This bar was the only $ rated bar in the area of the Hyatt Centric and I was tired of spending $$$ on every drink! It looks like a biker bar, which I love and would certainly ride to; however, the major difference are the bartenders! These guys were phenomenal! Every drink was exquisitely made, even the mixers were handmade. The beer was inexpensive and the mixed drinks were more than reasonable with the added benefit of a show as they make your drink.

“Hole in the wall” space offers affordable and delicious food and cocktails. Outdoor patio and great atmosphere. Love this place.

I love this place! Great atmosphere with chill vibe. Great music playlists. Huge outdoor patio thats a great hideaway escape from the city. A great place for hospitality industry hangout too!

Chill vibes. Service is okay. Carissa provided good information and a good experience, but another bartender that helped me provided less than adequate service.Happy Hour runs 3-8pm and provides the following specials:4.50 wells5 microbrews3 tall high life, tecate, and PBR6 for a well whisky + tall PBROverall a good spot to hang out, great M-W vibe for studying, and taking some time to yourself. I think this would be a safe spot for women to spend a night out alone, as the environment doesnt seem like one that would have guys hitting on you if you were wanting an introverted night.

Good place, cheep food. Only issue is that it is often busy and feels understaffed at the bar at times. Worth checking out. Nice big back patio, partially covered.

This was the first place I had a drink when I was 21 and they honored the one free drink on your 21st. LOVE the back patio as almost no bars in Portland have this downtown

Cool, stiff drinks, tasty eats. If a 50s Diner turned to the dark side and embraced rock and roll.

Casual and cool. Good value for good drinks and grub. Friendly at the bar service.

Momos has cheap beers close to downtown and a patio out back. Perfect for after work.

Good food, with large portions. Drinks were alright. Great outdoor patio and chill atmosphere. Lots of smoking outside so if you aren’t into that, maybe stay in. Enjoyed it and will return!

Best hidden dive bar in the downtown area.I was hesitant to go because you can’t really tell from the outside that it’s dive bar. But I’m so glad I took the chance! We went for a late-ish dinner and drinks and was so surprised by the food!! Amazing prices on all food and it’s super good too! You can’t go wrong with a $6 quesadilla with all the good stuff. A perfect spot for outdoor dining too. There are a lot of smokers, but that’s what you get for being on a patio I can’t wait to go back!

Awesome patio and great service. Great place for catching up with friends with cheap drinks. Also, the nachos are killer!

Only one pool table, service is very mediocre, and I want a plastic straw. I do not care about your global agenda that will do nothing to preserve the environment. GIVE ME A PLASTIC STRAW!!!

Momos is a great time. I love the vibe. Cool people, great bartenders and an awesome patio in downtown Portland. The whiskey and vodka selections are insane. Highly recommend it.

Been drinking here for years great staff and cold beer. Better than anything in Mos Eisley

Great atmosphere and good bar tenders. One of my favorite bars around.

Pretty cool place to hang out and chat. They have an indoor and outdoor area to sit. Went with some friends and it was a nice time outside, and moved it inside when the pool table was free. They have only ONE pool table, so be aware of that. But all in all, cool place. Clean place.

Wonderful staff good prices fun environment, a place to feel welcome

Super good food and everything was priced fairly. The staff was super nice and knowledgable about what they serve.Oh, did I mention the pool table?They have a pool table.

Good place to go with friends. Pretty busy between 10 and midnight but the drinks are good and the atmosphere is cozy.

Cheap drinks for central Portland and a nice spot at night. Right in the middle of downtown, and easily walkable (within close proximity to the max) and nice options. All around, a solid place.

Dive barish, nice outdoor seating area, I like it.

Great drinks, great service and an awesome patio out back with undercover areas and smoking allowed. Super chill place to hang out and get a drink whether youre out on the town or just getting off work.

Good service and atmosphere. They let me bring my dog in.

Spacious outdoor area with heat lamps! Cheap drinks and great food.

It was a great spot to grab a late night drink. I didnt have any food, just some pacifico.

I love the patio... when its empty. Dont expect quick lines or ample seating on the weekend but even then its not bad.

