Really nice place. Such a dive. Don't come here if you're looking for a fancy place. Jess was really nice and very friendly. Didn't eat when we were here but they do have bar food. Had fun playing the pin ball game. read more

Best lasagna in Portland. Also the best frozen margaritas you have ever had. Bartender is amazing!! Hats off to the kitchen.

For a first time bar experience for me I liked this place. It's pretty small, but I guess it's meant to be a dive bar. Music is loud, it's pretty lively. I don't know my cocktail names so when I asked the bartender for what he recommended, I got a sex on the beach and it was on the house which was cool. read more

Bartender on Sunday morning 1am 2/15, was a COMPLETE asshole. Me and my 2 friends came in for a drink and first went to the bathroom. he IMMEDIATELY ran to the bathroom to rush my friend out of the bathroom causing a huge scene, yelling and slamming open the door. he ran back out saying NONE of us could be served. My 2 friends left but I tried to have a conversation with him and ask him what the issue was and he was just telling me to get out and not willing to explain anything. my two friends were Hispanic and felt they were being targeted. Other reviews state bartenders being disrespectful and it was probably the same one. Please address this. I will be calling in the morning. read more

The food well we've heard from a customer to not try it but it's a total dive bar with good drinks and really cool atmosphere.

Had a great time at this bar. Great drinks, bartender and customers. The jukebox is cool too. The art on the wall is off the hook read more

Yamhill Pub - Graffiti - Dive Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Very judgmental bartenders here. I wouldn't recommend this bar to my worst enemy. Stay away if you dislike being treated like garbage as soon as you get in. This place may seem authentic, but it's all a ruse just to get you to spend money. read more

Bartender last Sunday hit on me and I'm man. Not really understanding why this happened he was rude to a lot of people and seemed busy.

22$ for two beers and a water and the grungiest dive bar rubbing elbows with street grime? Last time I go there. I don't appreciate being overcharged for something as simple as beer with a friend read more

Atmosphere: Grungy bar. Lot of VHS tapes, loud music. Definite dive bar. Some of the patrons are interesting to talk to but it's definitely one of the more divey bars in Portland. Food: Wouldn't dare eat here. Price: Cheap Service: Terrible. Bartenders don't really pay attention. They are more busy watching WWE or doing what they want than waiting on customers who have been obviously standing there waiting to order. On top of that they were rude on other occasions. The last time in was my last straw after they were extremely rude and confrontational towards my friend. I won't be back here ever. Parking: None. You're best off taking public transit. Overall, this is one of my least favorite places in Portland. Do not recommend to anyone and have heard similar stories from others about the place. read more

F this spot. Bartender is a complete a-hole! Service is the worst and the patrons are tired. Anywhere else would be better.

Great dive bar and ambiance downtown Portland. Years of writing, stickers, and dollar bills grace the walls and ceiling. read more

The only bar I can go and feel the punk. I do wish the folks who don't like punk or know who Wendy O. Williams is would stay out, but the drinks are good and I can always find the punk. read more

Yamhill Pub - Dive Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Someone said in a review of this place that the highest it can get is 3 stars, because it's a grime pub. This is accurate, 101%. Don't let these 2 stars fool you. We were not treated poorly. Our beer wasn't served warm. No one fell through a chair or was yelled at or kicked out. No, no. This place gets 2 stars because it can only get 3 anyway and it does not deserve a one! So, Roxy, tell us, how did you like Yamhill Pub? Well, the only 2 pictures I managed to take should really say it all. The graffiti written above the pub sign stands out but not as much as the horde of cigarette lunging, homeless people who filled that graffiti covered sidewalk box fronting the doorway. I had to power walk past them and boy did I wish I was carrying some kind of protection -- mace, bear spray, a dagger, shurikens, a BB gun, electric bug zapper, anything! My silly self thought I should wear a pink Coach bag in Down Town. I should have been mugged or had my purse snatched. Anyway, back to the sign and the homeless hot box covered in low quality graffiti. So, there I was, coming up on the sign, in what I originally thought was an abandoned building. I clutch my Coach purse close to my body, desperately trying to hide the brand name that was undoubtedly screaming at everyone. I briskly walk past the hot box and it's bike toting inhabitants, I make a bee line for the door thinking that if I can get inside, I'll be safer for sure. Well whatta yknow.. I walk in and I don't get that warm fuzzy feeling after all. I don't think I'm too much safer in here.. it's this gosh dang pink purse. UGH. I pledge to never wear this thing in Portland ever again. The walls are bare, as in they have no sheet rock, just studs and ply wood covered in years of graffiti. I mean, graffiti on graffiti. Layers of the stuff. I glance around, my eye spies a small selection of spirits, a few taps, some bar merch that I found hilarious (wish I got that damn tshirt!), and a 25 cent peanut vending machine. I know how I'm about to sound but I'll say it anyway - Idk how hygienic those nuts are. I'm pretty sure that vending machine is meant for China made, plastic kids toys or old fashioned gum balls but anyway, who am I to judge. If the people want vending machine peanuts, they are getting vending machine peanuts! I meander up to the bar, it takes a minute for the bartender to come over (he was telling someone a story so duh, why stop on account of customers.). I glance around, what appear to be regulars are all happy and laughing, drinking their beers. So I order a beer. It was cold and delicious because it was Widmere Hefe. My partner gets some kind of whiskey on the rocks. No cube, no, no, you get straight up, classic ice here. We find a table that seems empty, we sit down and somehow, finish our drinks in record time. 5 mins tops? I have to pee but the graffiti covered sign that points the way to the bathroom warns me to wait. We pay our tiny tab and silently say good bye since no one cares that we are leaving so soon. I hustle my way out of the front door, clutching my bag again, and find my way onto a highly populated street. Ahhh, safer now! In conclusion, friends, Yamhill Pub is a place for those who want a cheap, cold beer, and don't want to bothered by the rest of the world. You can sit at the (small) bar and drink your sorrows away, buying vending machine peanuts when the mood strikes, and talking to your shoes, and no one will bat an eye. Will I be back? Gee, no, not intentionally anyway. I like a good dive bar with their greasy fried foods and bar flies who know the owners by name, but this place is on another level. Me and my pink purse don't belong but it doesn't mean you won't! Cheeeeeers. read more

