Lounges in Portland, OR

“Visiting the Multnomah Whiskey Library was truly a memorable and indulgent experience. The atmosphere was refined yet welcoming, making it an exceptional setting to explore a curated selection of fine spirits. Our drink valet, Scott, was knowledgeable, attentive, and thoughtfully guided us through a selection of whiskies that perfectly suited our preferences. His recommendations were both insightful and well-considered, elevating the overall experience. The whiskies were expertly paired with a charcuterie board, which complemented the flavors beautifully and added an extra layer of enjoyment. Altogether, it was a sophisticated and thoroughly enjoyable visit that I would highly recommend.“

“Reminds me of NYC, really cool place to grab a drink. Turns info a nightclub after 10 PM“

“Miles is a great guy! Drop by to say hello 🤙“

“This was our second time at this lovely lounge. Perfect for romantic date nights or a quiet ladies night. We ordered the farmers board and tried a handful of cocktails all were delicious!“

“It was quiet when we arrived at 11:40 on a Sunday morning. We were greeted as we entered, seated immediately, and had food within 10 minutes of walking in. We ordered fried wings, which arrived too hot to touch with a tempura like breading. Light and crisp and delicious! We ordered two bowls of ramen, and two different sakes. The food came fast. Beautiful presentation. Absolutely delicious ramen - noodles are handmade! And we were treated like honored guests. What an amazing little place to find in NE Portland.“

“Awesome place to grab a brewski. Went here with the wife and had a great time!“

“Not just a dive bar, but a clean, artful and nostalgia laced environment where locals and travelers alike come to let loose and be theirselves. Great service with a nice section of drafts. I can tell they care about the food they offer and the menu should not be ignored. Late night menu may differ depending on the day, but there is always something for everyone. If you are from out of town and want to have a chat with knowledgeable people, the bartenders and local clientele aren't short with facts and fun stories.“

“I do not recommend Star Theatre! We went to see MC Chris August 9th 2025 at 9pm. We did get to the venue when we get there (me and my husband.) We hand the bouncer/security our IDs and he checks my husband's super fast when he gets to mine he takes a rather long time. He was a tall male, facial piercing, hat, around six foot, blonde beard, mid size man. He then tells me its fake. I tell him it unfortunately isn't but I try not to be too aggressive or argumentative. My husband then hands him his ID back and ask him what the difference between the two are and what he thinks makes it fake. He shines the light through them again and then refuses to tell us why he thought it was fake just thay it was fake and he didn't believe use but we could get a ticket refund online. I try to get a refund as my partner will jot go in without me and I do not know how else to prove its valid. But they won't refund me because it wasn't an issue with the tickets just the venue. So my partner the smart man he is calls non emergency and explains the situation they said when they get a free patrol car they will send them our way. So we wait and the bouncer changes so we try again thinking maybe that bouncer just doesn't like me. The younger guy looks at our IDs and right as he is about to let us in the old bouncer comes out and tells him he cannot let us in that my ID is fake. The younger guy ask how to tell because he's never seen a fake before again the first bouncer just shines the light and says "I think its fake she can't come in but he's fine." We asked the younger guy if there was a manager above the other guy he said unfortunately no and asked if he could explain how mine is fake. He said he had no clue but he couldn't go against the other bouncer as he was above him. We explained we weren't mad with the younger bouncer we understood. We did tell the old bouncer we had called patrol to prove my ID valid. Finally the Patrol pulls up (not their fault its Saturday night I am sure they were very busy.) Then cop takes both our IDs runs a light over both and then runs them both through the system both came up valid. He then goes the the bouncer and explains my ID is indeed valid. The bouncer is SO QUITE. He simply says "stage is to the left." I give a little glare and say thank you as I snatched my ID back. Overall we missed 1hour of our concert. The concert was good. The police were so sweet. The bouncer was a total JERK! and in the end he never even scanned our tickets...I have been to Bars, Dispensarys and 21+ venues all with this ID before and never had a problem.“

“Such a talented, fresh and FUN little theater. They got some amazing quacky musicals and themed improv shows. Great for awesome weekend dates.“

“One of my favorite places in the neighborhood. The staff all are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, and it’s not a small menu. They really have something for everyone including a big list of NA cocktails. If you catch one of the bartenders with some time, they will really nerd out about the cocktails they are developing. I’ve never had a bad drink and the cocktails are a steal compared to drinks of quality in other cities.
Same with the food. The bread and butter is perfect. The butter is salty and soft. That and the pickle plate are my go-tos to nosh on. Seats are comfortable.“

