Joel Jett I have a slew of Dive Bars I love in Portland. Most recently though I have been digging Sad Valley. They have been really cool and very sweet folks. Great happy hour prices and some cool pinball machines. When other bars are busy I seem to be able to get in there pretty quick. They are always showing some weirdo fucked up movies on the t.v. which is always kind of a hoot! They are now statring to book some DJ's so I will have to check that out.
Petey J. Cool Joel Jett Most recently though I have been digging Sad Valley. Made it in there a couple of months ago for the first time. It was a Saturday night and we were the only ones there. I felt bad for them because the space is great and so was the staff. Maybe it was just an off night. For their sake, I hope the DJs start packing the place, but if it was packed I'd probably just grow to hate it.
Petey J. Cool Nathan Loud The one show I saw there was fun. Spare Room karaoke with Rockin Raymond is a must. Rockin Raymond is the best! I've been going to Spare Room for 25 years and it has barely changed since then. They have shows every weekend and I still pop in fairly often for random cover bands or blues. Larry & Teri used to play weekly 20+ years ago and it was amazing.
Petey J. Cool I know many people hate on those dudes that convert all them old dive bars, but I still love Lay Low, Holman's, the Sandy Jug and Sandy Hut. But I rarely go to bars past happy hour these days and may hate some of these spots if I had to see who was crowding into them in the later hours.
Randall Petey J. Cool yeah I’ve mainly been in Lay Low during the day but I really like it. Sandy Hut on a Friday night not so much, but that’s more about me