Bartender was a complete ass. Heard him yell at multiple people coming in just bc he could. My first drink was $5 second of the same thing was 8.50. Went out to smoke came back in and friend sat down in a chair and fell completely through. The chair didn't have a seat. Bartender then yells at her for sitting there. What bar has a seat with no bottom??? She is bruised already complete BS. I understand this is a dive bar but this place needs shut down. read more

The Yamhill Pub used to be a dive and I see it's matured nicely into a punk/metal bar. I really like this place now. I think I was last there some 30 years prior and I am glad it's changed. read more

Have always loved this bar when comin to pdx. Unfortunately this time, the bartender claimed my friend hit a vape Inside the bar?? Like first of all be 100% sure before you accuse someone and kick them out. And then the bartender kicked us out because I didn't hear him say hi before I took a piss and he was upset I didn't say hi back???? read more

Bartender was very nice. Place has affordable drinks. It's a perfect little dump. Probably my favorite bar.

I recently stumbled upon the Yamhill Pub and was absolutely blown away by the exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, it felt like stepping into a five-star, upscale lounge. The ambiance was so sophisticated, I almost forgot I was in a bar. The decor exuded elegance, with not a single trace of graffiti in sight. The aroma was a delightful blend of exotic flowers, and the spotless surroundings made it evident that cleanliness is a top priority here. Who knew a dive bar could be this refined? The service was beyond impeccable. The staff, dressed in chic attire, treated me like royalty. The bartender, Armando, was a true mixologist genius, crafting the most exquisite cocktails I've ever had. Each sip was like a journey through flavor paradise. The patrons were all distinguished individuals, engaging in intellectual conversations and enjoying the soothing melodies of classical music playing softly in the background. No rowdy behavior or loud cheers; just the epitome of class and sophistication. And let's not forget the delightful surprise of a live jazz band playing on a stage that magically appeared! The musicians were incredibly talented, adding an unexpected touch of glamour to the evening. In conclusion, if you're seeking an upscale, refined experience with top-notch service and an atmosphere that rivals the most luxurious lounges in the city, Yamhill Pub is the place for you. I can't wait to return and revel in the opulence once more! 3 stars because it's a dive bar and I'm an idiot read more

I like dive bars but damn, this place is just dirty and depressing. A tiny room with a couple tables and like 6 bar seats, no pool or nothing except a pinball machine. Faint aromas of piss dance among your nostrils throughout the duration of your stay. The draft beer is regular price but they have $3 pints of PBR and pub beer. And a 25 cent peanut machine lol. read more

Yes,yes,yes. Soooo dive-y. It feels like home to me. Everything you could ever want from a dark, graffitied shit-hole(and I mean shit-hole in the best way possible). Have fun and Go Fuck Yourself love this place! read more

Yamhill Pub - Outdoor Seating area - Dive Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Cheapest drinks in this city and the best bartender too. God has abandoned us but the Yamhill pub never will!!!

