"Dive is the vibe here, outside and then inside. The usual crowd gathers around the bar for their usuals. They exchange the usual insider gossip and boisterous camaraderie. And while you're not part of the clique, you'll not feel unwelcome or uncomfortable and you won't be neglected either. Here you will find simply the best clam chowder I've had in a long time. They make it in-house from scratch and it simply is amazing. Whatever else you get, have some chowder. The rest of the food is all good, solid renditions of classic pub sorts of food, good burgers, sandwiches, etc. The kitchen here is on-point. The tap selection is short, but good beers as you'd expect in Portland. This place is known for frequently serving having live music in the evenings, one of the few places in the area that still does. They're also known for keeping late hours, so a good place to know about about midnight. They have a private parking lot... with about eight or ten spaces, but there's parking around the area. There's no children's menu and this isn't a place for children. When you come, don't forget to order the clam chowder."
