Service was almost nonexistent. Ordered from the QR code on the table and we were not told that their internet doesnt work great so the bar doesnt get drink orders. Food was mid at best. Would not come back. Even if I was staying at the hotel.

I had the strawberry shortcake shake and it was delicious. The fries were also tasty. The person who helped us was absolutely delightful. 10/10 service

Loved this place! We ate here every day when we stayed at Hotel Zags. We had the birria poutine, groovy fries, peace love and wings, bacon me crazy salad, grilled cheese, it’s your bag pizza, pork & harmony pizza, portlandia milkshake, purple haze milkshake, and short-shake milkshake. Everything was absolutely delicious and I would definitely reorder anything we ate. All the dishes were fresh, flavourful, and well prepared. My personal favourites were the groovy fries, grilled cheese, and purple haze milkshake. Everyone working there was friendly and welcoming and gave INCREDIBLE recommendations. Shout out to Arthur who not only makes incredible drinks but would consistently go above and beyond!

Arrived at 9pm for a quick drink and maybe some food. Posted hours say they close at 10pm. Employee says that they’re “closed. It was a bad day.” and then refused to elaborate. Unsure if/when they plan to open again.

We made reservations for seven on the Fourth of July, which turned out to be as necessary as an ashtray on a motorcycle. The place was nearly empty. That's not always a bad omen. Empty can mean peace. It can mean solitude. In this case, it mostly meant the staff had no excuse to be so slow.
The place is pleasant enough. Fire pits flickered in the courtyard like the last stubborn lights of a dying universe. There were a few 80s and 90s arcade games humming their low-tech lullabies near the front. Everything was clean. I appreciate clean. Clean means someone still cares.
I ordered the chicken sandwich. It had pepper-jack cheese from Tillamook, pickled onions that were trying their best, a spinach leaf or two doing a little backstroke in a sun-dried tomato aioli. The sourdough was toasted. The sandwich was perfectly sufficient. The fries were fine in the way that a polite Midwestern conversation is fine.
One of our group has a basil allergy. She ordered the Love & Soul Burger with no basil aioli. It arrived with basil aioli. The server asked if the kitchen could just scrape it off. Scrape it off. As if allergens were emotional wounds or jelly from a kid's sandwich. A refire was requested. The server sighed like we'd just asked him to rewrite the Magna Carta.
Speaking of our server. A man of limited patience and zero visible sense of humor. When someone in our group asked if the mushroom burger had mushrooms, he blinked like a fax machine receiving bad news. She was trying to determine if the patty itself was a mushroom or if there were simply mushrooms on the burger. We found the ludicrousness of the conversation hysterical. He was not interested in the nuance.
Still, he did redeem himself in a small and human way. He suggested we walk a few blocks to see the fireworks from the Hawthorne Bridge. He was right. It was a lovely view. That earns him an extra star. Sometimes kindness is as simple as pointing someone toward a better sky.
In conclusion, PLS on 6th is a decent spot if you are staying at the Hotel Zags and want something close, quiet, and just fine. The prices are reasonable. The food is solid. The service is something else. Whether that something is charming or exasperating depends on how long you've been waiting for your drink.
Stopped in for happy hour. Okay for a hotel bar, but not great. Fairly small menu, and the Groovy Fries (happy hour) simply were not that groovy. Parking is tough too in this area of downtown. I will say that the bar service was really good though. Just not a great atmosphere.

It's a convenient location, but the concept seems like a miss for the area, and the food was not that great, particularly for the prices they charge. Not bad, but not that good either. If you're staying at the hotel, it's covenient. But if you're not, I don't know why you would choose this restaurant over many others downtown.

We stayed there for two nights. The staff is amazing, the room is very clean and pretty, we even rented bikes for free in the lobby (would definitely recommend as Portland is very bike-friendly). Everything is above average except for breakfast - there were only bagels and cereals basically, so on the second day, we had breakfast somewhere else. Luckily, the hotel is in the city center, so there are many great places for brunch nearby. Also, the parking is very expensive at the hotel - 40$ a day, but around the hotel there are many places where you can park almost for free.

The staff are extremely slow, rude and don’t communicate with each other. I was charged for a shake that they didn’t have and was told AFTER I paid. When I mentioned that this happened to the next employee they just shrugged it off. And their shakes are $18!!!??? Not to mention the wait and prices are insane for cheap bar food. Beautiful patio but terrible restaurant.
