Reviews for Bar Maven in Portland, OR
Bar Maven is cool place - we split a shish ka Bob plate and we were full! Good cold beer selection. There was a georgous husky... we were pining for. ???? It's rather small, but nice ambiance and really liked the smooth music. I liked the food, and we wouldcome back again. Read more
The seating was uneven with chairs to table and there was not a single napkin on the tables. Also, we went for burger week... during happy hour and their huckleberry burger was soaked through on the bottom like it was sitting in the back forever, whichwould explain the hour long wait for food. Then, there were chatting servers at the bar not helping people and only one serverwho was carrying them. Overall, it was a terrible experience and my time and money were wasted. Read more
Amazing cauliflower, but a small portion. They were slammed (HH all day Sunday/burger week) it took about an hour to get our... food which was understandable given how busy it was they ran out of regular fries and gave us sweet potato fries which weredelicious. The burger week burger had a good flavor, but I was disappointed because the beef was cold. Read more
Food was good for bar food. Fries could?ve been cooked longer but definitely not floppy in any sense. Initial service was great... and attentive, but halfway through my burger my beer was empty, and yet no offer for a second. No harm no foul, but if you seeI?m done with food and drink and I?m sitting at the bar at least check in before getting on your phone. Understandable if it wascrazy busy, also I could?ve spoke up, but usually in other places I?ve been the customer sitting at the bar gets at leastchecked on, if for nothing less to see how the food was. Kudos to the kitchen for a Excellent Maven Burger, cooked perfectlymedium. Don?t think I?ll be making it back down foster any time soon, which is a shame because they had one of the bettertequila selections I?ve seen in my year in Portland. Read more
Came here for nacho week to have the chicken taki nachos! They were a pleasant treat and certainly something different which... makes them a good option Read more
A bit disappointing. We were very excited to try out this spot as it comes so highly recommend and their "Nacho Week" nachos... looked great. We walked in, not really sure where to go to order food. You order from the bar and grab a number. Only had onemenu at the bar where there are lines of people looking to order food. Moscow Mule was one of the worst Moscow mules we've everhad. Not sure if you could even call it a mule. The nachos which we were really looking forward to were very disappointing, ahandful of toppings on the top chips, other than that, it's a plate of tortilla chips. Seems that they should have kept theirGreek Nachos for nacho week.... The burger was actually really good!! Wishing it was a better first experience! Read more
Fantastic hidden gem. The staff and owner are the best. Fun and friendly, great service, they make tasty cocktails and are... knowledge about craft beer and spirits. The pricing here is extremely fair but the best surprise is their food. Just the bestand most unique pub food in Portland. Gotta go! Read more
Great food, large outdoor seating area with heating lamps during the winter months. Only complaint is the somewhat limited menu... but the bonus being is the burgers are great and the blue cheese hamburger is a must have. Read more