If a grungy punk rock bar is what you're looking for this is 5 stars. I haven't been there in a while but they have cheap drinks and a clientele that looks rough but in a charming way. Lots of sharpie graffiti throughout the place. read more

This was a great shit hole. Great service. Solid beer! Decent pricing. Weird people. Graffiti everywhere. I'll be back

This is hands down my favorite place for a drink in Portland. The people there are always fun and the bartenders are awesome if you're not a jerk and perfectly rude to people who are jerks. It's equally fun outside or inside and watching a trash movie. read more

Definition of a dive bar. It's small, dark, and hidden. Walked in on a Thursday afternoon and there was me and one bartender, who must've been the owner because he had been there for 20+ years he said. Had a couple beers, talked with him and regular. Nothing to write home about, but it was exactly what I expected. read more

I've seen slightly bigger dumps in John Goodman's toilet. Ranked #289 of 364 bars in Portland by a popular website that advises people on trips. I like a tiny, loud, trashy dive, but something about it wasn't welcoming, so I get the feeling it's a great place for locals or when it's empty. My wife described it as a place where Rizzo the Rat would ice skate on butter, which I assume is some weird Muppets Take Manhattan reference. read more

Hello . I came in here two nights ago while my granddaughter was at handm, I couldn't be in there, it made me feel old and the music was very loud ! A young person named Armando helped me, and when i asked if Todd-Paul could be there, he said "I don't beeping care" and I said "thank you!" Their jukebox was playing some nice John Denver, everybody around was singing along to it. This place smelled like disinfectant and i had a " black and blue" as Armando recommended it to me . I was thankful that the bathroom had a lock, and it seemed like a boon that the water was working. Todd-Paul had a water . My granddaughter texted me and told me she needed my credit card , so I said "give me another black and blue Armando! And a double water for Todd-Paul!" When I got to handm, I was glad that my granddaughter has her learner's permit . Todd-Paul and i say in the backseat and pretended she was my chauffeur. thank you . read more

Yamhill Pub - Graffito wash room - Dive Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

A great dive bar with Touchtunes. Didn't try any food but we have been 2 years in a row and I think these guys are great. PBR is the specialty of the house. A fun time was had by all! read more

What a dump bar. Notice I didn't say "dive" bar. The smell of body odor from the bus depot homeless was overwhelming as I walked around trying to find a non filthy place to sit. But the worst part is that a couple of normal drinks cost $20 (with a tip). Perhaps they saw me coming and failed to give me the hobo discount. First time last time. read more

After a night out on the town after a concert we didn't expect to see this dive bar, but the bar was the vibe! We questioned walking in at first but the service of the bartender and customers were absolutely amazing! We stayed a little too long out after a concert and there was some concerns about other customers and the bartender and another caring individual were so aware of it that they asked if we were okay. They continued to make sure we made it home safe, 10000% would come back to karaoke and drink here! They were honestly so amazing! read more

Cool little pub with a lot of personality and stiff drinks. We each had 2 cocktails, which seemed like 4 haha. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Last shit-hole dive bar a la punk rock downtown. Last real dive bar downtown period. And it's a fucking glorious, bare walled, graffiti strewn, doors torn from the toilet stalls masterpiece. The staff are super genuine and friendly, and the joint is refreshingly free of douchebags, who are clearly and thankfully afraid to walk in the door. And even more thankfully, it hasn't been 'discovered' and colonized by the trendy asshole hipster set either. Full bar and a decent selection of taps. Very reasonable prices. Frequent and support and nurture this gem of an establishment. There are fewer and fewer places left like this in Portland. read more

Greatest dive bar in Portland!! Love Armando's service. He will get stressed when it's busy but cut him slack, he's a good guy. Love that's it's not pretentious. Come as you are. read more

Not POC friendly. Owner was great and personable but on other days when other staff are there, it becomes an exclusive and elitist punk/ rock club. Needless to say, I will not return. Other people may have better luck and that's just how some place in Portland are and I've come to accept that. read more

Upon touch down, Jeeves and Mildred, my grandparents visiting from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch village on the island of Anglesey in Wales, Britain, promptly advised me that we were headed to the Yamhill Pub. Upon entrance, the smell of freshly buttered lobster and vintage port filled the air, monocle-clad servers bustled with trays of beluga and fois gras flight boards. The night was majestic and memories of this charming olde world pub still dance through my head on occasion. If you are visiting Portland, this is the first and only establishment that should top your itinerary. read more

If you love the the appeal and grit only a dive bar can bring then this is the place for you. Paintings, stickers, and markers filled the walls. The bartender was chill and the drinks were stiff. read more

the service gets worse every time i go but this time was something else; my group was refused as soon as we came in, 2 of us had passports and the a hole bartender checks one and immediately says it's fake ?? who tf wastes their time on a fake passport and there are stamps from other countries too lmao i promise just go somewhere else... the dive we went to after was laughing as they verified all of our IDs were valid read more

We went out with my friend for her boyfriend and the bartender wouldn't serve us even though we were all 21 and all vaccinated. He was rude and didn't even entertain the idea of serving us. He was rude and wasn't willing to be nice at all. Don't go. Not fun. Not yam hill oriented. Just rude. Awful. read more