Chill dive spot. Pool table and pinball. Legit covered patio out back.

The atmosphere here is awesome! I always enjoy starting my night here,really sets the tone for the evening. The staff is very friendly and helpful, but there is one guy who always looks like hes in a grumpy mood. Maybe he is maybe he isnt, but he makes me drinks and hell make you drinks so just respect him and start drinking!

I was here from around 7pm til 10pm on a Saturday in January. Not crowded at all. Amazing bar service. Friendly service and staff. Awesome drinks.

Nested in the heart of downtown, Momos offers a welcoming space to have a beer, cocktail and share a hearty order of nachos with friends. The back patio, fully cordoned by adjenct buildings, often is busy during fair weather, however serves distinct urban vibes that shouldnt be missed.

Not bad. Nachos were a decent size for the price and drinks were average price. It was busy but had room for a party of 6 like nothing. We fit snug in a booth.

Very good value & always a cozy time.I would recommend the nachos!

No nonsense dive. Surprisingly good food with decent vegetarian options. Pinball machines and a pool table. Lots of comfy booths for serious conversations. Crowded on weekends.

Low key atmosphere, affordable drinks, and a covered smoking patio. Nothing fancy but nice for a laid back experience.

One of Portlands great dive bars! Lost a star because their bathrooms are always pretty gross. You know, like most dive bars. Honestly, I would be suspicious of a 5 star dive bar. Also, 5 Star Dive Bar would be a great name for a dive bar.

It’s amazing, outdoor heaters as well, good food good drink prices

Its a little bar downtown that used to be really popular... Now its just a little bar downtown... Its got a cigarette vending machine which would seem quite odd but they also have a quite large outdoor patio with covered seating and outdoor overhead heaters... So if your stuck in the 90s still smoking cigarettes like its cool then this might be the spot for you ;-)

Nice little dive bar on the west side of Portland. Cheap drinks and food. Can get a little busy on weekends, but if you want a cheap drink before a show or after work its a perfect spot. Pool table in house with a ton of pinball machines. The real highlight of this place is their back patio. Plenty of seating with picnic style tables and a few high table options.

Looks like a cute kitschy bar in photos. Turned out being this weird ghetto bar that the people that were in there were no fun, there was a line to get drinks like we were lining up for recess. Weird and trashy. I wasn’t looking for a fancy bar by any means but not anything what it looks to be in the photos

Best outdoor patio in Portland for sipping scotch, and smoking cigars!

Great place to have a few drinks. The patio is pretty chill, prices are good and service is nice.

This place is really cool! Ive only been there once recently since I dont drink personally but decided to have a couple of drinks and out in the back they have this really cool pack patio with fires and what not, however right before leaving, I noticed, by the was a couple months ago when temperatures were dropping and freezing outside, a waiter was trying to kick this homeless dude out, #1 I understand its a business #2 he happen to be seated right across from me and it was no one I mean in that side of the room that he could of bother even if he wanted to but he wasnt, he was just there to protect himself from the cold, I help in a few different chelters and we have lost a few people recently just because of the cold alone. So i go over there and the last thing I catch other then he wants him to leave although hes waiving some money to him but obviously you could tell he was homeless, was that he couldnt find hes gloves and was looking for them so right there and there I decided to give him my own and dude just looked at me! Theres good and bad Karma, which one do you like to collect its up to you!!!

Fun atmosphere, good quesadillas, and a solid cider.

Low key, super chill and nice music.

Stopped in real quick pretty late, it was very lively and the staff was friendly. The food was good and quick, the beers were good but one tasted like the end of the keg or something as it tasted quite a bit off

Great atmosphere, friendly service, nice patio, prices were reasonable. Ill be coming back here.

Great patio, decent prices and the bartenders are awesome! Not the best place for pool however.

Great staff, drinks and nachos.

No frills bar that whose main demographic are those that work in the food and service industry. A bartenders bar so to speak. Very few beers on tap. You wont break the bank going here. Friendly service as well as very reasonably priced drinks for a downtown spot in Portland..

