This place appeals to all generations: it's a classic neighborhood beer hall. They've toyed with live music and other special attractions, but the reason it's stlll around after 50+ years is the owners/operators stick to their core competency: beer at a very reasonable price. Through the years I've accumulated many great memories from experiences at The Ship.

I always start with my definition of a Good Dive Bar: "Neighborhood joint w/lots of local, friendly characters; dark & dingy from 60+ years of pre-smoking ban fine aging; some sense of history and pride, with photos, etc. covering most wall-space; charming bartenders who get behind the bar for a drink when they're off their shift; stiff drinks at reasonable or cheap prices; no happy hour B.S. - just cheaper drinks before 6-8PM." The Ship is the place where you get Lewis & Clark drinkie students hanging out with people who've been banned from Renner's, a block away. Known amongst my disbanded circle of friends as "The Ship Bzzzt! Bzzzt! - because the neon sign was very glitchy and constantly making "Bzzzzzt!" noises - and would shock yr butt if you tried to touch it. - is a little less dive with a little more pub. No hard liquor, no credit cards, OK? Listed in the first edition of the "Guide to Portland Bars" book, this is more a beer & peanuts joint, where all the shells get thrown on the floor, so if you show up late, it's "crunch-crunch" as you walk. Never tried the food, stuck to the peanuts. Some one else complained in a review that "uneaten pretzels were dumped back into a container" - yup, it's that kinda place. If you don't like your food & drink a little dusty, you might want to pass. Some regulars are friendly, some are not; both make it clear. Like Nick's, this place has a sport's love: The Chicago Bears. If you're rooting for them to win or lose, this is the place. On nights w/o a Bears game, the jukebox has plenty to offer.

This is a Chicago sports fans bar for sure. I went here to watch the Bears lose to the Packers. It was filled with Bears fans which was totally fine. The bar was dingy with run down chairs and stools. Total dive bar, which in itself isn't a problem either. The worse part? Watching the barmaid refill the pretzel containers at all the tables. She would dump the uneaten pretzels from your container back into her much larger container. Then she would scoop out a refilled container and plop it back on your table. Cross contamination much? I'm SO glad I didn't eat any of the pretzels. GROSS!!!! Cash only establishment and cheap greasy eats. Judging the lack of proper food sanitation just for the pretzels I would never eat anything else there. Eat at your own risk.

The Ship isn't anything to write home to Mom about . . . heck it probably isn't even a place I would tell my Mom I went . . . but it knows what/who it is. Beer and wine. Cash bar. Snacks out of bags. Sometimes you just want a beer without pretention, and The Ship is the place for that.
(4)Ajia T.
Pros: Old dive bar with nautical theme. Excellent jukebox. Free peanuts on Thursdays. Cheap, good, cold beer. Friendly service. Good place for a quick cold one or to linger with friends. Cons: Cash only. Beer & wine only. No food worthy of eating (they usually recommend that you eat elsewhere). This is a place where you drink and hang out, not sip on a 7&7 and flaunt your new pair of chinos. The owner is from Chicago, so there's usually a Cubs game on. Pool is free on Sundays (as mentioned below by David M.), but take some advice from a pool shark, the tables are way short.
(5)Jacob G.
I can't give more than 3 stars since I didn't drink anything but they seemed to have a good selection of bottles. If you like Chicago sports, this is the place to be. Cash only though.

The Ship isn't pretending to be something else.. The Ship is a D-I-V-E where you can get frozen mini pizza for $2.50... Still hungry? Munch on pretzels and dry snacks... This ain't bar that serves "real" food. If you don't mind munching on processed food and drink Pabst while listening to tunes from the jukebox than this tavern is for you. Even though it's a dive, this is one of the better taverns in Multnomah Village area...bring your cash, you will need it.
(3)David M.
My old neighborhood bar. Never hip, and rarely crowded, even on weekends. Smartass bartenders. A buck fifty for a PBR, and a little more for a good microbrew. Free pool on Sundays. A jukebox filled with Muddy Waters, Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison, and other highlights from my CD collection. This was the default place my old friend and roommate and I used to go to to hang out. I'd have to deduct half a star because they have no liquor license--strictly beer and wine--but otherwise, my kind of place.
(5)Crissy L.
Have made much improvement since the new owners took over. No longer cash only!!! They changed their bloody Mary's too and they are the best in the village!!! Love my local hangout!!

