Editorial Review for Pub at the End of the Universe – by Nancy Levenson

In Short
This hidden find is a few turns off the beaten path, even for most SE residents. The unlisted phone number and sign that simply reads "Pub" aren't exactly screaming for your attention. Reed students and other mellow types navigate their way here for a variety of beer taps. They also make the trek for the four pool tables and the non-stop dart-action. Menu items include soups, sandwiches, baked potatoes, and chips and dips.

User Reviews for Pub at the End of the Universe

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Tonight I went in to the pub to get a soda. I no longer drink. The bar tender lady treated me like I was a piece of trash for having the audacity to enter there without having a desire to order beer or wine. She rudely said "we are a beer and wine only place." I left shortly thereafter. I guess the bottom line is this: If you go to bars but prefer not to drink, avoid the unfriendly and rude Pub At the End of the Universe.

Pros: beer if you like beer

Cons: If you don't want alcohol they don't want you there. Also it was very smokey

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

One of the best things about this place is the types of people that usually hang out there. You won't find groups of loud, obnoxious, drunk frat boys hitting on every woman that moves, intimidating others, etc. (Well, I've been there about 10 times, as it is within a few blocks "stumbling distance" of my place, and haven't seen that type yet). I usually go to play pool, and the 7-foot, 50-cent bar tables are pretty decent -- though some shots are very cramped due to not enough room. The rails are good quality and the felt is in relatively good condition. There's a higher quality 8-foot table on the upper level, though it costs a quarter more each play. On Sundays they have a little pool tournament, if enough people (6+) show up. It's usually $4 to play and double-elimination style (so if you lose once you're not immediately out). Winner takes all if it's around 6-15 playing (no cut for the house). The players are above average, but not pros/sharks, which makes it fun for intermediate players. Despite the one [at the time of this review] negative review about very poor service, I've always been impressed with the bartenders. They are always friendly and willing to give you change in quarters. And one more thing every bar should do: they have cups and water for self-service, so you don't have to bother the bartender for free water. (-male, 25)

Low-key bar attracts local Reed students for games of pool and casual bar fare.  See the full editorial review.
