We're testing a new design in Portland, OR Metro.
It doesn't have all the bells and whistles yet,
but we want to know what you think.
If you prefer, switch to old Citysearch.
I like this place a lot. It's not exactly classy. The pizza isn't the best. But there are cocktails and beer and shuffle board and pool tables. And best of all, ping-pong. This is an excellent place to test your semi-sport skills against Portland's finest randoms. Low key and comfortable and also within stumbling distance to about, oh, twenty other bars :) View Less …
ping-pong. Pizza was doughy, but the beer was cold and they have a ping-pong table.
BETTER NOW.
I AGREE WITH SOME OF THE BAD REVIEWS FROM A COUPLE YEARS BACK. I'D GO FOR LUNCH & THE WAITRESS WOULD BE TALKING & LAUGHING WITH "THE
BOYS". IT SHOULD NOT TAKE AN HOUR FOR YOU TO GET AN ORDER.
THEY HAVE UPPED IT SOMEWHAT & SEEM TO BE TRYING. PIZZA IS GOOD.
GIVE THEM A TRY & FORM YOUR OWN OPINION. THINGS HAVE CHANGED!!!

great place to watch Blazer games!.
UPDATE 2/28/2011: My friends and I have been coming to this bar to watch Blazer games for years. The service has gone downhill with the
addition of the two new female bartenders, who have been at the bar a year or less. We experienced a poorly-handled, drama-filled Oscars/Blazer game situation last night. On other nights, we get slow (and sometimes rude) service from them. The new female bartenders do not do a fair job representing the family that owns the place, nor the other people that work there.
All we ask is to be treated like they are glad to have us there.

Original review:
This is a fun local sports bar owned by a very nice family. Recently remodeled with hardwoods, and new bathrooms (very nice). I go here to play pool, or to watch Blazer games with friends. It's also a great place to people-watch on 21st. Sometimes it seems like people only leave reviews on this website when they want to complain- so I thought I would let people know that not everyone who comes here has a bad time! This is a great place to have in my 'hood!

Alienating.
I am rating Silver Dollar based on customer service alone --- I never even got to their pizza or drinks. I hope they read this.
I was waiting at the bus stop tonight with a couple heavy Trader Joe's shopping bags, and sat on the edge of one of Silver Dollar's covered outdoor tables, 4 feet from the bus stop sign. There is no room for a bus shelter here due to their benches, and the curb is covered in cigarettes.
I am at their table for 1-2 minutes (the bus is coming in 12 minutes) when a guy opens the bar door and says, "Uh, you gotta move somewhere else ma'am. Come on. Let's go!" And I kind of mumble (surprised and embarrassed in front of drunk Silver Dollar patrons out smoking) that I'm just waiting for the bus, and then get up and stand a few steps forward by the sign.
The only time I've heard anyone talk to another person like this is to a homeless person who may be falling asleep etc. on the table, and I was only sitting there a couple minutes minding my own business. Besides, it is always wrong and cruel to speak to another human being like they are a victim of lobotomy.
Additionally, experiences like this create a terrible public image for Silver Dollar. What if I were waiting for a friend to get pizza or a drink there? What if I was a regular customer? I am in the area a lot. Besides, most places don't care if you sit at their outdoor tables (think any coffee shop) -- especially in winter when they are vacant. And if a place does care, they place a sign on their tables or windows saying "Reserved for customers of this establishment." Silver Dollar did none of this, but they did alienate me, and I will never recommend them to anyone I hang out with at Cinema 21 (across the street!) or go there myself.
