Bar Bar

Fries 10/10 whether it be regular or Cajun, perfect shoestring size & great texture

Burger & chicken sandwich 10/10 i was expecting the chicken sandwich to be fried not grilled but it was great, the sauce they make really enhanced the flavor!

Seem to have a good cocktail menu as well, will come back for drinks!

About last night!

Had a wonderful time. Met up with some co-workers after a volunteer event, and here's my take.

Pros: small inside, but big, heated outside. Order inside or outside at the window, doesn't matter. Far and good prices--quick service (we were at the outside window). Dog friendly!!! For sure, and everyone are respectful owners.

Cons: gets busy as Mississippi Studious does, restrooms could use a clean and staff could have been a touch friendlier. Kinda like "what do you want?'" But, totally okay.

Didn't find much that I could eat, which was a disappointment, as someone with food allergies (actually, not in my head, lol), but moving on.

Groups, dates, or just meeting folks, recommend. Parking is nowhere...don't get me started. Good luck on that!

Haven't had the burger but it looks good and I've heard it is good so maybe will come back with an update upon trying it. Nice outdoor patio. Dinging them a point though for refusing to put the Oregon game on TV though (when they instead just had a movie playing)

Location was nicer compare to bars next to it but drinks were very basic and food quality was basic bar food!

Smoking is free outside which can be good and bad.

Overall you should lower your expectations in Portland!

The decoration and ambiance was fun though.

I would suggest ordering beers and straight shuts instead of any cocktails.

Order: Bar Burger and fry's

Pros: Frys were good.

Cons: the burger wasnt seasoned and it def. Irked my nerves. Also there was Nothen special about the burger. The guy taken the order seemed uninterested in taking orders. Def. Felt rushed when trying to find the right thing to eat.

Nice outdoor seating on the patio perfect for people watching. I had the special, the New Ouster Cult Burger . One of the best 'shroom burgers I've ever had. They should have it one the regular menu, I'd get it every time. Soft, light bun. Arulula just enough greenery for the burger. The assortment of diced fresh mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, lion's mane and shiitake, were sautéed in a flavorful sauce. A slice of white cheese finished it with a nice burger patty. Perfect flavors rounded out by a light mayo sauce. It's a winner!
Excellent, crisp onion rings too!
They have a music club next door, seems like a good place to spend an evening. At lunch it's great with the day-life on Mississippi Avenue

I dub thee the winner of the 2022 Portland Mercury Burger Week.

The garlic chile crisp on top of the buttery pillow-like middle and crisp edge bun make it. So damn good!

The special cucumber, vodka, and ginger cocktail provided an excellent pairing.

We were walking around and the awesome patio area drew us in. It was drizzling but almost every spot was covered and they had outdoor heaters and a fire!

Nice selection of some fun beers! I had an Ecliptic Tangerine Sour beer which was yummy!

There were a lot items marked as unavailable on the menu, so we decided to just grab some apps rather than have our dinner here. Cajun fries and the T-ravs were awesome!

They required proof of vaccination to enter.

I've been eating at Bar Bar for years now and find it an all around enjoyable experience. Service is great, atmosphere is great, food is great and I love the music they play in the background. It's my favorite restaurant on Mississippi Avenue and it's always a winner with family and friends.

Yes we enjoyed our burgers very much. We were up visiting my daughter and her boyfriend who live down the street . A straight forward cheese burger with just the right of available condiments, I can't complain. And won't. Considering I was constipated the day before, and if you have ever shared that experience, you know your appetite disappears. So does your thirst. It's very important to ,even if it is a struggle, make sure to drink water, Gatorade, Liquid IV , or Pedialyte (the best all of them). Anyhow, working your way back to eating , your stomach can be picking and limiting. The Bar Bar Cheese Basic burger though is a first step. And for that I am grateful.
