A Hidden Gem on Our Bar Hop! We're visiting from Los Angeles and decided to spend the day exploring local bars and this one truly stood out. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was amazing!!. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The vibe is welcoming, the energy is great, and it's easily been our favorite stop so far. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a chill spot with genuine vibes :-)

My friend and I were in the area and wanted a beer before we got back on the bus so we stopped by after visiting Powell's. The atmosphere was interesting because the music played was Nickelback and similar. I couldn't tell if it was ironic or not after talking to the bartender but the beer was average and clearly not a priority with a lot of cocktail specials. Would go back but only if it was a necessity.

A sweet vending machine with some fun kitschy stuff

We stopped in on Monday around 4 for a quick drink. It wasn't super busy, but there were at least a handful of people there. The place has a cool layout and plenty of seating. It looks like they have good pizza with vegetarian and vegan options. We each got a well drink. The bartender took his time and did a good job. My favorite part was honestly the vending machine. I got a sweet Dolly Parton button and my sister got a pair if Loch Ness Monster earrings and some Britney Spears tarot cards. If I was in the area again I'd stop back in for a drink.

Ice cold tall cans of Rainier: $3. A skull with olives in his eye sockets to keep you company: free of charge.

This is one of the coolest bars I've ever been to. The staff are friendly and attentive. The pizza from the Sizzle Pie next door is hot and delicious. The vibe is just excellent. I'm from the other side of the country, and know no one in this city, yet it truly felt like I was in the company of old friends. Jasmin and Cody were awesome! Plus they have great music, and they play some really obscure, cool, old/cult classic/foreign movies on a projector beaming onto the wall. The last time I went in they had the movie Labyrinth playing, accompanied by some 80's synth pop on the stereo. I knew I was in the right place! If you enjoy weird movies, cool people, good pizza, and $3 cold cans of Rainier, then you simply cannot go wrong here!

This place is super cool inside. I love the art posters, and their vendor where you can but magic prizes, where they're like cheap cute little toys or something. I never got anything from there, but that's what it looked like. The drinks are yummy and very good. I had their special which was strawberry fields. It was super refreshing and yummy. Their beers are definitely of greet quality. The bathroom was clean as well. The music was a little loud but once you get tipsy it's all good! They serve sizzle pizza since it's right next door. I'm so glad I came, I would definitely recommend this place.

Vending machine with mystery things!

I love Portland, its pretty chill and can always count on it for new and weird things. Group of girls and I were in town and tried looking for some quality pizza, and we got it! Their slizes are huge. Their alcoholic beverages are okay. They have outside seating during sunny days so thats a plus. No A/C during summer, only fans. Pretty nice spot to explore once inside. Kind of reminded me of new york style pizzas!

Night bar scene.

First and foremost, this is a dive bar. And if you think it's wrong to write a 5-star review on a dive bar, then I have nothing to say to you. I had the pleasure of going to Portland every week a couple of months ago. On my first night there, the 5 of us (my coworkers) came to the Quality Bar after friending a couple of dudes on Oak St. They told us they were going here and didn't mind if we tag along. Portlanders are so friendly! As soon as we stepped inside, amidst the heavy metal heart thumping music, I overheard someone ordering a shot of Suntory. They have Japanese whiskies! I'll take what she's having, except make mine a double, easy on the ice, please. No nonsense. No table service at all. You order everything at the bar, including those delicious pizzas from Sizzle Pie. Once the pizzas are ready, the bartender brings them to your table. Conversation I had with one of my coworkers after multiple rounds. Found out she's a fellow Yelper. She asked how many stars I would give this place. I said, "No less than 5." She scoffed and said, "You don't give a dive bar a 5-star review!" Then she rolled her eyes at me! Wth. My response (after multiple rounds), "You need to step down from your high horse, little missy." I mean, seriously? The following week I was on my way to Powell's Books and passed this place. Surprised to see they were open for lunch and they had lunch specials. The one that caught my eye was: $10 for a slice of any pizza + salad + an ADULT beverage. What a great deal! Powell's Books would have to wait! It was a really satisfying lunch for only $10. Heavy metal was still playing in the background. Nothing like banging my head in the middle of the afternoon. Good times! I continued to visit Quality Bar every week that month. So if you like heavy metal/punk music, solid drinks, amazing pizzas, no nonsense, no frills, then this is the place for you......and me! So right there, little missy, is my 5-star review on a dive bar :-) You guys rock!

Portland Highball Week Green River Cocktail
Katie B.

