We wanted to meet some out of town friends someplace in the NW area of Portland. As regulars at Oaks Bottom Public House, we thought New Old Lompoc might be a good bet. Boy were we wrong! While the food was good and the beer was fine, the atmosphere was lacking. It was so dark we had a hard time reading the menus, and the 4 of us had a hard time breathing while we were there. I was embarassed to have invited my friends to meet me there, and felt badly that we chose a place so completely smoke filled. As the sister pub of Oaks Bottom, a non smoking establishment, I figured we'd be looking at the same environment. I couldn't have been more wrong. If you can handle the smoke it's a decent place to eat, but it's not so good that I can look past the smoke. We will not be returning.
Pros: Good food, good beer, nice location
Cons: parking, smoking is allowed
