Not your trendy Casa Del Matador chain!. Whenever we want a good stiff,cheap,drink and some yummy bar food we head down to The(Original)Matador.I get serious cravings for their garden patty melts and their macho nachos could feed a bevy of drunkards!I like to call it a "slice of life" in there cause there are always people from all walks of life so it ads to the entertainment factor, which there is already alot of going on.Pool tables,video poker,photo booth,pinball,basketball,darts,punching game,mega touch,one of the best jukeboxes in Portland,a variety of D.J.s!

Worse bar experience ever!!!. Terrible service!!Food?!We couldn't order food because the bartender(jerk!)said that they were not a restaurant and that our order would take FOREVER ,and also that their kitchen wasn't set up for a order of 4 burgers,that's right, 4 burgers!!

WTF!?

Why do you have menus for food on top of the tables if your kitchen is not set up to prepare food?!And that was at 11:30 pm the kitchen was not even near to be closed!

Shame on you!!!

Portland Icon. The kind of place where you never know what will be waiting for you on the other side of the door. Great bar! Really comfortable with cheap stiff drinks, this bar has been locally owned for forty years. Cheers!

P. S. Don't get it confused with Seattle chain Casa Del Matador. Not the same at all!

Great DIVE BAR!!!! Cheap food! Cheap Drinks!!. Well, it's a nice "dive bar." They have cheap food, cheap drinks, and the bartenders always serve you, even if you are drunk! I am not gonna lie!! I've heard it's very hard to get "86'ed" from this bar. They havew $6.00 PBR pitchers and 25 cent pool!!! I recommend this bar very highly except for the night that they have the live band becuase those suck!! If they have a live band, chances are, it's going to be bad. If you are a band trying out, might want to contact them! But on a lighter note, it's a great bar!! You can get trashed and they won't kick you out!!
