This place has gone beyond downhill, between the poor food quality and the terrible customer service this place is the shadow of what it used to be. Me and my friend stopped here recently after a long day and not only did the bartender not give us menus he never checked in with us when we sat down others had came in just after that and they get promptly served like we should have. This place used to steal the show in maupin and now it's old, rundown, and lacks customer service. I've been a loyal customer for years and this is the worst I've seen it. They have lost my business forever. read more

This place was a good surprise! That frosted strip to keep your beer cold is cool! Good burger and good salad. Friendly staff, mostly good music. We were surprised the rating wasn't higher, so looked into it and saw that the low ratings are from 5+ years ago... Yelp should age out ratings! read more

We came for mid-day lunch over a holiday weekend. We couldn't get any draft beers (something wrong with something), so everything was in a can - no problem really, and there's quite a good selection. I got gator taters (jalapeno cheddar bites) and a caesar salad. Decent, the salad was quite large, ample (too much?) dressing, and a ton of croutons. Service was friendly, but the bartender had to serve everyone - so maybe not as quick, but no problem either. The place was reasonably clean, geared mostly toward locals, which is just fine by me. read more

They have THE BEST club sandwich that I have ever had. We come here for dinner and a drink occasionally but it's a definite go too when we are tired and don't feel like cooking. Seriously the best sandwich! read more

How is this place not rated better! Oh - old and irrelevant reviews. I travel full time and will say this place is worth a visit or two or three. Great service! Food was good. Drinks were great. Service was amazing and there's a cool feature at the bar you just stop in to see...Will be back. read more

Wow. I gotta say this place is really stepped it up. The food quality is fabulous, the service is great, the place has air conditioning, and is clean! This is not the 'bow of before and I welcome this. Thank you! read more

We have been in a few times. Love this spot. Matt was our server. Such a nice guy and our cocktails and food were amazing!! Our burger was cooked to perfection with juices running down our arms. Flavor was spot on. Can't wait to go back. read more

Food ok but nothing special. NOISY place in fact noise level would keep us from returning. 8 of us in our cycling group having dinner about 6pm. Service was fine. read more

The fact that the river rafting guides apparently don't recommend this place is all the more reason for me to love it. I have ZERO in common with young idiots who have no idea what hard physical labor is like. Good riddance. This is a dive bar. A Biker dive bar. Cold beer. Good comfort food. A wait staff that treats hard hats and men who work for a living well. Not much to not like about this place unless of course if you are a snowflake. If that's the case, you'll hate it. I get through here a few times a year and sometimes stop for a burger and a cold one. My kinda place. read more

Great food and great service. He had an IPA. Great selection of alcohol and beers. I had a great Arnold Palmer. The wings were great and the accompanying buffalo sauce and ranch were great. Also had the steely Dan burger. The burger had a great crisp to it and the bacon was great. Had gator tots as a side dipped in ranch and those were delicious too. Katie was a very attentive and nice waitress. The space was pretty neat too. read more

This used to be locally owned as the Rainbow Tavern, but is now owned by Portland's Mt. Hood Brewery this past year. They've cleaned it up a bit, added their beer and some of their own food. I've gone here with guests, but it's hard to watch Portland companies come in and take any profits away from the community. Food is fine, beer is great, it's not quite as lively as their Portland or mountain locations. read more

All you want in a tavern. Prompt service, good and clean. ...wish the servers weren't so glum. Look up girls, Smile!! This place is in a teeny, tiny town with other tavs, places to go. IF I lived here, and I don't, I would not go here. Probably. Unless with friends. Like, if we were seriously thirsty. Or, if we were rafting, and almost drowned, but didnt, and we're like celebrating being alive... well, hell ya. read more

so I put $20 into the machine in the video poker area and the machine said an error code. They told me I had to come back tomorrow to come get my money. I live at least 30 minutes away. I don't understand why they could not just give me the money I just had put in? read more

Beer is ice cold and the food is great! Had gizzard appetizers here which you don't find very often and they were fried to perfection. Just like grandma used to make. If you are in Maupin this is a must go for a drink and bite to es read more

I would give a 5, but the owner probably won't read it.. Incredible bar. Great friendly staff. Laughed and smiled the whole time here. Did I mention they have the BEST Pizza & Reuben?!!! Beer and liquor are good too.... maybe the best Bourbon East of the Willamette. WILL BE BACK read more

Good bar food. Pizza is greasy, gator tots are delicious, and that fry sauce with horse radish was a nice touch. What more can you ask for? Cheers! read more

Got two chicken strips and a handful of fries for 13$ wtf . You will never have my business again.

