Loved getting out of the St Patrick’s Day hustle and into a calm beautiful cocktail lounge. Drinks were tasty and the staff were good. A definite go to.

Service was slow and the music was very low this night. Iusually like to come here for the ambiance, listen to the good music, and have great drinks! Some nights are better than others.

This place has a very good atmosphere about it. Very chill. Nice place to go grab a drink watch a game. The bartenders were great. Just my only complaint was the time it took to make drinks was a little bit long and it wasn’t too busy at the time.

This cocktail bar is always such a vibe! My friends and I sat at the bar while we waited for our table at Ermanos. The music is soft and a reasonable level so we can hear each other. The bartenders are all very welcoming and helpful when selecting one of their speciality cocktails. My friends and I all ordered the Midnight Mass as it's a sweeter mezcal drink with just enough smokiness. Pornstar was another one of our favorites. I would recommend coming here for a night out with the girls or meeting over drinks.

Love drinking at portal. They give you a welcome shot when you enter. My favorite drink is penasco. They are all premixed drinks so they won’t customize anything for you. Always a chill vibe.

The room was very small, and there were too many people the host's crowded in the small room. The drinks were creative and tasted good, but small snacks that were not just nuts/fruit would have been nice.

Ooh the mooooooood in here! What a great space - swanky, fun, welcoming with great bartenders & service. We sat at the bar & they started us off with a complimentary shot! What a fun bday gift (they didn't even know!!). We had the chocolate mangoes (OMG THE CHOCOLATE MANGOES!!! Delish! Extravagant! So chocolaty & soy-free which matters for one of us!!) and two very delicious crafted cocktails. Go here!

Went with some friends shared this big drink . everything is very picture perfect and the staff is helpful and nice the drinks were good. The atmosphere is calm and i enjoyed my experience .
Great little spit for a drink or quick bite! I've had a mostly good experience with the restaurant side, and got to finally get into Portal (the back of the restaurant's bar, that's different from the front-end bar/restaurant), It's usually too busy to check out, so I was glad I got to sit comfortably and have not just a drink, but a very nice well made drink.. i was very impressed with the bartenders, and their knowledge and perfectionism of drinks! The best time to come to Portal is right before happy hour ends, especially before the dinner rush to avoid being elbow to elbow. I believe I was there at/around 4/5? And it was perfect. I also love being able to grab a bite late after a show downtown, or escaping the craziness of 4th Ave in a decently cozy environment from the restaurant. Definitely check it out :)

We came here after eating at Ermanos. Great atmosphere and the bartenders were attentive and knowledgeable. The menu includes a wide variety of drinks. Everything we had was not overly sweet and well balanced.

Stopped real quick for a drink with my wife. Passed by it because we didn't know that the entrance was thru another restaurant. So glad we came back to look for it. Would highly recommend to anyone and will be coming back!
