R Bar

Raging, Fernet-centric industry bar in the Polk Golch.. The two veteran bartenders/owners of this Polk Gulch "industry" spot invest quality time in customer conversation, with neighborhood locals or after-work regulars, and often join them for a shot of Fernet. That bitter appertif, served SF-style with a ginger ale chaser, is the poison of choice among the city's bar and restaurant workers, who make up a large part of the clientele here. Besides the art deco mahogany bar, there's nothing special about the place itself, yet virtually every night of the week there's a jostling crowd of giddy, attractive and tipsy twenty-somethings three deep at the art deco mahogany bar, eager to hand over their just-earned tips for a after-work drink and the comraderie that comes with it.…

Perfect during the week bar!. 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!…

Impeccable service and expertly mixed drinks make this more than just another Polk Gulch hangout.. 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.
