Passport Pub & Cafe

My first impression was, this place is too big for counter service. They have a large outdoor seating area and two spaces inside that look cozy and offer lots of options.
Aaand, I was right. The server/bartender/cooks both looked pretty tired and put out. One look at the menu and we decided to just sit at the bar for a drink instead. (they have a ranch crepe) Three other groups were served ahead of us, maybe because they were in line and we were at the bar, maybe because the server hated us on sight. A group of three women came in and sat at the bar while we were there and had the same problem, they ended up walking out.
Maybe the bar needs a sign like, get in line to be served at the bar, wtf?
The liquor selection is mighty grim, they had vodka but only two, one stoli, one flavored (yazi) I ordered a ginger lemonade and the lemonade tasted like it was diet and that fake sugar flavor ruined the whole drink. Not only that but the lemonade and iced tea were sitting on the bar in giant, uncovered pitchers along with several cans of soda. Their gun was either broken or they dont have one but with the doors open all day all I could think of was bees and flies all over in the beverages.

All in all, this place seems poorly managed. The menu is the pits, the ladies behind the counter were mega bitchy and bad at their job, its kind of a shame because the place is adorable and the beer election looks pretty amazing.

Come for the beer but skip the food. For assembly line fare its fine I guess but overpriced and took forever to prepare. We had crepes the best of which were the nutella and ham and cheese. The Thai crepe was crap. Burger was fine.Too sweet peanut sauce and over peppered crap chicken from a bag. The hostess was very friendly and sweet- kudos to her.

Follow up: got sick. 45min later. Avoid the food here!! Condiments in food prep area sitting out with the lids open (peanut butter, etc!) Disgusting.

Quaint place, old gas station turned bar with some food. Drinks per Hood River are better priced than most any where in town. Wine, hard liquor, and lots of beer to choose from. The big outdoor seating is great in the late afternoon for people watching as it is in the shade. Closer to a rating of 4 than 3 for being comfortable place to relax.
