Fantastic punk/metal/goth dive bar with a top-notch vegan kitchen. Add the fries, add the cheeze, add the bakon, get the ranch, you won't be sad you did. Roll for Chik'n sandwich & French dip is soft & fluffy. Fries are generous & the right kind of hot/salty/crispy that you only find at a bar like this. Generous with pickles, I appreciate that. 🙏 Great music, 2 TVs, side area with stage for shows, 2 pinball machines & a photo booth. All-gender bathroom & great prices. So many delicious food options & everything is vegan. Fast service, nice folx at the bar. Excellent selection of beer, cider, CBD soda & more on tap, they'll let you taste before you commit. It's where the creeps are & it couldn't be better. Read less

Update: Still best vegan food in town, and for amazing prices!! This has definitely become my friend groups favorite space to go for tasty foods and a fun atmosphere 🖤 Best vegan food around, hands down! Prices are great, and serving sizes are generous. The staff is a delight and wonderfully accommodating. They have some pretty fun drag shows here (as well as live music). There's a drink or two for any type of taste buds with their large selection of rotating taps (plus rotating ciders and CBD soda options). I feel like there's always something new I want to try when I come in. One of my favorite bits about the atmosphere here are the TV screens showing a combination of usually AdultSwim-type programs and always PetCollective *adorable* animal videos. Read less

My first time here and in Portland, my wife picked this spot and I'm glad she did. The decor and vibe was totally up our alley and the staff were super friendly/helpful with our menu choices because there are SO MANY great options. I got the vegan French Dip and the au jus was chef's kiss good!!! They had the best vegan mozzarella sticks I've ever had. I would frequent this spot if I were a Portland local. 10/10 would recommend. Read less

Love this place! Great shows, great food (all vegan with GF options), large rotating tap selection, very queer and trans friendly (including gender neutral bathrooms), plus a rooftop patio and on-site record store. (Also, to anyone who may be concerned about the other review that says there's no bike parking: that's a blatant lie. They have a double-wide bike rack right outside their 51st Ave entrance.)
