What people say, in short
Many people recommend Scooter McQuade's as a place to get a drink, and a couple of people single out its generous pours. One calls it low-key, another a long-standing Portland spot, and one recommends the wings. Two people have mixed views: one doesn't mind it but says one visit went badly enough to leave, and another lists it among the less nice bars that are still fun.
