This place is great. The bartenders are stellar. They provide amazing service and good drinks for a reasonable price. I was at the bar top chatting with a friend about how much I love pickle martinis. The bar tender perked up.. pickle martini? I asked her if they serve them and she let me know she has never made one but would love to try. I let her do her thing and she brought me a great creation. The best part really is the toppings! She was so sweet. This place does karaoke a few nights a week. Everyone there is so pleasant and not afraid to get on stage and sing! They also have two nice pool tables and a covered out door seating area that is enclosed ( important if you know this area ) There is a lovely door person who checks ID's and is very welcoming. I absolutely love this place and enjoy a girls night here! There is a lot of seating which I appreciate. The bathroom is always clean and filled with the essentials. read more

The Eagle Eye Tavern - Pickle martini - Dive Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Sunday night live music was a huge blast! Thanks EET! Food options were limited, but nearby food is awesome.

This is THE BEST neighborhood bar in the area ! AS A REGULAR I AM HERE TO GIVE YOU 100% transparency its so sad to see so much fake news on the reviews that are clearly fake accounts or people who respectfully needed to be removed because of real situations. The staff here is amazing they treat and PROTECT you and everyone who is respectful and responsible just like you are family ! Honestly I never thought to leave a review because coming here is always such a fun and inviting environment but after seeing reviews from people who wont honestly state their wrong doings and want to lie about this business instead of being a productive normal human being I decided to come on here and say PLEASE COME ON IN ! I have such a good time here lord knows I love it so much I start buying everyone drinks lol Seala is a FREAKING ANGEL ! She isnt just bartender she is your bestie your accountability buddy your shoulder to lean on and a wonderful wonderful human Dingo is a clown... no literally in the BEST WAY HUMANLY POSSIBLE! He is hilarious! He will make you laugh while simultaneously protecting you and diligently being aware for everyones safety! AS A WOMAN , the fact that I feel so safe and happy coming here alone that says a whole freaking lot! Do not be deceived by people's malicious reviews just because they highly likely deserved to be removed or did something to be removed because this place is literally a little safe haven with good vibes for all! LOVE LOVE LOVE Everyone here ! Dont take it from me or the fake negativity come in yourself and experience this little oasis for yourself read more

First time here and really liked it. Happy hour daily from 3-7pm which includes $1 off micros. They have karaoke. Clean, divey bar which I absolutely love. Would definitely come back. They also have pool tables and pinball. Lots of space. Friendly service. They only have six taps but do have a good selection of bottles too. HH also includes $0.50 off wells. read more

Really cool spot. One of the chillest and most comfortable karaoke spots in Portland. Really fun environment, always popping but can always get up for several songs! Cool bartenders and KJ! read more

Dive bar is putting it nicely...if you're just here for the booze than I guess they've got that covered.

I was the DD for my group of friends. Obviously it's a Saturday night so if course I would love to drink however I made a pact to get us all home safe. I feel sad I was charged $2.50 for a soda water and lime plus tip of course so $3.50 total. Come on guys way to punish someone for doing the right thing and driving the group home sober. Server was nice. Just a bad policy to charge for carbonated water. read more

The bar tenders are rude and the kj is incompetent at best, it is possibly one of the worst places I have visited in Portland

Loved loved loved coming here! Bartenders were cool, people were cool, drinks were cool and the singers were COOL!! read more

I don't normally hit up the places here by 205 & Foster but was meeting a friend and didn't wanna make him drive further in. Service: From what I remember there was only 1 bartender (Tuesday night). She hustled and was very kind. Food: I unfortunately did not see the food menu or order food so I cannot speak on this.. Ambiance: Well lit with a divey bar feeling. I felt comfortable and safe. read more

Best spot for cheap pool and drinks in town looked at the food menu today and all looked very well priced. Thanks for being cool eagles eye! read more

Second time I walked out of Eagle Eye without getting acknowledged, let alone waited on. Saturday at 4:00 Me and wife walk in, female "bartender " sees us, we sit down at the bar right behind her. She stands at the cash register and scrolls through Instagram for two to three minutes with her back to us and the other four patrons. I've been in bars that are slammed with people and got a coaster sat in front of me as soon as I sit down. I understand things don't always have to be that on point, but this was the absolute worst. It's a shame the staff is so terrible, because it has the potential to be a great little neighborhood spot. read more

