Review of Basement Pub

One word describes this place: dark.

One word describes this place: dark.

The bar is built into a historic extension of an old vintage Portland home's basement storefront - gives it a strange underground vibe similar to the basement of the Goodfoot (except no ugly carpet).

Other than that, a typical Portland "neu-dive" bar, filled with your typical assortment of younger Portlanders drinking beer. Good fallback spot if Roadside is too full. They also take cards, which is a big deal if you're going to Roadside. I don't recommend the food at all, but had a good assortment of beer and pinball machines - not to mention board games, which can be a lot of fun!
