In 2002, CNN's Dmae Roberts called Hobo's an "upscale restaurant with a really full and fantastic-looking bar". He said the space was "primarily a restaurant" with a bar, pool, and pianists performing live, and described the clientele as "an array of Portlanders, many of them looking to get laid". In 2009, the newspaper's Ryan Fleming described Hobo's as a "relaxed and casual place to go before heading to the more hectic clubs nearby". In 2008, Willamette Week 's Amanda Waldroupe described Hobo's as a "chi-chi, predominantly gay establishment" and wrote, "Coming here, you may run into the famous or semi-famous ( City Council candidate Ed Garren was spotted), or see escaping sailors emerge from the Shanghai Tunnels-the entrance is in front of the bar-in need of a drink". The establishment also served as a starting point for tours of the Shanghai tunnels. Hobo's was a restaurant, gay bar, and piano bar located at 120 Northwest 3rd Avenue in downtown Portland's Old Town Chinatown.
