Great food and drinks. The ceviche and the floutus were our favorites. Super cool vibe and had no problem talking even though it was a full house on a Saturday night.

Perfect cocktails. Amazingly fresh seafood. As always, the ceviche is out of this world. Love the swanky speakeasy atmosphere!

This is a small dark romantic basement bar.
The food options are limited. The hot caso and chips were tasty.
The salsa and guacamole and chips were passable.
The music playing was romantic and not to loud.
The service staff where nice.
I hope to return to this bar to enjoy drinks again.

Stopped in to 2NW5 on our way to a show. Shelby and Ash were phenomenal. They were friendly and knowledgeable and made this stop an unexpected highlight of our trip.

Fantastic spot in PDX! Shelby was a fantastic bartender who went out of her way to come up with the perfect cocktail combinations for our group. Definite “don’t miss” for your night out in Portland.

2NW5 is a stylish and inviting bar with a great atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The highlight was undoubtedly the service—Shelby was attentive, friendly, and crafted the best Hugo Spritz I’ve ever had. Refreshing, balanced, and beautifully presented, it made the whole experience unforgettable.

Super cool and moody speakeasy in downtown Portland. The vibe is very chill, drinks are really great. Don’t forget to ‘knock, knock, knock’

Speakeasy in old town. Parking is tricky. Pockets of homeless people around. The Oreo drink is delicious and tastes like a dessert. It has a whole raw egg in it btw! Still pretty good

The bar was visually appealing and we had great expectations. But were left wanting for more.
Here are some of the key highlights:
1. The space is small and therefore got INCREDIBLY loud with the crowd. Appears to be some kind of issue with the acoustics for a higher end bar like this. Me and my date had to finally leave as we were constantly screaming at each other to be able to merely hear.
2. The heat was tuned up a bit too high and we were sweating. Tried to check-in or hang my sweater and jacket. Still didn’t help.
3. Service was okay, but the servers could barely manage to keep up with the crowd. They got our drinks, but forgot the snacks. We didn’t try asking again because the line was too long.
4. From a safety standpoint, this bar is located in one of the shadier parts of downtown Portland.
Overall summary: Given the concerns with safety and how pricey the bar was and the overall mediocre experience, I would definitely pick several other bars in Portland over this one. You wouldn’t lose much if you skipped this one!

This is a cute spot with speakeasy vibes. I've only been here twice but each time everyone loved their cocktails. I do prefer spirit forward and have a hard time with sweet cocktails but everything I ordered here or tried my friends drinks, were all very balanced.

Knock, knock... Order at the bar. The loud music made it hard to hold a conversation, in this quaint spot. Don't forget to tip the Steward.

Probably won’t come back. Walked in… not overly crowded but it took 30 mins to get a cocktail
