Large bar with food. They have a lot of line dancing events and activities. Most guests that attend are super friendly and open to dancing with strangers. Staff is nice. Fun, mid-Western vibe. Wear your cowboy attire if you like! There is a large parking lot. But on weekend event nights, lot will be full. Best to carpool! read more

Bushwhackers is definitely the spot around the Portland Metro area if you're looking to go line dancing! The bar/restaurant/dance floor includes an online menu with a variety of American style foods that leave you feeling full. There are pool tables as well as indoor and outdoor seating available, but on a busy night most of the seating is taken around the dance floor. They offer dance lessons Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 and the real dancing takes place after then till close. They do require an ID anytime after 7pm each night as there is an open bar available, but anytime before 7 it functions as a regular restaurant with all ages allowed. The one downside is that on busier nights there is not a lot of standing room once it hits peak times and the inside can get a little hot so I would recommend wearing something a little cooler if you're planning on dancing. read more

Definitely a vibe, I can see how someone might enjoy or not enjoy it. Really depends on your preference, but it's certainly an experience either way. Didn't partake in any of the dances, but my friends seemed to love it. Honestly surprised by the food. The table ordered nachos to share. And I had really low expectations, but it definitely surpassed them. It's a huge platter and they came more loaded than I anticipated. I also had the chicken quesadilla, which again surprised me. Bigger than I thought it would be, and with way more filling. A little greasy, but lets be real, that IS to be expected. The only let down is the service. It was definitely a busy night but our waitress got called to the bar to assist, and we never really got service after that. read more

Good mix of swing and line dancing. It's hit or miss depending on the dj. I've danced in many states across the country and DJ Sarah is by far the worst DJ I've danced in front of. She's rude when you request songs and she'll tell you to stop screaming when you're dancing and having a good time. I would recommend any other spot on the Thursday night and maybe Bushwhackers of Friday & Saturday. read more

They didn't let me in because of my id "they weren't sure it was real" which it was and the bouncer looked 16 so the whole thing seemed really weird first bouncer also had to call another guy over and he whispered "I mean I think it's real but I can't tell" they also asked me to provide my passport or birth certificate... I obviously didn't have either of those on me because who takes that to a bar? read more

Very cute ambiance, sadly the crowd and bartenders were not very friendly. I did not try the food, so I can't speak on that. This is a line dancing bar so they didn't play very good music and the dance floor was reserved for those who knew the steps. Not a very fun bar. read more

Food was good, they have vegan options. Place was very very busy on a Saturday night, parking very difficult unless you get there early. Good music, good dancing. We didn't dance because it wasn't clear what kind of dancing was ok for each song. Some times it was line dancing only, some times it was open, etc. But we'll go again and try the dance lessons. read more

As far as bar food goes, this one is decent. Came here for lunch with some coworkers. Frankly, turkey does not belong on a BLT sandwich. Service was great and the outdoor seating was nice. read more

The service at the bar was absolutely outrageous on Thursday night. The bartenders working would only help out young men by themselves and flirt with them and ignore everyone else. Waited over 45 minutes at the bar just to even be acknowledged. Don't know who she was but she was beyond rude once we finally got to order our drinks. read more

Great country bar on Thursday nights (and some other nights). Thursday night though is ladies night and line dancing. Gets packed. Cute girls, good music. Lots of fun. read more

Fun and entertaining, I ducked in here for happy hour with a buddy on Friday and don't regret it. We had both heard of this place, but neither of us had been before. I'm not a country western type of person but was very entertained with the line dancing that takes center stage at this country western bar. The usual bar fair but an incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. I'll be back.! read more

Our group had a great time at bushwhackers! However, you need to know what you are doing to hit the dance floor. We are line dance newbies and were surprised at how well coordinated and choreographed the large group on the dancefloor was so we mostly people watched. There was a $5 cover and the place was packed but we had great service at the bar! Also, on our night there Portland police were waiting just outside the parking lot to pull people over for DUI so be on the lookout and Uber. read more

