    This was my second time here and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere of this place is very casual. Perfect for grabbing a beer with a friend. The bartender was very friendly and helpful with recommendations and didn't get tired of serving us samples. I do wish they had a little more broad selection and most of their beers were IPA's. I love that they offer games to play and have free popcorn as well. I will for sure come back again and recommend for anyone looking for a nice casual environment that's not to loud and you can enjoy yourself!

    The perfect pour.  Notorious IPA3

    I really love this whole concept of being able to walk in and sit down for a cold delicious micro beer. It's kind of like the old fashioned drug stores that had soda fountains only better! That's what they serve... I have to be honest though as their menu includes blueberry mint kombucha, ciders, and even micro cold coffee for what "ails" or ales you. The atmosphere/vibe is even more reason for me to like it as well as all of the beertenders that are there. The lighting is low key. There are places to sit outside and you can bring in food as well. I like these 2 things the best because I can also include Freddie my dog. It's very important especially in the summer when you don't want to leave your pups in the hot car or at home lonely. This is like a neighborhood hangout and extremely chill. They've even got Netflix playing.

    Mmmmm... Beer.

    About time Gresham got an alternative solution with more than 5 taps. Great atmosphere, excellent location with plenty of parking available. Plenty of seating both inside and out, great throwback tunes while hanging out. Hope it gains popularity and doesn't go anywhere!

    Both the 32 and the 64 growler :)

    We really enjoyed our experience here. The beer selection was great.. The prices were competitive.. We both got growlers... It seemed like a local place where the owner knew everyone. The service was great.. And the crowd was friendly :)

I just had the best fried chicken sandwich of my life here--perfectly crispy and flavorful. Their burgers and fries are also top-tier and always hit the spot. The drinks are just as impressive; unlike most places, they make handmade margaritas using fresh lemon, lime, triple sec, and tequila (of course) You can really taste the quality! They also have a fantastic selection of local beer on tap. It's the perfect atmosphere to catch a game. With a giant projection screen and plenty of TVs, there truly isn't a bad seat in the house. Plus, they have a pool table, ping pong, and old-school pinball along with other games. We've also heard they serve an excellent breakfast with homemade biscuits and gravy and breakfast sandwiches--we haven't tried it yet, but we can't wait to come back for it! Whether you're a mountain local or just passing through on your way to or from Mt. Hood, this place hits it out of the park every time.

Fun friendly crowd too - I was rooting against the Seahawks and nobody was bothered. Giant screen for sports, several free games (which is great for the kids). Also a lot of pinball and a few arcade titles. Counter ordering for drinks and food. They run with a light crew so there is usually a line and a wait for your food - it's worth it. And there's plenty of entertainment in there to pass the time. Burgers are phenomenal.

    Horrible service! In…read moretheir defense, I didn't actually eat there. Though not for a lack of trying. I called and was placed on hold for almost 10 mins. I finally hung up because I was pulling into their parking lot. I was excited because they had a covered area and my dog was with me and I had his leash, so I was going to sit with him while the food was cooking. I walked inside,in front of a couple other folks. Walked up to the register and waited my turn, after the guy in front of me. And I waited while the gal behind the counter looked directly at me, multiple times, waiting at the register. After she passed me for the 4th time to help someone else and talk to them, while eyeing me...yes I saw that..I left.

    What a great place! Top to bottom a wonderful experience…read more First time here and won't be the last Our server started off with being super kind and helpful. She was alone as far as we could see. She was our server, cook, bar tender and the face of this place. Even though she was running, sometimes literally, she was smiling and efficient. She was amazing! We ordered wings and jo jo's. OMG were they fantastic. They are southern fried full wings. You are given a caddy of 6 sauces so you can decide. Sweet chili, bbq, honey mustard, Franks red hot, chipotle ranch and ranch. You decide. They were delicious! The jo jo's were HUGE! I posted a pic. Could not eat all of what came. For the table we also had onion rings. Very good. And macaroni bites. Also very good. Bathrooms were very clean. Which is unusual from my pub experience. Everything about this place was great! They also have outdoor which is perfect on a nice day. Very much recommended.

We all enjoyed The food. Large Wings, tater tots, fish and chips, chicken strips, onion rings all were large portions and very reasonably priced I was shocked.

    Buyer Beware. I…read moredon't do reviews. But I felt compelled in this instance: I believe Chester's Pub is a deceptive, predatory business. Judging by the raucous crowd on the patio when we arrived, it did not appear staff was concerned about over serving. Yes, it was a Friday night, but it was not quite 7pm. Further evidence to support this suspicion included: #1) The table next to ours having a member pass out, then rally to vomit violently for several minutes (remember... 7:00), which really did not help our thoughts on food quality, which, prior to witnessing that, was mediocre at best. #2) I said yes to the offer of a 2nd drink. Then, before that one was gone, a 3rd showed up (which I did NOT order). Playing the benefit of the doubt (had I somehow indicated I needed a 3rd...?). I went ahead & decided to just pay for that, but when my bill arrived, I had been charged for FOUR drinks, double what I had actually ordered. I felt this was a predatory maneuver: Over serve guests, hoping they won't notice the over charges. It was my first time visiting, so, perhaps this was an isolated incidence, but it appeared that staff perceived it as normal. I won't return. I advise you to stay absent as well.

I was running BikePAC at the time and was also an ABATE officer. There's a picture of my 97 Big Dog hanging on the wall. Haven't been here since forever. I have a very dear friend, also a life-long Biker who lives in Sandy and we set up a lunch meet here. Always nice to visit with old friends and to get out Clackamas County way where the folks there are half way normal. The new owners (I guess they've had the place for quite a few years so not really new) did a nice job fixing the place up while still keeping it a Biker friendly gin mill. And they added food which is nice. The chowdah is quite good. Not the east coast creamy chowdah I am used to but instead has a nice spicy punch to it. Generous amount of clams which is always welcome. Decent prices. Of course they have beer and booze which I sadly no longer imbibe. The waitress/barkeep was nice and attentive. I gather she is the owner's daughter. Always available if we wanted something but otherwise left us alone to chat. I was surprised at how uncrowded the place was. Nice, half way warm sunny day you'd thing there would be bikes parked all down the street. But it was just the two of us and a tiny handful of what I assume are regulars. Of course you don't need to be a Biker to feel comfortable here. Anyone who works for a living like truckers, loggers and so on would feel very welcome here. Not a huge bar but ample seating for a goodly crew of guests. There's ample parking out front for bikes and a (free) public parking lot across the street. Happy to see that this place is still up and running.
