Falls View Tavern

Talk about a diamond in the rough. I honestly hesitate to review the Falls View and their amazing back patio space for fear it will be jam packed with people next time I venture down!
Strong drinks in big glasses, served by smiling and sweet bartenders, dogs allowed on the patio and a great crowd of locals listening to live music. We had an awesome evening at the Falls View. I can’t wait to return for another band and will definitely be trying some of their really yummy looking food when I return!

If you like broasted chicken like I like broasted chicken, this may be place for you. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and was not over salted! The food altogether was served so hot you had to wait and savor the aroma while it cooled. Served with the chicken, good jojo’s and grilled french bread. The five piece meal is a good choice, I could barely eat it all, and the price is a bargain.
The microbrews on tap included a personal favorite which makes it all the better.
The Mrs. enjoyed the cheese burger she ordered and liked the «not over bearing» seasoned fries that came with that decent sized burger. I enjoyed her dill pickle spear just because, and I waddled out to the car after breaking even on the state lottery poker machines.
The service was top notch, the owner came by the table to chat for a few, and the bartender/​server was by three times.
Too bad the star rating is a 4 (this place still serves Nalley’s chili, a favorite of many!) as it is clean and dog friendly older establishment.
I’ll be back, so pay no mind to this review, the place is small and perfectly populated.

One of the last few Oregon City original bars. The staff is super friendly, the owner is a angel. Falls View Tavern is very community oriented. This is where the locals go. Live music often. They have a nice outdoor seating area with a heat lamp to keep the cold at bay. You will feel welcomed instantly. I have been going for years and made many wonderful friends.
I have to admit I am biased because this is one of my local bars, with many of my friends. I honestly cannot speak for the food because I rarely eat there, but the chef is a wonderful friend of mine. Katie, she will cook anything up for you in order to make you happy. She makes me my special grilled cheese.
I would give it five stars for friendships alone.
They have a fair liquor selection, some micro brews and all of the usual domestics.
The people who work here are very good people. They are easy to get to know, very friendly and don’t slack. It is a smaller establishment, but for locals it is cozy and a little spot of old Oregon City.

Don’t judge a book by its cover… this place looks run down on the outside BUT, inside is much better. Yes, it’s old but it’s clean (no stale beer/​mildew smell), staff is super friendly and attentive. Strong drinks, great prices, and the broasted chix is excellent in both taste and price. Because the bar is small and broasting takes a while, it can be a wait. Also, they have a great patio out back!

After living within blocks of the place for the past 11 years, I thought it was high time I stepped inside the joint. Plus they had a live band on Friday so how could I pass that up?
Not a pretty place and the crowd mostly seemed to have seen better days, but the bartender was Johnny-​on-​the-​spot, poured a nice drink and the prices were reasonable.
Some women we shared a table with got the fried chicken and it did look and smell delicious. I might just have to come back here to try that.
7÷28÷14 Update: Many people mentioned the broasted chicken so I went back to check it out. OMG! Probably the best friend chicken I’ve ever had. The service was a bit slow at first so I’m not changing my rating, but definitely get the broasted chicken if you ever make it here.

Nope. Well, there were pool tables so I guess they still have that going for them. I just went once and ordered a burger. It was disgusting. I didn’t eat it. I just paid and went somewhere else.

Great Bar. Great service. Barry is the shit! Go get a drink from this guy. He’ll treat you righ Oh and don’t forget to ask FLo what the soup du jour. ha… Broasted Chxn doesn’t suck either.

Just like the Tavern on Denver, Falls View Tavern is nothing pretty… then again, it’s not trying to be.
Came here on a whim as I noticed the neon Hamm’s sign in the window. Little did I know it was $ 1.25 for a Hamm’s tall boy inside. With a pool table in the middle, a surly bartender out back, this place is exactly where you should go after a good day of boating on the upper Willamette. I didn’t take time to look over the menu as my eyes zeroed in on a bag of nacho cheese Corn Nuts for a $ 1 in a large candy jar. Other offerings included beer nuts and peanut butter & cheese sandwich crackers.
I appreciate a place like the Falls View Tavern. It’s authentic. It’s gritty. It’s stubborn.
Kudos to the bartender as I watched him convince a patron to not drive home after having a few too many.
Extra kudos as the bartender for flinging coasters through the air at rowdy customers and cussing loudly (f bombs left and right) at the entire bar after someone hung up the moment he picked up the phone.
Next time I’m on the water, I’ll be sure to end my day with a visit here.
