    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    To speak about Teardrop Lounge, I should probably start with this:…read more Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite cocktail bar. Not the best -- I'm not arrogant enough to claim that. I haven't been to every cocktail bar in Portland, and saying something is the best usually says more about your lack of experience than your conviction. But favorite? That I can stand behind. And I want to get that out of the way early, because of the amount of praise I'm about to pour on this place -- fully earned, completely intentional. The biggest crime here is that I only discovered it two weeks ago, after living in Portland for a year. It had been recommended to me countless times, and I ignored it. A mistake. A painful one. But now that I've found it, I don't plan on making that mistake again. I'm not typically an Old Fashioned drinker. In fact, I usually hate them. But somewhere between curiosity and too many episodes of Mad Men, I decided to try one anyway -- fully expecting to confirm my bias. Instead, it completely flipped me. Bright, almost citrus-forward in a way that felt unusual but entirely intentional. Balanced, smooth, just enough burn to remind you what you're drinking without overwhelming it. It was the first time I actually understood the appeal. I'm pretty sure I grew a few chest hairs that night. That alone would've been impressive. But it didn't stop there. The space is beautiful -- clean, intentional, but not cold. The staff are excellent: personable, engaged, and most importantly, authentic. Not scripted, not performative. The kind of people you actually want to talk to, and hopefully, eventually be on a first-name basis with. Now, all of that gets it close to a perfect score. But what pushes it over the edge -- what makes this place stick -- is the White Russian. One of the first drinks I ever had. My dad's drink. Not because of The Big Lebowski -- that came later -- but because it's just always been his thing. And at some point, it became mine too. Typically, when bars try to "elevate" a White Russian, they ruin it. They overthink it. Swap ingredients, tweak ratios, add unnecessary flair. And more often than not, it ends in disappointment. Teardrop does the opposite. They respect it -- but refine it. The coffee liqueur actually tastes like coffee. The heavy cream is properly integrated, not just dumped on top. The vodka -- whatever they're using -- is clean, present, and perfectly measured. There's a subtle complexity to it without losing what makes the drink what it is. It's the best White Russian I've ever had. No hesitation. I've gone back twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. If someone asked me what my death row drink would be -- this specific cocktail, from this specific bar, is in the conversation. Easily. Teardrop Lounge doesn't just make great cocktails. It reminds you why cocktails matter in the first place. And that's why it's my favorite.

    We came to Teardrop Cocktail Lounge while visiting Portland and were genuinely impressed…read more The cocktails were excellent -- thoughtful, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who know what they're doing. One of the best parts was how approachable the bartenders were. We asked for custom drinks based on our preferences, and both came out perfectly tailored. Creative without being weird, and strong without being sloppy. What really stood out was the price point. For the quality of cocktails, the prices felt very reasonable compared to similar craft cocktail bars in other cities. The vibe was also great -- relaxed, cozy, and not pretentious. It felt like a place where you could come for a special drink experience without feeling like you had to "perform" or order off a rigid menu. We liked it so much we actually came back a second time during our trip. Highly recommend if you're into well-crafted cocktails, friendly bartenders, and a laid-back but elevated atmosphere.

It was exactly the vibe we were looking for for a relaxed evening out.
