Belmont Inn - Portland

A good neighborhood dive bar. Two pool tables. Some pinball machines. Reasonable prices on drinks and food. I had chicken tacos that came with good salsa and homemade pickled onions. I also had fries and tater tots which were good. The bar is not noisy. Some atmospheric music, the sound of pool balls being hit, happy conversations, and the whirr of pinball.

Wow, never going there again. I'm in the service industry and sometimes want to sit at a bar and get poured a drink. This bartender ignored me sitting at the bar. I first thought it was because he was busy and I waited patiently for him to come and ask what I wanted to drink. (You know, bartender stuff). He served a few people that came up to the spot that you order from if you're sitting at a table but it became very clear that he wasn't going to come to me to take my drink order (again, I was sitting at the bar) when he pulled out his phone and hunched over by the register. So I got up, walked the 2 ft to him and ordered my beer. There were two people, including myself sitting at the bar and maybe a dozen people in the whole bar. This is Portland, lots of dives to choose from. I'll go somewhere else.

Bouncer was on an absolutely insane power trip and lost about 10 customers in my party by denying to acknowledge my absolutely valid out of state 26 year old ID claiming it was fake. Maybe hire someone who has some knowledge that other states exist. He was incredibly rude and belittling. Would never encourage anyone to come here, at least not while this man is working.

I broke when I saw a bad review?. Belmont Inn is awesome. The food is amazing, all the staff are respectful and most of all the time I've stopped in, everyone customer wise has been the same. Rock on.

High end divey type, fair pool tables, great staff.. definitely A+ customer service. The door person Jakob was very pleasant, accommodating and enlightening on what to expect on the venue
