6 Moonshot Tavern

4.7 Superb 117 Reviews

2725 Southeast Ankeny Street, Portland

“I have had like 5 dishes here and they’re all extremely good. I’ve had like 10 of their cocktails, which are even better. And the food comes out nice and quick, in a casual but often lively environment. Portland these days has way too many bars that are pretending to be restaurants, or restaurants pretending to be bars…basically like places that look like a bar but entrees are $20 and, while delicious, take like an hour to get to you. Somehow though, Moonshot has sit-down restaurant quality food, at a reasonable price, and they get the food out to you at bar speed. It’s amazing. I love this place.”