I don't usually make reviews but I'm pretty upset. One bartender in particular tonight treated me pretty horribly. Preface, I am a bartender myself, and have a family owned bar so I GET IT. And this was not it.. I arrived at 7pm with my husband, ordered 2 beers for $10 with one bartender and tipped $4 (cash) and got great service with her. We went to gamble in the lottery room, but quickly lost our cash that we brought with us. No biggy. That's life. We go back to the bar to open a tab with our card (different bartender this time - this one was skinny, light brown hair, fake lips). I order two more beers for my husband and myself, and ask to see the food menu. She asks if I want to keep the tab open. I say yes. She swipes my card, went to give it back, but said she had to hold onto it because it couldn't be read to hold on file. No worries. She can hold onto it. 10-15 minutes goes by, and I order 2-3 food items to add to our table, and one more beer. I also ask for our card to pull money out of the ATM so we can gamble more. She rolls her eyes at my husband and I and says, "you'll have to close your tab and then reopen it and I don't have time to do that". Unfortunately, for her, we had to close our tab to use our card at the ATM and that just sent her over the edge. I gambled hundreds at this bar, and tipped her very well even though she was being rude. And continued to tip her well after she continued to be rude and act like me (a customer who spent $800 on lottery / food / drinks) was being an inconvenience. As we were leaving, I asked for a strawberry kamikaze shot. She told me she couldn't make it because she didn't have strawberry puree, that she could only do regular. I said "do you have strawberry vodka? You could use that?" She rolled her eyes and walked away, and proceeded to make the drink as follows.. Approximately .5 oz of vodka (1 second pour) Approximately .75 oz of triple sec Approximately .75 oz of lime juice I couldn't even drink the shot it was so horribly sweet. I usually wouldn't say anything because usually, I GET IT, but this is a tactic you would use on someone you're trying to cut off. Not someone you're irritated with because they had to close their tab more times than you'd prefer. If a bartender of mine ever treated a customer like that I'd be MORTIFIED. I hope the owners do some investigating. I'd like to preface that this all happened between 7-9pm on Saturday, August 31st. It was not busy yet and we were not being obnoxious, we were not intoxicated etc. Really poor service. The food was decent though. read more

Super busy, seems like a cool to place to be on a Saturday. But just not fun! I'm half Mexican and honestly did not feel welcomed there. I was so excited to go. From the start the door man just looked like he hated his job. At the bar the bartender was having attitude and then when I went to go mingle not a single person spoke to me. I'm very outgoing and can make Friends anywhere. My girlfriends and I went to dance on the dance floor and got yelled at twice to get off the floor.. we had no idea why. Finally they said it was because we had drinks in our hands.. even tho we have never been here. They should have said something. We didn't know. I will definitely NOT be going back! Also it was so hot.. what are they doing with all the money they charge people to get in?! read more

The bartender with brown hair and glasses is nice, professional, and very prompt. The vibes are always fun and the security does a great job

I will never come back to this place. So first off we had to pay a $5 cover charge - the two bouncers LAUGHED at us because we gave them 1 dollar bills. We asked if there was a problem and they laughed in our faces again? We were there for a bachelorette party, about 10 of us, and one of the girls spilt a drink. This resulted in the entire group being cut off by the bartender. Why? Because a very normal accident happened? And then since we they would no longer serve us, we thought we would try to learn a dance. When we went onto the dance floor, the bouncer immediately left his post to tell us we needed to get off the dance floor unless we were dancing. WE WERE DANCING. Literally what is with the employees here? This is the most stuck up, up tight, RUDE establishment I've ever been to. I thought country folk were supposed to be nice? LOL what a joke. Don't waste your time or money here. I'm planning on calling tomorrow to get in touch with the manger. I've never encountered a staff so rude. read more

Used to love coming here and picking up girls but last weekend they told me to take my fat ass somewhere else

The dancing and the dance instructor were awesome, he was great and fun and people on the dance floor were friendly however the bartender we had was sooo ridiculously nasty I would never go back. She didn't look at you so she didn't have to acknowledge you. She seemed to overall hate her job, her customers and the world. We all have bad days but she was enough to make me not want to visit this place ever again. I wish I could remember her name. I think she was brunette, slim with lip injections for sure. Once again the dancing and dance instructor A1! Was so so disappointed with the bartender! read more

Visited this place for my wife's friends birthday. It was interesting but not too bad of a spot. It definitely gets packed and can be difficult to find a table if you're not dancing. Drinks were stiff and the nachos were large, but decent. Service was ok. Something you might find at a busy spot but definitely could be improved. Those that were dancing looked like they were enjoying themselves and that's what matters. The lighting is a bit dimmed/dark in most of the areas with some lighting by the tables. Pretty normal, I'd say. There is a $5 cover fee (I cannot remember if it kicks in at a certain time but be aware). Overall, it was a decent spot but you may enjoy it much more! read more

Been a time since I have been here. The atmosphere is what was expected so pleased to enjoy country-ish environment. read more

Great food. The best French dip I have ever had. The grandkids loved the rodeo burgers and my hubby had the club sandwich. They were all absolutely delicious. Great service and we loved the way it was set up in a rustic setting around the dance floor read more

Used to love this place, but it's out of control now. The cover charge is ridiculous. Parking is even worse. My best friend, who happens to be Hispanic, has been harassed multiple times by patrons. read more

