The comedy open mic on Tuesday is the best night of the week to go here. Great food. Cheap drinks. Lots of laughs.

I have never experienced something like this before. Please help me understand. The lady with blonde hair said "you are to close to me back away"! I was dumbfounded! What? You have been creeping up on us back away! I'm sorry what? I was so lost! I didn't know what to say, so I politely walked away. After my first drink I noticed her behind the bar and asked the bartender if she worked at Montavilla Station, which she replied "No". I asked why she was behind the bar, which she replied "she had complained that I was extremely rude and I needed to stay away. Yet I noticed that you havet said or gotten close to them- They are drama queens" once again. Why? I have made zero contact with this person. Please help me understand why this person treated me this way.When walking out of Montavilla station I was called a COCK SUCKER by the man in the black hoody sweatshirt. Why? Business owners perhaps? I will call OLCC 11/15/23 10:45pm Please share! This is not cool. Have you been treated this way at Montavilla station? I honesty won't be coming back and I suggest you don't! This is a toxic place be aware of your soundings and KAREN!

Eh this place needs some work. The men's bathroom is like the choky from Matilda. It's extremely dated especially for a music venue. The bartender made horrible drinks waaay too strong. IMO you can't have a neighborhood dive bar that's a music venue on the side you gotta be both or either or. It just didn't work also I'm just not mentioning the food lol. This place is nothing but a place you'd wonder in and stop by for a beer or two then head somewhere else nothing to see here.

Stopped in for a quick drink to kill some time before our showing of Top Gun: Maverick at the Academy, and honestly, I wasn't expecting to like this dive bar as much as I did. For one thing, it's far more spacious on the inside than it would appear from the street, with three separate sections containing the bar and some slot machines, a dining area, and a gaming area (with pool, shuffleboard, and pinball), respectively. Live music is apparently a regular thing here as well, which always gets you bonus points in my book!My drink was stiff...real stiff...and yet surprisingly cheap. Seems like a great place to get wasted, listen to some tunes, forget where you parked, and inevitably end up taking an Uber home, on a weekend night. Heck, I might just do that here, sometime in the future!

I've drove by this bar several times but never stopped in. You will see guitars hanging from the ceiling & records. The "Passion Cats" put on a great show last night and they played until midnight.

If you like overly crowded bars with terrible sanitation, but low prices, you've found your place.I came here to see a band play, and the PA is honestly the worst I've ever heard. The placement of the speakers in the room is a big part of the problem...the dimensions and layout are not at all ideal. The PA also shut itself off twice during the show.How's the food? I have no idea. I ordered, but never got my food. The sole employee there (yes, there only appeared to be the one bartender handing all duties and all customers) told me that they only had one air fryer working, and there was an order ahead of mine, so it would be a while. When I went to close my tab at the end of the night (which amounted to zero because all I had was a half of a glass of water), I was only offered an, "Oops...it's still in the fryer" (some 2 1/2 to 3 hours later).Why did I only have half of my glass of water? Because there were large pieces of some sort of white foreign matter at the bottom of the glass. In my photo, it may look like an almost melted ice cube, but it is not.Most of the patrons seemed to be happy with their alcoholic beverages, and it was very crowded, so if you're an alcohol drinker, Montavilla Station would probably be to your liking, but I have zero incentive to return, even if a band I want to see is playing there.

I really like this bar. It may not always go right, but the facts are there is no cover to see live music. The drinks are cheap and strong. Sometimes you have to wait for the bartender to finish her cig, but whatever. There is no cook, so do not go there for the food...lol

This is a solid dive bar. Dark and with the appropriate socially distant tables inside. I had a Pendleton neat and they gave me a really generous pour. Probably more than two shots. That was the only drink I needed.Me and my boyfriend sat outside on one of the picnic tables. They have three but the middle one is off limits. The staff is good about policing the middle table.I really enjoy coming to this bar. It's a short motorcycle ride in the summer which is awesome. We are now regulars.2020 - Review #10