Best outdoor patio in town. Ive been coming here since I was freshly 21. Its my favorite local bar spot. Great service And the food is awesome.

Great atmosphere great food great drinks wonderful time for everyone!

So Momo is pretty much a dive bar, but with a great selection of liquor and beer. I live coming here after a shift and enjoying a beer and a shot on their patio. Plus one star for always having Rittenhouse Rye behind the bar!

Friendly service. Reasonable prices, especially for a bar located downtown. Standard bar fare for food. The nachos I ordered came with plenty for me and another person to share. This establishment is a regular hangout for those that work in the bar industry so if youre looking to get to know your favorite bartender or server from one of Portlands other bars/restaurants, especially those located downtown, you have a better than average of running into them here. Theres plenty of seating inside as well as outside, with the outside seating having heaters at most of the tables during the winter months that also allow for smoking cigarettes. The one drawback is that there is generally a long line at the bar when ordering drinks but the bartenders are top notch and make quick work preparing drinks so the wait isnt normally too long, even when there is a line. Situated right next to the library max stop and streetcar stop, it is very conveniently located should you want to forego driving, or if you have too much to drink and want to leave your car to pick up at a later time. Overall a very good establishment and one of my favorite places to go in Portland.

Best Dive bar downtown! Great atmosphere, good food and an outdoor patio where you can smoke and drink. The clientele is eclectic and vibrant.

My fav place downtown. So relaxing for any time of day drink.

Outside seating, pool table (1$ a game), good nachos.

Stiff drinks, good people, great atmosphere. Divey as hell in the best way.

Amazing little dive bar with a huge patio. The service is always great and it has a good crowd.

Cool bar with great vibe. Always been able to grab a cocktail and BS with the bartenders and other patrons. One of my fav bars.

Always a great time. For as much as this town changes. Its great to go in and see familiar faces and a bar full of friends

Went to enjoy the back patio here. Didn’t realize how many people still smoke in Portland. There’s only one non-smoking table but it is pinned in by smoking tables. Indoors this is a funky bar with pinball and probably a lot of fun. We’ll have to try this place again when it’s rainy and I’m not looking to be outside.

If you need a drink or a local hang out it is worth the stop. The bar tenders are friendly, the back patio is a small oasis in the heart of downtown. There is plenty of cover space for smokers, pool tables, and a simple yet solid menu. Pro tip just walk up to the bar to get served no need for a single file line.

Great drinks and a really good atmosphere the back porch is a great place to hangout and imbibe on your favorite smoking device.

A great bar. More of a local favorite, but still easily accessible to a Portland visitor. Stiff drinks, ready conversations!

Great drinks. Chill atmosphere.

Had a really good time!

I went to momos with a few friends that were gathering to visit... I had my normal 2 drinks over the course of 2 hours, both drinks were handed directly to me from the bartender and never left my hand even for a second as I usually sip consistently until a drink is finished in public because of risk involved with leaving them unattended. This particular evening it did no good.. the drinks I received from the bartender made me incoherent to the point of not being able to speak or walk... after getting help into the restroom to urinate, I was unable to keep standing and fell hard hitting my head on the bathroom door handle itself and had to get help up and out and back to my seat where I passed out (pretty sure I had a much not concussion from hitting my head) I was in and out of Consciousness and drank water for another hour and a half while continuing to get worse... had my sister come and take me home and was lucky I had that as an option.Moral of this story is DONT TRUST MOMOs Bartenders in my opinion.-We were sitting in a section of the bar where nobody else was besides our group.-my drink came straight from the bartenders hand.-my drink never left my hand and was gone within 10 minutes both times.There isn’t any other explanation for why could’ve happened.Bartender was also very rude after misunderstand my order and me saying it was no problem, I would pay for another and take that as well.. really bad experience!Lucky I didn’t seek legal action against them on this.. still probably should!

Love the cuisine love the peoples and I love how quick and fast they are

Ive been on a random Nacho kick lately and the nachos here are honestly some of the best Ive ever had. Cheese is melted throughout and theres lots of it!