Paid this local dance bar my first visit as someone out of state, it was decent. The floor was active and they had a decent selection of songs. Bartenders were attentive and accommodating. There were some bits that annoyed me: Space was limited inside, it felt there was no room to breathe at times. The DJ didn't take song requests. There were also some disrespectful members swing dancing that would intrude into the space in the center even though there was CLEAR instructions that swing is at the outsides and line dancing at the center. I implore you to do better with crowd control for the sake of everyone's experience. read more

It was a fun night at Bushwhackers until the DJ told my friends to leave the dance floor because they were not dancing good enough. It was really weird because my friends are on the dance team at our university so I know they know how to dance. I don't want to think it's because they were two girls dancing together but that's the only thing I can think of. We did not even drink a lot at the bar we all ordered 1 drink to start dancing. I am very sad that the Dj was so judgmental of the dancing. Art had no real definition and I felt like they only wanted one particular dance style at their bar. read more

Bushwhackers must be protected at all costs. Name a place that hosts free dance lessons Thursday-Saturday, great people in general (staff and visitors), a dedicated DJ who knows what they're doing, dance instructors who are amazing at their job....I can go on and on. All country dance bars can look at Bushwhackers as a role model for how to run a nice community. read more

I am so sad. I went to bushwackers for my partners birthday to dance even though we are hopeless at line dancing (we are new) and the DJ came out to tell us we are going to get kicked out because we were so bad. It was her birthday and she began to have flashbacks of when her family from Japan told her that she will never be accepted because she is useless .... Do better. read more

I've been going to this place for 6 years. It has gotten worse and worse. Will not go back now. Bartenders are clueless idiots and the food ( which used to be good) SUCKS! Ordered fries because I thought they couldn't screw that up too bad. Overcooked, too HARD to eat. Stay away! read more

Went for dinner on Tuesday night and place was empty except 3 people screwing around on the dance floor. No music and food was so so. I know it was a week night but I expected at least to listen to some music. So disappointed. read more

I've only been here for lunch do to the close work establishment proximity, so I don't know anything about any fancy dancing in in sh*t kicking boots. What I do know about is the burgers, fries and service. Of course I have never made if past the gut buster... Who could say no to beef, cheese, Canadian bacon and egg?! Its a delicious bar burger. The one thing that keeps this place from being a 4 stars for me is the service. Sure, their staff is very friendly, but they a missing a little pep-in-their-step. They walk around nonchalantly as they take order, serve food and process payments. If they could pick the pace up a notch during the lunch time hours I would be one happy camper! read more

If you are from out of state or have recently gotten a Real ID from anywhere do not spend time here. Upon entrance the bouncer spent ten minutes checking my ID (UV flashlight, address verification etc), but was incredibly condescending in tone and attitude. After being allowed in and ordering a drink - I was asked back by management to provide another acceptable form of ID. The manager appeared to have no interest in the situation and the female staff member continued to be condescending in tone- which escalated the situation. They refused to scan or look up my ID in any way and denied me from providing proof of purchasing this ID from the Washington Licensing department. The state of OR requires masks to be worn in spaces like this however all staff were maskless, there was no enforcement of mask policy, and no verification of vaccination status (which can also serve as an alternative form of ID due to the listing of the recipient's birthdate). read more

Was in Oregon for the past week and had an overall very good time. However if anyone is looking to country dance I highly recommend doing your research. If you are traveling to Oregon soon or anytime in the near future AVOID Bushwackers bar. Had to pay a cover for slow service and a disgustingly hot bar. While the regulars will come by on the dance floor and tell you to get lost, the staff and management care more about making their friends happy than serving patrons. I got kicked out for doing a simple princess dip, a relatively harmless and safe dip, about 5 seconds after said dip, a blonde female security "bouncer" came up yelled at my girlfriend and I, we were treated very poorly by staff and management saying that I was warned multiple times not to dance in such a manner. We attempted to plead with the female bouncer asking when we were warned about any violation of the bar rules, as this was the first time any employee of bushwackers had spoken with us. Mind you we were there for 20-25 minutes and 4 line dances played in a row. After asking for the security females name and her rolling her eyes and walking away, I asked if I could speak with her manager. The manager Michelle was nice overall, but definitely was new and didn't have the experience to handle a situation and provide customer service to patrons at the bar under her management. We were told that we had done actions that we didn't do, and that she is going to believe her staff and that we could leave. She did allow us to get our cover back. Overall gave us a bad taste in our mouth for the country dancing scene in Oregon. Definitely do not recommend anyone stop here unless you want to be scolded like a toddler at preschool :) read more

Wish I could give zero stars. My husband and I have been here 5 times but usually leave early. Bartenders are usually rude but we still try to have fun. We decided to stay late this Saturday. Bar closes at 1am. At 12:20 lights started shutting off. They bombarded us at 12:30 and 4 employees forced us out the front door EXTREMELY rude. I have never met a meaner group of people. Our friend was still in the restroom and they said she will meet you outside. So sad but we will NEVER support a place like this. Never coming back. Go to silver spur in Salem for a fun country bar with nice staff. read more

