“Great atmosphere and top-notch drinks!
Had a wonderful time at Bellwether Bar. The vibe is cozy yet stylish, the cocktails are expertly crafted, and the staff is super friendly. Perfect spot for a date night or catching up with friends. Highly recommend!“

“We stopped by this charming neighborhood spot for a quick drink and a game of Scrabble, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the S Class, a pretty and pink gin drink and holy heck, it hit me like a ton of bricks—in the best way. My friend ordered something with tajin (always a solid choice), to similar effect. The drinks fueled us through a competitive start to our Scrabble game, loosening and freeing our cognitive functions. We didn’t finish our game there, but we did finish those drinks with ease. Yum! Strongly recommend for powerful and delicious drinks, and a darling vibe.“

“We would like to say a massive thank you to Kierre and the Blank Slate team for being so accommodating, hospitable, and helpful. They made sure my fiancée Roxanne’s surprise engagement celebration was extra special and absolutely flawless!

The bar itself is stunning, trendy, cosy, and intimate with a wonderful, homely warmth. The food selection was incredible; the oysters, Tillamook Mac & cheese and truffle popcorn were a huge hit with everyone. The choice of cocktails was also phenomenal, really unique and carefully crafted to perfection.

We cannot recommend this place highly enough, whether it’s for a romantic date, a get-together with family and friends, or a large group celebrating a special milestone. Blank Slate truly has something for everyone and every occasion.

Blank Slate will always have a special place in our hearts, and every time we visit Portland, we’ll always make sure to pay a visit. It was an absolute pleasure planning and celebrating our special day with you. Until next time, cheers!

Love Ash & Roxanne!“

“a great night all around.“

“Have only been blessed with food from here twice, recently with some tomato soup and bread someone dropped off at camp which was really good and about 5 or 6 years ago one of the ladies there hooked me up with an elk burger that was incredible. Makes me happy that I spend time cleaning up the area after all the folks that toss the fast food trash out the door before driving home

Parking: Can be a little tricky as the parking for most businesses in the area is side street parallel. There's a large lot next door for McDonald's but they've been known to tow people, part of the lot is out in front of over and out but I'm not sure if that's McDonald's as well. There is a lot at 81st and Washington at Milwaukee lumber where it's ok to park after 5pm up to around 630am and one across 81st at atc autobody but watch for broken glass in that one esp near Dumpsters“

“It is a fun place to hangout. Bartenders are really nice. I recommend people should go there.“

“We love this place. The staff is amazing, even if you are new to wine but you have an idea of what you would like to taste, from something sweet, bubbly or heavy and dry. They know what to recommend and they are spot on. Jazz nights are amazing. This place is small and cozy and welcoming.“

“I absolutely adore this pub and am so glad it's in my neighborhood. Warm, welcoming atmosphere, always amazing music, friendly bartenders serving proper cold ones. I enjoy myself every single time.“

“We were visiting from Colorado and saw the reviews are good and they were right! Awesome atmosphere. Laid back western decorations. Had games and lounge areas. Beautiful wood bar. CLEAN bathroom and the food was great. Tiny menu but quality. Definitely a cool hangout spot. It's tucked away in a weird corner parking lot but don't be fooled. They were not very busy on a Friday night which was surprising. I don't think many people know about this place so check it out and bring them some business. You can tell they poured their heart and soul into this place. Don't let their effort go to waste. They deserve a visit.“

“Always interesting beer selections with only a few to choose. Keep it simple approach keeps the FOMO managable. On a sunny day this place is gold. They should honestly have 1-10 scale signs available to heckle the drivers that cant handle the intersection. Its hilarious how many people fail here.“

“They do specials all the time! Yum! That cocktail they call "tea" is strong, but taste so good! The clam chowder on Fridays are the best!“

We got a sneak peak at the mimosa buckets being offered and couldn’t be more pleased.

This place has a very relaxed and calm atmosphere with great options for video poker.

And with our dogs they were more than happy sitting in the patio area with a bowl of water provided.

I couldn’t recommend this place enough!“

“So clean! We've been here twice this month because of the good selection of pinball machines, cold beer, super awesome service and welcoming atmosphere.

We appreciate you so much!“
