This is definitely a dive bar, however it is a great dive bar. Friendly staff, good drinks and a surprisingly good food menu. For a budget-friendly option, the fly menu is a go-to. $6 for a burger makes it an easy dinner choice. Renner's has been around forever and has maintained a really fun vibe. We were there a few weeks ago with karaoke and it wasn't incredibly fun crowd. Plus there is outdoor seating which is perfect for a summer beer. read more

Multnomah village is this charming combination of old school businesses, village charm and only 10 minutes outside of Portland. The hidden gem in the village is renner's. They are literally in the heart of the village without door patio sitting that is perfect for summer nights. Excellent selection of beer and drinks. However, the real gem is the food you can get to go with your beverage. The fly menu which is available 7 days a week is incredibly budget friendly. I was able to get a delicious veggie burger with cheese for $6 so it is easy to go out for a meal, enjoy the outside summer seeding, give a nice tip and you're still under $20. The staff are incredibly friendly and the vibe is that old school bar. Definitely on my list of affordable go-to places for a burger and beer after work. read more

This place is exactly what I think a dive bar should be. Dark, cramped, booths and a long bar. And of course TVs! Service was very friendly and not overly solicitous. Brought menus, took drink order (my had a very healthy pour) and went away to give us time to decide. When it came food was great! BLT was full of crispy bacon, fresh lettuce and maters and best of all not drowning in mayo. Burger was huge with all the usual accompaniments. Best of all a huge pile of pickles - so many places give you two tiny slices. There was a very steady stream of folks coming in, placing orders and taking them to sit outside. I think I found my new favorite place. read more

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

I've been going to Renner's Grill for 40 years off and on. It's always been the coolest dive bar around with great food. And NOW, it also has the coolest server around- Morgan! They know my name and my order and appreciate getting to know the customers. Food is still fabulous and the drinks are still affordable. This place is so comfortable. 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

If, like me, you're down for a quick, no-frills burger or dog, it's waiting for you here. It's even better if your server is Morgan, who's efficient, personable, and superb at what she does. 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

Renner's Grill - Dive Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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!

Come play drag bingo on wendays @8pm!! The host slays!! Also the house burger is perfect

Good drinks and good vibes. Love the employees. It's been around for a long time so there's a lot of cool pictures on the walls to look at. They also have a lot of fun events like drag bingo every Wednesday at 8. read more

Cute dive bar with super fun drag bingo night on wednesdays with Sativa GD Jones. Nice way to spice up the week.

Great bar restaurant with a lively clientele and a friendly bartender, too!! Had the fish and chips with shoestring fries, three pieces of fish and a very tasty coleslaw. My daughter had a pull pork sandwich that she enjoyed, too. Will definitely be back and interested in their Wednesday bingo, too. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
