Pub 181

Great neighborhood bar. The food is above what you would expect from the rather simple exterior, the drinks are good, and reasonably priced, and the service is always on top of it. My wife and I routinely frequent pub 181. They are open early for breakfast, and have rotating specials that are actually something you would like to try.

It is an unpretentious pool bar that ticks all of the boxes. I would definitely recommend you try it.

Usually love this place. Kelly is the BEST bartender in Portland/Gresham. The food is good and quick.
However, when two men today from 12:30 to 1:30 pm were playing a golf game and Very Slowly switching back and forth to a poker machine (every other machine is taken by actual players) they became abusive and rude when I asked them if they were actually playing poker machine. They had left $8.00 in it for 15 minutes but put a reservation menu sign on it and tipped the chair up against it.
When I said come on, you know you haven’t been playing consistently both machines (golf against each other and video poker) they became instantly combative, Two large men came straight at mr and said there was nothing could do because Tracy (other bartender) was not going to do sh** about it. I felt intimidated and taken back by 2 men instant anger for being asked if they were playing.
I left with 3 other people and we spent our money elsewhere. I should note Tracy had no direct involvement in this rude interaction.
The bar should observe and not allow its regular patrons to be aggressive, monopolize or use staff friendships as a way to take over recreation games in bar. This seems to be an area of entitlement that Pub 181 has fostered as acceptable and new patrons will be turned off as long as it is allowed to continue .

Eh, I came and saw, and it is a nice size bar, it has pool tables in the back, and a smoking area located out the back, and has picnic tables the appetizers where good I liked there tots the most. The wings where good but the burger was not my jam, just honestly wasn’t that good, but i also didn’t bother to try and get it fixed. So I can’t really complain too much. Drinks where great and that’s what I really came for so burger wasn’t priority.

Brian the bartender was awesome. He was busting his butt to make sure everyone had their drinks. Great vibes. Good place

Wow. This place is amazing. The food is incredible. Service is top notch. My wife and I will definitely be back!
