    my brokeback, with Jeff & his Lutzburger
    Dan R.

    The Lutz is best known for its classic (founded in 47), dive bar ambiance (is this like a double oxymoron)--well-padded booth, beer lamps and lights all around, even a phone booth (with an atm instead of a phone." Friendly, funky neighborhood vibe, also embodied by the bartender. Pretty good tap list, plus some ponders and bottles. But the best thing about the Lutz is the burger. I had the brokeback, with bacon and onion crumbles; tons of crispy, perfect french fries--at a very good price. Come on down to Woodstock and step into the delicious comfort of the Lutz.

    OMG this place is amazing! This tavern has been here since I was in the eighth grade, probably befour........can't tell you how long that's been!!!! At least 50+ years! Well it's outta my neighborhood now but we were out garage selling I decided to stop in. Actually it was a really nice day and they had outdoor seating. So we thought we would give it a try. And man oh man we were not sorry! Definitely b back! The food was amazing, I had the bologna sandwich with the fries Hubby had the Reuben and we shared as always. Have not had baloney in years, this was to die for so much food! When we go back gonna try the wings and split a sandwich and fries.

    This is my favorite local old school bar. No video poker, no sports bar, there's a pool table, pinball, one tv screen. Outdoor seating in the front and an enclosed back patio. It's dark. They serve potent drinks with an eclectic and varied music selection. They have one of the best happy hours in town, everyday 4-7. I love their happy hour food, but all of their food is good. There are many different types and ages of people that come here and the crowd changes depending on what day and time you come. Locals, Blue Collars, Old Timers, Millennials, Hipsters, Reed College students, etc., can make for quite a mixed crowd. This place gets busy everyday after 4:00. If I worked near by I would definitely check out this vintage bar for lu

    As a person of color this place is wack , bartenders are only friendly to the white man. I felt like I wasn't welcome there.

We would go more if there was outdoor seating that allowed our friendly and well behaved pup but it's only for the smokers and I don't smoke. I like the felony flats cheeseburger and jello shots!

I'm happy to co-exist... HOWEVER, Arley* was the most unwelcoming this visit than I've ever encountered. Unfortunately, I'm sure my words will fall upon deaf ears. She's been working there since dirt was discovered. A Crypt Keeper, if you will. I refuse to be belittled & made to feel small by a grumpy grinch, ESPECIALLY while I'm continuously tipping well above average. I'll be back. I'll continue to patronize the bar. I'll be adjusting my gratitude where I see most fit. My name is Kelsey

Some of the best cocktails I've ever had -and they're pretty generous with their alcohol. Overheard one of the bartenders saying they had been bartending for over 20 years, and it shows. Didn't get the chance to try any of the food. Seating looks pretty limited due to the size of the house, but I heard there's a patio out back. Definitely will be coming back soon.

    Bible Club was such a fun and memorable stop during our Portland trip…read more The speakeasy vibe is spot-on -- unassuming exterior, cozy interior, moody lighting, and just the right amount of theatrical flair without feeling cheesy or try-hard. It really does feel like you've discovered something special. The cocktails were excellent. Thoughtfully crafted, well-balanced, and creative without being gimmicky. Everything we ordered tasted intentional and high quality. We also shared a charcuterie board, which was a great call. Perfectly portioned, nicely curated, and a really good pairing with cocktails. What stood out just as much as the drinks was the atmosphere. It felt intimate, warm, and conversation-friendly -- the kind of place you want to linger. It was exactly the vibe we were looking for for a relaxed evening out. If you're into speakeasy-style bars, creative cocktails, and cozy, hidden-gem energy, Bible Club is an absolute must when you're in Portland.
