Having lived nearby since this restaurant was under construction, I've visited several times and always enjoy the experience. The aesthetic is incredibly well-done-dark, stylish, and perfect for a night out. The highlights for me are the Nola sauce (highly recommended ordering a side if it doesn't come on your burger!) and the beverage program. While the drinks lean toward the premium price point, the attention to detail, like the specialty ice cubes make them worth the splurge. Tonight was a bit of a mixed bag for my family, as my son and wife didn't quite click with their specific orders, but I believe it comes down to personal preference as my other guests have always been impressed. Overall, it's a solid neighborhood addition with great character.

We have heard about Magnolias Tavern and we're excited to try it out. I'm glad we did! We have amazing meals and delicious drinks. The service was incredible. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly. The vibe of this place is local whiskey bar with and emphasis on local. It feels like a place you would meet friends and neighbors to hang out and enjoy authentic southern food and drinks. Very pleased with every part of our experience.

This was a late night stop for us after traveling from up North. We got there around 8:30 and they were closing at 10:00. Starting with "The Good". The food was amazing. Burgers, sandwich, wedge salad with chicken, and the Mac and cheese. My beer was good, my wife's drink was good. The bar wall and presentation is awesome and impressive as a great display. "The Not So Good" my daughter's sprite was flat, even after asking for a new one and letting them know it was flat. The service was fine with a hint of "we want to go home, so we won't offer anything extra" so that kinda made our experience less than we would had hoped for.

Magnolia Fried Chicken with Tavern sides and Mac & cheese

My husband and I came here on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. During this hour, it was free sitting so we picked our own seats. The server quickly came by to take our drinks and food order. We decided to order a few appetizers: pork belly burnt tips and chicken wings alongside the Magnolia fried chicken (with tavern fries and mac & cheese) to share. We asked for all of the food to come out at the same time. The chicken wings were okay, and the pork belly burnt tips were very flavorful. But the star of the show must be the tavern fries. The popcorn chicken was nice and juicy and packed with flavor and the dipping sauce made it much more amazing. We sat at the bar on high chairs. The bar was nicely stocked and looked amazing. There are tv's playing all sort of sports for you to choose from. Overall, it was a nice lunch.

Absolutely enjoyed every bit of our visit! The server, Alexis, was so helpful and friendly. The shrimp and grits were perfect. The grits were creamy, seasoned well, and comforting. Best I've had in the PNW by far. My husband said "The Burger" was exceptional. And those collard greens...tender and spiced just right. Not to be missed. I'm not a bourbon fan usually, but I tried the Up in Smoke and thought the pairing with a candied bacon strip on top was definitely in my top 3 of favorite cocktails I've tried. The dining and bar area are welcoming with touches of the south throughout. I especially liked the fireplace area with cozy couches to relax in when our weather turns colder. The music overhead gave a happy, party vibe. We can't wait for our next visit.

They actually have last call at 10:30

Frustrated that their website doesn't reflect actual hours and when we said something they snottily said its been 2 years cool change your shit

Pine state with waffle instead of biscuit.
Brian M.

I had really high hopes for this place. Sadly this wasn't the brunch I had hopes for. When we arrived, we were waiting to be seated.. only for the server to run inside from outside. Then switching servers. Order food and my biscuit was substituted with a waffle. They give me 50% off my entree after I said that it wasn't a good sub. everything just felt rushed, not genuine.. and if you're gonna spend the money, go somewhere else.

Tavern Fries ( without meat),

New place to try! North East Vancouver off of Padden Parkway. Magnolia Tavern behind Walgreens on the corner, was a nice place to stop and grab something to eat. We were greeted and we chose our own table. Magnolia Tavern is a nice and clean bar and grill, with a patio outside for extra seating. We like dark beers and they happen to have 2, a Milk Porter and a Peanut Butter Stout they were delicious . It happened to be a Friday and Happy Hour! So we ordered from the Happy Hour menu. Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Tavern Fries, and Buffalo Cauliflower, all were great. Our server was great and attentive. Give Magnolia Tavern a try!

Is this establishment Kid friendly?

I don't have children, but I would say yes. Both times I've been I've see children there. They've got the "family side" then the bar side. Not sure if you read the reviews…

We love to…read morego here for a chill date night, I take friends, I have accidentally stumbled into trivia on Wednesdays. Tonight I stumbled into the great deals they have on Thursdays ($5 well drinks, $ off of beer and wine). There's always something. They have board games you can sit and play. Indoor seating, a big outdoor patio with heaters to cut the chilled evenings and umbrellas to give shade. It was busy when we arrived around 7 tonight and stayed busy most of the time we were there. You order at the bar but they will bring your food to you when it's ready. Their menu is decent for a small place. Tonight was the first night I had ever eaten the food. Gluten free options are limited but I got the hot honey pizza on a gluten free crust. It. Was. Delicious. Life changing. I ate the whole thing. It was not a personal pan pizza. The combination of flavors...spicy and sweet and salty...one of the best things I have eaten recently. I might go back tomorrow. This is a local, independent, woman-owned business that makes you feel like you can stay a while and like you should come back again soon. They have discounts for military folks and a special section of their menu for dogs. Highly recommend.

I am pleasantly surprised by this spot…read more The Margherita pizza was bomb - thin, crisp crust; robust sauce and simple toppings. Only $16 too! Perfect for two people to share. I also ordered the Murdertini. It was a perfect blend of liqueurs and lemon juice.

Just ask the bartenders at Loyal Legion for the magic word - they're always happy to point you in the right direction! Walking in feels like you've been transported somewhere else entirely. It's a fun little dopamine boost before traveling. I came here once with my then-partner, and we had a great time just enjoying the atmosphere. It wasn't overly busy, everyone were off in their own little world, and there are plenty of cozy nooks to settle into. One of my favorite part of this experience was watching the planes take off while sipping a drink. Even if you're not flying, this would be a wonderful spot to unwind while waiting for someone to arrive. Such a unique hidden gem at PDX airport.

Just go up to the Loyal Legion Beer Hall and look for a stainless steel door and a keypad. But how do I get in? That's easy, if you are a sports fan, just enter the year the Blazers won't the NBA title. If you aren't a sports fan, think about when that famous Jedi movie first came out. Enter that number and the * and boom you are in. The place has an interesting feel to it. Lots of reflective mirror. Kinda art deco kinda modern. There is a lounge in the back with svelte velvety seats and some definitely art deco wall decor. I like the fake plants too. Pro tip: if you come during the daytime, you can see the planes too and it's especially beautiful during the golden hour. They have an extensive drink menu with cocktails, winess, and beers. Even a NA Atheletic beer. It's very easy to strike a conversation with a stranger and learn about where they are going or how they found out about the speakeasy. Bonus, the bartender wants to know how you found out too. But beware, this speakeasy has limited hours and days. Monday- Friday 4 pm - 8 pm.

Menu selections were many --- burgers, fish & chips, tacos, hummus. Love the healthy options. It was lunch hour and they were busy. It wasn't too loud in there so we could hear each other and have fun talking while waiting for our food. Restaurant is small and kitchen smaller but they seemed like the staff was managing fine. I would like to comment on the visibility of this location. Since it's tucked away and a spa is in the front I didn't see it and had to turn around. Consider additional flags to add to where you're at because GPS tells us it's right there and it's not RIGHT there. I decided on fish tacos and I couldn't taste the fish. It felt like I was eating cole slaw in a soggy crispy taco shell. Consider deleting this item or improving how you make fish tacos. Too much greens and mayo where you can't taste the fish. Overall food, service and ambiance was okay.