There's been a pizza place on this corner for as long as I can remember but I've never been to any of the incarnations till now. Quality Bar came on my radar for their Green River Cocktail for Highball Week. We dropped by on a Sunday afternoon and there were only a couple people sitting at the bar. The bartender took a while to make our drinks, as she was chatting with a few other customers. Service could be better for a cocktail bar, but as a pizza joint with drinks, it will do. On to the food: the Green River cocktail was delicious, a simple and refreshing mix of Maker's Mark, tonic, basil, and lime. We also tried a slice of a vegan pizza with a delicious caramelized onion sauce, marinera, a touch of nutritional yeast. I really liked the slice and drinks. I would come back for happy hour (looks like they have some great deals) or for late night pizza.

Ciders and pepperoni pizza.
Janice N.

My friend and I wanted to grab a quick drink and snack before our cooking class. We randomly found this place on Yelp and didn't realize it was connected to Sizzle Pie until we got there. We were really excited because we love sizzle pie already and having a bar that sells sizzle pie pizza was a plus! They have happy hour from 4PM to 7PM with the following deals: $5 off large pies $4 off regular pies $3 off breadsticks $3 drafts, wells, house wines, & slices $2 off house cocktails & pitchers We ordered two of their ciders on tap and got a slice of their pepperoni pizza. We didn't realize they had an upstairs until after we ordered when we were trying to find seats. Downstairs was full so when we looped around, we found the upstairs seating area. Definitely will be checking this place out again when I'm in the area!

Let it be known: Quality Bar has a cocktail named after Wesley Willis. The "Rock Over London, Rock On Chicago" is a damn tasty whiskey cocktail, but it's also one of the most hilarious in-jokes I've heard in a while. Good job, Quality Bar. "Coming Soon" for over two years now, this tiny little bar is tucked in next to their parent company Sizzle Pie, who serve up the food menu. It's dark, cozy and just my style. The cocktail menu is small but quite well thought out, and everything we sampled was delicious. Its also definitely not cheap, with two drinks + tip being just shy of $30. With an extremely limited capacity and chill vibe, I don't know that I'd ever consider Quality Bar my final destination for an evening out on the town. But they're a great place for a date or possibly to pregame, as Quality Bar will surely serve you up a quality drink (see what I did there?) in a beautiful setting.

Pretty cool little spot.

We came on a Tuesday night, so it was super quiet, lots of seating at the bar and really chill. Loved that the drink menu was divided into flavor profiles depending on your own preferences, you can choose drinks from a selection of bright & crisp, arid & aromatic, supple & herbal, rich & robust, spicy & bold, or deep & dark. I ordered the Mace from the seasonal menu with Aperol, Linie aquavit, beet juice, orange acid, young Thai coconut cordial, and mace mist. It was good. My husband ordered the Liquid Swords from the spicy & bold selection. It was so so good I made him switch with me. I could drink this forever. It had TDL vodka blend, novo fogo silver cachaca, mango, red pepper, lemon and ginger. So refreshing! I would come here again and again!

The ambiance is very tropical and fun, and love that they have such a spacious bathroom! They have an extensive drinks menu, like several pages long! With so many guava, pineapple and coconut-based options, it was honestly confusing on what to get but we decided on the classics: the Lei Lani Volcano and Lava Flow. The drinks were so creamy and delicious yet dangerously strong! Also, can we talk about the portion sizes? My drink was literally the size of my face, like what?!! It is best to come here in large groups because their shared drinks/scorpion bowls are a total showstopper! It is in a very upscale neighborhood of Portland called Grant Park, so it was fun to walk around and see all the cool houses - there was one imitating a thatched roof and what not.

Unfortunately, oysters are only available on Sundays, but we decided to grab a couple of other little snacks instead. We got the steak tartare, and I have to say, it was honestly some of the best I've had in a long time. It had the perfect smoky touch and absolutely hit the spot. We also tried the sardine plate, which was such a fun little snack. The tzatziki sauce surprisingly paired so well with the Spanish sardines and really pulled everything together. Spanish sardines with a Middle Eastern-inspired sauce? Pretty clever! Our server was also lovely and came out to check on us throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. For just a little drop-in snack, the whole experience was surprisingly memorable and definitely left us wanting to come back. Such a cute spot! I'll definitely be adding this one to my list of go-tos with friends. Can't believe it's been right around the corner and I'm just discovering it!

But let's talk about the crudo. I still think about that crudo. Bright, lemony, silky olive oil - simple but done so well. We even asked our waitress if we can keep the leftover olive oil to use it with the bread we ordered lol The oysters were also fantastic. They were barbecued, which isn't something you see every day. A little drier than a raw oyster, but still full of flavor. Limited seating so be sure to call ahead of time for a reservation if need be. This feels like the kind of place you celebrate something special, and honestly, I would not mind spending a birthday here at all! Worth it. btw the alleyway walking up to this place is so charming.
