Phenomenal. We ordered the Chicken Liver Pate and ribeye steak. What can I say? The pate was paired with a fruit mustard and perfectly pickled onions. The steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare). It’s was so tender and simply delicious. Would highly recommend

What a find in a Portland. We came in on a cold Sunday night and didn’t have to wait long for a seat. They don’t take reservations , so be prepared to wait a bit for a table. While waiting, w had delicious craft cocktails and enjoyed the very beautiful vibe of the bar. We all really enjoyed our dinners, I had the steak frites which was simply delicious. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Really loved this spot. Great patio and the salty lemonade is to die for. I loved the burrata peach salad. Will for sure be going again.

This place popped up somewhere in my feed and I’m glad it did. We went for lunch today and it was as adorable as it sounds. Love the feel and clean look with all the older furniture and decor, it truly felt warm and inviting. The drinks were fun and we enjoyed a few as well as shared some food. Very nice and simple but delicious in complex flavors and presentation. A nice place to take my mom, my friend, husband and dog. On the patio of course.

Vegetarian options: A nice little trio at least of vegetation options.

Very cute spot with nice wooden booths and an outdoor patio. Great drinks, great atmosphere, good food for what I think of as mainly a bar. Will be going back

I found the food to be too salty over a variety of offerings. Delicious, but overly salty. Deviled Eggs, Farm Greens Salad, Seafood Roll, Chickpea Panisse - delicious but too much salt. Cocktails were excellent and well balanced. Patio out back was quite pleasant. Good service but you have to order at the bar.

I love it here. Great vibe all around and I always get great service and drinks. Now call me crazy… there is great food options but everything is extremely salty. Like… it’s crazy. Other than that it’s flawless.

If the food we had at Bellwether Bar on the 21st of June were either half the price or double the portions, I would rate it four stars instead of two. It took four dishes to satiate two adult appetites, and we aren't the McCrary twins.

There is no host or hostess; seat yourself. Nor is there a wait staff; place your order at the bar. If you have a question, good luck keeping the attention of the bartenders, who already have drinks to prepare while taking food orders.

Bellwether Bar's old school tavern setting has its charm. However, its old school lack of air conditioning or even ceiling fans did not make us more comfortable on a warm June day.

The tab for four orders priced like entrees but smaller than appetizers, along with two beers, came to $72.00. Good food, yes, but poor dollar value.

This might be my new favorite bar in town. The inside is so unexpectedly charming and has a very romantic vibe, and the drinks were creative and delicious. Reminds me of some of my favorite holes-in-the-wall in Scotland. Makes for a great date night!

Have to go to the bar for service, but that's the only downside here. Comfy, cozy with a v nice rear patio. Cocktails were solid. Have not had the food
