Sandy Hut

Considering food did not appear to be their focus, it was very good as bar food goes. A little salty, but I wasn't drinking much (one glass of whiskey) so maybe that saltiness would have come in handy if I'd had 4-6 drinks instead. The staff were very nice and other customers were very good at self-organization around who was next on the pool table, so the place attracts a pretty good crowd around 8:30-9:45pm on Thursday from my experience when my girl friend and I went.

One of the most great looking bars in Portland. Bartenders are cool and many diverse kinds of drinks. Must go place if you're visiting, must go if you live in Portland. The only bad thing is the Flintstones prize machine at the back is not working.

I have been going to Sandy Hut since summer 21. I have had both good and bad experiences regarding service. Drinks are always well mixed, but lately drink prices may have changed as I noticed I am being charged more. Also my partner was rejected for not having his ID despite coming in multiple times a week for months. I understand OLCC regulations but that guy is also clearly “over the age of 26” or whatever the standard is currently in OR. because of central location, great bar food, and my favorite pinball, I will keep coming in, but I hope they make cocktail menus more readily available as I would like to know I’m being charged properly.

Freaking love this dive. Great patio and vibe and bartenders. I wish they would hire me!
