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

“Clever and custom cocktails. They all taste fantastic and the bartenders will give solid recommendations. So happy to have such a cool place in my neighborhood!“

“I can't stop thinking about the celery salad and the warm olives“

“One of my favorite bars in Portland. Perfect date spot. Beautiful interior and back patio. Great lighting. Good cocktails, I love that they have mini mixed shots for like $7.

For how fresh and delicious most of their menu items are, I was surprised at the burger quality - I’m almost certain it was a frozen patty, which seems so unlike this spot. I could be wrong, it just didn’t taste like what the price point makes it seem you’re getting. That said, everything else I’ve eaten here is fantastic.“

“Best Pina Colada in town food is amazing nice staff outdoor dinning only super fun atmosphere“

“The service was wonderful! Friendly, attentive, and great communication! We had cocktails, apps, and desserts! The Fantasia was delicious!!! The yucca fries and corn empanada were very tasty. The desserts were both unique and very delicious! Perfect for date night or fun night out with friends! We will definitely be coming back!“

“I love the staff and feel of Tomorrow's Verse. It is relaxing in a sweet neighborhood. Food is fine, not so great for GFers. The great thing is you can bring food in from restaurants in the area if you want something different. TJ the owner, is just friendly enough with some East Coast flair. Always a good time at TV! Xoxo“

“One of the few places open during my Tuesday Date Nights. An amazing casual default when my girlfriend and I want to go out on a random whim. The drinks are delicious and reasonably priced given the quality. The staff is welcoming and the atmosphere is the right blend of cozy and lively. Perfect place to go on a cold night to grab a comforting drink and have engaging conversations with your company of choice“

“Absolutely a wonderful time whether casual or just fun and a quick drink! Very nice staff and food was amazing! Matt, the bartender was very helpful!! Great Paninis and desserts and soup!! I will be back for sure!!!!“

“Had a very special time with our group of five. Adam made the whole experience easy and fun!“

“Love 23rd Avenue Bottle Shop! I always come here to shop for gifts because of the great selection. Whether it's wine, beer, spirits, or the cool McMenamins stuff (coffee, apparel, barware,etc.), this place has it all as a one-stop gift shop. I also live that they have good volume so that when I buy something as a gift, I am also able to buy the same item for myself to try it out (i.e., whiskey, beers, etc.). Lastly, the prices are very reasonable, the ambience is way cool, and the staff are always very nice and helpful. A+++!“

“Nice outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Great neighborhood vibe!“

“We’ve enjoyed some celebrations at this beautiful space! The menu works for all and their drinks are so well done!“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“As a visitor from South Carolina (aka Trumpistan), I am thrilled to know places like this establishment actually exist. We have no such refuges in my region. It’s so refreshing to mingle with people who value good drinks, good politics, and good society.
Thank you thank you for making my visit to Portland memorable.
Thank you for supporting and defending your community so well.
Thank you for just being good humans.
Solidarity!“

“Great beer great ambience, fantastic service, and a friendly atmosphere so, you can’t go wrong. Loved our night out at this taphouse!“

“My Freeland Spirts experience started with a free taster coupon but led to some much. The staff with super friendly and knowledgeable. I’m not really a gin drinker, but after learning how it was sourced / created it peaked my interest.

Marisa was helpful / kind and create a great tasting experience.“

“Always a great experience at Hale Pele. Great atmosphere. Delicious Tiki Drinks. If you arrive and there's a line, don't get discouraged, as the seats tend to become avaliable relatively quickly. We didn't eat, we just had a drink and left a out was the end of the night. Can't say how good the food is.“

“Such a fun, welcoming little bar! The food is absolutely delicious, the cocktails are lovingly crafted, and the HUGE game selection makes this place the best hidden gem on Main Street. Head up the stairs next to Versus and check it out for yourself!“

“I cannot say enough good things about love shack. The servers are always incredible, always great to chat with. The menu is creative and has a variety of many different things. The ribeye skewers and oysters live in my head rent free. We celebrated my birthday there this past week and they made it extra special.

