Dixie Tavern

Good space and also nice fan! I especially appreciate this since it is summer and it is humid and sticky Portland. Drinks are reasonably priced, BUT my downfall for Dixie's is that the music is mid and that ultimately sets the vibe. I do like that fact that they display the music videos, but the music just isn't it. SORRY

Came to Dixie's for a friend's birthday this past weekend and had a pretty good time. We came just in time for their Santa hat party, which was fun.I liked the bartenders and the drinks here, two drinks for $15 isn't a terrible price and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the drinks. The music was definitely iffy, it was the same kind of music you would find in a college bar. Other than that, this place had a fun ambiance and atmosphere, and I appreciated how clean the bathrooms were. They do charge a $15 cover fee to get in, which I think is a little high for this place. Maybe I'm just used to cheaper cover fees, but I don't know if this place is worth $15 to get in on top of getting drinks, etc. Overall, this place was a fun time, just a little expensive once everything was added up.

Good Coyote Ugly style bar with lively atmosphere and music on the weekends. Plenty of attractive girls though many on the young side and dancing as well.

First off, don't go here. A woman recently went missing from this location. It's *alleged* that staff had her wait till closing to fill out an application.They were performative enough to post the missing poster on their Instagram, but oddly turned off comments, which leads me to believe these allegations, and that Dixie Tavern was absolutely complicit in her disappearance.My personal experience with this location is a scam speed-dating event I had attended where they had like 15 guys, and 3 girls standing in who probably worked for the organization. It's very unethical for Dixie to allow this scam business to operate in their space for the right amount of money.Also the food is trash.

Visited Dixie on a trip. Sunday night was a little slow but that was the vibe I needed. There were some regulars and visitors. Karaoke was going and was decent as karaoke can be. Marissa was my bartender. She was extremely nice and attentive. She chatted with me and was engaging. I recommend going here for a break from the day to day. Cheers!

Some of my favorite memories of hanging out with friends, drinking, dancing and partying happened here at Dixie's. This is unusual, as I have an intense dislike for both country music and hip hop, and this *country-themed* bar, that plays almost nothing *but* hip hop (wut?), and yet, here I have come, over and over, for years now, usually in the company of a bevy of gorgeous women. At this point, my loyalty to Dixie is likely just a mild form of Stockholm Syndrome.But that's not to say it doesn't have it's perks. First off, for a club as densely packed as Dixie tends to be, their service is phenomenal. I'm not referring to the attractive women in cut-off shorts and cleavage-bearing cut T-shirts (although I could be), but they manage to mix and serve cocktails at unheard of speeds, and crank food out of the kitchen faster than several professional restaurants that I hold in high regard. Whoever manages this place knows what the hell he/she is doing, and trains/picks their employees well.Things of which to be aware: * Come after 10pm and you *will* pay a cover. (Concerning this, though, one positive I can say is that I've never experienced any gate-keeping just for being male, like some other clubs do).* About once an hour or so, the (all-female) bartenders will get up on the bar and dance for the duration of a short song.* The coat check is unmanned far more than it is staffed, regardless of season or weather conditions.* Cocktails are surprisingly, reasonably priced (and sizeable) considering they have a captive audience. I suspect the cover takes the edge off and helps keep them competitive.* Lots of drunk "dude bros" and their ilk on weekend nights, but as a whole, their patrons are a step above those crammed into Dirty across the street (and similar dives).If you're going to come to Dixie (and it sounds like I am recommending it!), do yourself a favor: come early, and come prepared. The experience is not exactly the one that is advertised, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It must not be, because I keep coming back. Nostalgia is one helluva drug, it seems!

Bartenders are really sweet, but beware the AC IS OUT. They said it's been out for like a month, and it was horribly hot inside. Only stayed for one drink and left. What a bummer since they charged a cover!

Taking temperatures and keeping the cliental distanced are a priority. The beer is cold and the service is very friendly. The bar staff even performed a boot scootin piece on top of the bar. I had the beef sliders. Well prepared. I think they might have been missing a sauce but they were still great. Fries were smoking hot. Great time.

UNSAFE PLACE FOR TRANS PEOPLE!!!!!!I am a trans man & was reported to security for using the men's restroom. I was confronted by a security guard, asking me to speak to him outside. I said no. Whatever it was he needed to say to me he needs to say it in an open space. I was told that I cannot use the men's restroom. (If it matters, I was wearing masculine clothing, with a slight amount of makeup on, but overall masc presenting). Once I explained that I am a man, a trans man, he says "DOESN'T MATTER. YOU ARE A FEMALE, YOU USE THE GIRLS RESTROOM. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE COME SPEAK TO OUR MANAGER." I refused to speak to him any further and ended up leaving at my own will. Oregon has anti-discrimination laws that allow people to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity. It is my legal right. He needs to be fired. If you're LGBTQ please protect yourself & do not come here.

My friends and I stopped by here last night Sunday, July 28th after the soccer game. Unfortunately we had a very bad experience and rather discriminating. Upon arrival it was just us and a few other people in the bar. My friends ordered drinks and I got a water. It was karaoke night and more people started arriving. All genres were being played, all different songs were being played and we were having a great time singing and dancing along. My group was sitting at a table and although this doesn't matter we were the only Latinos in the bar at the time. We then asked to karaoke to a song by Drake and the DJ told us "nobody likes that music in here" mind you, there were plenty of different music playing, also it is karaoke so we thought it was what we liked? Anyways, we kind of laughed it off and let it slide. Awhile later we approached again and asked for another Drake song and she then "added it to her Que" but did not take our names like she was with everyone else to call up when it was our turn. We waited well over a few songs(noticing many people who were coming in after us singing before us) until we nicely asked "how many more songs until our song?" she told us "4 more songs!" Fast forward quite awhile later she rudely comes up to our table, after practically the bar has cleared and she can see none of us is up and dancing anymore, "which one of you are singing" obviously this rubbed us all the wrong way and we immediately felt wrong about it. 1. Why was she calling everyone else up but she came up to our table? 2. Why did we put in our song in the very beginning of the night but it's just now getting played? 3. Why did she come up so rude towards us when we have been nice the entire night? She then went and got her security to escort us out, which we had no problem leaving as we were on our way out anyways with how rude she was to us. One of her security was very nice and understand, again unfortunately I did not grab anyone name. Her other security guy put his hands on a female in our group more than one time which is unacceptable as we were not being hostile or touching them in any way shape or form. All in all, it was very disappointing how we were treated rather it was because of the music we had asked for, or the way we looked. Because I guarantee you it was not because we were not tipping well or being disrespectful to them because up until the very end we tipped on every drink we got and were nice with every interaction we had. We are not from the Portland area so it was sad this was the interaction we had here.
