The Lodge Grill - Portland

Exactly what you’d think of the bar by looking at it, food was good, but it’s a little on the slower side so have some time when you come, overall will return

Nice neighborhood corner bar... A bit divey, but it's genuinely so, not at all pretentious. Reasonable prices with all the basics well covered. It happens to be walkable for me and therefore I will probably visit again soon. Seemed to be inhabited mostly by regulars. Not crowded, but a good number of people on a Saturday night enjoying karaoke. I didn't even look at the food menu so can't comment there. Enjoyed machine pool table at just 50¢ per game. Cue sticks were all slightly wonky tho. Table seemed good enough, so if you're picky, bring your own stick.

I have watched this bar go a long way. It's a quick 8 min walk from my house. The food is fantastic, it has pool, darts, pinball, video poker, and a heated patio. If I have the money, and want to go somewhere close to my house I go here or I head towards foster to starday tavern. One day I want to have my birthday party here, it's big, and has everything you want at a bar.

Didn't eat, went on a Karioki night, and slammed the help with a 30-year class reunion without any notice. They handle it well.

The food here is really good, the collard greens are worth a trip just for them and the pullled pork mac'n'cheese is the best. Great covered and heated patio too.
