McKenzie Pub

OK, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE those wings. Get the largest order you can. Those wings are crispy, light, with the buffalo sauce on the side so the wings stay crisp. I have eaten these wings probably 20x by now and I still can’t get enough. Going back today.

1 star is to much…
Saturday morning before yard work– bloody mary was horrible. Screw driver tasted like soap. Bacon was over cooked & falling apart.
Definitely not what it used to be, thats for sure… they are on the «do not visit list»… Sorry.

I love my Sunday mornings going here for brunch! The food is delicious, drinks are great and the bartender makes for fun entertainment dancing and singing — you can tell he loves working there! Highly recommend for a little «dive bar»

Had a great experience this last Tuesday night. Had a great bartender. She made my wife and I feel right at home, and she definitely has a great sense of humor! bringing friends and coming back to see her for sure.

I love McKenzies is my local bar. I love the peanut shells on the floor I love all of the bartenders Dave Chelsea Carolyn and those other two funny guys with the beards. you never go without a drink, they are never rude or in a bad mood its just a really fun happy atmosphere. Everybody gets excited when you put music on. Even when the customers don’t know each other we start picking on each other like we are family it’s always a good time nobody judges here everybody’s friends and family. I love the happy hour of taquitos and thaii chicken. We even have outdoor seating enclosed, so smokers don’t feel like they’re committing a crime.

Service was a bit slow but we had a great server and good food. We had a burger and a salad.

I tried to give this place a second chance. Once again very rude bartender. Terrible service with a horrible attitude to go with it. It’s sad because if they replaced some of the employees it actually would be a decent place to hang out or have a couple cocktails. The staff ruins the whole place. I will not be back for a third time.

There are some of those times where people really rock.
Coupled with the right atmosphere, your day doesn’t get too much better.
I took the opportunity to come into McKenzie Pub this evening, April 11^th 2015. I had a long day at National Guard drill. I didn’t have a lot at the house to make and didn’t feel like cooking.
I came into the pub to get a good, simple meal.
Not only did I get that, I received good service from Crystal, who was very chipper, not overbearing, giving me good time to make my choice and to eat my meal.
It turns out that the people in the booth behind me purchased my meal for me. Crystal informed me with a big smile on her face, I only wish I could have said thanks personally.
The food was good, the service was better, the atmosphere is what you’d want and expect from a pub like this.
Thank you Crystal and to the strangers who purchased my meal for me.

First off, the food is OK so I would give it 3 stars normally. Unfortunately, I HATE being deceived and I DISLIKE too much for things.
I was looking for a place to throw $ 40 into a video poker machine plus could get some decent bar food. I went to this place once before and had a burger and a soda (had to go back to work therefore no beer… ugh!). I won a little money so I had the guy take my tab out for the $ 48 ticket and I did not notice the cost so much. Today I went after deciding what I wanted by looking at the menu from their website. After losing my $ 40, I went to pay my tab and found that the $ 7.50 small nacho is actually $ 9.50 & the soda was $ 2.50. The two dollar difference is quite a bit to be off from the price on the website. If you are going to raise prices ($ 2 is a lot to raise at one time) then you better be doing the same on your website. It’s a lot easier to change that than make up a new menu, have it printed and put it in the plastic covers. Next.. .. $ 2.50 for a soda? I don’t mind paying for a soda but that is a lot. Besides, a good share of pubs/​bars today give away soda free to those playing video lottery. I came here because JB O’brien’s in King City has expensive food BUT you don’t have to pay for the soda while you play. Now that I know the soda is so expensive here, I might as well pay more for the food and go back to O’brien’s which is closer to my work.
Sorry McKenzie Pub, you just priced yourself out of my price range and ruined my trust.

Try the Wilson Bacon Burger. It’s awesome and has to rank as one of the best in Portland

My co-​worker and I decided to go have a cold beer after work. Our waitress was extremely rude! Our total came out to $ 18. I handed her a twenty, thanks her for her services and asked her to keep the change. She came back with the $ 2 and threw it on the the table. I guess it wasn’t a big enough tip for her. She needs to find a better job if her wage is that bad! I wish I would of asked her name. Anyways she pissed us off.

