Owned by Nathan Dewey,[1] the Bear Paw Inn is located in southeast Portland's Brooklyn neighborhood.[2]
An armed robbery occurred at the bar in 2020.[3][4] Jerry's Pizza began operating out of the bar in 2021.[5][6][7]
Reception[edit]
In 2000, the Portland Mercury said, "Some nights this place is a ragged party. I've seen skinny, drunk women stand on chairs and preach the virtues of wearing men's underwear, and swaying dancers outfitted in the shine of halos meant to protect a broken neck. During the day it's a meditative spot; drinkers line the bar quietly sipping. Decorations range from the glory of darts trophies to beer signs, an old suit of armor, a wide angle mirror in the women'sbathroom, and an Escher-esque piece of computer generated art on five feet of glass. If they offer food, I wouldn't eat it."[8] The newspaper included the bar in a 2018 list of the city's best 13 places for karaoke.[9]
