Jay’s Bar and Grill

Wow such a fun environment for everyone. Nikki was funny and got us our drinks quick! All around a really great night.

I would give this bar zero stars SIMPLY because of the rude female bartender who was working on Saturday night. She didn’t smile, didn’t say hello, wasn’t friendly I could seriously go on. I was with a few friends celebrating a birthday. I got there last and went to the bar to order a drink. I ordered two shots for myself and because of the coldness I got from the bartender I didn’t tip her. I mean a tip is not guaranteed just like anybody else working for tips you need to be welcoming and friendly period. She was really mad about that because she started talking shit behind the bar about how not one of my friends tipped her. Then she told me I’m not allowed to buy two shots at once. Wtf I’ve been to plenty of bars who have never said anything about that! At that point she totally ruined the vibe and we went to sit back up by the pool tables. As we were walking away she said «bye» real rude and snobby. Sitting at the table we could see her looking at us and talking to the other bartender it was obvious they were talking about us. SOME ADVICE FOR YOU– IF YOU WANT A TIP DONT BE SUCH A B****. I will never tip someone who doesn’t give me customer service.

Came here early afternoon on a Saturday from close-​in SE Portland, where I don’t often venture this far from, because we’d heard about their loaded up Bloody Mary’s. My friend and I ordered the medium-​sized one with the slider, though the 30oz one was tempting.
There were only a few people in the bar, but lots of sports games on and our bar tender, Shara, was awesome! She was super friendly, bubbly, and made one of the best Bloody Mary’s I’ve tasted in Portland. The slider, tots, and bacon stuffed into the mason jar were all delicious too.
I’d travel again for another one of these Bloody’s, or perhaps the big one next time! Looked like there was a number of delicious things to choose from on the brunch and regular menu.

Sometimes it’s 4 stars, other times, it’s 2. Service is usually decent. Sometimes great but sometimes lacking. The ATM!!! I’ve been coming here for 10 months a they still haven’t upgraded. I can NEVER get money out of it. The food is actually pretty good. Beware of to-​go orders though. 5 outta 8 times, they’ve forgotten something. They charge a lot more for liquor than other establishments but they are a decent neighborhood bar. Over all, inconsistent and your experience here can change from day to day.

I’ve been here a few times to grab a drink, it’s divey but you usually meet a few cool people just passing through. I’m not sure what the switch to plastic cups for some drinks is, but it’s probably because the bartender can’t seem to buss tables and get the dishes to the kitchen in one piece. I say that because we were bussing our own table (throwing our own cups away) but the glasses she did buss she dropped from her tray and broke. She was kinda bitchy but she did opt to simply ask us to swap what we were drinking rather than cut us off. I’ll give her that credit.
I hope next time we stop in they’ve brought back real glassware & some better attitudes.
UPDATE
Came in tonight with my boyfriend to grab a quick drink after dinner. We paid for our drinks with his debit card and the receipt came back with the balance on that card showing. When we inquired about it, the male bartender gave a dismissive shrug but the female bartender decided to get really bitchy about it. When my boyfriend tried to explain that he wanted to know if it was the bar, the card processor, or his card companies fault she started cussing at him. After she said that «we don’t even look at that anywhere» she proceeded to mock him for his «$ 400» balance, not realizing that’s his play money. When he told her not to cuss at him she proceeded to say «f*** f*** f***» mockingly then told us to «f***ing leave, bye». As if we hadn’t already planned to, the security guard came up from behind and got right up on my boyfriend at which point I decided I better drag my boyfriend out before the security guard decided to get scrappy. Unfortunately for this bar, we live super close and make extremely good money, me being a paralegal and my boyfriend being a roughneck. I’ll be sure to call her manager, and tell everyone I know about the piss poor experience. No, no lady… F*** you.

