And they should be closed. They don't let ESA animals in and they got all that open air space upstairs. They failed from the start. Beat it.

Was recommended to this bar by my friend who lives here during our stay, and we absolutely loved it. We happen to come on a really nice night this summer and went immediately to the terrace bar on the upstairs patio. The weather was great and we were seated quickly by the staff, who were super friendly and gave us great drink recommendations. I ended up going with the miss Williams, but substituting the vodka for tequila. It was incredible, and such a great ambience to enjoy it.At the same time there was drag bingo going on downstairs, which we could have participated in, but did not at all disturb the chill vibe of the upstairs rooftop. The place was very clean, and I would gladly come back next time I'm here to try some more of their yummy drinks and some food!

Shine on, Shine Distillery & Grill! Why go? Two words: rooftop patio. Basque in the beautiful Oregon weather with a cocktail cup of your choice... Whiskey, Gin, Vodka, Beer, etc., Shine Distillery & Grill has everything to make you shine BRIGHT like Rihanna's diamond. On top of the drinks, they do have food. We decided to try the Idaho Nacho Fries. As a group, we were expecting them to have real shredded cheese instead of a nacho-y cheese sauce. In our opinions, it made the fries get real soggy n' cold real fast. We agreed that we wouldn't order them again, but that they did seem to have other food options available. Our waitress was very easy going, fun and a positive spirit to engage with. She kept telling us they were out of olives for our groups dirty martinis, yet always kept finding the last one to pop into our tini time. She was our #tinisaver ;DIf I was a local, I'd definitely go get my shine on again!

Drag bingo on Wednesday evening was great! Great atmosphere and Nicol is a great bingo caller.

The new waffle fries with the Idaho Nachos are soooooo good. Hope they keep them.As for a meal, the Reuben is great but always get extra thousand island because you can never go wrong with more sauce.

Drag Queen bingo is so fun and entertaining! Check dates, but it's a must. Food is good and drinks are even better. This place is big, energetic and welcoming. Great place for a date when you're not sure if you'll have enough to talk about.

Love this place! Not only are the drinks awesome, the food!!! Did I mention the food? Depending on what night it is there seems to be something going on (on the fun side of things). Very community and neighborhood oriented.

I cannot wait for an opportunity to get back to Shine! The staff was 100% excellent on my visit. As an out-of-towner who was new to the spot, they took the time to explain the menu, the process, and how the drag bingo worked. I was so glad to know all of the things and nobody made us feel dumb for being a newbie. Each person we ran into was the same - thoughtful and helpful for the new kids. We loved the drag bingo - so fun, exciting, and people won! You could tell there were tons of regulars who knew the jokes, but didn't get annoyed with hearing the same antics. I wish I had more time to try more of their specialty drinks with their local liquor, both were awesome with nice fun names and flavors. The hot pretzel was huge and was from a local spot down the street. That made it so much better than a run-of-the-mill frozen pretzel. This is definitely a spot to visit, if you're looking for a fun night.
Wonderful happy hour! Shine provided games to play. They had a great selection of games and each game was in great condition. The owner came to our table many times to check in with us and offered great conversation. I will definitely go back!

I love Shine! I went one time for drag bingo and had the best time! The service was excellent and so were the cocktails. We got a few small plates which were also amazing.There is street parking. Can't wait to go back and sit out on the deck when it's nice out.

My review is well overdue. Shine provided such an important service to our community during the worst part of covid lock downs. While sanitizers were gone nationwide, they provided some good alternatives as well as some incredible Gin and Whiskey. We will be forever grateful and will come back time and time again.

The vibe here is chill, the food is tasty with lots of options and the drinks are amazing. The quality of this distillery produces smooth flavors. There was drag bingo when we were there. It was affordable to play. We sat in the front area and even with the event happening it felt cozy.

I attended The Queens Brunch last weekend and it was a blast. The parking sucks which is normal for the neighborhood. The space is intimate but definitely gives off industrial vibes. I had the 3 egg omelet with home fries and toast. The eggs were good but the home fries were very over seasoned and I wasn't able to finish them. The service was great and the show was too. I'd go back for those things alone.
And they should be closed. They don't let ESA animals in and they got all that open air space upstairs. They failed from the start. Beat it.
