A classic dive/sports bar with a decent amount of space and a surprisingly large parking lot! (Don't drink and drive!) Picnic tables out front. They have sports on TV, pool tables, games, and video lottery. Staff are always quick to serve at the bar. I finally tried some food and I will say it was worthy of a picture! The classic club sandwich with well constructed layers, but slightly over toasted making it a bit dry. Overall, tasty and better than expected for a bar. read more

So good. I got the patty melt last time, and 5 years ago I got the Gyro, and I got it again tonight. Incredible. The Clam chowder was phenomenal and I'm quite the critic when it comes to it. I highly recommend! Also the bartenders are super chill. Great chill Atmosphere for any occasion! read more

Drinks & environment are great but I would give them a 0 but Dylan & the other girl bartender with curly hair were being so disrespectful towards my friend & I when we played pool together. Laughing in our faces because they were skipping our songs. We gave them $5 to turn up the volume as a tip, respectfully. They continued to be rude and skip our songs after we spent a lot of $ on the juke , give other tables "2" choices to hear their songs, as we're all together playing together. They continued to skip our songs behind the bar & laugh when I paid "6" credits... which is crazy... cause it's only "4" credits to skip a song on any "playsongs" app. Hope the owner sees this cause ur Monday 2/16/26 @ 11pm are not respectful industry worrkers. read more

It was 5/10 it was a frozen and tasteless patty They got have a good variety of drinks, spirits and drafts. They have arcade games and pool tables read more

Everything about this place was great. Vibes, the servers and bartenders, and the food. I had never been here before and all of the staff made me feel so welcome. One of the best experiences I've had dining out in a long time. Thanks Tom's!!! read more

I've been coming here this season to watch college football, Oregon home teams specifically. I thought U of O vs Cal would be on their biggest screen and we made that request, but no, they stuck with Penn State versus Maryland. I couldn't see anyone watching it... anyway we left to find a bar that prioritizes Oregon. I like this place anyway. read more

What a good dive bar should be, friendly affordable and the food and drinks are fantastic. Chicken fried steak and gyros are my favorite. Cozy & neighborly. Always excited to come by. High recommend if you want kick back and relax with a good beer/cocktail. read more

If they are open than they are awesome but often they are closed and thus worthless. The bartenders are sketchy.

Go see Abby she is the best server! Really knows her stuff and makes the best Arnold Palmer! She's is fabulous! read more

There are some trippy reviews on here. I was trying to remember the name of this place, I used to go here when my mom was in a memory care facility down the street. I thought I left a review but guess not. I liked this place. Being used to $ 10 beers where I live it was great get a killer local beer for $ 4. And the place is chill and unpretentious like other people said. I would come here again. read more

This would be a 5 because I love the Friday night bartender and cheap drinks but I witnessed Sally tell a paying customer to leave the premises because the paying customer she "knew" as a regular made a second hand complaint that someone was being too loud. First of all, she's been inside the ENTIRE TIME so how can she say really say that this guy was loud. We are sitting outside for crying out loud and have you tried conversating when the bus stops in front of the restaurant? It's near impossible to hear the other person without raising your voice. I thought Sally, if that is even her real name, would at least give this guy the benefit of the doubt. Just because this guy doesn't regularly show up on YOUR shift doesn't mean he's not a regular. I've seen him on Friday nights and there's never been an issue. If your reason to kick someone, a paying customer, out of the bar you work at is that another paying customer (that is a regular on your shift) complained about voice volume then you better check yourself. I mean W T F. I guarantee you that had that man been a woman, voice volume would not have been an issue. The drinks are cheap and good. The food is okay. Nothing to write home about and they serve breakfast all day. I love that. Skip Tuesdays and Sally altogether but give love to the Friday night bartenders. They are dope guys. And this place has skeeball but the left one is a little janky. read more

Seriously what's not to like about this neighborhood bar. Staff treats you like your family and a regular. A great drink was had by all. Conversation was welcomed and the atmosphere was fun. Next time I try food! read more

Tom's Bar is the perfect place to relax, shoot some pool, have a drink and listen to music. While it's a bit shabby in appearance, the atmosphere and employees make you feel right at home. Aside from the bathrooms needing some TLC, our experience here was nothing short of amazing. read more

