We went for Drag Brunch, which was fun but also very frustrating. There were not many food options, approximately 6 things to choose from and there were only a certain amount of them, like a fruit cup that was sold out. The service was terriblely slow, it took at least 30 minutes to get a drink and an hour to get our breakfast sandwich. I ordered coffee that never arrived. The Drag show was fun but I don't know if I'd come back or recommend it.

The Karaoke DJ dressed as Wonder Woman last night was so rude to my friends that we had to leave. Rolled her eyes every time my friends picked a song, or showed any kind of excitement- was completely unpleasant, and then had the AUDACITY to ask us to tip her- which we did? The Anti-blackness was palpable, my friends were the only Black people present and we didn't see her being rude to anyone else... ?

Seriously reconsider doing karaoke elsewhere if you want to be allowed to have fun. Isn't your job as a KJ to like, create a good vibe? Also crazy to dress like Wonder Woman and then be nasty to femmes.

Went early on a week night, only a few other parties present. Bartender was extremely condescending out of nowhere. Very off putting and disappointing. Also got charged for soda water from the tap which I was not expecting (and has never happened at any other bar in Portland).

We found them on line, and so thankful we did. Our server Matty was prompt and so nice. I got the Pink Daydream cocktail, it did not disappoint. So bright and flavorful. My mom got the lunch special which had beef, and red peppers, with a very tasty horseradish sauce. I got the Hey Tony, I ate it all! Such an amazing sandwich, as was gazpacho which I took most of home.
The atmosphere was great. The choices of paint colors was fantastic.
I also have to add ...they use an amazing napkin! Always a sign the restaurant cares. Thank you, we will be back.

NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.

They have there space listed here as having a “wheelchair accessible space”and “wheelchair accessible entrance”, neither of which is true. The music venue part is upstairs with no elevator and there is a step to the door, meaning you can’t even enter in a wheelchair to get to the bar area.

I get that the building is historic, but don’t lie and say you are accessible when you’re not.

Cool bar. Bartenders are great. Glad there's another venue for music in Portland. Food is all vegan.

The meaty caprese is to die for. So good! Staff was very friendly and attentive.

Spencer Lew

Super rude bartender who not-so-subtly shamed me for my drink choice. She told me they didn’t have the stuff to make my drink, which was reasonable enough, but then asked me why I couldn’t get a “normal drink”. If I had asked for a mojito or something else that was a pain to make, I would understand, but what I wanted was only three ingredients. Sorry for putting you out, I guess?

Great drag brunch every Sunday! Nice cocktails to go with a great show. Get the toasted marshmallow cocktail

Wide high ceilinged bar with 2 gathering spaces and a laid back vibe.
Killer vegan burgers
