at Henry's 12th St. Tavern in Portland, Oregon

In response to the service I've received upon dining at Henry's 12th St. Tavern on three occasions, I've modeled the following review after their service - dry, dull and direct.

During Happy Hour (3-6 M-Sa and 9-close M-Th/10-close F&Sa), Henry’s lower bar is a place where three to four people can take $15 and eat like they’re at a Vegas buffet. Food on Happy Hour is cheap, cheap, cheap. Beers and booze, which cure the 9-5 blues somewhat better than mac ‘n cheese (no matter how gourmet), are not on sale. They’re also not cheap. My solution: get boozricated elsewhere and go to Henry’s to satisfy your drunk-munchies.

Off Happy Hour or dining the restaurant: Don’t bother. The food is overpriced and the service is mediocre, at best. 101 beers on the menu don’t mean much if the server can’t make a recommendation or be bothered to smile on occasion. If you simply must sample the beer selection outside of happy hour, sit at the bar where you have at least a 50/50 chance of knowledgeable and prompt service.
