Second time into this cute, neighborhood spot. Went on Friday (8/16). A few, very positive notes:1) The burger was really good, as was the meat hand pie. Food menu and cocktail menu are tight yet varied and really highlight that this is an elevated neighborhood bar.2) Decor is super cute. Outside tables (on the side street) had a dive bar vibe at first but then you walk inside to see that it's actually a gorgeous space. And the patio out back is PHENOMENAL. Back patio is maybe best outdoor space in SE Portland. 3) Magnificent staff. Bartender was Caitlyn (I think? I'm so bad with names, sorry). I haven't had a friendlier, more bubbly bartender in all my life. Definitely not in this city. There was even a woman who was being super rude and condescending about getting IDed while I was there (her and her friends looked 19-22ish, didn't understand her gripe) and Caitlyn handled it with poise and grace. The guest/lady was genuinely awful. I can never understand how servers and bartenders take that sort of treatment. They deserve better!4) Surprisingly impressive whiskey selection for a neighborhood bar. Not huge but certainly curated. I didn't get anything fancy but it's nice to know the options are there!!Overall: If I lived closer this would probably be my every week haunt. This is a good neighborhood bar where you can be comfortable and cozy and not spend a lot of money if you don't want, but if you want to throw the pinky up and get a bit bougie you have plenty of cocktail and spirit options with an aesthetic that is kind to the eyes. 10/10, would recommend, and will return!

Didn't try and drinks but the fries are amazing and the weirdly enough the salad was delicious too. Ambiance was really chill and the outdoor seating has plenty of heaters to keep you toasty.

I have never been treated so poorly by a bartender in my entire life. Whoever the femme bartender was that was working on 6/21 was incredibly rude to my friends and me. Our drinks were rang up incorrectly and she became incredibly confrontational, demanding to know why that should "be her problem". She also made racist remarks about my friends that I would rather not repeat. The rest of the bar is great but I would rather not return if she is still there. It would have made our whole experience better if not for this one bartender.

This is the quintessential neighborhood bar. The food is great and the atmosphere is simple. You won't find TV's every 5 feet surrounding the bar which I do not care for. Everything is made in house and very fresh. I have a place down the street and my choice on Division for a bar will always be Richard's.

On a lark we thought we'd try the Richmond. We got a table outside and ordered a beer. Very tasty IPA. Off to a good start. We ordered fries for the table. They were generous and cut on the thin side and crispy. You can't go wrong with a good fry! One of the group ordered their hamburger - so delish! My husband had the meat hand pie and reported it to be satisfying and really good. My son had the lamb meatball sandwich and it was so good he would not share. The reason for the three instead of four stars is that they will not add a protein to a salad. Who doesn't do that?! I had the House salad. As a salad, it was ok. Nothing to write home about. I guess you have to like sandwiches or hand pies to go there. Common guys at the Richmond, offer some protein sides!

Long time burger eater, first time visitor.Look at this thing!!! Good as it looks, crispy fries and Portland ketchup... great little chips and I even scarfed the pickled bits.Some tomato thing at the bottom of this perfect burger that gave a balanced tang but not sloppy. Perfect hand food... I'd eat one daily I think.Good people, good mule to wash it down... outstanding place!

Tl;dr: Come here to eat and drink. That's it. That's all the information you need from this review. DO IT. I have friends/family in every area of the restaurant industry and therefore hold their opinions on restaurants/bars very high. I ask them where I should eat and drink and they usually give me a whole thing on "well it depends on..." blah blah. One day I let them choose dinner and we decided to try a place that was new for all of us. It was okay, but the lingering question of the night was: where are we going to go afterwards? Unanimously, the answer was their favorite go-to bar with great drinks and great snacks (since we were still hungry): The Richmond Bar. It was a relatively busy Friday night, so we had to wait for a little when we first walked in. Someone came around while we were in line and assigned us seats. There were seats open in the front but luckily we were able to get a seat in the back patio which is a very intimate area and perfect for ending the night with conversation. When we got to the bar to order we knew that we wanted fries, and we knew that we wanted great drinks. My cousin trained with one of the bartenders here, Peter (the best bartender on Division), so it was a given that I would ask him for a drink because everything he makes is great. While Peter got to making our drinks, we also ordered a side of fries AND a side of poutine. Why both? Because we were hungry!!! The drinks we got were great! Do yourself a favor and have Peter make you a drink-- whether it be from the menu, or a drink of his own making. The fries were shoestring so already that's a win in my book, and the poutine was *chef's kiss*. The gravy was perfect in flavor and came with large pieces of browned meat so you know that they are making their gravy from scratch. Throw that on some shoestring fries and cheese curds? Heaven. Shoutout to the Canadians for this dish. We closed the place down and made sure to tip well. These people know how to do it right.

My favorite neighborhood spot for a drink and way above average bar food including great salads. Cocktails and slushies are excellent, paired perfectly with their fries and house ketchup.

The only time I was there Eric was the cook he used to be a Co owner and cook at Victory and when we were at the Richmond he was a Co owner there also excellent cook and he makes his own ketchup which is the best we've ever had I believe we had a burger there and it was excellent and so were the fries if he's still there I highly recommend the Richmond but we were only there a couple of times
