Gaffer’s Pub

My wife & I ate here u on Unilocal review The best fish & chips. Very mild fish The bartender was very pleasant & had our meal fast & was a supper great tender. 5 star for fish & chips

We went in several months ago. The service was good, friendly and attentive. We ordered the «famous» fish and chips. It tasted old. Like they probably haven’t changed the fry oil in a long time. We were dissapointed in the food and probably won’t go back but if we did, won’t order food.

A friend recommended this place and the fish and chips were very good, the service was fast and the beer selection was fair. I’d go back whenever I’m in the area.

Good fish and chips and a very good price! Friendly service and a nice, dive-​like pub atmosphere. Bartender was friendly and chatted with us for a bit. It lost a star because of the skimpy amount of fries. Will be back for the price and easy location.

Me and my bf came here last night to try the famous fish and chips. My fish was excellent! It was also such a great price. 6 $ for 2 large pieces of fish and fries. The fries lacked seasoning and we’re kind of bland but the fish made up for it. My bf got the fish and prawns. Overall very good and good prices.

OK, so the proprietor is a Duck’s fan, for some of you that’s a plus and for me it’s something to deal with and try not to let it mess up my focus on the food.
If you are looking for a menu, it is on the chalk board behind the bar… A little weird, but what do you expect, didn’t I warn you that this is a U of O joint?
This is where the place shines. The fish and chips plus popcorn shrimp are mighty good. The filets are reasonably sized but if it is only fish you’ll probably want at least 3.
The iced tea is fresh and not from concentrate and if you’re thirsty the refills come quickly. It’s a pub, on the plus side they seem to have four brews on tap. On the minus side, one of them is some University of Oregon special. The fries are the coated variety but not as obnoxious as some. Had they been fresh cut, with the skin on I would probably have added that last star… Even if he is a duck fan.
The place is small, clean, comfortable. The prices are half of what other pubs would charge so I’ll definitely be coming back for dinner and try one of the other three brews to see how they are. A couple of big screen TVs are in the place to enjoy.
Pub: Leave your under 21 friends at home or in the car, they won’t be allowed inside.
It’s not on the main drags that I frequent but it was worth the drive. I can’t wait to come back after football season. (well, probably before then, but not with my Beavers buddies.

Still the best fish and chips I’ve found so far in the Portland, Oregon area. I’ll be frequenting this place whenever I crave good fish & chips.

Best fish and chips anywhere. Some nights you walk in and the place is a disaster. Dirty dishes and table and glasses all over the bar. One guy cooking and bartendering not good. People go to bars to talk to bartenders and this is really bad, you have to wait forever for a drink or food. I won’t be back, for that reason only. Such a shame cause the food is really great.

They have decent fish and chips for what seems to me like a Sports Bar. I’ve been there a few times, and the food is decently priced. Once a great while though. I go every 6 months or so…

BEST fish and chips in the city!

Tasty fish & chips just like I remember when i was a child and ate at Gaffers 50 yrs ago. So glad they never changed the recipe on the fish batter.
Great cole slaw and clam chowder.
Small lottery machine bar atmosphere.
Semi-​friendly staff.
