Wednesdays can be pretty slow anywhere you go, but karaoke at No Fun on a Wednesday guarantees you will, at the very least, be treated to AMAZING performances from the KJ herself (and occasionally the bartender) and you will not be disappointed. Small bar means you will definitely get to sing more than once, but the crowd is usually very in to it. But hearing the KJ and bartender sing is basically like hearing the Real Deal and if you appreciate great singing you should definitely check it out! read more

Contrary to their name, this spot was a rather fun bar, especially when you can get Devil's Dill sandwiches next door. Divey. Drinks were well-priced. During happy hour, you get $1 off your sandwich with an order of a drink too. read more

Fun dive bar, excellent bartender, and live local bands. It would be better if the mixed drinks were a bit more differentiated rather than using all the same ingredients. read more

An excellent dive bar! This place really serves the community. Since they are connected to Devils Dill, you can get their amazing sandwiches at the bar as well. Excellent drink special. I especially like their rotating list of boilermakers to choose from, both high end and bottom shelf. The thing that really sets them apart though is the entertainment. There seems to be something going on almost every night of the week there. Some nights it is trivia, other nights it is karaoke. However, what I love the most is that they have bands coming through several times a week. Often times these are local and smaller bands. They keep the cover low which reduces the barrier to entry for many people hoping to see some live music. They check vaccination cards as well. Best of all, they do not jack up the prices of their drinks during the shows so you don't feel like you're being gauged or nickel and dimed. What's not to love about this place? read more

best sandwiches ever but thats all it has going for it. as a venue the sound is awful and there is no space to dance or stand and watch. drinks are also weak. and staff is not very attentive. but amazing sandwiches. read more

Went here the other day randomly as I was walking down the street. A very interesting "hole in the wall" style bar. They share the kitchen of Devil's Dill Sandwiches. The bar is very simple and interior is pretty dark. Drinks are fairly inexpensive. The service is friendly. The pork and beef red wine soup was very tasty. Good prices for happy hour. read more

See all

False advertising. I, in fact, did have fun catching live music there. The bands were solid. read more

Came for early evening food and drink before a show down the street at Fuse Theatre Company. My partner had had a Devil's Dill sandwich at work and wanted me to try and indeed they are amazing. Is a cool, funky space and if we lived locally I would be a regular. read more

I live right across the street from No Fun and have had many good times here. There are two bartenders in particular that make the experience worth it - the bar itself is fine, but I come in only when one of two specific bartenders are working. Recently, one of them was let go of because of an interaction with an unsatisfied customer. I do truly hope that person did not experience anything inappropriate or threatening, but the fact that a staple of this place was let go of bc a freshly turned 21 year old did not enjoy themselves - that's effed up and so damn stupid. The person with the negative yelp review - which was probably out of context - would probably have not come back to No Fun anyway. I - as a regular - will be boycotting the business from now on, out of principle, despite living across the street. Chris can fuck right off. read more

Last night, I ordered a $3 PBR. I had three $20 bills in my hand. I gave the bartender $20. He came back, gave me $2 in change, and walked away. Realizing he made a mistake, I got his attention to let him know. I was chill about it. He told me there's no way he'd be able to check and that I "probably just gave him a $5." I told him I was certain about this since I had $60 in my pocket (had just gone to an ATM). My buddy standing next to me vouched for me. The bartender shrugged and walked away. I don't care about the money, but I care about being treated like shit. Huge bummer. The bar itself is otherwise alright, but nothing special. read more

Little Hole In The Wall Bar With Friendly Bartender No tour of Portland would be complete without checking out the hold in the wall local spots! I don't think they have live music or much going on, just a tiny bar with drinks to drink... The name is pretty cool so we had to check it out..... read more

I've been wanting to drink on Hawthorne for months and we finally had our chance! I picked the No Fun Bar because of it's high rating and I was pleased to find it not disappointing in any way. The vibe in there is chill, the girl working (brown hair, tank top, hat) was AMAZING and attentive, and I will come back at my first opportunity! read more

I've been here a few times for shows or just for a drink. The bartender/staff are friendly and the sandwiches (from Devil's Dill next door) are amazing. I think I've had 5-6 different sandwiches there and I'll often take a chance on whatever their Special is at the time. Never been disappointed! read more

No fun? I'd say some fun. I stopped off here with my partner and two friends for happy hour. The drinks were cheap and good, the bartender was friendly. There wasn't really anything unique about this place but it did feel like Old Portland, which is always great. It was a typical dark, dive bar. The bar is attached to the owners' other business, Devils Dill sandwiches. I do think the bar could be improved by adding a small bar menu of pub food rather than just having the sandwiches available. We were hungry, so left after one drink as we didn't want a sammie. If you're looking for a divey bar to grab a drink in, you could do worse. read more

i'm freshly 21 so i went out with my friends and we looked at this place online so we thought it would looked really fun to go to. once we get there the vibe was mid, and the music was so loud you had to scream into your friends ear just to hear them. when my friend was getting out drinks the bartender yelled "you have to f*****g speak up" in a really rude and unprofessional way. she got our drinks and my other friend went to get 2 rounds of shots (there were 3 of us so 6 shots) and the guy was like "you want 6 shots? all with salt all with lime? are you f*****g kidding me?" and he was just saying it with such a rude and disrespectful tone to us. because of the level of service, my friend who was paying for it ($70) didn't leave a tip and the guy comes back to our table and slams the receipt down and says "are you gonna tip? do you need a pen? i realize you guys are young but if you're too broke to tip you need to just stay home this is bulls**t" and we left almost immediately because it was just such an awful experience. we walked down to HighDive a block or so away and it was such an amazing and wonderful experience there. never go to no fun. name of the bar is extremely accurate. read more

This is my neighborhood dive bar. Cheap drinks, decent service, and occasional entertainment. Open late. Recommend!

I just saw that someone responded to my review saying I'm lying. First of all, like I said in the post this happened months ago, I just now thought of leaving a review about it. It most definitely happened, I also didn't know if the guy was actually a GM or just said that so I would get out but I wouldn't make up some Random story. Idk if you can see how many reviews I've left but I don't do reviews for places often. She didn't ask for my vaccine card, I was explaining how I couldn't get into a show at the theater bc I wasn't yet vaccinated and then she called me disgusting. The fact that you are calling my review a lie is crazy to me though. It 100% happened, I truthfully don't care to make up a story about a bar I've been to one time. Just shows that you guys can't say wow I'm sorry you had that experience, that's definitely not like us. I'm sure this is a great bar most of the time, just my first and only experience wasn't very good. read more

Great local bar. I experienced good service. The bartender was cool. Prices are fine. I'll definitely be heading back again soon.

Awesome dive bar. Cheap drinks and attached to a delicious sandwich place to feed your drunk cravings.

Got caught in a rain storm biking home last night and decided to make a pit stop here while the worst of the rain blew through. This bar looks kinda like a high-hat-hipster establishment from the outside but inside is so comfortable and mellow and bartender was super chill. The warm whiskey-cider was just what I needed to defrost my drenched bones. Plus they had nature videos playing on the big screen which I loved. I learned so much about cuttlefish. read more

The best! Excellent sandwiches from Devil's Dill next door, lovely bartenders, good music on the stereo. Low-key, divey in spirit (but clean!), and cheap, straightforward drinks. Love 'em. read more