Came with about 12 people, they were having a private event allegedly. There was 2 cars in the parking lot. Lady came to the door screaming, and said, «it’s a private party bit€h» then slammed and locked it. she had keys to the door, so I am guessing just a classy employee. Won’t go back because of that service

The atmosphere is nice, they have pool, ping pong, tvs, and decent music. The thing that ruins this place is the rude bartender. I read the Unilocal reviews of people warning about her and they are all right! She ignored my mom and I for almost 5min while we tried to order drinks and food, so we ordered from the other bartender. Then she came to get our empty glasses and plate after about an hour and a half of being there. When she was picking things up we said thank you, smiled, and asked her how she was and and she ignored us, didn’t say one word. She was on her phone constantly behind the bar and had a sour attitude the whole night. The food was okay bar food, but nothing special. I don’t plan on ever going back. I can get okay food, games, and drinks somewhere else for the same price and have good customer service!

This is a great little bar to watch UFC fights or hang out for some drinks. It’s not that big but that’s okay as they have enough things to do. Whether it be play pool on one of the 3 tables, gamble with Oregon lottery or just drink. They do usually charge a cover for the UFC fights. I think around 5 dollars.
The food is pretty good too. I had the nachos which were pretty good. They have a nice menu and it’s fairly cheap. Overall i would say come check it out.

I love this place. Great food, great prices and amazing bloody marys (with sliders, chicken and waffles, jalapeño poppers, cheese sticks, etc– heaven!). They also have $ 3 mimosas if that’s more your thing. Great spot to watch football and we have spent many a Sunday watching the games. Sometimes I’ll get my meal from my bloody mary, other times we order off the menu. Either way it is all good, bar style food and nothing hipster about it (sorry Portland, sometimes it is just too trendy around here) Service can sometimes be stretched a little thin, but they are all very friendly. They also know we aren’t in a hurry to go anywhere while watching the game. They do have pool tables and video poker– all within view of multiple tvs and a great patio area for smokers. Definitely recommend Jay’s as a casual drinking spot, especially if there is a game on– have I mentioned they have a large projector screen?

You wouldn’t think it, but a bar on 82^nd has it all! Cheap drinks, delicious food, huge big screen projector for games and fights, lottery, and ping pong! The nachos are a huge portion to share and the menu is like never ending! If you’re hungry and want to drink, or drinking and get hungry, this bar is the perfect stop. What really is amazing is there big screen projector and multiple viewing Tvs for big game days and mma fights! This is the best watering hole in the Clackamas area. Spacious and affordable!

Incredibly rude bartender. Unacceptable that she can kick people out just because she PMSing.

Stopped in for a beer after work with friends, I was greeted with a «New» beer to try. Always great service. Thanks Carrie

Love you Carrie! Thanks for having Dead Guy on tap. Best Rueben sandwiches too. Great place to come with friends for an after work wind down and a bite to eat.
All the staff is so nice and attentive, especially Carrie.

I read the reviews, and knew there was a possibility that this place might not be the best, but we went anyway. We wanted to get out to watch a fight, and it was only a couple minutes drive from our house.
As soon as we walked in we spotted the bartender that everyone warns about. All those negative reviews of her? Yeah, they’re accurate. Rude, doesn’t listen, too busy on her phone, or talking with presumed regulars to be bothered with anyone else. She made it known through her mannerisms that we were inconveniencing her. The man (possibly owner or manager) welcomed us, and was incredibly polite. He got us our drinks and our food. I figured if the worst issue was the mean-​muggin’ bartender we could simply deal with him, and avoid an issue. That worked to some degree, but we did have to contend with her holier-​than-​thou attitude on a few occasions.
The food was good (that qualifies the one star). My drinks weren’t even in the ball park of the same throughout the night, and I only ordered one type of drink. I had 3 over the several hours we were there.
Trying to watch the fight was pointless. The place was blasting hip hop & r&b so loud it gave me a headache. You couldn’t hear to even talk to the person sitting next to you without having to shout, and the TVs were all muted.
After giving up on trying to pay attention to the fight a few of us hit the slot machines, and a few went to play pool. At one point we noticed that they had a giant Jenga game. After the people before us had moved to the pool table area we went to play Jenga. Just trying to have fun. By this time we’d been there for about 4 hours. We’d all eaten, and had a couple of drinks. No one was even remotely drunk. We were laughing, and playing Jenga. My brother-​in-​law went to order a beer and was informed that we’d been cut off. What? Are you kidding me? As I said, I had 3 drinks, and at that moment was drinking a coke. My sister was a designated driver who was drinking sprite. My brother, brother-​in-​law, and mom were all about 4 drinks in. There was nothing to allude to the fact that anyone had any issues. Instantly Mr. Nice guy turned into a total ass, and when my brother tried to ask him why the cut off the guy actually stood right in front of him, and pretended he wasn’t there. He found a familiar face in the crowd, and just started chatting with him, and completely dismissed my brother as though he didn’t exist.
We were all shocked, and honestly offended. We left immediately, and will never return.

