They assured us they would cover the tab and they would follow up with us about the lost card. Despite all of this I had a good experience. read more

This is one of my favorite places mainly cause the people that work here. I have grown up in the area and this is my go to place. People are usually pretty kick back and cool sometimes it gets crazy in here meaning a LOT of people but it's always nice meeting new faces :) Ariel is by far my FAVORITE!!! She is very attentive to everyone and super nice! :) i would suggest this place to anyone who hasn't been here :) read more

It's a great place to have a couple of beers and light snacks. The prices are GREAT & the people there are really friendly. It was my first time there (I'm new to the area), and Steve (one of the owners) was great to talk to about the local bars & restaurants. I'll definitely be back! read more
