A dear friend and I both needed someplace tonight that was casual, relaxed, fun, and new. We found it here, and Heather our bartender / server, was the most amazing part of the entire evening. I am leaving Portland to move to Houston in 2 weeks and I can't think of a better place to start my Portland Love Fest with friends than here, tonight. I can't wait to come back in a couple of months on a weekend trip to see all the changes that are taking place. Kudos for an amazing recipe for a perfect neighborhood Hangout.
I've only been in this place a few times, but had a good experience there. But know that despite having a sign that says "Montavilla Social Club", this is not an actual social club, but rather, a pub. I haven't had their food, so I can't report on that, but this is a good place to relax. They don't have a huge selection of beers, but what they do have is good. The lighting is intentionally dim - a bit on the dark side - which allows your eyes to relax, and in general, makes for an extremely relaxing atmosphere. Staff are friendly, laid back, and very helpful. It's by no means a redneck bar, so if you don't like redneck bars, you won't find any bigoted rednecks in here. All in all, it's a great little pub. I look forward to trying their food next time.
I've been here twice now and visit # 2 the bartender saw my dog out in car and invited him in! Dude was really cool, patrons were chill and laid back. Great bar!
