Do yourself a favor and eat here, but know that you have to seat yourself, order at the bar and grab your own water….then cringe when they ask for a tip on your bill

WARNING!!! DO NOT EAT HERE RIGHT NOW!!! FOOD POISONING ALERT!! Wanted to call them to let them know but they don’t have a phone number listed and they did not respond to the email. I called the health department so hopefully they can resolve this soon. We got VERY sick and it was 100% from the peanut broccoli bowl or the sauce that comes with the pretzels.

Maybe I got the wrong thing but I didn’t enjoy this spot. I’d give it another chance though, because it seems popular and like a great hangout place.

All vegan menu 😎🌱 and the Weeping Tiger sandwich was amazing! Looking forward to trying more here

The vegan pretzel knots were so good!

What's cooler than an all vegan bar?! The Bye and Bye is a Portland staple with a hint of 2010's hipster vibe.
Ample indoor seating and a ton of outdoor seating in both their back and front patios, most of which is covered and heated. Awesome spot for large gatherings!
Extensive drink menu along with n/a options that are well priced.
My only gripe is the food. It's not typical bar food as their are few burgers and lots of bowls, however the bowls aren't typical "healthy" bowls. Nothing on the menu has ever been great to me, always a bit lacking. Most people seem to enjoy the food, so it must be a me issue.
If you haven't been here, absolutely give The Bye and Bye a try!

Pretty much one of the most garbage restaurant/bars I’ve had the displeasure of eating at. The burger lazily came with potato chips, the bun super dry and the Beyond patty very gooey, as if microwaved to order. The decor is pretty god awful too. Alcohol tastes good but can’t really mess that up.

I debated leaving this review because I really only enjoy writing positive reviews, particularly in support of local establishments. This place should be amazing. We go here often because my husband is vegan and we are in love with attending Wed trivia with a group of friends. The last time we were all in together two of the group members went to order drinks and came back quite a long time later, empty handed. They told us that the bartender was quite rude during initial ordering and they finally gave up on ordering this second round after being passed over repeatedly, they were quite upset. Having been a bartender myself for many years I actually defended the bar staff, noting that it was busy and it was likely nothing personal or intentional, just an oversight. My friends kindly disagreed. Our drink-less night continued.
Fast forward to last weekend, when I am in there ordering for myself, with a different group of friends. The bartender was so unnecessarily rude to me, with zero provocation (unless saying “May I please order the…” is somehow antagonistic) - I was actually shocked enough to spend my time writing this right now. I would just like to say, it doesn’t matter how great some outdoor seating is, or how wonderful it is to have access to a vegan menu… if staff are treating you like you are nothing but an annoyance and inconvenience, it ruins the taste of everything. Portland has a million wonderful local options for places to eat, drink and socialize, I don’t consider it a competitive edge having staff that are still embracing the over-played arrogant bartender persona. Super disappointed to have to find somewhere else for the group to go.
The BBQ tofu was so very good and the tiger sandwich was also tasty. The mac and cheese was rich and flavorful

It's better to order on the phone because ordering in person is kind of awkward since it's set up as a bar. However if you want to get a drink from a variety of local brews feel free to go in person. Food is pretty good with a bunch of vegan/vegetarian options. I definitely recommend.

Visited Portland for the first time in seven years, I had to see if my old flame—Bye & Bye—still had the spark. Spoiler: it does.
Visit #1 was brunch, where we demolished a breakfast sammie, hazelnut French toast, and a couple of spicy Bloody Marys. The food? Absolute knockouts. The drinks? Let’s just say they were… present.
Before skipping town, we swung by for one last fling—this time to-go. The BBQ tofu platter was every bit as dreamy as I remembered, and my partner’s burger apparently made him reconsider the meaning of “excellent.”
Verdict: Turns out this place isn’t just a rose-tinted memory from my twenties—it’s still the real deal.
Slaps!!!
