What People Are Saying About Basement Pub
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – Replete with a fish tank, the old-school arcade game Asteroids and a cache of tattered Encyclopedia Americas, the Basement Pub feels like your best friend's rec room. Open since 2001, it has quickly established itself as a neighborhood hangout and a pickup scene for the Hawthorne set. – – The Draw – It's all about value at the Basement--fitting, since it was formerly a convenience mart. Pabst and Hamms go for $1.75 a pop and microbrews are $3.25; a few basic wines are available for $3 to $4. Small, dark and low-ceilinged all around, flattering candlelight…

Bad service
by brownale
I've been coming to this place for years, but likely won't go back. The service has finally gotten to me. It's consistently poor, but tonight was an all time low. Oh well. Plenty of better places without the bad attitude coming from behind the bar. The food is pretty bad too, so it's no real loss.
- Pros: cheap
- Cons: terrible service

Hangin' in the basement again for sure!
by TheBison
Was int town from tacoma, looking fro a non pretentious, fun, dive bar my fiancee, a friend fo orus and I could go to , be relaxed, have some inexpensive drinks and enjoy a good evening.
We found the Basement pub on Citysearch, sounded like our kind of place so we went.
We were FAR from disappointed, had a great time, the owner purchased us some drinks, the bar is just as it is billed, like your friends rec room.
I got to watch my Pats beat the Giants on their TV then relaxedo n the old comfy couches while I enjoyed Hamms & played some Pac Man.
Point being this was an awesome place, I will be bacl again for sure and have recommended it to all my friends who go to or through Portland.
- Pros: comfortable, inexpensive drinks
- Cons: none I could see

Great bar to meet people at for a beer.
by scher19
Cool place to lounge that might as well be a friend's house...too small to have a bunch of idiotic drunks in and they only serve beer.
Cool style and a worth bar to check out if you haven't yet.
- Pros: Good atmosphere and a great relaxing bar.
- Cons: None really.
