In Short
Oversized, gold-framed mirrors and regularly changing art add an air of sophistication to the otherwise plain interior. Patrons relax in comfy booths and cozy up to the velvety walls or grab a seat on the inviting back… Read Full Editorial

Good food, HORRENDOUS service by mfullnotes via Citysearch on 8/4/2011

I've been here a few times, and this was the worst... but also the last! I realize they are busy during peak hours (happy hour, etc), but management should staff appropriately or else this crap happens! My party of 6 sat on the patio-…

Ugh, AVOID at all costs by FiInPortland via Citysearch on 7/23/2011

This place is horrible. I actually went into this place last night after work after looking up a decent bar online. I should've read the reviews... When I sat down I was greeted with a, "oh, so do you want a drink or something?" with her…

Beautiful Koi Pond and Patio out Back! by nameisalreadyinuse via Citysearch on 6/8/2009

The restaurant side of 21st Bar and Grill is pretty decent, featuring artwork by local artists hung nicely on the walls. However, the bar side is indeed pretty divvy. Forget about that and head straight back to the deck. Their patio is…

Rude service and bad food by JillPDX via Citysearch on 2/27/2009

Listen, I eat out all the time. I was hoping for a simple dive bar with simple food. What I got was all bad attitude, no service, a burger with a hair in it, waitstaff that didn't care, and yelled at when I asked for something else off the…

No Good by TJinPDX via Citysearch on 11/11/2008

If you hate good times, great service, and good food then this is the place for you. \r \r In a nutshell, I have given this place three chances, and they have struck out. Every time I have gone into this desolate hole in the wall I am…

Do not go to this place!!! by dontgoto21avbar via Citysearch on 11/10/2008

This wouldn't be a bad place if the owner/management would never go into it again. I think the owner and managers are under some sort of belief that 21av bar is located on Rodeo drive LA and they are better than all the customers. The…

horrible customer service by notgivingmyname via Citysearch on 10/26/2008

I like the food here but I am repeatably disappointed in the customer service. It takes a long time to get the food and the atmoshere is dark, smoky and dingy.\r Can't recommend it.

Surpisingly good food, great patio by YipKanker via Citysearch on 8/21/2008

This is a great place considering it looks like a dive bar from the outside. The smoking section is, in fact, a little dive-y, but the other half is more upscale, giving you the option to go with either environment. The patio is one of the…

Only a new owner can fix this by alexa0501 via Citysearch on 7/27/2008

Poor management, lazy service and inconsisent recipes.The owner should either learn the behavior of a host to his guests and a supervisor to his staff or (likely a better idea) go into a business that doesn't require direct contact with…

Great urban hangout by mrb65 via Citysearch on 11/2/2006

If you are looking for a quiet, low-key romantic bar to get a cocktail, this isn't the place for you. However, when you want to hang out at a neighorhood bar that offers very good food (especially as far as bar food goes - the steaks are…

Decent place to watch the game by katkin via Citysearch on 10/24/2006

The hamburger was average, but definately not the best in portland as I read in reviews. Service was super slow for a football Saturday, and the older man who helped us was kind of rude. Jalepeno poppers were hot and decent, but a bit…

Incredibly RUDE owner/manager by pdxcitygirl via Citysearch on 2/3/2006

The food here is good, but after the owner/manager was incredibly rude to our party I will never return again. He SCREAMED at us and we walked out it was so bad. Do NOT go to this place, the service is so lousy that it's not worth it. …

Not so nice by waltsgirl via Citysearch on 1/13/2006

Been going to this place for years, I own a business in the neighborhood. Since it switched to this establishment, I have seen better service at a truck stop. Granted, it is a bar. But come on, the service is awful and the owner does…

Great NW Bar!! by nwpdx via Citysearch on 12/21/2005

I don't agree with any of the bad reviews! I have never had bad service or had a manager be rude to me or witnessed it. They have a great and cheap happy hour menu. This place also gets jam packed at night in NW. One of the only bars…

Horrible service by gm8259 via Citysearch on 7/29/2004

The manager was incredibly rude to us - I've never had someone treat me that way in a restaurant. He yelled at us like we were little kids for essen. NO WAY would I recommend this restaurant to ANYONE!! By the way, the food was…

Good drink selection by agent_orange via Citysearch on 12/30/2002

The beer selection was diverse and the drinks were properly made. The food menu was decent with good variety. The entrées were a bit expensive, but you got a lot for the price. Chicken appetizer was very good!! Staff was very…

what do you expect? by persimmons1 via Citysearch on 11/8/2002

they only care about the money....think about the people they have working there now compared to who used to work there. it used to be a fun place....the previous bartenders cared about the customers....if you want food and drinks till 2…

Relaxing Friday dinner? I think not. by bridgetm via Citysearch on 8/30/2002

I had a friend visiting from Michigan this evening and brought her to one of my favorite places in Portland--the 21st Avenue Bar and Grill. Our experience was less than pleasant. The "manager"/"owner" treated us with little respect and…

Not worth the hassle! by montalto via Citysearch on 8/20/2002

I have been going to this place for years and it has been one of my favorites until a few nights ago. I have never been to a restaurant and treated so horrible by THE OWNER! We had a group of 8 and we were out for a laidback dinner and…

Coolest Place for Hot Summer nights by Callihan via Citysearch on 7/23/2002

The menu is not extensive, but it is delicious. The thing that makes this place the BEST is the Back Patio. Multi level decking seats a surprising number of people without feeling crowded. Can be very romantic after dark. NO TRAFFIC NOISE.…
