The perfect pour after one sip of my Manhattan.
Tom A.

My liver is really lucky I don't live near here. This place is the best! The had a great mixologist with a perfect pour and a fantastic selection of vintage 70's music I enjoyed. I complained there wasn't a disco ball and was told it was being repaired. Kids were bouncing around the pinball machines and everyone was enjoying themselves. Unfortunately, the Lawless BBQ folks decided that it was way too hot out to cook from their truck (98°), so they just had sandwiches available. A great neighborhood joint!

"Your favorite bar east of 82nd," is the slogan for My-O-My. The location at 8627 NE Sandy is not a destination you would expect. Parking on Sandy is difficult but pop behind the bar up into the neighborhood and there's plenty of free street parking with a short walk. The outside may not look like much (a few picnic tables on the sidewalk next to the busy street are not too inviting). But step inside and you'll feel like you're transported back to the 70s! A big sign overhead displays the cocktail menu and other drinks options. The long bar is backlit. The seating is delightful. Wallpaper covers the walls, pinball machines flash in the back, the pool table awaits, and a fireplace crackles away in the corner. Oh, and that outside seating out front that wasn't too appealing? Don't worry, they've got a super cute back patio! With a second location of the Monster Smash food cart serving up burgers. Check out their Yelp page for reviews of the burgers - short story, they're damn good. The cocktails at My-O-My are tasty. I started with "MOM's Grog" which is a fun name. I literally pronounced it "mom" which perhaps was not intended but I think it works well. Then I tried the Last Rites. Also good! (Prices aren't displayed on the overhead menu and I didn't see a paper menu, which I don't love. But I believe they were in the $11-13 range, which seems pricey but I guess is just what cocktails cost these days.) I'd be happy to come back for the cool vibes of this bar, and I'd be even happier if there were a burger+drink combo happy hour!

Great first experience at My-O-My. We stopped by on a Wednesday late afternoon for cocktails and Monster Smash burgers (food cart out the back door). It was quiet so we didn't have to wait long to order a drink. They have a big drink board so you can't miss their specialty drinks. I ordered The Caballero - wild Turkey rye Ancho Reyes, Cinnamon syrup, cardamom and lemon, served up. My husband orders a Ladder 12- Four Roses Bourbon, brandy, port, Cocchi Di Torino and bitters blend, served on the rocks. The drinks were reasonably priced at $11. The cocktail recipe's are well balanced and delicious. The bartenders were friendly and informative. For just opening a week ago they are doing great! I will be back for the cozy atmosphere. I really enjoyed sitting near the fire with an excellent craft cocktail and my Monster Smash burger.

My-O-My, what have we here? A throwback, vintage, 70s-era tavern with sultry lighting, retro signage and décor, arcade games, pinball machines, a pool table, and a covered outdoor patio with its own food cart (Monster Smash Burgers)! Groovy, baby! I dig the vibe. House cocktails include an unusual variety of concoctions, strongly poured and reasonably priced. Our before-sundown visit meant the place was lightly populated, with only one bartender on deck, but they managed to hold down the fort pretty well, and crank out drinks with surprising alacrity. Surprisingly, My-O-My is minor friendly up until 9pm, which is great news for parents like us, with a infant we are rarely separated from. I know that a stroller is a weird sight to see in a dive bar, but Keep Portland Weird, right? Keep your judgment to yourselves! Oh, and dogs are welcome as well on the patio! My wife had the IT's Banana Time (which is not as banana-forward as its name proclaims), while I went with the Creepy's vodka Pickletini, as well as an OG Smash burger and some fries with garlic aioli from out back. As strange as it might seem to pair them together, the Pickletini absolutely complimented the burger, which also sports a peck of pickles in addition to the fantastic Monster Sauce (reminiscent of any "fry sauce" at another burger joint), and very delicious. Reminds me of the smash burgers and sauce I make at home, with a lot less work! The fries were just alright, many of them being too small, and slightly overcooked for my taste, but nicely seasoned, and the aioli was a nice accompaniment. Overall, everything was competently executed and served, and very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to trying out other cocktails on the menu, as well as another of those smash burgers...or two. I said don't judge, alright!? I'm happy to see Sandy Blvd slowly transform from a seedy strip of dispensaries, vape shops, crappy hotels and dive bars into something more varied, stylish and welcoming. Many of its most recent additions have become destinations in themselves, worth crossing the forbidden divide of 82nd Ave into the wild west that is East Portland. Although, I have to ask...why do all of them have "O" in their names?! O'Dear, Sandy-Os, and now My-O-My. What gives? Well, either way, My-O-My stands in good company with the rest.

