Lounges near Happy Valley, OR

“Owner is amazing and friendly and seemed to deeply care about her customers. I will definitely be back!“

“Reminds me of NYC, really cool place to grab a drink. Turns info a nightclub after 10 PM“

“Much bigger inside than you would think. So happy there is live music. Regulars make you feel welcome.“

“It was quiet when we arrived at 11:40 on a Sunday morning. We were greeted as we entered, seated immediately, and had food within 10 minutes of walking in. We ordered fried wings, which arrived too hot to touch with a tempura like breading. Light and crisp and delicious! We ordered two bowls of ramen, and two different sakes. The food came fast. Beautiful presentation. Absolutely delicious ramen - noodles are handmade! And we were treated like honored guests. What an amazing little place to find in NE Portland.“

“Best cocktails in the area! I keep coming back for the cocktails, ambiance, and bartenders. The drinks are exceptional, and the live music creates such a fun atmosphere.
The food is reasonably priced and serves its purpose, but it does not quite match the quality of the drinks. I understand it is a very small kitchen, so the menu is necessarily limited. I would absolutely love to see them partner with Camas Cheese for their cheese and charcuterie boards, olives, … It would take an already amazing cocktail experience to the next level.“

“This was our second time at this lovely lounge. Perfect for romantic date nights or a quiet ladies night. We ordered the farmers board and tried a handful of cocktails all were delicious!“

“Opened up to write a review & see I did 8 years ago! Same review holds true today. Still one of the best spots ever! :>)
******
So love the Rum Club. Friends and I eat here regularly. The food is amazing, every time...just exceptionally delicious. And the staff are always fantastic too. Super cozy atmosphere makes this a great place!“

“Too Soon is a much-needed addition to the Portland scene. The perfect place to relax with friends or even actually meet somebody new worth meeting. Looking forward to checking out their awesome menu! Plus the bartenders can make anything and everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“This is a great first date place. The food presentation was outstanding. However, we felt it was a little blan. They use RC soda products here, which are flat at the bar but have carbonation if gotten from the back. Amazing happy hour!

Kid-friendliness: Not great for kiddos.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of wheelchair accessibility tables.“

“We were there for the first time on the evening of January 10, 2026. We sat at the bar for a bit because we were a little early for our reservation. Michelle brought us a couple of beers and we ordered a plate of six oysters. She chatted cheerfully with us while she busily poured drinks for others and then introduced us to her two sons and a son’s girlfriend, who all also work there. Everyone was so friendly and kind! When our table was ready, Michelle thanked us for being there and said that it was great to meet us. At our table, we ordered another half dozen oysters, a caesar salad, a couple more beers, and two big bowls of cioppino. Absolutely delicious with the large, thick slices of freshly-made garlic bread for dunking. This place is a true gem. Four generation of family working there and their love for the place and what they do shows. Can’t wait to go back!!“

“Such a talented, fresh and FUN little theater. They got some amazing quacky musicals and themed improv shows. Great for awesome weekend dates.“

“TTT is one of Portland's hippest and most happening venues. Very soulful.“

“Have been going there for years For breakfast how long with my sister and brother-in-law. But now they don’t open till noon I guess except Saturday. So I’m very disappointed I don’t get to go there any more“

“Gin gimlets were delicious“

“Jade does a great job! 🙂👍“

“I frequented this place a lot over the years, it’s nice and intimate inside and a great place for a date night. We don’t usually order food but the cocktails are straight forward and well mixed. It’s not the best place in town to order a cocktail, but it is the best place in “

“I make a stop at the Bye & Bye every time I’m in town! Once a year, but totally worth it!!“

“The food was a symphony of flavors everything is made in house by the woman who owns the place Yes her and her husband own it it's a mom and pops in all their all their customers are their children The drinks are delicious The best thing is that habanero honey You have to have it on any of the food“

“Food is alright, just average fried food with the exception of their buffalo wings.
Service is always consistently good with friendly bartenders who are attentive to one's needs. Well made drinks.
Atmosphere, what can I say, it's cozy and warm with soft RGB LED lights giving the room a perfect ambiance.
On Friday evenings they have what is called The Queen's Keys, With notable Portland Drag Queens Saint Syndrome and Nichole Anoscopy. In which they cover popular music in a Lounge style. Think Richard Cheese in Drag. I absolutely love their renditions. It's Soo much fun.

Vegetarian options: The meatless chicken nuggets are bomb!

Parking: Free street parking AFTER 7PM.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space to move around. With ADA Restroom.“

“This place is a hidden gem. It's very unassuming from the outside and once inside, the darkest cleanest dive bar. There's the dark side and the light side, both served food by Libbie's restaurant. Dont ask me how that all works but it does. The chicken cordon bleu sandwich was recommended to me and was delicious. They even have purse hooks under the bar top which if you're a woman, you know. I just wish they were open later then 8pm.
Will for sure be back!“

“Great coffee quality, and super creative specials. Don’t hesitate to try something new; the banana milk and grnd season lattes were both absolutely killer, and a really cool homage to the owners’ roots. The owner is super sweet and this space is really cozy!! Go check it out!!“

“Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.“

“It’s like partying in a cool friends backyard! Eclectic and jus super fun!“

“Went to Box Social with my husband for the first time last night. We were staying in a nearby AirBnB and the hosts recommended it. Sweet spot and yummy drinks! Fun menu as well with Pride month theme options. We had forgotten a pair of sunglasses and a map 🤦🏻‍♀️😅 on our table and the server ran down 2 blocks to give them back to us! Super sweet and thoughtful. Thank you!! We plan on returning when we’re back in the neighborhood.“

“I am pissed that the bartender changed the music from the juke box. I wasted $5. Never heard a single because she listened to what she wanted. Third time this has happened. I am not coming back here and keeping my friends from going here after this.“

“Seems like a new location. Stopped in during the day on a work trip. It's mainly a bar/nightclub setting but the food seems to be authentic African dishes. Also has a great island reggae/ afrobeat vibe and decor. Cool artwork painted onto the walls. Ordered the goat pepper soup. Get ready for your nostrils to open up if you're not used to spice. Kept eating despite the heat. Flavor was great.“

“Very very very good try Vietnamese party food4 real!!! Best in P-Town“

“I really enjoyed my visit here. I’m new to cigars but I felt comfortable, and El Borracho is the best cigar I’ve had so far. I’m glad they have a patio because I wouldn’t be able to sit inside. It was a relaxing experience and I’ll be back.“

“When living in Portland this was my default place to connect with a friend, or when I wanted to be around people while also reading or doing some work. The kava is always excellent, with minimal sleep disturbance like some of them can cause me.“

“Low Tide Lounge has the kind of laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. The empanadas and nachos were delicious, the micheladas were on point—and best of all, the jukebox and pool table are both free.

What more could you want???“

“great atmosphere and food“

“Went on Superbowl Sunday. Nice people, the Bartender was absolutely wonderful! First time visit, and I was made to feel very welcome in a bar that appeared to be regulars. Also, the $10-20 cost I provided reflects the fact that I was there for a couple. Also, I tip.“

“so much fun. great rooms, can sing all along while requesting songs from my phone, changing lights in the room. they also have the best big soft pretzels with cheese, great staff super friendly and upbeat, the bathrooms are clean and put together creatively... great for groups wanting to sing and have fun.“

“Food is always good, bartender almost always good! Sometimes that person bringing out the food has a little bit of extra attitude, not sure why. People that haven't been there before are always aware that you have to go to the bar to order, just a little bit of grace explaining that to people would go a long way!“

“We love Gresham My Bar! Food is usually pretty good but the best part is Ross the bartender! He’s like a good buddy! Very attentive, quick service, remembers our names…. The best!!“

“Stopped in for a drink (or two) and had ourselves a quality time. This place has a way of transporting you, and that's not easy to do. Great service somehow managed to be outshined by even better cocktails. I just wish we'd come hungry, the food coming out of the kitchen looked ridiculous. We'll be coming back for sure.“

“GREAT VENUE! For a geriatric crowd. They feature a ton of Afro-beat and funk grooves basically every weekend or any day I feel like dancing. 💃🏻 🕺“

“The Limelight is my go to happy hr place! Their menu is fantastic and the food is some of the best happy hour food I have had around town. Their Limelight Harvest Salad is always fresh and filling and adding a little protein makes it a complete meal.
Being a whiskey girl, the cherry infused Maker's Mark Manhattan never disappoints, but beware, one does it's job.
Lastly, I have met some amazing people there (and their dogs) which only adds to each amazing memory created there.“

“I was staying here and so I ordered a meal to go, since they don't provide room service. I had the brisket sandwich, it was ok, not a lot of flavor and certain bites were a little tough but overall it was decent. Fries were crisp and plentiful, but perhaps a bit too much salt seasoning on them.“

“I think the spaceroom will recognize my name :) But personally this is the best food place ever! The French fries- “chefs kiss” and the drag brunches are so fun! And on top it’s like you’re eating in space.“

“Whenever my man and I go out to see our favorite band’s, which is 1-2 times s week and all our friends are there as well…..let the Shenanigans begin, because we all get the party started, because the bands set lists are so good, we can’t stop dancing and grooving….We always have the BEST times of time’s @ M&Ms, no doubt about that……And all the band that play there are some of THE BEST in the PNW…“

“Been thru many owners here, best by far in the last 15+ years!“

“Have been coming here since I was a kid, and will keep coming back. Literally the best food I’ve ever had. The egg flower soup is 10/10, the rice is always 10/10, generous portions and always the nicest staff. All other Chinese restaurants don’t even come close!“

“Every thing is great.“

“To be honest I never would have gone here if it wasn’t for Drag Trivia.
It felt like such a warm, inclusive place and I have made so many new friends.
The bartenders are lovely, and I love that they have CBD soda on tap!“

“I found this bar while trying to kill a few hours and left wishing this was my neighborhood bar. My Way Lounge was clean, very approachable, and the drinks were great. My bar tender "Nathan" was an absolute rock star. It's a rare find when you find a place so welcoming and you leave feeling like you made a new friend... "Nathen." I never write reviews but let me say, if you are looking for a friendly place to hang out and just chill, this is the place.“

“I’m so happy it’s back. uwu“

“Awesome food service and everything“
