“Crows Nest Deli & Lounge is a great place to go at the end of a long day or for any day really. The atmosphere is great with a great jukebox, a large flat screen TV (cable), full lottery (including 3 Video Poker machines), full bar and a great and friendly owner. They also have live music on the last Friday of every month, which really packs the lounge, with outside covered seating and a pool table to boot. The food and service are both exceptional. I highly recommend visiting the Crows Nest Deli & Lounge.“
“They serve such great food here, with the beans, rice, and chips coming out really well, and they figured out how to not over cook their meat and seafood too. They do emphasize the dairy a bit more than others, but I got around that by enjoying their wonderful mole’ chicken. Great for people with a wheelchairs too, with wide areas to get through, no steps whatsoever.“
“The best pizza I’ve had, and I eat pizza a lot. We had the pepperoni and the garlic arugula pizza and my friend and I kept just saying how good it was. It’s the kind of pizza you feel like you should keep talking about but you come up short everytime you try.“
“Han Oak comes with high praise and I had really high expectations about dinner.Banchan - the OTA beancurd dish was great, simply because the beancurd was just outstanding. Tastes like a creamy soy burrata - just makes me wanna go to OTA tomorrow! Appreciate that they did a simple chilli-vinegar dressing on it. Just let the star ingredient shine!The kimchi was a little underwhelming. Not much balance of heat, salt and acid… just alot of acid. I wonder if it would fare better with longer fermentation.The corned beef soo yuk is awesome - I can see the chef’s brilliance here. Great interpretation of a traditional dish. The thinly sliced fatty beef goes great with sliced veg. Great texture and flavour. The yuzu packs a punch and makes the corned beef work so well here… while not overwhelming the broth, which is just awesome - save it so you can have it with the rice later. This dish is 5star!Perhaps the gimbap is just not a dish that allows the chef to show his/her finesse and skill. Beef and pork were cooked and seasoned nicely tho the rest of the ingredients basically needed no cooking - a basic pickle, saute or served fresh.Personally, I feel a gimbap tastes way better in a roll cos the mouthfeel of a well packed roll - when you bite into the various flavours and the texture/ crunch just bursts in your mouth - is simply lost when deconstructed.Bingsu - it’s pretty standard fare tho here’s a suggestion… this would be way better if the pineapple and mango toppings were on top - as they usually are. Not hidden at the bottom.I thk it was gojucharu sprinkled on top - that does nothing for bingsu on its own. Well… maybe if there was more condensed milk, that could work. But chilli powder on ice? Hmm.Tho when you dig down to the fruity flavours at the bottom, then you can tell why the combi works. A clever twist on mango with spice but lost in the order of presentation.Tip - dig in quickly without toppling the bingu mountain! Small tweak that would hugely improve the experience.Maybe the chef was trying to turn the bingsu on its head creatively.. but I thk the usual way fares better.Good service with chirpy staff. May come back when they have a different menu and would recommend you to consider that.“
“I love this place thru & thru! If you haven't been, do yourself a favor. So chilled, with a poetic and tepid groovy vibe, this spot is hotter than lukewarm. All the puns not intended actually. It's just a well designed little place to enjoy attendant service, tiny or not so tiny dishes of luxury, and a balanced ambiance erring on the side of elegance. Come. You won't regret it.“
“What a gem! We don't eat vegan exclusively but have egg and dairy allergies so getting burgers with cheese and ranch and shakes was awesome! The buddy stix (mozzarella) were not bad but the Paddy's Melt and Newport Nightmare were both great and the Smashed to pieces shake was so good we came back another time just for more shakes! This place is located inside Swan Dive and did not have a sign outside (as they moved recently to the kitchen inside).“
“If you are looking for excellent food and outstanding service, Mother’s is the place to go. I was visiting Portland this weekend and enjoyed the breakfast on Saturday so much that we went back before my flight home today (Sunday). Yesterday, Nick managed tricky orders with our larger group really well and was super friendly. Today, Emily went out of her way to provide excellent service and spread sunshine and kindness. On the food front, the French toast coated in corn flakes was delicious, and the cooks did a great job making crispy bacon that was not burnt. The friend I was visiting loved the tofu dish he had yesterday and also really enjoyed his oatmeal and bananas today. Our other friends were also very happy with their dishes yesterday….The place has a great vibe. I look forward to heading to Mother’s again on my next trip to Portland!“