Tom's is where my husband likes to go to have a beer with friends and watch basketball, so when decided he wanted to have his 40th birthday party there, I was skeptical that the non-sports people among us would enjoy it. I was so wrong! Not only were the staff super welcoming and accommodating about us bringing in a large group, the Saturday night atmosphere was super fun and relaxed. We were neither the oldest nor the youngest people, the drinks were plentiful and very reasonably priced, and the karaoke was exactly what I like - a lot of people who just wanted to get up and sing because they love it. I'm very, very happy to have had such a great experience at Tom's Bar! read more

Called to ask about updated hours and a woman by the name of "Sally" was incredibly rude and disrespectful, she gave me attitude when I asked about the pool tables and hung up on me, when I called back to ask for her name she read my caller ID name and said "yeah bye _____ or whatever your name is whatever see you later" and hung up. Would NEVER step foot into such a place. read more

All the water is tap water You have to wear pants They don't have a rollercoaster tracks inside None of the bathrooms have a bidet When the heater turns on it gets hot. read more

Loved the guy that works there. He had a weird name. Very knowledgeable. Will definitely be back for dinner and drinks. But not when Amber is there. She gets 1 star as a bartender. Cherry syrup on the bottom and the alcohol on top, really? My crown royal and cherry coke tasted awful. I would've asked for a refund but I didn't have the time to wait. I paid for something I didn't drink. If I see her again, I'm walking back out the door. read more

This is where the real people go in Portland. It's not pretentious, there are lots of fun things to do and the food is not weird. The people who work there are nice but not the phoney looking for a bigger tip nice like you see at chain restaurants. The other customers were nice also, acted like neighbors. It's not fancy , the booths show signs of wear , many people have sat there. You do see the waitress running around cleaning all the time so the place is kept clean and safe to eat there. The bar side looks like lots of fun, video poker, sports on TV, pool tables, karaoke, even Skee ball, you never see that anymore , how fun ! read more

A great local spot that is located in a very centralized are of SE Portland. The bartenders here are second to none. Good vibes and good people all the way around. Many T.V's for the sports needs, ski ball, pool, and video poker. This is all around a good place. read more

Horrible service. I had Sally as my server. She was very rude, dismissive, took over 30 minutes to get to me and another 20 to bring me my drink...and there was hardly anyone there. My first beer tasted very flat and moldy. I'd reckon they don't clean there lines very often. Anyways, this is just my experience. I recommend avoiding if you're passing through. Many great bars...but this isn't one of them. Avoid Sally if you decide to take the plunge. read more

Tom's is a great local spot that avoids the pretentious hipster vibes of many Portland places. The bartenders are fantastic professionally and personally. Very welcoming vibe and asshattery is not tolerated. Tons of TVs if sportsball is your thing. read more

This is one of the best dive bars in Portland, the perfect place for both locals and tourists to enjoy. This short buff bartender Dylan is the absolute best. If you need a laugh, cry or great drink... he's your man. read more

Despite my 5 star rating, I have to preface this review by saying I had the most embarrassing night of my life at Tom's, though that was through no fault of the establishment or staff. It was purely due to my own gullibility and a few mean friends. I had agreed to meet a few of my buddies at Tom's the other night, and as usual, I was the first one there. Quick backstory - my friends and I have a running competition on who has the biggest you-know-what, and they had told me that Tom's had a nightly "game" where who ever has the biggest you-know-what, gets to drink for free for the night. Based on previous rounds of our own "game", I knew that my friend Darius was packing a hog, so I decided to try my luck before the rest of my group arrived, and take advantage of my Italian genes. I coyly asked the bartenders about this competition and I was met with a stunned look of confusion, hastely followed by laughter. At first I didn't know why they were laughing, and so with laughter being infectious and all... I started laughing too. Once the bartenders and I collected ourselves they asked what I wanted. I asked them about how the judging works, like, if someone measured all the guys attempting the competition and had something similar to a score board. That's when the tone took a turn, and the male bartender told me to drop it, and that I was making his female co-worker uncomfortable. Being my naive self, I at first thought that my friends mixed up the bar where this free drinks thing was going down. I explained myself to the bartender and insisted that I meant absolutely no offense. Once I filled him in on what my friends told me, he said that my buds were clearly pulling a prank on me. Then it started to make sense. I apologized and went red in the face, but the bartender was understanding and felt bad for me. I ordered a tequila and Coke and when I went to pay for it I realized I didn't have any cash on me. The worst feeling ever. And he had already made my drink. I told him that I left my card at home but since I only live a few blocks away I said I'd run back and grab it and tip him a hefty sum because of everything that happened. On my walk home though, I received an Instagram notification on my phone because I was tagged in a post. It was Darius, and he had posted a photo of himself and my other friends at Por Que No, enjoying tacos, margaritas, and smiling. I felt pretty bad after that, and decided to just stay at home once I got back. I felt awful considering the generous bartender at Tom's had already poured my drink, but I was just feeling pretty sad. On the plus side though, I saw a dog when I was walking home. read more

