Nice little spot for Mediterranean inspired eats. Covered patio out front with a few tables - it was great to take our dog with us.

Great happy hour menu, beautiful reuse of building materials for the accent wall. I just wish there weren't so many aggressive frat boys, because they are a safety hazard late at night. Ladies, stay vigilant.Vegetarian options: They have plenty of vegetarian options, including entrees.Parking: Very small parking lot in rear.

Favorite bar in Portland. The food is always great, friendly people, and it's nice and cozy inside. The smash burger is pretty decadent in my opinion; really good if you want something that will fill you up and then some. Recently had the Parmesan garlic fries - they were really good but you are going to want to drink to help wash these down.

I dropped in with some friends on a Sunday evening. The food was good. I definitely did not walk away hungry. I had the six piece chicken wings with mango hubanaro sauce it was excellent. That's a lot more than I can say for my long island ice tea. I'm not sure why, but the wait for food coming out of the kitchen was a little slow. I'll definitely return. Everybody has an off tonight.Parking: There's limited parking around the building.Or side streets, however, however, there is parking. That's available in the evenings, at least on Sundays behind the building. Belongs to the business behind them. There are no signs warning of being towed. Worked for me.

Can I give zero stars? I would stay far away from this place if I were ANYONE. Gyro nachos with a side of dead bug? Sure thing! I saw a little black line on my food and scooped it out with a spoon. Thankfully, I'm paranoid and decided to poke around the rest with my fork. That's when I found a small, dead bug with three legs and a wing. Completely freaked out, I took out my phone to take a picture. The bartender quickly came over, and picked up my plate before I could open the camera app. "There's a bug on the outside of the plate." They literally SNICKERED and said "I'll get you another one." What?! I said no, I just want the food taken off my bill. After five minutes of eye rolling and making weird noises with their mouth, I was given my receipt with an amount that really didn't seem right. Of course, they didn't comp the nachos. At this point I'm ready to headbutt someone. Whatever. My experience sucked. They never comped the food. No apology (obviously) And they took the plate away so quickly I can't show the yelp world how disgusting it was. I wouldn't come back if someone gave me a thousand dollar gift certificate. Take it from me, stay away.

Bar staff over charged, filled in their own tip then foraged my signature on the receipt. When I went to them to try and resolve it, I was met with hostility and rudeness from the staff..(see photos attached). After many attempts to call them and never receiving any kind of follow ups or call back I messaged them only for them to accuse me of lying. Was told to go ahead and file complaints because they're friends with the olcc and it won't matter.

This is a really awesome grungy fopo bar. The food is really damn good, bartenders are super nice, drinks are good, good tap selection, nice happy hour, patio is dog- and smoker-friendly, and you can sink as much $ as you want into the digital jukebox. It can get pretty loud on weekendsVegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian Middle Eastern fare, and veggie burgers as well

The food here is beyond reproach. So delicious and wonderful. It has the feel of a locals-only neighborhood bar, but the atmosphere and service are welcoming and comfortable.
