In Short – Wood floors, low coffered ceilings, intimate booths, sofas and the hum of conversations lure locals and shoppers into staying awhile. The diverse menu includes burgers, steaks, pastas and steaks, as well as a cheap-eats menu (everything is less than $5) of soups, salads and appetizers. Part of the McMenamins family of pubs, a full range of microbrews and wines are available, including the thick Terminator stout and the chestnut-colored Hammerhead ale.

Tasty, comforting food in a relaxed setting
by chibijosh
My wife and I have eaten here a few times and always enjoy the experience. Everything we've tried has been excellent, with our favorite being "The Cannonball," delicious Potato-Cheddar-Beer soup served in a toasted bread bowl. The burgers and sandwiches are likewise tasty and the tater tots are perfectly crisped. We love the deep, intimate booths, though sometimes they can be a bit of an impediment when you're trying to attract your server's attention. That to my only real quibble with this establishment: the dining room is understaffed. There are usually only 2 staff waiting on the 20-odd tables and it can be a lengthy wait before one of them notices that you've come in and sat down. They've always been very friendly and helpful, just stretched a little thin. Also, there is usually a faint smell of cigarette smoke lingering in from the bar area. It's not enough to be seriously off putting, but we've noticed it everywhere we've sat, regardless of our proximity to the bar.
- Pros: Great food, frendly waitstaff, wonderful setting
- Cons: Waitstaff stretched too thin to provide great service, faint aroma of cigarette smoke is pervasive

Great cozy ambiance, funny waitstaff and cheap food!
by himbeer
Living only a couple blocks away this is one of my favorite haunts. The staff in the bar are just down to earth and funny making for a better dining experience. The cajunized tater tots for starters are excellent and really inexpensive, totally good compliment for a pitcher of beer after a long day at the office. I'd say overall favorite is their grilled smoked mozarella sammich its got pesto and grilled onions and tomato on it as well. SOoooo yummy! Just give it a shot and seat yourself and enjoy a nice pitcher of good beer!
- Pros: great waitstaff, good atmosphere, good value on food
- Cons: none!

Stuffed burger and Ruby Ale...
by jschultz107
Never read a review, just was in the neighborhood and stopped in. They have a limited menu, but everything sounded good. We went with the stuffed burger. I believe it changes daily, so I can't say all their stuffed burgers are this good. This day it was mushroom and mozzarella and it was excellent! Accompanied by a refreshing Ruby Ale, it was tasty lunch!
- Pros: Good food and ale
- Cons: Parking in the nieghborhood is difficult at best
