Where The Drunkards Hangout In Portland
Ace Tavern
Run down cash only tavern.
Belmont Inn
Sports dive on Belmont, caters towards the day time drinkers, and night time U.F.C. crowd.
Commodore
Fortified island citadel of slovenly drunkenness, faithfully resisting the surrounding gentrification.
Copper Rooster
East Burnside dive not really near anywhere else.
Devil's Point
South East Strip Bar for Everyone
Dublin Down Pub

George's Corner Sports Bar
Friendly little Interstate dive with much raved about burgers.
Hung Far Low
Known for its famous sign that was resurrected in Chinatown and for its cheap drinks.
Hungry Tiger Too
Hipsters and old men unite at this two room bar with both meat and vegan friendly menus.
Jolly Roger
Sports bar and dive in uber-hipster zone. Expect a very mixed crowd.
Ladd's Inn
Neighborhood dive with dark, low slung sunken bar, gruff service, and surprisingly friendly regulars.
Marathon Taverna
Sports bar in the loosest sense: games play on numerous TVs, Budweiser banners adorn, the day shift old-timers could care less; at night, TapouT bedecked youngsters from god knows hoot & holler.
Matador
Frequented by homeless alcoholics, punks, D list celebrities, and slumming suburbanites, the Matador sets the bar by which all other Portland dives are measured.
Mousetrap Tavern
Cash only North Portland dive. You have been warned.
My Father's Place
SE greasy spoon dive/diner serves two purposes: Liquoring up the morning crowd as quickly as possible, and warding off the hangovers/cocaine induced morning insomnia amongst PDX's scenesters.
Nite Hawk Cafe & Lounge
Large North Portland dive delivers as it did in it's glorious smoke filled past, albeit with a shiny new surfaces that do little to mask it's true nature.
Papa-Son's Bar
The slow muttering daytime geriatrics transitions into the mile-a-minute prattling of the night time tweakers, and somewhere your brain explodes, gray matter found in the Airstream smoking trailer.
Pappy's Bar & Grill
Evidently, having private locking bathrooms on 82nd creates a bit of a problem that rhymes with Seth. Still, the colorful regulars, surly staff, and lunch counter bar will make you smile.
Renner's Grill
SW dive open since 1939.
Sandy Hut
Portland institution patronized by all walks of life. Cheap!

Sewickly's Addition
One of the anchors of Hawthorne's famed Barmuda Triangle, this bar pours them heavy and cheap.
The Nest
Dive bar with pretty much the most diverse crowd in Portland.
Tony's Old Time Tavern
One of the diviest bars in NW, which is a lot to say, considering it's next door to the Matador.

World Famous Kenton Club
Excellent NoPo dive with gruff but lovable service, colorful regulars, and frequent alt-country/rock acts.
Yen Ha