“Have been going there for years For breakfast how long with my sister and brother-in-law. But now they don’t open till noon I guess except Saturday. So I’m very disappointed I don’t get to go there any more“

“TTT is one of Portland's hippest and most happening venues. Very soulful.“

“Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.“

“Food is alright, just average fried food with the exception of their buffalo wings.
Service is always consistently good with friendly bartenders who are attentive to one's needs. Well made drinks.
Atmosphere, what can I say, it's cozy and warm with soft RGB LED lights giving the room a perfect ambiance.
On Friday evenings they have what is called The Queen's Keys, With notable Portland Drag Queens Saint Syndrome and Nichole Anoscopy. In which they cover popular music in a Lounge style. Think Richard Cheese in Drag. I absolutely love their renditions. It's Soo much fun.

Vegetarian options: The meatless chicken nuggets are bomb!

Parking: Free street parking AFTER 7PM.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space to move around. With ADA Restroom.“

“This is a great first date place. The food presentation was outstanding. However, we felt it was a little blan. They use RC soda products here, which are flat at the bar but have carbonation if gotten from the back. Amazing happy hour!

Kid-friendliness: Not great for kiddos.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of wheelchair accessibility tables.“

“Opened up to write a review & see I did 8 years ago! Same review holds true today. Still one of the best spots ever! :>)
******
So love the Rum Club. Friends and I eat here regularly. The food is amazing, every time...just exceptionally delicious. And the staff are always fantastic too. Super cozy atmosphere makes this a great place!“

“Too Soon is a much-needed addition to the Portland scene. The perfect place to relax with friends or even actually meet somebody new worth meeting. Looking forward to checking out their awesome menu! Plus the bartenders can make anything and everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Went to Oregon for the first time and stayed in the hotel 10/10. I’m glad they had a restaurant there able to get drinks and go up to my hotel with no problem definitely recommend. We went every night to get a drink since they had a drink package deal for Labor Day so we got free drinks for every stay. Thank you Kevin for serving us each night!! Will definitely return back.“

“Seems like a new location. Stopped in during the day on a work trip. It's mainly a bar/nightclub setting but the food seems to be authentic African dishes. Also has a great island reggae/ afrobeat vibe and decor. Cool artwork painted onto the walls. Ordered the goat pepper soup. Get ready for your nostrils to open up if you're not used to spice. Kept eating despite the heat. Flavor was great.“

“Service was great! Food was delicious, locally sourced and affordable.“

“Very very very good try Vietnamese party food4 real!!! Best in P-Town“

“We were there for the first time on the evening of January 10, 2026. We sat at the bar for a bit because we were a little early for our reservation. Michelle brought us a couple of beers and we ordered a plate of six oysters. She chatted cheerfully with us while she busily poured drinks for others and then introduced us to her two sons and a son’s girlfriend, who all also work there. Everyone was so friendly and kind! When our table was ready, Michelle thanked us for being there and said that it was great to meet us. At our table, we ordered another half dozen oysters, a caesar salad, a couple more beers, and two big bowls of cioppino. Absolutely delicious with the large, thick slices of freshly-made garlic bread for dunking. This place is a true gem. Four generation of family working there and their love for the place and what they do shows. Can’t wait to go back!!“

“I make a stop at the Bye & Bye every time I’m in town! Once a year, but totally worth it!!“

“Excellent food and service! A fun pre-Timbers match vibe and the place was hopping!“

“Went on Superbowl Sunday. Nice people, the Bartender was absolutely wonderful! First time visit, and I was made to feel very welcome in a bar that appeared to be regulars. Also, the $10-20 cost I provided reflects the fact that I was there for a couple. Also, I tip.“

“Sound guy is very professional 👍“

“Jade does a great job! 🙂👍“

“Gin gimlets were delicious“

“I frequented this place a lot over the years, it’s nice and intimate inside and a great place for a date night. We don’t usually order food but the cocktails are straight forward and well mixed. It’s not the best place in town to order a cocktail, but it is the best place in “

“Warm cozy atmosphere, friendly service, fine cocktails.“

“I was staying here and so I ordered a meal to go, since they don't provide room service. I had the brisket sandwich, it was ok, not a lot of flavor and certain bites were a little tough but overall it was decent. Fries were crisp and plentiful, but perhaps a bit too much salt seasoning on them.“