Salad is good. Kinda clicky in my opinion. Owners friends seem to be the ones who rule. Quick to bounce ( I worming or notice) ... very intolerant and judgy. Literally boycott my friend because he thought differently than owners friend. Owners friend says " F you", my friend didn't and stayed polite but HE gets kicked out permanently! Service was the worst I've had anywhere. read more

On March 4th, 2023, a group of my friends had a night out celebrating a 30th birthday. We decided Bushwhackers would be a fun place, a place we always have known to be a good time. To preface this I would like to say that I am not a radical person, I am not one to naturally assume that anyone has an inherent bias against different groups of people. I especially take this stance in the Portland area where I had previously always felt that we have an overall welcoming community. This is just to say that I'm not out there assuming that every interaction that isn't pleasant is an act of homophobia. I am deeply saddened by the events that took place at Bushwhackers on this night. Our whole group totaled 17 people. 15 people in our group walked into the establishment with no problems (they are all stereotypically straight and Caucasian in appearance) the last two members of our group that got to the entrance were two girls who were holding each other shoulder to shoulder while they were sharing a secret. In general appearance, you might assume the two were a lesbian couple. The bouncer at the door instantly stopped them and told them they weren't allowed in. When they asked why they said that one of the women looked intoxicated. All 17 of us can attest to the fact that this member of the group was in no way shape or form intoxicated and did not appear to be. She proceeded to calmly talk to the bouncer and explain to them that she had not even been drinking. He proceeded to agree that she did not appear intoxicated after conversing with her but stated "regardless of whether or not you've been drinking we can refuse service to anyone we choose." He proceeded to laugh and smirk and state that it's not possible for him to be homophobic because he has a distant relative that is "one of those trans people". The manager came over and even acknowledged the situation but said "now that there is a conflict we weren't going to be let in" I believe the bouncer's name was Connor, he wore a hat and had a mullet haircut. I truly hope this message reaches an owner or person who has influence over the restaurant. I would like to believe this could be the case of just one bad employee and a bad manager who were very clearly homophobic. We have a pretty small community, and I would like to think that most of us are intolerant or this type of behavior. I was even more urged to write this review after reading a review from 20 days earlier that talks about a customer being called a homophobic slur by a bouncer who we believe to be this same employee. This place needs to make public apologies for their overwhelmingly unacceptable homophobic actions. They should not employ someone in the service industry that harbors this type of hate. read more

Bartender was rude as hell, stood there for over 10mins while she ignored, served people walking up immediately next to us. When we tried to get her attention she continued to ignore. We left, also extremely loud. read more

Let me say I already expected I would be a fish out of water here, I just didn't know how badly. Apparently the staff are allowed to wear MAGA hats and let's just say the amount of angry white dude testosterone was at a high on the Thursday I visited with my girlfriends. I actually asked my friends to walk me to my car because the creep vibe was off the charts. So... Thursdays they do line dancing and my girls dragged me out. Get there early if you want the lesson- the space fills up fast. I was late so I didn't get to participate, but my girls stuck it out for a 45 minute lesson and had fun. Our service was absolutely terrible- I think I saw the waitress maybe twice the whole night and in the end she ran our card for someone else's table so we had to wait around for her to sort it out. Lastly, the food was terrible. I got the pork tacos and they are drowning in mayo- blech. This place was definitely a one and done for me. read more

Me and my friends had the best time at this bar trying to figure out how to line dance. They were super packed and we had to wait a little for our drinks but it was well worth it. read more

This place is kind of wack. Okay I lied, it's really wack. The people are rude (especially the older regulars that come here almost every day), it gets super packed where there's no parking and restrictions to park anywhere around the country bar. Only cool thing about this place is that they do the star spangled banner at 9pm everyday and they have dance lessons. Oh & I wouldn't recommend to anyone who has a little color in them. Just sayin' Would I ever come back? Probably not. read more

Bushwackers is where my Paw and my Step-Maw met, twas the year 1999. They tied the knot in Reno, Nev soon after and have been going strong ever since. This is a good place for a beer and burger during happy hour which is from 3:30 to 7pm A burger is $4 and a cheeseburger is $4.50, with fries or onion rings. $5 cover after 7pm. The interior is sort of like a log cabin inside with exposed logs on the walls and benches and things. The service is good. I think there are free dance lessons for West Coast Swing and line dancing before the cover goes into effect. It can be pretty smoky inside, but because of the high ceiling it doesn't seem as bad, but there isn't a non-smoking section, I don't think. read more
