BarFly's Review of Trap

This dark, eccentric, memorabilia-stuffed neighborhood (should one consider lower Foster a neighborhood) dive has resisted the kids' reclamation not just because of the crumbling diner section or crap juke or sex shop ’n’ plumbing supply-laden area.

A loyal core of boozehounds can be, shall we say, reticent 'round flouncier interlopers, and, more troublingly, they're armed - five boards and a wall of trophies testify to the regulars' darts proficiency. Select doms $1.50 after 9pm.

Hours: 7am-2:30am 365 days.

$1.75 menu and domestic beers, $2.25 well, 8-10am & 3-5pm Saturday and Sunday.
$1.25 select domestics 9pm-12am, Tuesday-Sunday
Sundays: SIN: $1.50 off all cocktails/liquors over $5, 7pm-12am.

New owner

The new owner ,who owns a bar in Aloha, has turned this once glorious dive into a suburban Karaoke club. The drink prices have gone up at least 4 times and they pour the weakest worst drinks around. And no wonder the bartenders are under constant camera surveillance by the creepy owner, who calls in to harass them. The vibe sucks , the drinks suck, constant karaoke sucks, NSA style surveillance sucks.

food

Love the guys who work in the kitchen, the food rocks. Dee is great, just wish I could go in any time and it would always be nice and friendly. Big lady on friday nights always acts like you are bothering her apparently whatever is on her I phone is more important then waiting on customers. No worries lots of bars in the neighborhood, just need to figure out folks schedules. NO more fridays there.

Best old school food

Always go there when we want breakfast with not fuss. Love the Marilyn pictures and the food. Real, like home.

Service

WTF?! This old ass woman did not like to serve anyone younger than 20 yrs of her age apparently. She did NOT greet me with any enthusiasm. When I asked for a shot of Citron vodka, lemon, splash o cran shaken, she did it all in a rocks glass. No ice. When I went back up to have her make it chilled, she did each in a rocks glass, then used a Oregon Lottery coaster to strain it! WTF?!? I said, "Do you have a shaker/strainer?" She replied, "This works the same." Omigod!! Seriously, I've been a bartender 15 years and have NEVER seen this type of laziness!!Horrible service! I mean, where the hell has that coaster been?! Under some 60-70 yr old drink?! (since that seems to be the standard clientele there). F this place, I will NEVER go back there, even though it's walking distance to my house! Go to Slingshot for better service & drinks!! F the Trap! (Unless you are over 60 apparently). And btw, I would not be anonymous if this system ok'd me. Some weird shiz kept coming back on me to say I wasn't ok to be on here, but either way, I totally had to say wtf I thought about this place! they SUCKED! Before I walked out I even saw a 3 count pour for another customer, because the bottle was out. Not cool. Find another bottle you old beeotch to make it a real drink! That was the lowest of the low. And btw, it was tonight, a Sat night, 50-60 year old white woman with a muffin top, who obviously hates her job except for those 60 year old no names who tip her $3 for their total tab. Good luck making more money Trap, I see you closing sometime in the near future.

A Home away from Home

The coziest neighborhood bar in SE Portland. Great service, good prices(food and drinks)and super friendly customers. Whether you're having a good or bad day, you can ALWAYS depend on the Trap. It's the Rose City's diamond in the rough !

the trap

Yeah, this place rocks, super old school, lots of booze slugging regulars, a little weird about new school at first, but super friendly after that. This is a place for everyone, people are super friendly. Bartenders are really nice, esp. Stephi, she works nights, smokes alot , but super cool. Check it out, def. old world Foster Ave. , but all are welcome

Midgets

Watch out for that female Midget who roams Foster....she has called the cops on me before for being belligerent & a drunk driver. Mind you, I was on the wagon at the time and had 2 O'Douls that night. She's scandalous and just plain wrong!
