Green Dragon - SE


Green Dragon
928 SE 9th Ave

Green Dragon is another great gaming staple for our list of places to play.  It has a large outdoor area and the indoor area has an open pub style seating side with picnic tables and 4-top size tables and a smaller area near the bathrooms.  There is also bar seating.  This place has a lot of beer on tap and can get crowded on weekend eves or if there is an event taking place.

General Atmosphere:
8 - Portland Pub, casual, low key. Indoor areas with various tables, the best size being picnic table size but with slightly uneven surface, possible holes & outdoor patio has similar tables.  Because it can get crowded during certian times, can be a little more of a drinking scene Green Dragon gets one less point than Lucky Lab for gaming purposes.   However, for a pub, it's quite friendly and has a really nice atmosphere.

Lighting:
7 - A little dark inside with a bit of a glare from some lights.  The do have a rollup door and lots of outdoor seating, so the lighting does vary inside.

Tables:
7 - Most tables are thick sealed wood with some wear and varying in size.  Most are picnic tables with somewhat uneven surfaces, possible gaps/holes, but in much better shape than most outside picnic tables and with close together slats.

Food:
8/7 (quality/options) - Food is much better than regular bar food. Menu includes burgers, fries, wings, salads, sandwiches, beer cheese soup and some fish dishes. Vegan gluten free burger. Fries and tots are tasty and good for gaming snacks. Root beer and beet floats!  Average dish $10

Drinks:
9 - Full bar and extensive beer on tap, as well as craft root beer on tap. It is a Rogue Brewery location. A handful of sodas and juices and floats as well. 

Meeple score:
9 - Green Dragon is home to a few game get togethers. Table and counter service, and the staff is friendly and attentive.

Hours - open 11am everyday.  Close 11pm Sunday-Wednesday, and 1am Thursday, Fri, Sat.

Game nights held as of this post - none regular known