“Phenomenal cocktails, delicious food, and delightful service! We come to this place regularly thanks to their fun and extensive drink menu (the Golden Friendship might be my fave, but they also have great "0 proof" mocktails), Asian-fusion menu (the pork katsu sando is amazing and can be split), and the 3 guys who run it. The place has a low-key cool nerd vibe thanks to the cocktail names and light decor. They frequently have trivia and drink & draw nights, which are fun.Vegetarian options: It's easy to substitute tofu as a protein, and there are several vegetarian items on the menu.Dietary restrictions: If you are cutting back on alcohol, they have several mocktails that won't leave you missing booze.“
“We had a Rubin panini is special in honor of St Patricks day. Yummy. They also have special cocktails and a wide selection of beer including Guinness. Service was friendly and attentive. Since this is a bar, no kids are allowed. Happy hour is 2-6pm.“
“It’s a fun tiki bar in Portland known for its tropical vibe and creative cocktails. With Polynesian-inspired decor and festive drinks served in tiki mugs, it's a popular spot to relax and enjoy a taste of island life.For a first timer it was great! You will not want to leave“

“Tomorrow's Verse is one of our favorite Portland establishments. The beer selection is top notch, the space is open and inviting, and the staff is always welcoming. They offer savory hand pies and permit outside food too--there is a wealth of excellent food options all along NE Fremont. Additionally, Tomorrow's Verse has a patio area--it became our living room during the height of the pandemic. If you're into live music, Tomorrow's Verse frequently hosts bands and streaming concerts. I cannot recommend Tomorrow's Verse enough.“
“Went here for the first time on Tuesday. Great spot for beer in a charming old house! The staff was very nice and I could tell they take a lot of pride in the beautiful space they've created.And Erica's Soul Food cart on the back patio was Delicious!“
“Staff was so nice!! Barely any pictures of food so we didn’t think they sold food but their menu is amazing. I had the steak sandwich which was very tender and my boyfriend had the burger. It was super delicious!! And once again the staff is so friendly!“
“With so many locations with their own vibe, this was a pleasant departure. Some high tops and regular seating, but the whole place is a mash up of liquor store, bar and we'll appointed gift shop. Has a light and casual vibe that is great for a quick drop in. Cocktail selection is limited, but the options to select and pour from sale stock is exceptional.“
“This place is delightful! I've been in twice and both visits were wonderful. The staff are super nice, the cocktails are extremely good, and the food is amazing. We had a tofu "chicken" sandwich and a veggie corn dog; both were so tasty I wished I was hungry enough to order more. The prices for them were also very acceptable. My only note would be that it fills to standing room sometimes in the evenings so I recommend coming in earlier if you want to be able to get a table or a space at the bar.Vegetarian options: They do have some vegetarian options and they're quite good! They have a chicken sandwich with a free tofu substitution, a Field Roast veggie corn dog, a fancy grilled cheese, and a shrimp and grits with a squash substitution.“
“We have been dining at Gilda’s for 6 months. Thank you to our friends Linda and Paul for introducing us to this wonderful restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. It is a family owned restaurant and the pride of the naturally sourced ingredients is very evident. Everything is made in house. The service is exemplary! Go, you won’t be sorry!“
“The bar/restaurant is one of the best experiences Portland has to offer. The drinks are fun and tasty. The food menu might be limited but it is absolutely amazing. Every item on the menu is bold, real and will blow your mind. A true gem! The birria takes the crown!“
“I went with my family during Happy Hour and the food was delicious.For starters we ordered some ricotta cheese crostinis that were delicious and a "small" salad which was more than enough for 3 people.The pizza was a delight but the best thing was to accompany it with a delicious sangria.I highly recommend this place.“
“Truly my favorite bar, I've been coming here for a couple years and the owner Sarah always says hi. The food is delicious, the drinks are awesome, the ambiance is intimate and chill. My favorite thing is to come here and get a glass of wine and the slab bread with French butter and read my book. It's just the best!!!“
“Brought my son here on his 13th birthday and we had so much fun! It was super relaxed but also so spacious and clean. We were able to throw for an hour for less than I payed for 30 mins at another place previously. Definitely worth the drive from Portland!!!!Kid-friendliness: The staff was welcoming and patient in showing my son how to throw and not making him feel micromanaged. He enjoyed the knives and throwing stars so much too!“
“DING DONG we have a five star Champion! Cozy, stylish hotel bar with welcoming staff and delicious cocktails. Carmen, the bartender greeted us with a friendly smile every night during our extended stay. Coming back after dinner and enjoy a night-cap at the Driftwood made our day(s). The hotel itself is nice, but this cozy bar is the cherry on top! Thank you for your hospitality“
