Gemini Bar & Grill

Gemini is just fine. The selection of brews was solid, and appetizers did the trick. Trivia night wasn’t exactly hoppin though. I would probably go back. It’s spacious and makes an effort to be unique.

We visited for trivia night… Great fun, drinks and bar food. Service and energy was good.

We had been coming here for years, Grace is an amazingly sweet server.
Bands are always great, however since the remodel the cover charges can be about $ 10.00. We tried to go there two hours before a band was to start for dinner and drinks and still got charged a cover– once we got in, there was no where to sit, we left.
There’s something that has changed and can’t quite put my finger on it–
We found a different place to be regulars.

First time and last time!
Ug! Warm beer glasses = warm overpriced beer. The cocktail server was not capable of handling her section. Not necessarily her fault, management should have provided more staff for such a busy night.
The guy next to me waited 1 hour for, wait for it… chicken strips and fries. Really?
Anyway, won’t spend any more $$ in this LO bar.
Just plainly a joke of a bar. Don’t waste your money here, even if you «know the band». Poor venue for live music. Bad sound and set-​up.
Again, no more $$ for the Gemini.

Great place for a night out. Live music, pool tables, and lots of draft beer options! Twinkle lights create a really nice ambiance. Never had to wait very long at the bar and the other servers were attentive if you happened to need another.

Bartenders were rude. I’ve traveled the US and I’ve never had worse service. Don’t go here

This bar is very homey and has just about everything you need, good food, sports, pool, music, trivia.
People are great, my home away from home!

Drove up from Oakland to catch a show at this venue. First impression was the joint was legit. The pool tables are in front and the stage is in the back. The bar is down the middle, so the space is well designed. Really enjoyed the show and the drinks were reasonably priced. The sound quality was top notch, so bands considering this venue, you have no worries.

Some very rude person who works here pulled our table away from where we were preparing for lunch to put up a ladder and hang a sign. They believe that they must do ridiculous work like like that when there are customers paying money to eat lunch?

This place was pretty dead when I went in, but the bartender Megan seemed to know every person that walked in. She was very attentive and friendly to me, and always got me another beer before I was completely finished with the one I had. I got a pizza (their special on Mondays) and it was delicious! I definitely recommend this place if you’re in town.

The food here continues to be great. They must have a good executive cook on board. Have had the prime rib twice in the past month. It’s great!

First and foremost, this dark, cozy bar is a prime spot to watch a game in this area with plenty of tv screens and seating options including couches, bar stools, tables, etc. Apparently they are even more known for their live music, but I haven’t been here for that yet. Mainly I come here for happy hour which offers food and drink specials. For happy hour I really like their black bean rolls and the hummus plate, but you can also get nachos, sliders, wings, etc. Also… Beer. Their taplist isn’t too bad, could always be better but I usually find something worthwhile here. For lunch and dinner they have burgers, salads, pizza, etc, all making it hard for me to leave any visit with an empty stomach. In nicer weather I really enjoy the back patio or the tables in front. The staff here couldn’t be friendlier, even on the many occasions I have been here with large groups. The Gemini is just the kind of unpretentious place Lake Oswego needs to keep around.

Good place to grab a drink with friends, pretty much a typical bar.
Decent prices on drinks and the service was good. They occasionally have live music. It can get pretty loud on the weekend, but that’s expected at a bar right?
Lots of different areas to sit. If you’re looking for a bar downtown lake oswego it’s a good place to check out.

Another great night of music with the Ian James Band.
This is such an awesome place when not packed. Tonight was a good crowd but able to get around pretty easy.
I had the steak bites tonight and they were delicious. The server was fantastic. She was very busy but kept a smile nonetheless. She was the only one in the music area but somehow stayed on top of things and was very nice and personable to everyone while she busted her ass. A huge thank you to whoever you are.
Aug. 15^th from 8:00 til midnight I was there.

What don’t I love about this place. Location is awesome, right near the riverfront on the wilamette downtown Lake Oswego. The décor is nice but relaxed but still a little classy too… definitely not a dive and they have huge fireplaces that keep you warm from the gross Oregon weather. Comfy leather couches around coffee tables and pool tables in front of the huge windows in the front that open in the summer time .
The waitresses are always amazing and waiters too. Literally they treat everyone so well. The bar is cute, not trying too hard and there are plenty of tvs all around so you don’t miss a single game. But the tvs aren’t blaring so you can still relax and do your thing while the guys cringe at the game.
But seriously, the food. The pizza, salads, burgers, chicken strips, quesadillas, wraps… I love it all. And the drinks are awesome too.
It’s a really awesome place to go in the summer. There are plenty of seating areas out front and also in the back where you’re able to bring your dog’s while you relax and have a drink.

We came here cause the other place closed early on a Monday night.
We waited for about 7 mins before we were acknowledged.
I asked about a particular beer, then opted for a PBR. My friend ordered Guinness & 2 red-​headed sluts shots. The «bartender» stated I don’t remember how to make those since I’ve not made one since the jaeger craze. Ok just say you don’t know what’s in it.
I got my beer, looked darker than a PBR & tasted much hoppier too. When I asked her about it she denied it. Like really I know it’s dark in here but an IPA has different visual texture & color than a PBR
Our redheaded slut shots — well I think I was better off letting a chimp make me drinks.
Then to get her attention to tab out and leave.
I sadly only drank a few sips of my beer, gave her a $ 2 tip. I’m too kind sometimes.

Music good. Service, not so good. I didn’t expect much considering it’s Lake Oswego, but I won’t stop in again unless a good band is playing.

Short and sweet.
Was here Saturday night for The Trixy and The Nasties show. Good Burger… Miz Mona raved about the Cobb Salad. Good stiff pours from the bar. EXCELLENT service with plenty of attention from the servers even with a packed house. Great sound quality.
A fantastic music venue.

Great little dive bar. Fun, friendly people. Nice service. Great selection of drinks. Very tasty burgers.
I go back often and will continue to do so.

22 years later… has not changed that much.
First off… it pains me to realize that it has been that long since I have visited the Gemini. When going to college up the hill from here, my people and I used to hang out here, drink beer and shoot pool by the hour. Outside of moving the pool tables to the front of the bar and a stage in back, it looks much like I remember it. It was perfect for a late night drink, listen to some live music and eat pub food. Our service was solid. The Gemini is what it is and how it looks pretty much describes it. An old school bar from when old school bars were not old school.
