Scooter McQuades in Portland, Oregon

“The perfect bar. Music on point. Pours heavy. Atmosphere appropriately dark. Best Patty Melt Iu2019ve ever had, and Iu2019ve had a lot of them all over. Might go back to Portland just to hit this joint. Proper.”

“Itu2019s a dirty little dive bar. I appreciate the generous pour. We stayed for one drink and that was enough. I would visit again, but itu2019s not a place that I want to hang out at all night. That is just my personal preference. But it is a great low key place for affordable drinks and decent atmosphere.”

We wanted to go and have a drink somewhere for happy hour and my daughter said do you want to go to the best dive Bar downtown? It was great. The atmosphere is welcoming.

“This was a fun place my buddy and I found walking around Portland. You gotta stop and have a beer here. Nostalgia all the way. Decor is cool and beer is cold. Veronica was great. Locals were very welcoming. I even bought some art while there. Check it out!”

“We came here after a concert because we were looking for places that still serve food. Scooter McQuades was open till 2am. We ordered Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Chicken Strips with fries at the bar and they served us inside. They all tasted fresh! The fries were a bit too salty but tolerable. I definitely recommend this place for late night food.”

“I accidentally paid for four hours of street parking in downtown and decided to make the best of it by exploring. Came in for a little cider and to my happy surprise this place was beautiful inside and a very friendly bartender. Itu2019s got great energy and will definitely return. I recommend for a nice spot to stop for a beer. Avoid the McMenamins chain restaurant around the corner and head here for a more real feel.”
