Super fun local dive bar with an outdoor patio! Love the locals vibe and cheap beer! Limited food... I think it's just hotdogs but still a fun place to go have a couple cold beers

Good hot dogs that come with Fritos and are reasonably priced. Drinks are good prices and love the dollar jellos. This was a post-game staple after our softball games and if I'm on Alberta and want some cheap drinks this is a good spot to go. Couple TV's as well and they do take Apple Pay

We were visiting Portland on a snowy day and stumbled on this bar! They sell hotdogs which we didnt try but the drinks are good and affordable! The bartender was very nice and friendly and the bar is cool and dog friendly! I would come back here!

Hot dogs - fire. Fritos - random. Graffiti - entertaining. Bartenders - dope. MALORT.

This is considered the local hangout for neighbors west of 15th and Alberta. I'm still impressed how Ben, the owner was able to flip the place after Black Cat almost destroyed the neighborhood. The menu is simple and to the point; hotdogs and drinks. perfect for a dive bar It's contribution to the neighborhood events and it's promoters will ensure its longevity. Keep up the good work ladies and gentlemen!!

I can only commenting on the takeout, since I didn't spend a meal/drink here, but I got a Banh Mi hot dog and a smoky margarita to go -- it comes in a mason jar for $2+, but if you bring the jar back, you obviously don't pay for it again. I was told by a friend that Alberta Street has some good eats and cute shopping, so I came around 1 PM but unfortunately Donnie Vegas was still closed (make sure to check time before you come!). I came back around 4:30 PM, and was happy to have made it. The bartender was super friendly, and this was truly a local (queer) dive bar with a really nice open front space that let in a lot of light. They also have a backdoor patio for outdoor drinking/dining. When I got home about 45 minutes later, the hot dog was still warm, loaded with ingredients, and the drink was still refreshing and chill. I cannot praise the margarita enough -- it was super balanced and had the right amount of smokiness. The hot dog was not as good as I wanted it to be (I think I like more pickle flavour in the carrot/daikon), but it was still good enough of a pair with the margarita. I'd definitely come back again and try another drink and weiner.

Came here on a Saturday night to order some dogs and drinks. Cool dive with good music. The outside patio is open for sitting, but it was really raining and all the covered tables were taken when we got there. There are some uncovered tables, so more seating space when it's dry. We were able to order a couple $1 jello shots to-go (green only) which was awesome. LOVE the taptails on tap idea. The Iceberg was oh-so refreshing; what a creative combo (Pacifico + frozen marg)?? Frozen CBD Marg on its own was delightful as well. The mason jars are huge (32 oz) so it was definitely a deal for $13 each (I believe that was the price for each). $2 for each jar, but bring 'em back, and they won't charge again to fill 'em up; plus extra $1 off the drinks, too. The dogs are so cheap and so good!!! Fluffy buns, but they could not stand up to the sauce. Whatevs. Banh Mi was extremely flavorful and fresh. Seattle dog was rich and yummy. I used the caramelized onions that shlopped off my dog for my potato chips that come as a side... amazing! The flavor/consistency kinda reminded me of french onion soup. By the time our takeout was ready, one half of one of the long patio tables became available outside. We chilled for a sec, but the crowd was a little rough, so we ate/drank at home.