Very pleasantly surprised! I had driven by here over the last few months, peaking in seeing remodeling going on, but couldn't imagine it was really my scene. The other night I thought "what the hell" and stopped in. Loved it! The inside I would say is modern in decor. There is a computerized juke box, a pool table, pin ball machine, plus a few others I didn't pay close attention to. Staff here were warm and welcoming. They offer numerous local beers and liquors, which our bartender had great suggestions. Friday and Saturday have kareoke in the evenings, but we were here on a Monday... and I would describe it as "chill." Definitely glad I stopped and will be back. read more

The good ol Eagle Eye Tavern. One of my favorite karaoke spots in Portlandia. It's a down home local bar that takes kindly to those that take kindly. It use to be in a pretty crappy area but, but they have built it up with nicer apartments and business now. I went here when the area was suspect and it was great and it's just and fine if a bar now as it's always been. Affordable drinks, good music, and fun times singing karaoke. Bring your girls out and drop down and get your eagle on! read more

How pathetic is it that I come into your business, spend my hard earned money and I am told I cannot chose a song because I am not vaccinated. But you will allow me into your business? How ridiculous is that. I will never step foot into this awful tavern again in my life. read more

Just moved here and this is the closest bar near me. I felt very comfortable the place was well lit. The service was wonderful I had a beautiful young woman serve me and we had a wonderful conversation. The vibe there is very nice. And I see myself going back there. read more

Great drinks, solid prices, and the staff are ridiculously cool 10/10 would recommend.

Karaoke heaven. Seriously! Cheap drinks, crinkle fries and the best karaoke crowd around. I was blown away by how supportive the crowd was for each singer, so much so, that I sang my first karaoke song ever! It is such a fun atmosphere and the bartenders are friendly and quick. Can I move in? read more

Construction is near completion so here I am with an update. Erin Wagner is a miracle worker. She took an eyesore dive with sub par (and cold in the middle) food and transformed it into a real neighborhood tavern with what seemed like the sheer force of her will and charisma - but also a few gallons of paint, fresh hot fryer oil, personable staff and generally caring about this place and its customers. The Eagle Eye is now my favorite bar. It has my favorite tater tots, my favorite chicken strips, my favorite juke box, my favorite karaoke, my favorite selection of local beers and spirits, my favorite bartenders, and my favorite fellow bar flies. In just a few months, it's reached the status and quality of classic Portland bars like the Triple Nickle and the 'Vern - only slightly newer and shinier possibly more than slightly better. read more

Nice little local bar in the neighborhood. Exceptional staff and friendly folks. Love the atmosphere.

Giving 2 stars for a nice Bartender girl but does not pour a good drink ! Good lord this place is a serious dive bar & I love drive bars for good drinks/pours ! Maybe she poured a 1 & half second pour ...ridiculous sorry but she did it twice on a Vodka on the rocks with house vodka.... I'd get twice the pour at applebees! (God I hate Applebees) read more

Terrible experience. Went here to hang out and play some pool with my friends after a sad day; one of our friends was killed. While we were waiting for the pool table to open up, we decide to play some foosball. 10 minutes into our game the foosball got stuck, we told the bartender named Shawna (she had some weak tattoos). She responded by telling us we had to "buy something or get out". This bar really is for hipsters not for the average folk. read more

First off, this is not a hipster bar. I think people don't know what a hipster bar is. That's the kind of place where 20 somethings sip drinks with lemon peels in it while staring at whatever the current tablet/phone thing is while not talking to each other. The eagle eye is a great place to go after work and get a shot of whiskey and a hamms and not have some little turd turn his nose up at you because you don't have a trust fund and have to work for your money. The gals here are like angels. But way better than regular angels because they bring me whiskey. This is a great place for what it is. A friendly working class bar with personality. There's plenty of other bars where you can go show off your super original beard or pretend to be reading a Kurt Vonnegut book in your skinny pants. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is the karaoke is kind of annoying sometimes. Cheers. read more

Here's a shameless plug for my favorite neighborhood hole in the wall dive, the Eagle Eye. I rang in the new year there. I woke on my couch with my contact lenses still in and one ugly hangover nastily holding any carpe diem from my grasp. I have the Eagle Eye to thank for this. There was also a hot pink Frisbee, an Aerobie to be precise, found on my front lawn. I don't know that the Eagle Eye had anything to do with that. The pros and cons could go either way. The bar takes up a space that looks a little unfinished and a bit rough around the edges, and you may find that charming or sloppy or something in between, but in any case it's quite in keeping with the 'hood. They show Blazers games. Don't know if they just show the ones on KGW or they have Comcast, but I think it's the latter. Perhaps you still aren't convinced about the Blazers, or you're still holding a grudge from the Jail Blazers era. You're a dinosaur, by the way, congrats on that. Roar. They have karaoke on Saturdays. Lots of country choices, but quite a few fun pop songs, too. If karaoke always steers you away, well, at least it's only one day a week. Unless it happens to be New Year's Eve, when I most definitely sang something. Just be happy I don't carry a microphone and an amp in my purse, OK? They have cider on tap. Also, beers. And hard alcohol, though not on tap. It's a bar. Do you like bars? Then try it. read more

