Love the bartenders here. They are so fun and hilarious. This place definitely has a lot of regulars and its just a nice quiet place. Weekend evenings are when it gets pretty loud with a DJ who comes in.
People think it's a gay bar just based on the majority of the patrons you see and the bartender...

A group of us went here after work for happy hour. We were the only ones in the restaurant. We took a seat and had to wait 20 min to get a drink over in. The place is also in a really sketchy part of town. I don't feel safe walking around there at night.

I am traveling to Portland and visited Hobos with work colleagues early in the evening around 5. I was surprised at how empty the place was, we were the only people in the non smoking area. Service was fairly attentive and I started with a glass of the Pinot Noir which was excellent. I also ordered ...

Yes of course it'll be one of the best rooftops when it's one of the only, but if you are coming for service don't expect it to be quick. Luckily there are many pretty objects to look at while you're being ignored by the bartender. Casually an hour will pass by and you realize you still don't have a...

Admittedly I am biased as I have been going to Hobo's for probably 25 years now. Usually once a week together with friends for cocktails and conversation. I enjoy the atmosphere and the staff there. No I do not eat there often but on the occasions when I have had a meal or hors d'oeuvres they have a...

It's just the last standing gay restaurant left in Portland. A staple in the community. I have been coming here at least once a week and trust me, it's not for the service, which can be lacking at times. It's for the atmosphere, the people and Jim playing the piano. The food is really not bad. Not ...

They use to be a quiet and nice refuge from the loud downtown party hours, but now they are trying to have their hand in that too and match the drunktastic energy around the late night entertainment district, which is a turn off. No longer the dependable sanctuary.

My experience at Hobo's this Sunday during Pride was one of the worst dining and service experiences I have ever had. I was with 6 other people and we arrived at noon. The server, Dave, handed us the brunch special menus and told us that technically brunch was over but he had checked with the kitch...

Generous servings of surprisingly delicious cuisine tonight. For 2 split the pear/apple/greens salad (huge), crab cakes and steak tips. Thought appetizers would be a small meal...nope, took most of the steak tips with us. Very tasty. Their red blend is a good wine choice too. Have enjoyed Hobos for...

First time at this location was during the Portland Pride Parade! Such a wonderful little location, Natalie was extremely helpful and friendly. Although it was a packed house we were cared for and attended to, I was also highly impressed my the deliciousness of the food. Can't wait to return at a fu...

Because we were going on the tunnels tour, it just made sense to get a bit there. The food was pretty good and so were the drinks. We were greeted by a very friendly bar tender and he helped us put a table together for the 5 of us. HOWEVER, the waiter was very rude and didn't seem all that intereste...

This was an amazing discovery on a cold night. Saw it was open and walked in and amazed at great service, good beer and ordered cottage pie which was really good and tasty. I would recommend this place for great atmosphere also. Loved it.

It is easy to miss Hobo's. Really easy. Located in the middle of the bock just North of Burnside, I'd driven past it hundreds of times without knowing it was there or what it was.
It was only after being taken there by a friend that I'd crossed its doors, and I'm so glad I did.
The brick walled ba...

I m only giving them 3 stars because the service was very slow. My filet and my salad were amazing!! I am not sure if they had some servers not show up or if they were unexpectedly busy but our waiter seemed frustrated and it felt like it took forever just to get a drink order in.

My husband and I went for dinner before going to see darcel's show for the first time. The service was friendly and fast, and our food was really good. I had the prime rib sandwich, which had a pretty big slice of prime rib. My husband had a burger and he said it was the best burger he's had in Por...

Food was decent but definitely very over priced what we got. They were out of several things we ordered. Got the filet mignon which was $30 but didn't have mashed potatoes so they gave us fries instead which was a disappointing alternative to whipped garlic mashed potatoes. Service was good but sl...

It's a decent joint for a beer. Only pedestrian cocktails. Good base liquor but the mixers are hit and miss. I didn't try their food so I won't comment on that. The most notable feature is that it's where the Portland Underground tour starts.

This is a great little place. When I went there was someone playing live piano music and it was awesome.. I'm not sure how regular that is. The ambiance and the overall vibes in the bar were relaxing and great. I could definitely imagine getting kidnapped here and put on a ship to work.

Want to chill, have a good cocktail, eat a great meal and relax? This is a great place to go. If your there and want to have some fun, entertaining conversation, then just belly up to the bar and grab a seat. The Bartenders are very pleasant and never short on some fun banter. The restuarant are...

We came for the Shanghai Tunnel tour and decided to have our dinner here since it was where we needed to be. We made a good choice. Dinner was great and our waiter was so fun to work with. He made the whole experience totally worthwhile. We didn't get his name as he was too busy but we are defin...

Dear diary: today is my first day in Portland for the softball World Series. Me and my team decided to go to this "restaurant" to patronize a sponsor. Apparently this was a bad idea. It took nearly 10 minutes to take our drink order, another 15+to get the drinks and place our order, but some drinks ...