I believe Johnny was the name of our server, and he was the best! I made a note on our reservation about how we knew we wanted oysters and he had 2 dozen ready for us when we got there. 10/10 as always, thank you Love Shack!“

“This may be one of my new favorite bars in Portland. Well made cocktails. Had the foreign panache and then ordered a Vesper off menu. Very well balanced on both. The decor, music, vibe, all perfect. Well done! I miss 24th and Meatballs but this is a welcome replacement!“

“where to start, we are big good truck goers. A family of 5. makes it great when everyone can get what they want. This place is beautiful, they had a handful of trucks (more coming) but the options were definitely a mix. Something for everyone for sure. The Cuban food truck is a 10/10 highly recommend! The Cuban sandwich was the best sandwich ive had in a long time. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. My husband and kids had burgers, corn dogs, and chicken strips. The burgers were huge. super great flavor, (adding lamb burgers to the menu soon) super excited to come back to try those. Lets talk drinks, I like a good spicy cocktail, however most "full bars" offer Tabasco to spice up my drink. I hate that. I prefer a spicy tequila or a muddled jalepeno. This place has bitters. This was hands down the best spicy margarita (the house margarita with spicy bitters) that I have had since I've been out here. They have have a changing station in the bathroom. a pinball room, and a kids toys section. For families like us, little kids, picky eater, the FULL bar. This is by far the best food truck place we have went to.“

“Fun time. A bit of a wait, so go early.“

“Best Mezcal selection in the country! Their Mezcal wall is so impressive. Dan and Brendon are artists at cocktail making. Delicious cocktails. They are super nice and we learned a lot about Mezcal. The Brussels sprouts Caesar is amazing! Whatever sauce is in it should be bottled. The tacos melt in your mouth. So delicious. The atmosphere is dark, moody, toasty. Great on a fall/winter night!“

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

“Great place to hang with friends and delicious beverages!“

“Didn’t try the food, so five stars there. Selection is very good, well curated but oddly laid out. If I had to nitpick I’d say there’s a lot of filler in between islands of quality. Prices are very reasonable. Went here on a gift card, would I go back with real money? I think so.“

“Great addition to the South Waterfront.“

“Fun atmosphere and good drinks!“

“We rented out this space for our All Star Accounting Professionals Inc. Year-End Celebration. The entire process was seamless. Our questions were answered timely & in detail. The day of the celebration, we walked into the space that was so inviting, cozy, and elegant. Flowers on the tables, candles lit, and fireplace going. Connor, our bartender. went above & beyond helping us load, move tables, take off candles & flowers to use our own decorations, share lighters & chalk, and even helped some with loading our car. We were so impressed we might just book this place again next year!“

“Gin gimlets were delicious“

“Great place to watch all the San Francisco 49’er games!!! One of the 2 viewing sites for Niner Empire Beaverton. Great beers and pub grub“

“F'n amazing people and amazing beer!“

“My food and drink as well as all my friends' were super delicious! The patios were spacious and pretty and good for conversation, but inside was about as loud as loud gets on a Saturday, which I guess is kind of expected. They printed bad reviews on the last page of their menu which I thought was pretty funny, and a lot of them mentioned that the bartender was rude which proved to be true, he had a pretty bad attitude. Service was fine in general though and food came out fast“

“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“

“Friendly folks ~ awesome food carts ~ nice drinks!“

“Comfortable booths, tiki cocktails, fun karaoke on Saturday night.“

“Go for the Vibe.

My friend and I enjoyed our visit to this bar.
It has a fun and welcoming vibe.

The bar decor is eclectic and a bit traditional dive bar.

The bath rooms were clean.

Don't expect much from the food. The food is bar food, not great, not bad. Nothing special. My battered fish was slightly on the burned side. The bar tender gavee half off the over priced fish.“
