The Trough Bar & Billiards in Portland, Oregon

“The music was bumping, the locals seemed cool. The bartender closed me out early, which was probably for the best. Last bar after a long day/night. Large and open with several pool tables and plenty of seating. Again it was late so not super busy.”

“Iu2019ve only been here twice and the keep remembered us from weeks prior. It was kinda strange being enlisted as security for a loud party on my first visit. The second visit was much more low key.

“I want to preface this review by saying the bartenders here are amazing and I had an awesome time up until the incident in which occurred last night.

“Was a little packed in and there was not any place to park when I got there. The atmosphere was decent and the people wore a nice smiles. Everyone was chill, small wait for a pool table and the balls were an odd pastel color. Iu2019d return if the parking was feasible.”
