Mock Crest Tavern

This is a great laid back neighborhood bar. The prices are good. The tater tots were nice and crispy and their ranch is super good. All the pride flags also make it a very welcoming environment.

Still offers a great Breakfast with tasty hot sauces not fiund in most other places, and Live Music on Saturday nights. I have enjoyed this lively neighborhood tavern for decades. Come be seen in the Lombard scene!! Share tables indoors if you can, to meet people. Outdoor deck garden is popular. Bartenders and daily Specials are reliably good. Say hi when to see me. And remember to check in to get a free drink, when you order food from the Specials board. Too many Tvs for me, but something for everyone. Sports of all kinds, state-supported gaming, and blooper screen Decile meter visible...just point at it and wave to the band to get them to lower the level a bit. Please ip the Bands, as there is no cover charge to help ensure each gets the State Minimum Wage, and they work past midnight fairly often to keep people happy.

A nice cozy bar on Lombard right before you enter St. John's. Very comfortable with super nice bartenders and good food they even do live music on Saturdays happy I live close to it will be back sooner then later

Check your receipts. This used to be a go to neighborhood bar for drinks and food. Now you cannot order food to go over the phone and you have to come in to order. That's fine, however tonight we came in to order food to go and they asked us if we wanted to 'split it', and I was like 'sure, why not?'. The $13 cheeseburger I ordered to go ended up being $18 because apparently they charge you an extra $1 for to-go orders and also an extra $1 per sandwich they have to cut in half. I added jalapeños to my burger which apparently they charge $3 for?! That's almost a 40% in the price. None of this was disclosed to us at the bar when we ordered. They also charged extra for my partner's BLT to cut and half and put in a to-go box. I'm mostly irritated that they pushed all these extra charges on our order without disclosing so watch out.

Service is ok. Mid afternoon not many here. Prices are not bad at all. The food is really good. This burger is huge and really tasty. Nice dive bar ambiance that I love.

It's out towards St Johns. It's summer, Saturday Night. A Blues Band is playing, Local dive bar. Nice patio out back. Local beer on tap. Doesn't get better. Worth checking out.

Portland is the land of food trucks, dive bars and taverns...The Mock Crest Tavern is nestled in the Kenton/Arbor Lodge neighborhood right off Lombard Street....A dark tavern vibe with a great beer selection (local craft beers on tap) and awesome customer service which makes this tavern one of the best in Portland...We rolled in a little after 9AM on a Sunday morning not expecting much...We were surprised how quickly the tavern filled up with the breakfast crowd!...The menu had all the great breakfast classics excluding some house favorites like the Egg Mock Muffin & Chicken Fried Steak with housemade gravy both came with delicious country potatoes!...The staff was super friendly and very attentive and our meal was delicious!...Loved this tavern!!...See you next time we're in Portland Mock Crest Tavern!!

Hmmmmm.... I cannot classify this as a Dive Bar. I've been to a generous handful in my day, and this is upscale divey if not a classy dive bar. It is a gem and I had a great time visiting here with my daughter and her friends from UP. I remember seeing the MCT the first time we dropped her off as an entering freshman and I told her, "when you turn 21, we are going there". She is ready to graduate so it was a likely choice to stop by and grab a beer to celebrate. The staff is friendly and truly welcoming. We had so much fun watching the Blues Band that was playing, I didn't want to leave. The prices are reasonable, the interior is fun, and the overall vibe just wants you to order one more drink. We ordered a few appetizers for the table which were also good for bar food. The bartender treated us to some pudding shots... never had one, thought they only came in Jello ... oh my, so good, strong, and on the house. Thank you! We will be back, as we have a new Pilot in the house, giving me 4 more years to visit and have some fun at MCT.

My buddy Gator was bragging about the size and quality of this burger he had at Mock Crest Tavern, and I was skeptical of his ability to find the "ultimate burger" he professed. I was in doubt, especially once I seen the little bitty Tavern... He got me, the Jalapeño Swiss burger with fries was f@?(&n smoking.just saying!

This is a perfect dive bar. The food is delicious (highly recommend the BLT w turkey and the chicken fingers). The drinks are strong and reasonably priced. Always a good selection of beers available. A round of pudding shots is a must if anyone in your group is celebrating something... or you're just in the mood for dessert. The wall to wall carpet reminds you "you're in a dive bar" and keeps snobs at bay.Is it weird to say that the "regular culture" is better at the MCT? I swear this place attracts a high caliber of well behaved, experienced drinkers; people are friendly and unpretentious and, look, the drinks are strong, but still the patrons are rarely a hot mess and I've never witnessed any drama. The bartenders are chatty if you're looking for a chat, and it's pretty common to see strangers strike up a conversation over cigarettes out back. There's an LGBTQ flag flying and planned parenthood job ads hanging in the bathrooms.There are sports on TV if you're into that and video poker if you're into that, but as someone who's into neither I don't find that either dominates the scene. As a regular who comes in once or twice a week, most of the bartenders know my order by heart, and all of them are super friendly. The service is quick and reliable. Love to hang out in the back on a nice summer day, love to cozy up in the bar on a cold winter night. No judgment from the staff if my partner and I spend a couple hours nursing a couple of drinks. Sometimes the music is terrible, but I find that adds to the coziness -- feels like going to hang out at a friend's house and having to listen to whatever crap they like.No kids and no dogs allowed. Poker Wednesdays fills up the bar during the winter when the backyard isn't an option.MCT is a treasure. So grateful to have it in the neighborhood and hope it never changes.
