Dots - Portland

I visited Dots on Friday, and you all really need to check this place out. Located on Clinton off Division, it’s one of the best spots in the city to relax. The atmosphere is always fantastic, and the two bartenders are not only friendly but also quite charming—they really ensure everyone is enjoying themselves. The food is excellent, and our server was very attentive and helpful. Plus, they have some fun pinball machines! There’s plenty of seating available for larger groups. This was my second visit, and I can’t wait to come back many more times.

I've been visiting this restaurant for years and have always had a great experience. The prices are affordable, yet the quality is top-notch, making it one of my favorite spots. The selection of taps and liquor is fantastic, the happy hour offers are excellent, and the food is consistently perfect.

Everyone needs to check out this bar! Every time I go, there's either a great movie playing or the bartenders are hosting something fun for the theater across the street, which is another wonderful local gem. My friend had Freddy Krueger spraying water everywhere and kept buzzing me with a red buzzer all night—it was a much-needed, fun evening at a classic Portland bar. The fun police were nowhere in sight, so we could just let loose. Thanks, Dots—I really needed that!

Food was good overall just a bit greasy and left consequences for some the next day. The drinks were loved by all. The staff was what you expected from a bar. Friendly and ready to make you a drink! The atmosphere was great and what you are looking for in a late night bar! We went after Rocky Horror as a group and got served quickly and is now a go to spot for late night when we are in that area. Shareable food and GF options!

What happened to Dots? Walked in to get a beer before a movie and this place was going off. Thought a bunch of old boomers hung out here for dinner, I was way off. Coming back on the movie night best place to sink away in the city
