Dockside Saloon and Restaurant

Dockside is a diner and dive bar[3] in northwest Portland's Northwest District. The restaurant serves New American cuisine. Portland Monthly says, "With elevated highway lanes as a backdrop and a ramshackle exterior, it might be easy to pass over this diner. But loyal customers fill booths of the cozy interior for classic breakfasts piled high with hash browns and lunches of burgers, sandwiches, and tacos while sports and news play on one of the many screens. Incriminating evidence against Tonya Harding was left in the Dockside Dumpster in the 1990s, but other than that, this friendly joint remains largely drama free."[4]

Chef Terry Peterson and Kathy Peterson are co-owners.[5][6]

Dockside Saloon is in a really, really weird location off NW Naito—across from the sad, isolated riverfront condos that are always in some state of industrial handrail construction turmoil. Dockside either once was (or likely still is) the hangout spot for many blue-collar factory worker types, but it wasn’t very busy when I went in. Signature signs of lovable, eccentric bar management are present: saran-wrapped cookies for sale, a whole candy jar full of nothing but Doublemint gum, and a bathroom that doesn't lock (in fact, it’s a saloon-door situation). The thing about Dockside is that, at the end of the day, you get the happy hour clam chowder and when it comes it’s basically four dollars’ worth of soup for $3.95. You order the Caesar salad and it's a four-dollar salad. The food is fine—probably a step more flavorful than typical bar fare—but there isn’t a 'deal' feeling to it.[7]
