Today, we did not get to the food. While purusing the menu, we got a view of the cook in the kitchen who was wearing a ripped tank top that did not cover his chest at all. All one could imagine was the chest or armpit hair that could wind up in your food. The initial service was prompt and the server was very pleasant. We left money on the table for the drink we ordered and left. read more

Neighborhood bar with great local vibe. Dark and cozy. Service was good, a little laid back, which is cool if you're not in a hurry. Had a huge grilled chicken sandwich that was delicious. Dogs are welcome inside! read more

A good dive bar that offers friendly service and a nice ambiance. (A little slow) but friendly service, not too loud. Cold beer and good bar food. The burrito was massive and had great taste. The tarter tots and the Junk Yard hot dog were also great. read more

Bartender messed up simple & direct food order. When I asked for replacement he simply rinsed off my original order & tried to give it back bun and all. The sandwich stunk like the toppings he rinsed off. Bartended became defensive & started giving some excuse. Positive past experience hence the 3 stars read more

Still just as good as we remembered. Perhaps even better since after the fire. It's been a while since we've been back but it's still the great place that it always was. And fantastic to see Lindsey behind the bar. A solid staple of the Portland area and a must on any dive bar tour. read more

This is exactly as advertised, a total dive, and they are wearing that badge proudly. Its dark and "shabby", but from what I could see it was clean. Server could not answer any questions about the menu or what was on tap, but she was efficient. I came in because they offer a plant-based burger and a hot dog - maybe I should've ordered one of those but instead I ordered a grilled cheese and tots. Horrible. Bread was stale, tots were soaked in old-tasting grease. I can't recommend it, but if you are brave enough there are a bunch of meaty items on the menu that might be better. read more

Renners is awesome! great service, vibes, food, and drinks. Can't recommend this spot enough! Get the fish and chips! or the chicken strips!

Short and sweet - this place has really tasty, good quality food, at an unbelievably reasonable price. Friendly service and a laid back atmosphere make this a must-do. I can't wait to come back and try one of their much ballyhooed burgers. read more

The most badass little bar around! Awesome staff, stiff drinks, dark and cozy. Can't wait to return

This place is the quintessential dive bar. Dimly lit and old school seating makes it perfect. We sat that the bar and enjoyed the variety of TV shows being shown. Dog friendly place so had fun watching the interaction of the dogs with people in the bar. Food was almost perfect as the fries came out cold. Beer selection was limited but adequate. Remember people it's a dive bar. read more

The gentleman in a baseball cap manning the bar on Saturday, 8/19 when I stepped in around 11:15a to order three drinks and four burgers was likely the most rude, (probably) racist and anti-family server I I have come across. It was a busy time at the bar for sure, and we had put our orders in and waited for about 45 minutes before inquiring around canceling the food order as we closed our tab. His response when I'd politely & apologetically let him know that we had to close out due to our babies' nap schedule: 'that's why we don't allow babies in the bar. Adults have a schedule too and need to nap' and snickered at me and my black girlfriend. I replied that it was my first time at the establishment and he made it abundantly clear we and our families were not welcome at the bar, tipped well on our drinks, and lefty. Needless to say, we don't be coming back. read more

Came out to get a fly swine = burger + pulled pork. It was not on the menu. The menu says "ask about missing items". I ask the bartender "do you no longer have the pulled pork burger" she says "yes it's under Sammies." I try to explain I don't want a sandwich, I want a burger with pulled pork on top. She argues that it's the same thing. So I order a pulled pork Sammie. It is just pulled pork on a ciabatta with coleslaw..... not what I asked for. To clarify... a pulled pork burger.... is a plain burger with a bun and pulled pork on top! So we had one drink each, a burger and sandwich... $53 with tip $63.... For dive bar food.... I remember having food and a few drinks for $30 with tip not too long ago! I get inflation, but at least improve your offerings if you are going to charge more. Get more creative with the recipes. read more

I took my Son here for Lunch last Friday. We ordered inside and sat in one of the outdoor areas, with water all around, and direct table service with a smile. My choice was a Bacon Bleu burger with fries a red ale. David chose a pulled pork sandwich and a mixed drink. Both sandwiches were really good and apparently too much food for the Kid, as he took a to-go box home. The whole Multnomah Village looks different under COVID with all the extra outdoor dining areas. So maybe I wouldn't have given Renner's any attention in the "old days". What I discovered this time is that the inside of the Renner's has a great neighborhood pub/dive bar (with food) feel that my Milwaukee born mother instilled a great love. I'm not sure that this kind of place is up Gayle's alley, but I'm sure I'll be back with or without her. And if she calls looking for me, I'm sure the Renner's barkeep will tell her that I'm not there. :) read more

Food and service was great, amazing time overall. Drinks were great and cheap. The ambiance was also fantastic.