No a good place

Recommended by someone, we had pretty high hopes going in and knew that the three of us had to try a Bloody Mary from their menu. We went on a Sunday to watch some football since they have tons of screens. Little did we know they had a projector! Everyone around us was ordering Mimosas that were 3 bucks each, light on the OJ heavy on the sparkling wine, just like they should be.
We each ordered a different bloody mary, one being just the plain jane, no sliders or anything extra, just bell peppers, olive, pepperoncini, slice of bacon… etc.
I ordered the bloody mary with a bacon, cheeseburger slider, tator tots, bacon and all the extra pickled things that the first one had. My other friend had the one with the chicken and waffles. All three of us would not stop talking about how damn good the mix was! Just the right amount of heat, the spices were point, salt on the rim and the food… seriously…I would have been happy if the food was just average, but the slider was great, my friend LOVED the chicken and waffles.
One of us ordered breakfast, the two egg plate with french toast, bacon and potatoes. The prices at this place are SO good. Seriously, for that much food and that big of a drink, we were so stoked. Two of us decided to just continue the fun and instead of food we agreed to split the Colossal Bloody Marry– 32 ounces of madness, a slider, jalapeño poppers, two buffalo wings, tator tots, a mozzarella stick and bacon. All of their bloody marys come with a beer back… I mean seriously, they’ve thought it all through! We’ve been hopping around Portland trying out places bloody marys and this is BY far the best we’ve had in Portland and anywhere else. Jays, us girls love you and you will see us again.
Service must be mentioned here– our server was a sweetheart, super attentive and I kept telling my friends I couldn’t believe she was the only one serving (at the beginning) and still able to be so nice and sweet to everyone. She apologized when our friends food had taken some extra time because it was a new menu, but we hadn’t even noticed because we were watching the game. She was so nice and so personable! We realized we left and didn’t get her name, but she has a colts tattoo and she was all dressed up for the game– which was adorable!
My friends and I had such a good time, we can’t wait to come back! They have a little outside patio and plenty of seating inside. Also games galore– pool and what not in a separate side room. Tons of tv screens so they were showing I think three games at once. Lots of beers on tap. They have certain specials every day going and we loved that they served the brunch/​breakfast menu until 2 o’clock! Not one complaint to make about this, okay one– I wish it was closer to my house hah!

Giving this place 2 stars because the food was alright… Never coming back here because we were serviced by the b — -iest bartender I’ve ever met. She gave me a rude look because I asked for less ice on my mixed drink. The cup was basically filled with ice and she couldn’t even make a decent Midori sour. Sorry but I didn’t realize it was THAT hard to make. Never saw her smile once and she was rude to basically everyone who sat at the bar. If you even want a tip, here’s some advice miss: SMILE, be friendly, and get off your damn phone while you’re on the job. If you can’t get rid of that smug ass look on your face because making drinks and taking orders is so hard, don’t work in customer service. She obviously knew her service sucked so she didn’t even give me my change because she knew damn well I wouldn’t have tipped her rude ass a dime.

The happy hour is phenomenal. Huge portions for a super good price.
Drinks are always spot on. The staff is friendly and funny.

Amazing food! Such a understated sports bar. The place is so clean and inviting. Came here for a drink but was so impressed with their menu we decided to stay for dinner. The food did not disappoint and beats out any of the mall restaurants across the street.

Wow… Im feeling generous with the stars this month! This is another place that earns it! We come here quite often as Oregon City and Clackamas area doesn’t have much to choose from that is good!
This place has great service every time we have come. What more can I say. The FOOD… Wonderful! This is NOT food that comes from places like this… You walk in and it is more of just a bar, sports lottery kind of feel but it is a great place to eat and have some good beers and drinks. When you go to the mall stop by this place… The Mexican food they serve is fantastic too by the way!