Awesome Bar in Multnomah Village, beer and liquor now. Close to Lewis and Clark College and PCC Sylvania. I think they are under new ownership, now take credit cards, have an actual food menu and have put in some nice looking buddy bars and tables that actually look like a ship deck. 24 beer taps with local craft beers as well as the old canned stand byes like Hamms, olympia, etc. They still have some of the old Chicago Decor but definitely are cleaning it up... still looks like the old bar, but has some nice touches to make you want to come back... pool table, golf game, buck hunter, darts are all still available. I noticed an outside speaker while having a cigar... tons of tv's for College football and NFL, they also had the MLB package when I was there. Great space to watch a game, enjoy a beer, and some food. Try the hummus or the baked spinach and artichoke dip... yummy!

I love this place. I just moved to the SW area and love all things nautical so naturally imagine my surprise to find this spot. Having lived in Seattle and Austin, I love a good dive bar. Anyways, I came in last night (Thursday) to celebrate finishing my first week of grad school and it was great because 1) long weekend 2) semi empty bar 3) awesome and friendly service 4) good selection of beer (I opted for the Bridgeport Stumptown Tart) and 4) just a great neighborhood spot. My only qualm would be food but I hadn't been intending to eat, though the bartender did tell me they were working on the menu. I had a hot dog (only option) because I was starving and it was hot, hot, hot! Adding that to the heat I was clearly sweating all the toxins out of my body.
(4)Andrew W.
I love this bar, but since the new owners have taken over, they've dragged their feet with actually taking over. They seem to want to make the place a bit more upscale, but the new tap system has been barely functioning for the last month that its been installed. Furthermore, the area for darts has been clogged up with shit. WTF? Two months is long enough. Get the shit in order and finish renovations. It's nicer now, but this bar isn't fully functional. I'm really missing the darts and non-foamy beers.
(3)Harrison F.
Don't go here. This place is mine now. Stay away.
(5)Neal D.
The Ship Tavern: I think I'm in love. This little Multnomah Village establishment might not look like much from the outside. To be honest, it's not really much. But it is a welcoming place, as long as you can put up with Chicago sports. Free peanuts. Great selection of beer. They've even got a selection of hot toddies. The long-short: don't pass it up just because it's a neighborhood dive. It's pretty phenomenal.
(4)Misha R.
It's cash only, but they do have an ATM!
(4)Melissa S.
My perfect place to hang out!
(5)Kelsie V.
beer, chicago cubs or chicago bears cash only old timers and multnomah regs. they have hard liquor now good for WIFI semi-friendly and nice staff a great place to try their rotator, although would like to see more mixed up. sometimes i go and nothing sounds good. cheap rainier cans during a cub game. fun and friendly owners/managers. they are offering more food selections. ---not just hot nuts. definitely an authentic/must visit bar. gets a bit warm in summer.
(4)John B.
This place is great! It smells a bit like diapers and bleach, but you get used to it after a while. Pool $0.25 A couple pickled eggs and a handful of pretzels & 16 +/- beers, and this place feels like paradise. I would recommend this place to those who like to drink all day--and all night.
(3)Mak H.
Great neighborhood dive bar. Read David's and Ajia's reviews, they sum it up.
(3)Beth S.
just a good old pub with dirty bathrooms and beer in cans. cash only. free old school dart board. this place is pretty much awesome.
(3)Lizzie B.
Ridiculously smoky. Check. Funky tables made of shellacked tree trunks. Check. Cash only for a crappy beer selection. Check. Only seats taken are at the video crack machines. Check. Weary, over-worked patrons that make you pray your lifestyle doesn't make you look THAT bad. Check. Big winner for the diveist bar in the Village: The Ship

