What players say

What really sets Slingshot apart is the food. They don't have a huge menu, but I've never had anything here that wasn't a couple of steps above most bars. Add this to a fine selection of beers, pinball, pool, and local art in the side room, and you've got a winner. Don't be deceived by the plain looks on the outside.

★★★★★ John, Apr 2018

The Slingshot has great vibes even better food and the best drinks around. The bar is dog friendly and the bartenders are the best. It’s a neighborhood spot that gets busy due to having such great vibes and food service is fast. I’m here to much of the time because they are always consistent and quality.

★★★★★ Josh, Jan 2023

Dive bar surprise. This place makes no apologies. The ladies that steer this ship don’t answer stupid questions or suffer many fools. The kitchen serves up the best burgers on Foster Rd and boasts some quality ingredients for such a small corner.

★★★★★ Level, Apr 2023

Man, Slingshot Tavern totally blew me away! Their food is seriously better than most places in Portland—and that’s saying something, because Portland food is already top-notch. The vibe there is awesome, and the patio? Perfect for hanging out. The bartenders are super friendly and know how to make a great drink.