Everything u need for a late night good time!! Karaoke, room to dance, pool tables. Smaller beer selection, not super strong drinks, but friendly staff, and cool atmosphere!! read more

Decent food for a bar, in fact, better than average. And the drink pours were good. The place was clean and felt open, and the jukebox was fun! read more

Tom's Bar kicked some guy out for being too loud or something... He was outside and someone didn't like that he had a loud voice. Then went in and complained. Then this lady comes out and kicks him out with no warning. Myself and like 50 other people watched it on a live stream. Pretty ridiculous. read more

My neighborhood bar, great happy hour drink, bartenders are friendly, it's also got ski ball!! A nice place for a group of friends! Also karaoke on Saturday nights! read more

I'm really disappointed. I use to love coming here during the day to have a beer and play some pinball and video poker. I live close to the Reel but prefers Toms because of the large amount of space and they have more video poker machines. I don't understand what is going on but not only does the bartender Chelsea always roll her eyes at you and she takes forever. If it wasn't for the owner I would probably still be standing there waiting to close my tab. read more

If you are looking for delicately spritzed cocktails, exaggerated mustaches, and folks scooting in on their penny-farthing bicycle to work on a manuscript from a portable typewriter, Toms is NOT your place. Toms is a neighborhood joint and Portland staple where all are welcome and "cool" is not a requirement. It is a great place to grab a cheap beer, shoot some pool and meet some new friends. Amber and the bar staff are on top of their game and you won't wait long to be served. Stop by Toms but leave your pretentions at the door. read more

Friendly and competent staff. Food is consistently well prepared and tasty. Soups are all wonderful. Great place to catch a Blazer's game or other televised sports events. read more

Creepy/scary karaoke host. Smug, rude and drunk bartender(s). This is kind of a mixed review because myself and a large group of friends used to come here all the time. In retrospect there was NOTHING special about the bar and no real reason we kept returning other than out of habit. The karaoke host was creepy as hell. Literally never smiled once and always looked like he was on the verge of going postal and would get so mad that he would scream at people at the top of his lungs. Super weird and even a little frightening for some of us. There is one bartender inparticular there that is super smug and always rude. He tries to act like he's our friend but at the same time is a sarcastic jerk. I chose that place to have my birthday last year and at the end of night was very disrespected after bringing in hundreds of dollars in one night. I could have celebrated my birthday anywhere. Our last hoorah there was New Years Eve (again, could have gone ANYWHERE else) and the bartender was drunk. Not just a little drunk, faded. Very drunk. On top of that SHE was very rude and wrote on my I.D. permanently which I still get crap for every time I use my I.D. Her whole attitude was as if she was mad she had to work New Years Eve and said "screw this place." I just recently had my birthday where again my group of friends spent hundreds of dollars and tipped extremely well at obviously a different bar which just reminded I needed to do this yelp. Lol. That, and the daily reminder I have when I look at my defaced I.D. I bet the issue could be rectified but not without some sort of customer service beforehand. read more

Service, excellent! Sarah is a pro! Food is crap. Over salted and over Americanized. Patty melt had AM cheese, wtf! Pita bread very stale. Sarah was awesome but I will not return. read more

Tasty food, drinks, nice relaxed atmosphere. The tv could be turned down though - listening to ads isn't fun

Sort of over-priced for crap drinks... the tab was $32.00 for two coors lights and two vodka sodas. You go somewhere like Tom's Bar for cheap drinks and it makes having to smell piss and gross Portland kid smells a little more bearable... apparently you pay $32.00 for such odors at this place haha read more
