    Mono & Soda on the back patio.

    I LOVE THE BARLOW! The bartenders are great. The food is great. They have a pool table, outdoor area with heaters and a solid 'Montana Bar' vibe. There are tons of bars in Portland, but if you want to feel like your treated like family... come to the Barlow!

    At first it was extremely hard to pick a dish. Nothing really stood out. Perhaps because it was more one of each situation. Overall the food was great the taco shells were terrible. The beer wall was fun. The gm was nice on coming around and checking on us

    Huevos Rancheros, Bloody Mary, and a coffee. Yum!

    Had brunch at the Barlow Tavern today for the first time and was very pleased with the results. I can't believe I didn't try this sooner as I am only a couple blocks away. I had the huevos rancheros and took the cooks advice with getting my eggs sunnyside up. The egg yoke mixing in with the salsa, sour , and black beans was delicious. I also tried their bloody mary and enjoyed that as well. If you like your mary on the spicer side you should for sure get the jalapeno infused vodka. They have patio seating out front and also in back. The only thing I could do without are the creepy taxidermy animals that peer down on you from the walls. I will absolutely be back again. Thanks Barlow, you make a great addition to the neighborhood!

    Fried chicken basket - so delicious!

    I really appreciate Barlow Tavern. The drinks are strong, the place is clean, and service is generally fast. And their food? Delicious! I've had their deviled eggs and fried chicken basket, both of which I'd recommend. Just to note, the flavor of their deviled eggs changes quite frequently. I've had their parmesan deviled eggs (so creamy and decadent) and I've also seen that they had bacon and jalapeno deviled eggs. But undeniably, their fried chicken basket is what really draws me to this place. For starters, it's boneless chicken. I was worried at first that it wouldn't be that flavorful without the bone, but I was wrong. Their chicken is moist and flavorful, and the breading around it is seasoned really well. To be honest, I crave Barlow's fried chicken quite a bit! I also like their shoestring fries that comes with the basket, though you can also get tots or a salad with your fried chicken. Oh, and make sure to drench your fries in their delicious fry sauce!

    Pbr and fries... #classy

    Pleasantly surprised by this very sketch looking bar on Greenly Ave near Adidas Headquarter. Despite not having a full array of alcohol, I still had quite a good time munchin' on their greasy fries and drinking PBR. Oh so classy.

    If this fit in my purse I might consider trying to sneak it out of the bar.

    The ups: Amazing fried chicken, decent selection of whiskies, cheap drinks, clean tables, and my favorite painting. The downs: it's a bit hipsterish, with a high percentage of the patrons sporting skinny jeans and complicated facial hair, and Trivia Tuesday can get a bit crazy. Oh, and there's no table service, but I guess you can't have everything. All in all, I love this place.

    So far so good. My couple times here I had a great time. Shaun (owns Vendetta, too) I came here for first time and drank a couple beers, the bartender was engaging and having so much fun with the small crowd. Made place seem exciting. Cozy, log cabiny, neighborhood feel. They installed a obligatory TV, understandable, but it's not taking over the whole vibe. Heard burger is great. have not had yet. Good hospitality-

    Classic local dive bar. With $5 pints, a pool table and lots of gambling machines, I'd say they're doing something right

    Good local dive bar. Cheap drinks and a decent patio... seems a little cleaner than most dive bars.

    For Years I had seen this place and wondered what it was like inside but just never felt too…read morestrongly to go and explore , until this Halloween evening where we were so late bar hopping that this was only one of the few places left open . Its a dive bar so not too much to expect from ambiance plenty of seating n quirky decor. The place had a Halloween theme going and plenty of people in costumes which was fun to witness. You can order the food and drinks at the bar and then grab a seat. Everything is fast and no fuss . Drinks are cheap ,food is greasy and good times are a guarantee

    Low Brow Lounge is my kind of place. It has that true dive bar backbone, but it's comfortable…read morewithout losing its edge. The vibe is dive bar meets eclectic randomness, with weird things all around that somehow just work. They serve RC pop, which I loved. It's a subtle nod to how long they've been around and the fact that they're not chasing trends. The bartenders were fantastic. Attentive and personable, and they actually know what they're doing. They properly shake a martini, come to your table to grab empty glasses, and wipe down surfaces without making a production out of it. It's relaxed, but they clearly care. You can sit back and enjoy your own company or belly up and end up in conversation learning the history of the place. A little weird, totally unpretentious, and absolutely somewhere I'd go back to.
