Anyone say Jell-O shots?
Ingrid S.

Super chill spot to grab a beer. The beer selection is always good and the Jell-O shot selection will amaze! Dog friendly and plenty of seating on the covered outdoor patio. Thanks for existing Mad Hanna.

Don't let its rough-edged exterior (or interior, for that matter) scare you away: Mad Hanna is a low-brow dive with high-class cocktails and service, that has been abused (lovingly) by its patrons and proprietors. It knows what it is, and what it wants to be. Devoid of all pretentiousness, Mad Hanna is the sort of place where you also can come as you are, be who you want to be, without judgment, surrounded by like-minded, liquored up individuals seeking refuge from our collective weekday demons. In short, the kind of place I'd like to visit more often. Unlike most dives, you can get a fantastic, hand-crafted cocktail, that actually tastes like the drink you ordered, instead of the sort of watered-down, blasphemous amalgamation you'll find elsewhere. You can also just order a beer or a White Claw and get "White Girl Wasted" without feeling guilty. During our visit, there was a DJ spinning an eclectic mix of pseudo-country music that I am still struggling to put a label on; regardless, we enjoyed it. The usual offenders of pool tables and gambling machines occupy most of the inner space, although I feel like they could be cleared to create impromptu dance floor at the drop of a hat. There's also a semi-sequestered nook off to the right of the door, with comfy leather chairs and lit by twinkly lights, should you be in the mood(le) to canoodle. Dog friendly, open from 11am until 2:30am, 7 days a week. Food available from the Hannex café kitchen next door, seemingly at all hours of operation.

Don't judge a book by its cover
Steph S.

From the outside it looks like it would be a no frills dive but this space is anything but--disco ball anyone? Hell yes! The bartender was super sweet and they had a ton of fresh squeeze cocktail options. We were thrilled to see they had our favorite bourbon too. We rarely make it this far NE but will absolutely make this place an earnest stop because of the fabulous vibe it brings.

Christmas Eve Magic, Molten Cheese, and Dive Bar Greatness!…read more Hello!!!!!! How have I been living in Portland and not known that Sandy Jug Tavern is serving up one of the best burgers in town? We swung by on a very busy Christmas Eve and were immediately hit with that perfect, cozy tavern glow. If you haven't been, the vibe is pure "Old Portland"--historic, unpretentious, and effortlessly cool. We managed to snag a spot near the bar, which was the perfect vantage point to watch the holiday chaos while sipping on our Christmas Old Fashioneds. Our trio went all in: a Juicy Lucy, a Chopped Cheese, and a BLT. I tried to play it safe and go the "healthy" route with the BLT--which was fresh and crisp--but the Juicy Lucy absolutely stole the show! As a group of self-proclaimed burger connoisseurs, we were floored. We're talking a thick, hand-pressed patty stuffed with molten American cheese that literally oozes with every bite. PRO TIP: Exercise some holiday restraint and let it sit for a minute so you don't incinerate your tongue on that delicious cheese lava! Not to be outdone, the Chopped Cheese was a gritty, glorious masterpiece--the perfect NYC-style love child of a cheeseburger and a Philly cheesesteak. Between the historic "Jug" setting, the friendly holiday service, and the cheese-stuffed heaven on a plate, our bellies left very, very happy. This isn't just a meal; it's a PDX rite of passage. We will definitely be back!

This is a great hole in the wall burger spot with a cute bar ambiance. I love the outside building…read moretoo. They have some great specials throughout the week. Everything we got was so yummy, burgers were amazing for what you get and the fries are the perfect size. The mozzarella sticks did kind of fall apart but overall the flavor was there. And the chicken tenders were both juicy and crispy. Definitely would be back!

A small vibey bar with fun energy. Space is pretty limited so plan accordingly…read more We had a couple of drinks here and they're tasty! Craft, refined cocktails. They also have a filipino food menu when we're there but we didn't try any. Would be down to come back, especially later at night to catch their last call cookies!