“I absolutely love the decor of The Slide Inn, it really feels like I have stepped into an entire different country when i walk in. The food AND drinks are always a win, and they have great vegan and gluten free offerings, as well! The pita and hummus plate is the best I've ever had. ?Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten-free“
“Terrific experience! My boyfriend has been here twice and couldn't wait to bring me. We live in the neighborhood and couldn't believe we hadn't found this place sooner. We were impressed by the presentation of our drinks, appetizers, and entrees. We also enjoyed the best crab ragoons we've ever had (ordered 2 more to-go). Everything about the restaurant was clearly well thought-out. From the dining area to the bar to the bathroom, it is well-designed and extremely clean. To top it off, the owner of restaurant was super friendly and took time to chat with us. We are already making plans to bring our friends next week. Love this place!“
“Soooooo glad we decided to check this place out! We went in a group of three and did two of the Succulent Pots and a leather Flask Holder! Super impressed with the quality of all the tools, variety of craft options, the two FREE drink tickets per person, and the helpfulness and knowledge of Molly who had allllll the tips and tricks for us when we (I mostly) needed support! Will definitely be returning- ambiance was great, playlist seemed catered just to us, and everyone was so friendly! Really recommend planning like fifteen minutes to find parking lol unless you’re really lucky!“
“Food was lovely, pasta had a perfect portion size if you’re just in the middle of being hungry and not. Service was good, just took a little long because it was a friday night. Atmosphere was not the best, there was a rowdy table behind my family that just put off out our whole vibe for the night and was very overwhelming for being outside around a lot of other people. (if you easily get overstimulated I suggest eating inside) Totally not the restraints fault, just an unlucky role of the dice“
“Great place to get a drink, popcorn and hummus are awesome. Reasonable prices. I don’t love the new furnishings in the back room. Seating is really high and hard to move around to accommodate people getting up etc. I liked the old set up better.“
“My partner and I come here every now and again, the server Tia is always so friendly and patient with us while figuring out our drinks and the comedy shows on Thursday nights are hands down the best and most well curated “underground” comedy in Portland. 10/10 would recommend if looking for a great taproom.“
“Amazing place!! So much fun!! Free play all day for $12!!! Delicious and unique food choices at reasonable prices and an incredible nostalgic and hip vibe. Can't believe I waited so long to come back. Won't make that mistake again! $100 spent gets you $10 off next visit. 5 × $100 gets you VIP status. Can't wait to achieve! Another outstanding business NE Portland can be proud of!“
“There’s something for everyone here! You can bring a group and there’s a cuisine to satisfy every and any person!The craft cocktails are fresh and seasonal and there are 25 taps of local and award winning beers from sours to stouts, IPAs to lagers.The newer open space is incredible and has such a comfortable and welcoming feel!Cartside is one of the best hidden gems in Portland“
“The cocktails and food are definitely worth the journey, but it’s the atmosphere and attention to detail that make Bellwether shine. Has the feel of a French-inspired saloon at the turn of the last century,or something straight out of Paris itself.“
“The tacos are really tasty (though I have only had the al pastor and chicken), I imagine the others are good as well. The Keto tacos are unique being a fired cheese shell, and are really good. The guacumole is chucky and plentiful both on the side or with their tasty nachos. The Mexican fried rice is a combination Spanish rice and Asian fried rice, very different and good. The burrito takes 2 hands to hold, it is big, also flavorful. I highly recommend eating here, I do at least once a week. The owners are also really nice people!“
“Went here on a Tuesday night and I'm super glad because it is fairly small. Thankfully not a lot of people came out at happy hour time for cocktails so there were only four other sets of folks in there with us. The noise level was perfect for me who is struggling with some minor hearing loss due to my 40 years of living. I like very simple drinks so I ordered an Old Fashioned. It was delicious. And they use Old Forester as their "well bourbon." I love Old Forester. Our server/bartender (doing both jobs) was very nice. He was patient with us. He also wanted to make sure I knew that the Brie was covered in a puff pastry since I said I needed cucumbers instead of bread. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance so there's not a ton of the menu I can eat. That's fine. I went for the booze. All in all it was a good experience. It's definitely not a place I would go on a Friday night. But I will definitely go back during the week. (I don't like bumping elbows with strangers. I'm too old for that crap.) I say if you like premium cocktails, you should totally try it.“