I literally got 86'd for reading a book. They said I was falling asleep because I was reading. Apparently you can't be literate in this bar. I wish I could give zero stars. UPDATE: Because I gave a bad review they are now hounding me on social media and saying I'm a drunk and a terrible person. I'm seriously thinking about getting a lawyer for "defamation of character". This is all because I wrote them a bad, but well deserved, review. UPDATE: (Three weeks later) I am literally being called a "rapist" on the comments of my Facebook review by this bar, or someone at this bar (It's a Facebook account with no friends that started that day that they wrote the comments), for writing them a bad review. AVOID THIS BAR AT ALL COSTS! read more

You know that saying "You cant make chicken salad out of chicken shit?" Well, the owners are making me think that might be a false axiom. They took a turd, slapped some paint on it, and slowly but surely the place is starting to become a pretty cool canteen. The atmosphere is a sizable improvement. Dimly lit, candles, dark red and burgundys walls, and vintage bulbs adorn the inside. The place has a rockin juke box which has a great selection. Good pooltables and lots of TV's behind the bar. The owners have excised the video poker and cut out most of the 92nd riff raff that rambles and tramps in. The clientele is mostly mid 20's to late 30's. Gone are the days of 74 year old homeless sailors and destitute weirdos. It always feels good to walk in and know I am the smartest person in the building, but the patrons arent frat boys, thugs, or street toughs. The karaoke absolutely sucks. For some alien rationale, their song selection is very limited. They have many popular artists, but literally zero of their known songs. Its a bunch of b side rock, country no namers, classic rock artists comeback albums, and Keisha. WTF? This place would be a homerun if they updated their karaoke. The cuisine? My friends Joey and Troy love it, which means its greasy as all fuck and may give you 2 heart attacks on the way up to sing Poker Face. That being said, its a kind lubricious grease goodness that transports me back to my college days at 4 am on a Tuesday. The bartenders are great. Very fast service and I have seen them handle a few drunks with a level of patience and serenity that would make Mother Theresa proud. The drinks are stiff and cheap, much like the baronesses and noble women who frequent this saloon, which is my kind of place! If you desired a chic upscale hostelry to sip on signature cocktails and engage in highbrow conversation and repartee, you are a fucking idiot for walking into the Eagle Eye. However, for a typical Portland dive, this place has its charm. The owners are making a lot of improvements and have really turned the tides. After they get the karaoke sorted out, this place will get 5 stars. read more

This place isn't much to look at, but I have watched it's transformation from seedy, gross bar to an enjoyable neighborhood hangout. I realize that for many people, it's not much to look at, and right now during winter it's a pretty chilly bar, but it's a relaxed atmosphere that's only going to get better. First of all, the bartenders are all great! Lani, especially is very cool, and man is she a pool shark. The drinks are good, and stiff. And they really promote the local distilleries, and have an entire shelf dedicated to the locals. Then there is the pool tables. There are two of them, and since the coin slots are broken, pool is always free, which is great for me since I'm not very good and it gives me plenty of free practice. They also have darts, foosball and an arcade game. I'm hoping that they get shuffleboard too, but we'll just have to wait and see on that one. Also they have karaoke on Fridays, and their selection is improving. Tons of fun. If you're looking for a relaxed, neighborhood bar with good drinks, amazing bartenders, and pretty cool patrons, I would suggest checking Eagle Eye out! read more

Super friendly bartenders; owner Erin is kickass. Local spirits, always a cocktail special, always a cider on tap (which I appreciate). Karaoke is fun (though a larger selection of songs would be GREAT!). I've never had bad service. On my anniversary I facebooked them to let them know I'd be bringing a largish group of people, and asked if they'd be willing to make a signature drink for our anniversary. When we arrived, the bartender had decorated the specials board with my and my husband's names and made THREE signature drinks all having to do with love and stuff. It was great. And I would suggest that if you did have bad service, contact the owner and let her know so she can deal with the issue. read more

Karaoke fridays-mondays starts @ 9. Great fried food and some sandwiches, there's really good mexican next door too. Lots of local options on the rotating taps, craft cans/bottles, and spirits. read more

Great little spot. I will walk past 5 places I can get a drink on my way here, making it the closest decent bar to my house. The food menu is a bit lacking, but standard bar frier food is available. Drinks are reasonably priced, karaoke is always entertaining at least. You can drink at the outdoor tables. And probably the greatest thing is the NO VIDEO POKER sign on the front door which basically reads "no crackheads", which for 92nd and Foster, keeping crackheads out is kinda nice. Legit karaoke also. Bumping this place up to 5 stars. read more

Fun karaoke. Friendly bartenders. Good prices on drinks. Place was clean. Bathroom was ran down.