Unpretentious and cool local spot, friendly staff, and some incredible, greasy, filling bites. The Fly Menu rules, and for $5 a pop on each item--you just can't beat it read more

Surprisingly good food (chicken burger and fries). UK / Irish kinda dive vibes. Fun personalities, both bar back and clientele. Wish this were my regular, c'est la vie read more

My wife and I grabbed a drink here while waiting for our table at Casa Vacca across the street, as we were both charmed by its cozy aesthetic, both inside and out. It's a dive, but a home-y one, with a seemingly fun crowd, decent prices, and friendly bartenders. We weren't here long enough to give an in-depth assessment, but we enjoyed our time here, and will likely stop in again, on our next visit to the Multnomah Village area! read more

This is BALLS to the WALL! They had a complimentary sanitizing station, outdoor seating. Fruity Friday fruit special. Veggie Burgers. Amazing tots. Ask for Leslie's margarita special, made with fresh squeezed limes. I love this Art Deco dive bar with personality, local history, local owners, and all of the rights (LBGT/Fem/POC) you can imagine. A gem of SW Portland, only minutes from Downtown. Plenty of neighborhood parking. Key words: Shops, late night, art, local, burgers, veggie burger, wings, hot dogs, dive. read more

Renner's Grill - a bowl of fruit with whipped cream - Dive Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

After living so close in Multnomah Village, I finally decided to check out Renner's and I was pleasantly surprised with my meal! We ordered a Po Boy Sandwich and a Bacon Bleu Burger with an egg! At first I was skeptical about ordering a Po Boy with it being late at night and I'm always concerned about the freshness of seafood, but I loved the deep fried oysters in this sandwich! (UPDATE: I did get food poisoning after ordering this. I would ask about the freshness of this before ordering ) The bread it was on was good but I wish there was more sauce since it was a bit dry, and the sauce was really tasty! The burger was also a bit overdone but the other ingredients really brought all the flavors together. Also just a side note, the server at the time was not properly wearing her facemask (not over her nose) which is always concerning whenever going out anywhere, especially during these times. Just something I would strongly recommend enforcing among your staff! read more

I love this neighborhood dive-y bar. The low ceilings and small footprint lend itself to a speakeasy feel that's very welcoming.

Great cozy bar in Multnomah Village! The inside was so much cuter than expected for a "dive", and our drinks were nice and strong. What bumped this up to 5 stars - their $5 fly menu burger. Exactly what I want when I'm tipsy and just want a cheap, greasy snack. Definitely planning on being back! read more

Fun, local bar, hardworking crew. Dogs welcome, inside/outside. Staff fantastic - don't expect high end, just good

Pleasant time Nice vibe. Tasty beers. Nice selection of other libations. Food is fresh, crispy and wonderful. Ordered the jalapeño burger and it was terrific. Really like the bar design. Two nice bar stations. Combine that with neighborhood / historic groove makes it a winner for all times. read more

I have been going into renners for years. I was pleased so see that they made it through covid. I want in for a rare weekday lunch and when I entered the were a full size sheepdog sitting at the bar. Not on the floor at the owners feet but on a barstool. Mind you not someone's pocket dog in a bag but a 50 pound sheep dog. ON A BARSTOOL! I understand that people have gone overboard with the "support" animals. But this is not acceptable for the bartender to allow. This should not be okay in a restaurant. Apparently heath codes are not a concern for the staff. read more

End up getting food here by accident as everything was too busy so searched what else was near by. Picked up food so can't comment on the location. We got burgers and as they list Ore-Ida tater tots. Well we were surprised and pleased that the burgers were very good, juicy and flavorful, and nice crispy tots. So happy they saved our night!. We would recommend trying their burgers read more

5 star dive bar indeed. Renners has been through the mill these past few years. A fire shot them down for over a year, and as soon as they reopened, COVID hit. Then as soon as restaurants were allowed to reopen, BAM, quarantine again. I am not saying these safety measures are not imperative to defeating the virus... But we all need to make sure this doesn't defeat our local stronghold establishments as well. Renners Grill serves the most delicious place of chicken and waffles, and my boyfriend is partial to the scramble/hash for breakfast. The burgers are ridiculously good! If you are like me and are addicted to pickles, I always ask for extra pickles and they may come out and prank you by bringing you a whole cup full of pickles haha. The staff is caring and loving to those who return that respect. If you come in a couple times then you are accepted as a regular and now this is your home. It is a mark of how beloved this establishment is by the neighborhood that they all pitched in and volunteered time to help clean up after the fire. Renners is an institution in SW Portland. Delicious food, and during normal times cheap good drinks and fun atmosphere. 5 STAR all the way. Support local! read more