“The food was a symphony of flavors everything is made in house by the woman who owns the place Yes her and her husband own it it's a mom and pops in all their all their customers are their children The drinks are delicious The best thing is that habanero honey You have to have it on any of the food“

“This is a beautiful and sacred place. You feel the positive vibes as soon as you come through the door and up the stairs. Holland and the rest of the staff are very friendly. The kava, teas and cacao are amazingly delicious.“

“I got into kava this week, i don't like weed and I don't like alcohol. I can't bear to stand the residual effects afterwards. So I had been looking for something for a while that could offer some sort of anti anxiety properties. And so far, my kava journey has been nothing but positive. You can go here and buy thirty two ounce growlers for thirty three dollars. It's a very positive vibe environment as well. And I appreciate the staff, does that work there.“

“Great coffee quality, and super creative specials. Don’t hesitate to try something new; the banana milk and grnd season lattes were both absolutely killer, and a really cool homage to the owners’ roots. The owner is super sweet and this space is really cozy!! Go check it out!!“

“It’s like partying in a cool friends backyard! Eclectic and jus super fun!“

“Just a really nice, quiet place to do some casual hanging out. The bartender is great and the owner seems to always be on the spot making sue his guests are well taken care of and happy. If your looking for a nice quiet spot to have a good conversation over drinks or maybe hang with a few friends, I highly recommend Olive or Twist!“

“The service was wonderful the bartender was very very friendly and accommodating for my besties and I when we went on a friends trip for one of their bachelorette party's. It's an absolute vibe and I would absolutely recommend it if you want a chill atmosphere to drink and dance 🥰“

“I really enjoyed my visit here. I’m new to cigars but I felt comfortable, and El Borracho is the best cigar I’ve had so far. I’m glad they have a patio because I wouldn’t be able to sit inside. It was a relaxing experience and I’ll be back.“

“Low Tide Lounge has the kind of laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. The empanadas and nachos were delicious, the micheladas were on point—and best of all, the jukebox and pool table are both free.

What more could you want???“

“great atmosphere and food“

“so much fun. great rooms, can sing all along while requesting songs from my phone, changing lights in the room. they also have the best big soft pretzels with cheese, great staff super friendly and upbeat, the bathrooms are clean and put together creatively... great for groups wanting to sing and have fun.“

“Went to Box Social with my husband for the first time last night. We were staying in a nearby AirBnB and the hosts recommended it. Sweet spot and yummy drinks! Fun menu as well with Pride month theme options. We had forgotten a pair of sunglasses and a map 🤦🏻‍♀️😅 on our table and the server ran down 2 blocks to give them back to us! Super sweet and thoughtful. Thank you!! We plan on returning when we’re back in the neighborhood.“

“I am pissed that the bartender changed the music from the juke box. I wasted $5. Never heard a single because she listened to what she wanted. Third time this has happened. I am not coming back here and keeping my friends from going here after this.“

“Food is always good, bartender almost always good! Sometimes that person bringing out the food has a little bit of extra attitude, not sure why. People that haven't been there before are always aware that you have to go to the bar to order, just a little bit of grace explaining that to people would go a long way!“

“Came here at the suggestion of a local friend as well as traveler friend. Great atmosphere and drinks. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“We love Gresham My Bar! Food is usually pretty good but the best part is Ross the bartender! He’s like a good buddy! Very attentive, quick service, remembers our names…. The best!!“

“Had girls brunch so much fun and very friendly staff…“

“Scout and Kyle really brought the evening to a bright and beautiful finish, their truly exceptional customer service was appreciated and seen by a fellow service industry worker… your food and beverage program is fantastic, I look forward to trying more options and those specials look divine!

Also the Cherry Manhattan with the Tawny Port was a beautiful build, I loved all of the components that made that classic with a subtle twist 👌🎯❤️‍🔥“

“The Limelight is my go to happy hr place! Their menu is fantastic and the food is some of the best happy hour food I have had around town. Their Limelight Harvest Salad is always fresh and filling and adding a little protein makes it a complete meal.
Being a whiskey girl, the cherry infused Maker's Mark Manhattan never disappoints, but beware, one does it's job.
Lastly, I have met some amazing people there (and their dogs) which only adds to each amazing memory created there.“
