If you’re looking for a dive bar, this is a solid representation with great food and all the things a person looks for in a dive bar. It’s sandwiched between a money laundering stereo store and a barber shop. The outside windows are largely covered with poster about local activities and the inside is festooned with sports memorabilia.
Locals adorn the bar top and play noisy games of quarters on the stainless steel bar and rock/metal music plays through the decent speakers. There is a reasonable selection of whiskeys and other libations to choose from. There are some unique local cocktail specials and a happy hour menu.
From the menu I ordered a tasty bowl of tater tots and they came with ketchup and mustard. If I had more time the entire menu looked worth entertaining but they close the kitchen at 9 in the sleepy town of Portland and were looking to kick folks out around 10.
Tucked away in the back there is a game of Buck Hunter along with a few pinball games and a lovely game of Lucky Eggs!
Fantastic place. We were in Oregon for 4 days and decided to get a lunch before our flight and were really craving Coney dogs. This place came up on the map with good reviews so we figured we'd give it a try.
The staff was friendly, the environment was welcoming and it was a great lunch experience. The food was quality, not the very best Coney dog I've ever had and that's the only reason I give it a four-star instead of a five. Don't get me wrong, well worth the drive. Healthy portions as well.
We had the bacon cheddar dog...SOO good! Tater tots are good too

We bought quite a few dogs, wanting a large sample selection, since it was our first visit. We ordered 4 dogs & here they are in our order of favorites first: Chicago dog 🤤, a double Coney Island dog 🎪, a Seattle dog 🇩🇪, and a Cowboy dog. The Chicago dog is a classic & Nick's does it justice & then some. The Coney Island dog had some of the best chilli I've had in Oregon yet. The Seattle dog was delicious, but could have done with a little less sauce- it overpowered the sauerkraut a bit. The Cowboy dog was good, but far too tomato-y. I was expecting much more of a BBQ taste to the dog & got a much richer ketchup taste from it, so it bottomed out our list. The restaurant was spacious and set up quite nicely. The restroom however were tiny & not the cleanest (it is a bar too though, so this wasn't unexpected). The service was surprisingly quick, despite there only being 2 workers, the cook & Nick (the owner). Nick was aces. He was polite, courteous & funny. He refilled our drinks before we could hit the bottom of our glasses. He asked how our meal was going a few times & how we liked the food. It was one of the most pleasant experiences we've had in Portland. We'll definitely be back & we'd definitely recommend. Just make sure to use the restroom before you head down. 😂😅
Wonderful food, great drinks and friendly staff. Great bar to chill and relax with friends 😊

This Bar is absolutely the Best in Portland ! Great staff, drinks are priced low/mid, good hot dogs and the people who regular here are friendly. I always come here to experience Portland in its truest form, lift my spirits, and have a great time. They have the BEST Chicken Wings in the State ! 100% Smoked and perfected by the sauce. Trust me, get the Wings !!!
As a Portland native that grew up here in the 90s Nick’s Famous Coney Island is an establishment that stands against the winds of time again and again.
Always. Good service first, great food second, good music third, and great art fourth, and solid pinball fifth.
Five stars and been rocking It for decades.
Great place for after shopping or for me, a refuge when taking out friends shopping and I just want to kick it somewhere kool at my friends try on everything under the sun at all the local clothing shops around on Hawthorne blvd.
Come once to try come again for what you liked last time.
Recommended.
Really good pub food.. I had the patty melt and tater tots. The specialty is east coast style Coney Island style hotdogs. . service was phenomenal.
I wouldn't normally rate a dive bar more than 4, but they have a very good and unique menu, plus lots of TVs (playing women's world cup! and fun movies during the day)
An absolute Portland jewel. Hasn't hardly changed in well over 20 years, and that's good. Few meals are as pleasant as a Coney Dog and a pint of Heidelberg in this joint.
The burger special was amazing definitely gotta come back
