BILLIARDS PORTLAND OR GROUP MOVIE

Looks like I found a nice place to go after I see films at the Hollywood for a late snack a drink, and perhaps a game of pool to relax and unwind. A shame I didn't happen to stroll into the place back then. But that apparently was an old classic shirt from back in the day. I wish the had T-shirts like that for sale. I spotted some old T-shirts they had on display from the 1970's of Warner Brothers Cartoon character Yosemite Sam. There are several dining tables for eating and a few bar stools at the bar. There's a bar near the entrance and a grill area as well near it staffed with helpful, friendly people. There are a few video poker tables here and there in the establishment. The room is large and has a nice friendly feel to it. a little video poker and casually watched. I was surprised to find a pool tournament in progress. I was walking by Sam's after seeing a film at The Hollywood Theatre and thought it looked like an interesting place to drop in and have a drink.

so there must be something to this place. With the exception of a couple chatting at a table all by themselves. Everybody else was at the pool tables shooting pool. That wasn't a problem as I was the only person interested in plkaying them.

There are only three video poker machines in Sam's. Nice tables to sit out if your eating.I think the lamps over the table look rather classy. So it was kinda nice to have something to take my mind off the Video Game as i sipped my pint. So I could play video Poker and pause to watch the players shoot pool. I ordered a pint of Rainer and settles down at a video poker machine next to a pool table where a game was underway. there Iwasn't in to shoot pool this visit.

Overall, if they are really wanting to present themselves as a gastropub, they need to up there game on the food. I was hard pressed to find the pork belly in the pie as promised. The shepherds pie was one of the strangest I have ever had - it wasn't horrible, but it was basically meat, gravy and melted cheese. The flavor was nice and it was cooked medium, but I could not believe how thin and measly the was the cut. My husband had the lamb and foie burger which was a little dry and medium, and my 'sliver cut pork chop' was the thinnest slice of pork I have ever seen on the bone. The pate and pickled vegetables was nice - the pickle on the vegetables was very nice. I guess they are trying to compete as a gastropub, but in my opinion have a way to go. She was very attentive to our needs, and really there was nothing she could do about the noise. Our server was very nice and apologized for the noise, and said that she was hoping the group was rapping up in a half hour, which never happened. Needless to say, the sound echoed throughout the dining area and it was hard to have a conversation at your table - just a poor design. That really isn't the problem because it is mainly a bar with a dining area, but the private pool room is located right next to the dining area, and it is separated by a half wall and drapes. We did show up on a night when the private pool table area was occupied by a large group who were quite loud.

When you enter the establishment you enter the bar area and we were greeted by a nice young lady who showed us to an empty dining room. To start with, the stairs to enter the place are drab and dirty - kind of a funky musty smell.
