The Matador Bar reviews

"Dim lights, black and red tones, velvet bullfight paintings, an ever-present haze of smoke,
and lots of folks drinking their way into oblivion make for one of Portland's landmark
hipster bar hangouts"

The Portland Mercury



"West Burnside street's most magnificent dive bar"
Portland Tribune



"This recently redone Northwest Portland bar should remain a Portland staple for many years"
Willamette Week's Drink Guide



"Like an unrepentant playboy uncle who refuses to settle down, The Matador bar continues to age somewhat disgracefully- and the denizens of the dark little cavern with a rec-room aesthetic wouldn't have it any other way."
Portland Monthly Magazine/ Best Bars Edition/ Feb. 2007



"the Matador has a way of making you feel cooler than you are"
PDX Magazine/ Best of Portland Jan. 08/ Bars



"the Matador bar has the juke: On one page Black Sabbath bumps blades with Nick Cave, Sammy Davis, joan Jett, Wilson Pickett, and Bauhaus."
