Editorial Review for R Bar – by Amanda Scotese
In Short
The two veteran bartenders/owners invest quality time in customer conversation, regardless of whether they're a neighborhood or after-work regular. Fellow bar and restaurant workers also make up a large part of the clientele, as can be seen by the long shelf lined with empty bottles of Fernet, their favorite poison. Past the art deco mahogany bar and cream-colored, embossed walls, a small open space features casual seating with vinyl cube stools.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyThey always stock $2 cans of the watery Olympia beer, which ironically boasts, "It's all in the water."
The ExtrasFour TVs, each with their own receiver, provide sports-viewing options. Later in the evenings, comedy movies steal the show.
Save TimeLucky Strikes and Kools are available for $5, but head outside to smoke.
Know Before You GoThe bar generally opens in the afternoon on weekends, but hours vary by each week's game schedule. Call ahead for details.

A must stop when I am in town. Miles of smiles and friendly locals - sports friendly, or not - best bartenders and a real place, not artificial in any way.

Great bartenders, atmosphere and people(before the 12th drink!). Don't let the outside appareance fool you, you have a lot of regulars and a great jukebox. Can get a bit crowed on the weekends, it's a perfect during the week bar to get your drinks on! Big time Oregon Ducks bar!
Pros: prices, service, attitude of people, jukebox
Cons: space, amatuers,