I was thinking of heading here tonight. I've always had a good time before. But I noticed Michael H's review and for anyone who cares he was wasted and obnoxious hours earlier at another bar before he "mysteriously" got kicked out of eagle eye for just "reading". Also I just looked at his Da Hui review in which he literally got 86'd the day before. Again for mysterious reasons that are totally not his fault. Two bars in two days? Time to take a hard look at your life buddy. Really chaps my hide when people give poor reviews to small businesses for their own personal problems. read more

The best bar you've never heard about! This is the place to go for cheap drinks, stand up comedy, relaxed atmosphere & some of the best bartenders in Portland! I recommend Anessa! Tell them Jamie sent 'ya! read more

Pretty standard hipster bar. Most of the customers are rude and the bartenders tend to favor them over anyone else. But the nice bartenders are really nice! They also have fun events often and LOADS of seating. Pinball and outside seating as well. read more

This is the sister bar to the Lions Eye. You'll find the same friendly service, local spirits and a decent tap list. Some answers to your questions: the "scene " is mostly locals to Lents and a little rowdy. This is a good place for groups but you can go on your own (especially on the weekends ) and meet fun people. Yes, there's decent food, no it's not a dinner spot. This is not a karaoke joint for serious karaoke people, but a karaoke night with your friends where you can mess up and be cheered on. (Fri and sat) Also, there's outdoor seating on 92nd ave . read more

The Eagle Eye is still a work in progress, but much has already been accomplished: it is a comfortable, friendly, neighborhood hangout with great drinks and great beer. It may sound cliche, but a good descriptor is "chill". That's the ticket, The Eagle Eye is chill. I have high hopes for continued improvement, as the storefront is being renovated and the place will soon have windows. Also, live music and karaoke is the rumor. In the mean time, come and chill, as this is the place for it in the heart of Lents. read more

Our first visit was on a totally random Wednesday night: Cute bartender cranking out wicked specialty cocktails that she seem to have made up on the fly. Clientele was a mix of hipsters, punks, and less than fashionable ordinary folks, but they all were friendly & jovial. Whole bar rocked down to the endless Pat Benatar tracks (busted you lip syncing, dude leaning on the pool table!), and there was Olympic figure skating on the large TVs. Bathroom was absurdly clean, and I felt like I was in the Portland-version of Cheers! Buuuuuut ...it could have just been those wicked drinks. read more

Anessa is the most attentive, warm & easygoing bartenders that work at the Eagle Eye. It's the only bar I go to now to actually relax. It's unpretentious, lacking in hipsters and has a great jukebox. Also the Karaoke nights are a really good time. Top notch! read more

Best bar around, no doubt. My fiancé and I hang here with our massive dog all the time everyone is amazing. They even bring a big bowl of water out for him when it's hot. This is absolutely my dogs favorite place in the neighborhood. I literally can't think of one negative about this place. The only "negatives" that other reviewers have mentioned are the reasons that you can still get a proper strong drink, a great beer on tap for less than 5 bucks, and you don't have to put up with insufferable yuppies who just bought a 900sf house down the block for 475k. Their happy hour prices area still old Portland low, which rules. God I miss old Portland...ugh. I LOVE that the bartenders don't S the D of every entitled sack of flesh who walks in the door. You want a fantastic bar with awesome service, strong drinks, and great prices? Be cool! Show a little respect for the folks pouring your drink, tip like your mama taught you some manners, and don't be a total butthole. Anyone who wrote a negative word about the bartenders is a total butthole and I guarantee it with more gusto than Tom Peterson. Come here if you want to drink and hang, play pool, or sing karaoke.. Don't come here if you're a sensitive little turd or a tourist who wants a $16 shot of vodka with smoked alderwood ice cubes from a mixologist with a dapper mustache and bourgeois tattoo sleeves that cost more than his college degree back when he used to dream about being a graphic designer for Nike and living in "Portlandia". read more