If you want a "neighborhood bar" feel with down to earth, friendly people and no frills - this is the place to go. My husband and I heard about it via word of mouth and started going on Sundays to watch the Bears games. We're both from the mid-west and this bar reminds us of bars back home. Bottom line - it is what it is. Like another reviewer said - it's not trying to be something it isn't. For me, that's the charm in it and why I keep going back. Cash only - yeah, it may be inconvenient but if it keeps the prices cheap, then it works for me.
(4)Chris M.
Good sports bar but no liquor here so naturally it is a sausage fest. Cheap beer, terrible eats, pool tables, lot of regulars. Not my favorite spot but I'm sure I will be back

Dive! DIVE!!! Blow the ballasts and DIVE!!!! This critique is gunna be more about Multnomah Village than "The Ship", which I happen to LIKE!! The drinks are cheap and adequately strong. The peanut shells on the floor are welcome, and the daytime Bartender was more than courteous and friendly so I felt right at home. Which can also be said about Multnomah Village as a whole. I LOVE this community. Imagine "The Pearl" on a smaller, more down to Earth scale. The people here are not necessarily "Blue" or "White" collar, its more like NO collar. The area has the feel of New Orleans or San Francisco except it is more "Real People"/"Down Home" than the phoney hype of 'Nawlins, and you're NOT looking over your shoulder dreading an Earthquake like in 'Frisco. AND, if you've ever been in the aforementioned "Burgs", you don't have to wear your wallet in your Chastity Belt or Codpiece all night here in "Nomahvil"!. People in New Orleans always try to pretend they are the Big Sister of Vegas while San Franciscans pretend they ARE Paris... I Love BOTH Cities, but give me Multnomah Village ANYDAY, Hands DOWN!! Renners, O'Connors, Marco's, The Ship, Otto & Anita's, and all the others. Even the Market's GREAT!! Kinda suprised there isn't a Motel here so the overly inebriated can avoid risking the roads. Might I suggest a room up near Capitol Hill and take a cab. The NICE thing is the Locals hereabouts are not only "Welcoming", but downright warm and friendly folk that easily share their conversational abilities and celebratory inclinations with you. Usually, you will find yourself a part of the "Party" thats SURE to develop.. The Bar stools should have seatbelts.... Haven't been there yet for any type of "Official" celebration like New Years, St. Paddy's Day, or Mardi Gras, but it seems as though EVERY day is a cause for celebration hereabouts.. Does "Multnomah" translate to "Happy People"?????? See 'ya there!

This glorious dive of an establishment now boasts a full bar. Bring cash, and be prepared to meet some characters. This is the prime Big Buck Hunter location in Multnomah Village - unless you wander down to Jimmy's. How can't you love this place?
(4)Lin N.
Draft beers $1.75 / $2.75.

The ship is cheap, and theirs tons of room to move around, its full of regulars, and there is free pool. It's a Chicago sports bar, so go there to see your teams, if those are your teams. I waited a really really long time for a drink. The bartender approached us for ID's, (we are 30, but i understood) and as we sat down we asked about specials or drink menus, and she said, "We don't have specials, just great prices" then she went down to her cash register for at least 20 minutes and didn't come back. Eventually the guy behind the bar came down, probably thinking we were ready for drink number 2 and asked for our order. It was a bit annoying but it all seemed circumstantial and I don't know if that's a regular thing. We shall see when I go again. I gave it 4 stars because its got everything I want, and I am hoping for the best next time!
(4)Chris B.
The Ship is simply your quintessential dive bar. I haven't been for a while, but not for any particular reason. It's an ultra local joint with good history. Picture that dark and danky local bar with the 40 year old bartender that looks 70 from 25 years of smoking and a handful of guys in trucker hats and grey mustache's. Yeah, that kind of place. Those expecting anything more than a dive with grease bomb bar food will be disappointing. Those who seek out places with innate history and character who are looking for cheap drinks and a local vibe, will be pleased. They have several pool tables that are not in the best shape. They used to have a rule (not sure if they still do) where if you dropped a pool cue they'd fine you $0.25. Which I thought was kinda neat. Last I remember, cash only.
