    Nachos
    Corey C.

    Umm house made nachos and a cocktail I don't need to say anything else. Service on point. The staff is amazing. In need to a great hangout this is the place for sure!!

    Classy bar, locals frequent it with nice outside seating area, surrounded by local buildings. Service was friendly and the beer was tasty.

    the mac 'n cheese w/ crispy light garlic bread
    Roch B.

    We. Want. MO'! Pure locals hang / in the know spot for post-10pm chow. And drinks. And Billiards. And Music. And Mirth. MOMO's got all that+ a savvy bar staff that makes a fine drink and is down to earth. We scored some MAC 'N CHEESE & GARLIC BREAD that was bangin'. The music, definitively 60s -70s Soul/Cajun/Blues/Funk hit the spot just as surely as the food and drinks did. Gimme Mo'! Ginme MOMO!

    So glad they reopened! Heard rave reviews about the place (and their nachos) so been meaning to try for awhile and they certainly didn't disappoint. Huge nachos with generous toppings smothered in cheese was great with their drinks. It wasn't "gourmet" by any means but really hit the spot. The drinks were also super well-made at $8 a pop. V friendly people behind the bar and plenty of spaces inside and out. An all-around local gem, maybe my new fave. Will definitely be back

    Mac and cheese with red wine
    Hye Kyung K.

    Friendly bartenders! Alcohol had no official menu. I got a red wine to go with my Mac and cheese. It was ok for a dive bar; $11 per glass but a good generous portion. I wish I tried their cocktails but I wasn't in the mood for any liquor. As for the Mac and cheese, it tasted just like stouffer's haha and they give 2 garlic breads that taste like Texas toast. We ate in the backyard and it smelled like smoke. The vibes is typical dive bar with many people who look like locals.

    Cool place, we went during the week in the afternoon, it was odd hours so it wasn't crowded. I loved that. The drinks are good and strong. I think I liked it a lot more than I would have if it was crowded. I can tell people Like to smoke a lot out here.

    Hard ish to be find.   Great old school bar.   East  and ok bathroom.

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.

Like plethora of others in the reviews have mentioned, you are met with security that's far from friendly. My wife and I were greeted by security who held up his hand like he was holding an invisible business card. "ID" is all he said. Sure, no worries, we are in our forties. Hand it over. He then proceeds to ask us about marijuana products on our person..... WAIT, WHAT? This is the Pacific Northwest, my guy. I've seen legit bongs on curbside picnic tables at other bars (Thunderbird on Foster). But this guy wants to peruse your bags trying to find weed. I lied to this securi-nerd, and waltz'd past him. I'm a grown adult, my legal toking is none of your business. Took awhile to get two basic beers. We were met with smiles by staff, but they didn't ask us if we wanted a drink or menu. Finally someone came over and took our drink order. This was a one and done place for us. It has this fake feeling of a PACNW dive bar. It didn't feel legit. It felt put on. Noticed a large table of locals wearing "OREGUNIAN" sweatshirts, and the vibe at this place is just way off. I felt like I was on the East coast--not the West coast. Again, who asks patrons if thy have weed on them with zero explanation? Every single music venue I've been to in Portland could not give less of a crap about your weed vape, so why does this pretend dive bar? What a weird, un-Portland like vibe. The ick is real.

The long line at the dimly lit counter seems daunting, loud laughter and Portland state hats welcome you while glasses of dark liquor clink - then you smell it. The sharp whiff of freshly fried chicken. Your senses suddenly reawaken, Warmth is felt through the finger tips. Your eyes lock onto number 15 and watch intently as it comes your way only to pass you. "The wait is 1.5hours for fried chicken." Is the worst thing you'll hear tonight. You buckle down and order a beer, lending your ear to your newly engaged friend in hopes her story can quell the hunger for fried chicken. God I'm hungry. If you're one person get the 4 piece and be prepared to defend your plate from enemies known as 'friends'. As you imbue deeper into the mead and moonshine your defensiveness in wanting to share will dwindle. This is a solo adventure type of plate- but also get your own!!! This is the crunchiest, juiciest, hot fried chicken. So good you'll burn the roof of your mouth type o hot. This chicken will trigger your anxiety attachment issues - as you eat you'll want more. But this is all you ordered, and if you order more now it will be another 1.5 hours! No! Just No! Dammit keep your hands away from my chickennnn. The jojos are also phenomenal. With love.
