Over the course of our 1.5 hour visit, I had several small pours of various porters and stouts that I had rarely seen elsewhere, let alone on draft. My date was excited to pick from several sours and ciders on draft. Ah, variety! At the bar, Ryan provided us with great company and service. We enjoyed some conversation as we surveyed the spot. Despite seeming like a little 'hole in the wall' spot, this place has plenty of seats if you want to bring your friends. On the wall are photos from Gresham's history and development over the years.

Fun friendly crowd too - I was rooting against the Seahawks and nobody was bothered. Giant screen for sports, several free games (which is great for the kids). Also a lot of pinball and a few arcade titles. Counter ordering for drinks and food. They run with a light crew so there is usually a line and a wait for your food - it's worth it. And there's plenty of entertainment in there to pass the time. Burgers are phenomenal.

I finally hung up because I was pulling into their parking lot. I was excited because they had a covered area and my dog was with me and I had his leash, so I was going to sit with him while the food was cooking. I walked inside,in front of a couple other folks. Walked up to the register and waited my turn, after the guy in front of me. And I waited while the gal behind the counter looked directly at me, multiple times, waiting at the register.

She was alone as far as we could see. She was our server, cook, bar tender and the face of this place. Even though she was running, sometimes literally, she was smiling and efficient. She was amazing! We ordered wings and jo jo's. OMG were they fantastic. They are southern fried full wings. You are given a caddy of 6 sauces so you can decide. Sweet chili, bbq, honey mustard, Franks red hot, chipotle ranch and ranch. You decide. They were delicious! The jo jo's were HUGE! I posted a pic. Could not eat all of what came. For the table we also had onion rings. Very good. And macaroni bites. Also very good. Bathrooms were very clean. Which is unusual from my pub experience. Everything about this place was great! They also have outdoor which is perfect on a nice day. Very much recommended.

Fair place... Very Bad Management! It's true I brought a flask in one night because the new server was so slow in doing her job. (they charged my debit card with out me signing it, plus added more charges to it) I came in again a Month later and was told to leave or Dan or Ryan would call the Police. I didn't even buy a one drink.. I was always a gentleman... no fights / arguments! I called the owner the next day and he hung-up on me when I asked him his name.. The only reason I went there... 5 people invited me. Rude staff and management... DO NOT GO THERE! But if you do... check your debit / credit card for overcharges.
