The Waypost

If you're in Portland and haven't been to The Waypost, you're missing out. This place is not just a bar; it's a beacon of warmth and good vibes.Their Waypostaritta is a standout, offering a delightful twist on the classic margarita. It's one of those drinks that leaves you wanting more after the first sip.The bartenders here are the heart of The Waypost. They're genuinely awesome, making everyone feel welcomed with their friendly and knowledgeable approach.As a member of Izy Kactus, I've played here a couple of times. The Waypost is incredibly band-friendly, ensuring everything from soundcheck to the live performance goes smoothly. It's rare to find a venue that supports local music with such enthusiasm.In short, The Waypost is a gem in Portland's nightlife. Great drinks, wonderful staff, and a supportive environment for musicians.

Not a bad place. No one stood up for karaoke while I was there for two hours in the cozily lit but loud (from one persons laughter) space. I had a waypostarita abs beef tacos. Loved the drink's orangey flavor. Tacos were tacos. No options to bring home anything for my vegetarian/pescatarian partner.

Wanted to leave an update to my review for Waypost. I still love this bar as they have the best house infused tequila in town. I do want to give a heads up to the vegetarian / vegan folks out there. They no longer serve tasty veggie friendly tacos, only meat filled ones. They do have chips and salsa (or cheese dip) as well as nachos, but that is about it.

Yep, I'm big into this place.A boy I know moved just down the street, and this become his go-to neighborhood watering hole. I'm happy that he's introduced me.Lots of tequila! They have a good margarita list, though I typically stick with their most typical one, the Waypostarita. It's made with an orange-peppercorn tequila and some sort of orange liqueur. Pretty dang tasty. The other varieties aren't really my cup of tea, but it's good to offer options, right? Oh, and on Mondays margaritas are $6 instead of $9! Taco Tuesday is in full effect, and both the tinga chicken and the carnitas are delicious. I'm not into tempeh, but if you like it, I bet theirs is good. $2.50 on Tuesdays, which is a buck off.There's typically some kind of programming and hanging out at the bar can get kind of loud. But open mic night on Mondays has been entertaining!The bartenders are all really friendly. Good staff here, for sure. The outside area is cute, with a funny little walking path. I'll have to spend more time here in the summer to properly understand it, but I like it! I like The Waypost, I'll most certainly return.

Rum horchata slushie paired with Wednesday karaoke is a winning combo!Drinks were a good price, bartender and DJ were very nice and karaoke is always an entertaining spectacle. If you would not enjoy loud and slightly off key yet passionate renditions of early 2000 classics, come some other night to have a drink and eat some tacos :)

Sometimes you can get to where you want at the right moment. And sometimes you walk in as the band just finished. As is life. Got here after seeing the Blazers wrap up their round one series win. Traffic was crazy and public transit was packed so we took a stroll from the Moda Center. Wasn't awful. Got there and as I mentioned we just miss the band. They stuck around and hung with their friends but that was it for live music that night. But as is life you can cry about it or make the best out of it. We stayed around for a couple of rounds. The played some nice toons. The beer selection was pretty good. And I dig the low ceiling. Gave the place a real authentic feel. Wish I caught some live music but I still enjoyed myself. I'd imagine you would too.

Fun medium sized dive bar with super friendly bartenders. Also, they have two slushie machines - few of their whiskey Cherry Lime Ricky did me in that night! Most patrons order Montuckys or PBRs so service is quick. They serve food as well but I didn't try so I can't speak to that. I was there for the first time for a friend's band playing, so it was a $5 cover for live music that night. Check it out if you need a laid back place in the neighborhood!

Love The Waypost! Great margaritas and a fun vibe. I wish the patio was a little nicer, but it's all good. We went to a comedy show here and it was pretty fun! We've also gone to a few local music shows and they were also great. I like the overall atmosphere and the drinks aren't too pricey.

First visit ever! It was great but wish I had been there for happy hour 3-6pm I believe.Love Yelp!! Check in and $1 off $5 spent. I got chicken tacos without sour creme. Those tacos were not small and fully loaded! Totally worth the price!Although I didn't buy a margarita; they have margarita Monday's $6 and spicy nachos $6.

Remember the fun, fun days of basement shows? You can have that here, and a patio, and brunch, and competent bartenders. What's not to like?~!Part of the Waypost is literally a basement to an old wood apartment building. It could be dangerous to live in those apartments with a bar and a basement show every night! They do close the side patio early for noise with that reason, but the front tables on Williams are open nights for the duration. The evening food is simple. They do a good job on drink specials. The brunch is the food star.The Waypost has a good network of musicians for their basement shows and it is a gathering point for community groups in the dill pickle club and zine worlds.It's a fine unpretentious neighborhood bar for the close-in bike crowd.