The drinks are really good and the staff was very friendly! The overall vibe/look of the bar is…read morecool as well. One thing that bothered me though (and I know maybe I'll get hate for this), is I feel like some of the decor is tone deaf. They have a bunch of colonial men ceramic decor, but they partner with and serve food from a Filipino company. I'm Filipino and it was a bit offensive to me because even if the point of having them is trying to make fun of them, it's not really funny. We were colonized for over 300 yrs and still deal with the trauma from it. Please consider removing the colonial decor. I really enjoyed the bar and want to enjoy it in the future, but I don't think it's necessary to have those things in the bar and doesn't add anything to how cool the bar is apart from that. UPDATE: the bar messaged me. They were super professional and kind in their response. I really appreciate that they were open to my perspective on the colonial items and said they will be removed. Thank you so much!! Looking forward to enjoying the bar in the future

Thought we'd check out the Rose City Pub. It's in our neighborhood and it has been a long time…read moresince we've been there. In fact, the very first time we went to that location, it was called 'Sir Loins'! His grandparents used to take us there, and after Sir Loins, we went back once, but were not happy with their steak. Years later, we'll give them another chance. Hubby ordered a glass of Merlot, and said it was excellent. For his meal, he ordered the Surf and Turf, which was an 8 ounce sirloin steak and large fried shrimp. As his side, he ordered the loaded baked potato. A green salad was also ordered. We were quite frankly blown away by the food. The steak was cooked exactly as requested and was as tender as could be. The potato was hot and loaded, and came with additional butter, sour cream and green onions to add on. Toasted cheese bread was on the plate. The salad with ranch dressing was just fine too. All that for a very reasonable price. Service was quick and friendly. The vibe of the pub was friendly as well. I got Rueben Sandwich with fries. We shared the salad, above. The sauerkraut with my Rueben was far more better than one I had recently! Half of everything, was set for another meal.

Great Place to watch the Game. Good Food, would recommend the wings and the nachos…read more The Bartenders are fantastic and have a great sense of humor. Overall had a good time

A few things have changed quite a bit since my original review. For one, Tony's is under new…read moremanagement, and the current owner is a truly wonderful, friendly, likeable guy. Secondly, my wife has started working a few shifts here and there, so I've been spending a bit more time here, and my opinion of Tony's has improved significantly as a result. It's still a cash-only bar, but the place has started to take on a Cheers-esque vibe, where everybody knows your name...and each other's, as well. There's a regular crowd of quirky characters from all walks of life who, like stray cats returning to the house that feeds them, can be found here at almost any given hour of the day, and usually hanging out with one another, in some configuration. Drinks remain cheap, and strong, and the bar is much better stocked: even some uncommon cocktails that you can't get at other bars can be mixed up here, such as my favorite, the Rusty Nail (using Drambuie, which few bars seem to stock), so even old curmudgeons like myself can be accommodated. In short, Tony's is a neighborhood bar that has finally started feeling like one, and that's a welcome change. I'm told there are plans for renovations and new features coming in the foreseeable future, which will hopefully will be well-received, and bring in new faces, to join the ragtag band of scoundrels (myself included) that have begun to call this place home.

FYI $8.50 for a well whiskey and bottle of coors light (asked for a beer back)…read more Priciness has spread east... I can still get a shot and a back for under $7 where I live (near Mississippi) Just food for thought!

It was quite, about 3 patrons already seated, eating, and a few more at the video games/casino room. We've known about this restaurant for 13 years, since I've been coming in the area to do my market. This is actually the first time, we stopped inside for food. The booth where we sat, was too worn down, that I sank way low, the table comes up to my chest, we decided to sit ourselves on the dining table. The table we picked and already seated by then, was sticky. After my order, I mentioned our waitress, about it, and she came give it a nice clean. We waited awhile for our server, but not too long. Football games were playing on the large screens. From the menu we ordered, BLT sandwich with Beef & Barley Soup (I asked), and French Dip Sandwich with a side salad and Ranch Dressing. All the food were pretty good (since we didn't fix it ourselves), except the au jus which we found a bit salty. Our server was pleasant and checked with us several times. However, at the end, when we were waiting for our check, she went out for smoke. I went to use the restroom, came back, and still waiting for her to finish her smoke, sitting there waiting, bored! The chairs were pretty worn down, the restrooms need a good scrubbing, and re-painted the writings on the walls. In other words, a good make-over!