The food is great, don't get me wrong. Restaurant is very big and has space, but it's not family friendly. Couldn't take my kids in there. They lost service for 5 that day. Small town, think they'd be a bit more family friendly. read more

$10.00 for a side of fries. $0.50 to have dressing on a salad. No it was not extra amount .Guess you are suppose to eat salad with no dressing. Keurig for coffee. For heaven sake I will donate a coffee pot. Was not a enjoyable experience with a group of people. read more

Went in there a couple of weeks back and I have never had a waitress so blown out of her mind high as a kite in my life. Dead serious we asked for water she brought sprite. When I told her we asked for water she gave us a dirty look as if we did something wrong. My buddy then asked for a very complicated alcoholic beverage (Coors Light draft) after she was clanking around breaking a bottle or two stumbling he finally got a half foam half coors light draft.... For $5. We were going to order food but afraid that if we ordered a burger she would have brought a salad. Then given us another dirty look if we tried to correct her. Needless to say the service sucked! The place it self seemed cool but that waitress needs to go! read more

This is kick ass fun with nice peeps and good times, great food rib eye steaks are fresh cut and to die for.The waitresses are great and fun to laugh with check it out its fun place where everyone is welcome!!!!! Dont forget your ID, they all check to make sure your 21+ read more

Not recommended by our rafting river guides for a reason. Stale smell of cigarettes. Fruit flies in the margarita. The bartender gal had zero empathy & customer service for my friend with major food allergies and told her it was her fault when she ordered something she couldn't eat. Go anywhere but here if you're remotely close to Maupin. That bartender needs serious people & customer service training. We were 4 gals on a road trip trying to support a local business and were sorely disappointed. Steer. Clear. read more

Been there once a year for 20 or so, new owners next year? Well get Carol back, keep gizzards and loot, and I can live with whatever they do. It is a landmark. Don't go changing it from the watering hole it has always been and I am sure you will get a nice return on some minor improvements. We need that huge bar with plenty of room for socializing. read more

The only place for late night rowdiness! The "Bow" is a must stop after a rafting or fishing trip if you're staying the night. The weekends are usually packed during the summer, but there is generally live music and a great mix of guides, locals, and rafters. It's certainly not fancy but the drinks are strong and cheap! There's a pool table, gambling machine's, dance floor, and Hamm's on tap. Winter's are a whole different story. The patronage consists of the locals and the occasional group of fishermen or construction workers. Usual pub fair prevails but there are a few surprisingly great dishes. Check out the specials and the dinner menu. read more

Favorite bar. Ever. Patty rocks the house, the crowd is amazing and I have seen things at that bar some haven't seen in their whole lives... Most which cannot be posted here. :) love me some Bow. read more

If you like waking up with diarrhea and cramps, by all means... enjoy yourself.

Had dinner there Saturday night. We had the ribeye dinner special. The food was amazing. The cheesy scallop potato's were off the charts. We are definitely having dinner there again. Patty is great server. It was a busy night but she handled it effortlessly. read more

Great dive bar. The Reuben is made from their own corned beef. Not fatty, not dry. Yum. read more

The one star reviews are comical. This place is great! I always make an effort to stop in here. It's exactly what I want. It's a perfect small town dive bar. No frills! Stiff drinks, good food, with decent bar service. read more

Not sure why no one from our annual Maupin group has written a review but hey, I'll do the honors. In short the Rainbow Tavern is AMAZE-BALLS. Every year we come to our friends house here, tear up the river on our pirate, viking etc rafts then meander on over to the Tavern for some boozin' good fun with the townies! Don't try and get fancy and order a kamikaze, they'll just have no idea what you want. Stick to the beer and shots or box of wine in the cooler behind the bar and you can't go wrong in this lively watering hole! read more

I want to own this bar!!! Let me know when your ready to sell. The food is not what draws people and locals. It's the nostalgia of it all. Great place to just have a drink or more with locals. read more

The only place to go as a rafter in Maupin. No, really. The ONLY place to go. But the drinks are around 3 dollars. The barstaff remember what you like even on Labor Day weekend and they're quick. What more could you want? read more

Worst service ever, not sure how one of the servers is every a server. The server stomped over didn't say hi, just demanded IDs. Someone had forgotten theirs (didn't know they forgot it) and she lost it on us, just completely disrespectful. She told us to get out of the bar, extremely rude and when we tried to politely ask what else was around we could eat and she was still rude and not answering our questions. As we were leaving she walks by us that it's a bar and people need their IDs. Even though we were cooperative about leaving. SAVE YOUR MONEY and find somewhere servers actually have personality and good customer service. read more
