much better non smoking!. Have always enjoyed this spot. Much better with clean air
Great Location, but something funny about the food. I really like the location and outside area. The mixed drinks are great, and a great place to spend a Sunday. I would recommend staying away from the food though, guaranteed to give you stomach issues.…
Cute Neighborhood bar. Came here as last bar in the night. A little crowded, but able to find a table in back. Hummus is good! Drinks are decent if you not looking for anything fancy. Eclectic music tastes on the jukebox, and it seemed like every song played did not deter from the friendly hipster vibe. Nicely decorated in a Moroccan theme. Love the idea of their freshly squeezed cocktails, but did not try any out.…
Great little bar . . ..
true . . . and they may have never said they were the oldest Alberta Street Tavern . . . but the hyperlink that directed me here did . . . Binks is quaint (if you like gentrification) . . . it may
have Fat Tire (as do several other bars in PDX), but if they don't want to claim bragging rights for have 'stated' that they were in fact the oldest tavern on Alberta street then I suggest someone correct the error.
I grew up on Alberta street, I have been to Binks . . . it is a great little spot with very friendly people, but they are one of the newest bars on the block.…
Last Thursday special!.
This is THE place to hang out for last thursday on Alberta but get there early if you want to claim a decent spot outside.
The drinks selections are a bit on the sparse side compared with other spots nearby but the place has a decent atmosphere and is popular with the hipster tattooed set.
The place isn't that big and with no air conditioning it gets a bit stuffy on hot summer days. There's a great jukebox that has a pretty wide variety of choons. A small pool room with a garage door that opens up onto the street.
The service was ok, but it's apparent that the regulars get preferential treatment when it comes to who gets served first when there are a few people waiting and only one or two bar staff working.
The food is pretty basic pizza fare that is made in-front of you behind the bar and the smoke blowing from the bar does not make the food any more appitizing.…