I recommend this bar to everyone! It gets a but busy on weekends, especially in the summer, but the back patio is incredible, their food is extremely affordable while being delicious and well portioned, and there are pin ball machines and a pool table. Friendly, chill, highly recommend!

Certainly one of the best back patios in Portland. Great cocktails always good beer on tap.

Small night pub, great for small gatherings. Smoking patio in rear. Decent food

This is a pretty great little bar. They have a nice back patio, but they allow people to smoke on it. Its great for a summertime drink if you dont mind the smoke. Also, the bartenders are really nice and make drinks quickly, but at times, the line for drinks can be 15-20 people long, making for a long wait. I wouldnt recommend opening a tab here on busy afternoons/evenings - itll take 20+ minutes just to close it out when youre ready to go!

Best patio in town. Average beer prices. Good food. But they call their Rachel a Reuben. As a man who loves reubens and is married to a Rachel, I am .0001% offended.

Casual atmosphere with good food

Great drink selection and good nachos. The open patio in the back (dead-centered in the city block) with buildings towering all around is wonderfully intimate and relaxed. Will definitely be back again !

Get the slushy. Just do it.

Rainy Night in Portland places recommended I stayed at the Hilton sorry have no pictures but open till 2:30 in the morning staff was very friendly the food was awesome. I had the grilled cheese with potato salad homemade awesome

Friendly staff with a sexy edgy atmosphere.

No better place to get drunk with all my friends. A personal favorite of mine, pool table and pin ball machine. The decor is edgy but tasteful. Super friendly and attentive staff. My favorite part though is the back patio area. It is as Portland as it gets.

Strong drinks, great nachos! Good happy hour in downtown area

Great hangout spot! Drinks are priced right and the staff was extremely friendly. Patio is a fun, chill atmosphere.

Nice downtown bar....and food cart outback which has good food.

Cool dive bar but not cool bathrooms.

There are very few classic Portland dives left. Im not talking the sad filthy video poker lobbies with geriatric patronage. Still got plenty of those...Im talking places with stiff drinks that are cheap, eclecticly themed, and the bartenders remember your order.Momos wont be every persons cup of tea, especially the people who hang out downtown, but its the perfect spot to grab a drink after work, or meet up with friends.

What’s up with all the good reviews, must be from approved regulars. Pros: smoker friendly patio, cons: staff nothing to write home about. Ageist cliental. Too dark. Scooters way better and open early.

Always a great place to grab a drink with friends. Billiards is a great addition to any night.

Real decent place. Moderately priced drinks and kool people hang out here

Good eats and tasty beer

What a wonderful place! I love coming here. Decent food, great beer section and wonderful staff. My new favorite hobby is to grab a new book or magazine at Powells and read it at Momos on their epic back deck in the summer.The crowd is fun and responsive, mixed in with a colorful bunch of regulars. This is the kind of place that you think of when you say to your friend where should we go tonight?.

Decent staff. If you leave a tab open they ask for first names, which is odd. The art could be better. The patio outside is great in the summer and generally overcrowded then.They have inconsistent pricing with drinks, sometimes you will get the happy hour price during happy hour. Other times you will pay full price if your servers change.Great relocation and people, just can be hot or miss at times.

Lowkey bar with a great outdoor patio and a few key tables out front for people watching.

Relaxed enough that youll never feel underdressed, but not so trashy youll feel overdressed unless your suit is $3000.

Owner not only fired me while ill, denied me unemployment, shamed me across town, didnt check on my health after four years of employment, before me was known to beat up patrons and hire racists. Happy holidays Thomas.

A SE Portland style bar right in the middle of downtown. Outdoor patio. Cool artwork by Anna Duvall

Such a fun bar, such cool people and atmosphere

I had a lot of fun here and the drinks arent badly priced. Fun place and the pool is good here.

Love this spot. The staff is awesome, patio is great, even during the winter. Margaritas are the best!

Momo can make any drink you can think of, so long as that drink doesnt include cachaça. But they have some great whiskeys, beers on tap, and the patio is HUUUUUGE, and you can smoke out there as well. Need a cigarette and a stiff drink? Look no further.