Delicious tropical cocktails, adorable decor with both indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly staff. What more could you want in a bar? Bonus: monster smash burgers food truck on the back patio. My new favorite bar east of 82nd.

I have had this place bookmarked for awhile now and had it pop up on my Instagram - finally on a Sunday afternoon I was able to make it out there in between some Sunday errands. This place is sooo much fun and I love that it's family and dog friendly! My son was obsessed with the pinball machines which meant that my husband and I got to enjoy the delicious cocktails together. I love that the burgers are right outside as well which is so convenient. Although this is the opposite side of Portland I will definitely be returning!

My oh my bar had a great atmosphere inside the bar, but the food cart outside was extremely lackluster. Kona kitchen was featured on an instagram reel I saw and I wanted to check it out. We ordered the 3 entrees and 1 side. We chose the shrimp tempura and asked for two sides of galbi which they charged an extra $4 for... Half of the pieces were too burnt to eat what a waste... $35 down the drain

Dive bar vibes with an updated cocktail menu. This NE spot was chill, great atmosphere inside and cute back patio with a delicious smash burger truck. Bartenders were friendly even when it was super busy. Definitely worth checking out.

Sometimes they drop a DJ event. They were able to bring famous DJ François K for an evening of local DJs from 5PM to 9, then François K to 2. François K began his DJ journey in 1976 in NYC. Essentially it was a house party for well under 100 people with an international DJ at a very reasonable ticket price. Only in Portland. Only at Sonder. The door was polite and the crowd was polite. There were no unwelcome club advances. There was no overselling nonsense and readmission lines. There is an area outside to cool off and converse when the dance floor is steamy. Water in cups that are washed and reused, not landfilled. I had a nice conversation with the owner and have some suggestions for future bookings. It was fun to see a little Melbourne Shuffle break out! One of our previous CMs did some DJing and would have loved this event and the venue. It is also an update of the fern bar, with healthy plants doing well with the South facing window. There is some outdoor seating screened by a wood structure from the parking lot. Get on their socials for special events if you like.

I am now sitting in a nice teak-armed chair staring at the monstrous plants in the windows enjoying a Moscow mule, stuffed with fresh mint, and fresh lime juice. As I write the bartender is hand juicing oranges. For this delicious drink, made with my vodka of choice, the price was more than reasonable. Some time I'll try the slushy of the day. I am not hungry enough to try the food - even so, the menu still tempted me. There are plenty of places to sit - tables, couches, lounge chairs, bar stools. The location is almost hidden, but any map will take you there. Why hasn't it yet?

I asked about the scoots, aka mini shots, and he was able to explain the flavors immediately. I ordered No 94 cocktail which has tequila, strawberry, lime and tarragon. I do enjoy tarragon, although this cocktail was 100% strictly tarragon flavor, I unfortunately did not get anything else. My friends each ordered an IPA and they both immediately said (to me) that it was warm. They did not say anything to the bartender, I'm sure it would have been fixed if they did, but, pouring the beer the bartender should notice it's not ice cold IMO. We sat on the back patio, it literally felt like we were at someone's house, which was nice, although there was ZERO music, which I believe a little background noise is nice. I didn't realize kids were allowed, so as 3 folks going for "Sunday funday", twas not the vibe. TBH, everyone there was over 50, not complaining, just observation. Also, the bathroom is very small, I couldn't imagine if anyone was of bigger stature how they'd fit! And the toilet is so low, I'm a 36" inseam gal and I swear my knees were at my chin going potty LOL. Would I go back? No. Is it somewhere great for a family out on a Sunday? Yes. Again, the bartender was amazing!

Fantastic wallpaper that has the feeling of William Morris gone wild or jungle.

We all had cocktails, mine was a chilled bar martini dirty with extra olives. And they really understood the assignment with the olives. Between us we had a dozen and a half Shigoku oysters from Washington state. And fresh grated horseradish was a bonus alongside the mignonette. The table favorite after the oysters were the deviled eggs. You have to try the truffle popcorn with the fluffy freshly grated Parmesan. That will disappear quickly. The service was attentive throughout our two hour visit. Matthew checked in regularly without being overly solicitous. Looking forward to returning again. Wonderful outdoor eating area that we didn't take advantage of this time but absolutely plan to.
