My boyfriend, his buddy and girlfriend, and I decided to try something a little different (besides the usual restaurant we eat at) and I chose to go to the Bagdad Pubs/Mcmenamins - once we were all done, I was pretty embarassed that I insisted to go here because I thought it would be nice. \r

The atmosphere is actually pretty nice. It's fun to people watch on Hawthorne while you're eating and the art around the pub is pretty nice. The food though - really lacking. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries for about $9 dollars. The fries were good - fresh cut..but practically none. The bacon on my cheeseburger consisted of one piece cut in half, and a tiny burger at that, also. My boyfriend ordered a simple, green salad, for about $4.75- which is an okay price for salad, I think. However, he ordered chicken on top of it, and that was an additional $4.45 making the salad $ 9 dollars. The salad was pathetic...to describe how small it was, I can only compare it to a plate literally the size of a woman's hand. \r

The service was poor, our waitress ignored us most of the time and didn't offer anything more than to take our order. I will never go to the Bagdad pub again. We sat there for about 15 minutes waiting for her to bring our bill...I won't go here again.\r
Pros: Nice atmosphere
Cons: Bad service, tiny portions.
