Went to the Backstage area and ordered a chicken sandwich as it was 9:00 and I had to eat something after watching NCAA hoop all day. It wasn't busy and at 10 I asked the bartender where my order was. His exact words, "Oh we have been out of that all day." I couldn't believe it and asked for a... More

I don't normally drink much beer - but the beer is exceptional. It is very smooth. I had wheat, porter and Hillsdale Ale. All 3 were great. I didn't have much to eat so don't know much about the food, but the beer was great. More

Bagdad was one of the first places we visited when we came to Portland--and it still a favorite. The menu varies as does the entertainment roving on down the street. Fun neighborhood--parking is HORRIBLE so if you find a spot--stay and schmooze the whole neighborhood. Bagdad is a glorious old theater--stately and beautifully restored. Pub food can be enjoyed in... More

Food is better than average pub grub but the people watching is really what you come for on a nice day. The outside, sidewalk adjacent seating makes for some of the best people watching in PDX. Check it out on a sunny or not so sunny day! More

They have very good pizza and excellent beer. The atmosphere is perfect - sit outside if you can because there is great people watching and it's a fun culture to be around. They have beer milkshakes at this place - chocolate ice cream with a dark, rich beer. They were good but hard to taste the actual beer in. More

More likely than not, Bagdad has some great shows lined up. We've been here for a comedy show and several movies. We haven't eaten anything besides popcorn here, but you can't go wrong with a cold beer. We like the eclectic atmosphere of the theatre and the neighborhood. The floors and chairs aren't shiny and new, but they are clean... More

One of McMenamins places to catch a movie and some great food. We go up for the OMSI Science Pub hosted there. The Theater itself is very comfy and amply seated. You can order food and they will bring it to your seat, (they have little "tables" to set your food on), or grab a slice of their pizza and... More
