This is my new favorite bar. It is a great place where class meets punk. I like that I can order a cosmopolitan in a nice, clean, not smokey (really good ventillation) bar and yet I can play SLAYER on the jukebox. The best part is that despite its vicinity to downtown, they are still charging SE prices!
Went to Slow Bar last night with some friends around 6:30 last night, and really liked the place. The burger I got was hands down the best burger I've ever had in PDX. Painted Hills beef, English cheddar, heirloom tomatos, they are not messing around, and they even ask you how you want it done. The service was nice, friendly bartenders. Cool interior, going for a very modern look. Nice super-high booths and a great little "coffee table" area. The place got seriously hopping later. Interesting mix of some suits, some hipsters, and some rock and rollers. Hamm's cans for $2.50 isn't too punk rock, but that's a minor issue. Oh- try the fritto misto (basically it's tempura) - amazing. Will be back for sure!!

ThE sLoW bAr RoCks!!!
The SLOW BAR is the love child of a martini and a sailor jerry tattoo.
This is my version of Cheers thanks to the rad bartenders who are super friendly and go above and beyond their call of duty...even to drunkyards!
Plus they have giant circular booths (to fit 10 of your closest friends) that have high backs for total privacy despite the small size of this bar.
I highly recommend this bar...they even have really good (non-trad) bar food!
Pros: Good Ventilation, Great Jukebox, AWESOME STAFF