My wife and I went in to Mckenzie Pub earlier today for breakfast and there was a gal in there with brown hair and way too much make up that served us. The omelet that my wife ordered was supposed to have bacon in it yet it had none. I ordered the country potatoes and received hash browns instead. The waitress had a horrible attitude and would interrupt my wife when my wife was asking about a meal. I found myself not liking this person too much, and then at 4:00 this evening I got a phone call from the wells fargo fraud department saying that several transactions have been declined on my card and that my card was being used by someone else.
I’m not saying that this was by their employee, but I don’t like that woman that served us, and I definitely don’t trust her. She looked kind of crazy. My wife and I won’t be eating at that establishment again.

First time. Great food, great drinks. Best service. The staff is friendly and helpful. I asked some ideas on drinks and I got a wonderful adult drink

I’ve only been here for dinner, so I may return to edit this review after trying the place again as I hear the happy hour is really excellent. Anyhow, my experience here was definitely a positive one. Nice waitress, fast and attentive service, good food, and conversation was easy with my friend because it wasn’t incredibly loud or busy. Ambiance was divey and bathrooms were a little messy but serviceable.

Great neighborhood bar. Usually quick service and strong drinks. Great burgers, but get the tots instead if the fries!

Hadn’t been here in a couple years, but I’ll definitely be back again sooner than that. Got the Philly Cheesesteak, I was pretty happy with the quality and the quantity. The beef had a good flavor and the bun was perfectly grilled. Service was ok, felt a little slow but nothing too terrible. I’d recommend!

Love love their breakfast menu
There is an omelette that has bacon and hash browns in it. I now dream about this omelette.
Service is ok, you feel as though the staff is over run between the family seating and the bar.
The bathrooms are not ones that I will ever be seated in or take my child in again. They look like they haven’t been cleaned or remodeled since the 60’s with the yellow and brown linoleum… And the smell… Which makes me wonder if the employees that cook your food also use this bathroom???

Popped in here last evening ⁴⁄₈ on the way to a friends house. I have to say that this place is a hidden gem. I have been over in this area many times and never even knew this place was over here. A girlfriend of mine recently mentioned this place and it is near her home. The bartender was very pleasant and helpful, even introduced my BF to some new IPA.
Looks like a place with regulars, what little hole in the wall isn’t? I’m glad to say that I would certainly come back and experience the place again. Don’t get back in that area much but when I do, I will come here and maybe try the food out this time. I love to see what is available as far as good food goes. You never know the places you’ll find it!

Great happy hour prices! Well drinks are only $ 3, all the food is only $ 3 and you get a good size order. Not a lot of meat choices, but great prices on what they do offer. There are 5 in the order of wings and 6 in the taquitos, the order of tator tots was a really good size basket. And all for only $ 3 each.
If you’re looking for a good choice of fried food and good, inexpensive drinks… This is the happy hour for you!
Service was quick and friendly. Seemed like a nice place to be.

Hey, it’s a bar. Close to a friends house, which makes it the destination of choice when in the area.
It’s one of those bars that has peanut shells all over the ground. I actually find this sort of gross, especially if they get all wet from spillage or rain being tracked about.
Foods ok. I had a burger and fries once and they were average. A group of friends ordered the gut busting Large Nachos and managed to finish it. If you do order this particular platter, make sure there are at least 4 in your party to share.
I’ve only ordered a beer here once, and that’s probably my last time. The order was taken at a table and then the waiter promptly forgot about it. It wasn’t until about a half hour later when a friend asked «Hey, didn’t you order a beer?» and I realized he was right.. .my beer was MIA. (Since I’m not a big drinker, I hadn’t even noticed). My dear friend then went up to the bar and asked said waiter where my beer had gone. He was able to get my beer, but the waiter never showed with an apology for me.
Oh well, since it’s the spot all my friends love to play pool at, I will be back, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.
