Mama's Crowbar Reviews | Portland Restaurants & Bars

This place is the bee's knees. This is the kind of hipster dive bar that makes Williamsburg/Bushwick look like a bad rip-off.

-Great local beers (no effin PBR)
-Beers only!
-Cash only
-People reading books (but not for show)
-People having intimate conversations
-All sorts of fashions, ages, orientations, and mustachios
-Quietest bar ever, without trying to be

One guy in a flapper outfit sat next to us sipping his beer for about 20 minutes, finished it and left. A few post-collegiate kids in Northface and LL Bean walked in later, but they were pretty well-behaved!

Very small and cozy. Pretty decent beer list. Cool people. Lots of darts going on. People eating popcorn. Did I see some board games?
Cash only, y'all.

The atmosphere is great. Â The People are great. Â The beer is great. Â Definitely best pure bar on hill. Â Tuesday is piano night.

Why can't this be my neighborhood bar?! Â

The crowbar is amazing. Â This is a place where great locals swing through for a drink and a story, and there are plenty of games lying around to pass the time while you wait for the next round of regulars. Â The trivial pursuit decks scattered throughout lend themselves to spontaneous bar-wide trivia games.

Low ceilings and a hallway-like setup make this tiny establishment quite the dive, but the delicious local beers coupled with knowledgeable bartenders make this a gem.

Great prices, yummy beer specials...Cash Only Beer Only!

My favorite bar in Portland. Nice and cozy. Good beer on tap. So many good faces. And lucky for me, it's just around the corner!

You can't judge a book by it's cover.This looks like a shady bar. When I walked in I was welcomed and told about all the beer specials. Very small neighborhood Â bar. Just beer (really good beer, draft and bottle/cans), just cash. Enjoy!

From the outside I was initially a little skeptical of this place, but I knew I had to go in. It looks like it could be skeezy, but for those who are in no way doing the dive bar thing, don't worry -- Mama's is clean and not too bad. For those of you that like a good dive bar, this won't be exactly what you're looking for but it's still got some grit and character.

Great local beers on tap and in bottle/can. The bartenders were very nice to me, and they knew their suds. The place is a tiny shoebox space, so it can get a bit crowded on a busy night. Still, it's a totally laid-back bar that I would not hesitate to stop in and visit again. A far cry from it's San Francisco Bay Area name-twin ...

Great local beers (and a few from away), good folks, games, and frequent music, poetry or prose. It's a place full of outgoing computer geeks, humble musicians, and unpretentious artists.