“Love how cozy this bar is! Dim lights and vibezzz. To eat I ordered "Trivia tots" and they were great! To drink, I got the spicy margarita and an IPA. Super cozy, hip atmosphere both upstairs and down. My friend and I hung out at the bar since trivia was going on upstairs and we just wanted to chit chat. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area looking for a quick stopover!“
“Great atmosphere, great service. We had great bartenders. Great food.Vegetarian options: A good selection of vegetarian and vegan options.Dietary restrictions: gluten free optionsParking: a few parking spots in the parking lot, several spaces that are close on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: wheelchair ramp, designated parking, tables available for wheelchairs.“
“What an amazing night we had! We were celebrating our 26th Wedding Anniversary and everyone of the staff went out of their way to make sure it was the best night possible for us and all wishing us a Happy 26th Anniversay. The food was excellent, the care of professionalism was the best bar none. We will be back!Our gratitude to Mark our waiter and the entire staff, please don't forget to thank them all for us, even our car attendant was kind and courteous.I can't say Thank you to each and everyone for such a delightful night and a memory we will hold in our hearts and minds for the rest of our lives. And also to the gracious lady at the next table who paid for part of our dinner. We feel truly blessed.“
“Absolutely loved dining here before our concert at crystal ballroom. With the venue right around the corner it was a great spot to sit at the bar get cocktails and have a REALLY yummy dinner. I highly recommend the fried Brussel sprouts (they are gf) and the steak salad was also yummy ! Can’t wait to come “
“I love this spot for a quick and affordable lunch! Their ranch salad is such a great deal, $5.50 for a sizable salad packed with bacon, blue cheese, veggies, and a deviled egg on top. Tried their Sandwich Week special today, the Banh Mi Patty Melt, super tasty! The tots/fry sauce are also excellent.“
“I had dinner there tonight and left happy. I kept it simple with their spaghetti and meatballs and the dish was phenomenal. Great service and atmosphere, along with really great food. I look forward to going back and exploring their menu more.“
“10/10 classiest bar in Foster. Come for the slushies, stay for the adult lunchablesDietary restrictions: I’m unfortunately lactose intolerant, but they have plenty of delicious options where I actually forget for a moment that I miss the taste of cheese“
“Great setup with the various food vendors that are part of the building. Lots of different styles of beer and the server was friendly. The Timbers were on TV and this seems like a fun place to watch a game but we couldn’t stick around. Would like to come back in the summer and enjoy the covered patio.“
“The drinks and atmosphere was great. The poutine was just okay compared to the real deal in Canada. The charcuterie plate we got had a lot of meat and cheese but the bread left something to be desired. The plate could have benefited from some fruit as well. Otherwise great time overall.“
“My favorite neighborhood bar! Really great selection of beers, cider, and wine – not to mention all of the beverages you can snag in the fridge if you're on-the-go. Super nice staff, really accommodating, mellow vibe, and overall just great ambiance. Give this spot a shot!“
“I’m elated that this bar is under new ownership, I spent NYE here and it was a blast! I went back for my birthday. Entertainment is excellent-drag and burlesque shows, bands and comedy too. I’ve had a wonderful time every time! OH and the bar tenders are really incredibly nice and accommodating. Can’t recommend enough!!“
“The wood fire pizza was delicious- charred with a flavorful sauce. My family tried five different cocktails and every single one was a unique and masterful concoction. Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: They were really accommodating to all dietary requests, and many options are on their menu for vegetarians.“
“Excellent spot for drinks and beers. Nice outside patio with umbrellas and tables. The interior is charming and reminiscent of a Parisian Cafe. Friendly service and food available from The Baghdad Theater. 3 stars for the food which I consider very expensive for simple fare.“
“Pretty new business, but really great atmosphere and environment. Always end up finding myself in some good conversation. Some pretty creative DJs come along too. All sorts of stuff... soul, jazz, underground hip hop, 80s, house, techno, mushroom jazz, disco, italio, punk, new wave... tacos are pretty good, great meatless options available too. And best part... icee machine cocktail drinks in the summer-time! Lots of beautiful plants too.“
“First time at Birdie Time; it was a hoot! Couples, friends, families and grandparents with grandchildren all having the best time; everyone was having a wonderful time. Yes, 9-holes were terrific; I saw a 7 year old make a hole in one. The crowd cheered!♡“
“Surprisingly very cozy inside and spacious while keeping it intimate. Aesthetics were really curated you can tell with the quality of craftsmanship for the bar, tables, chairs and a beautiful wall library with couch like seats! Not to mention the magical courtyard perfectly shaded. Fabian was warm and fun;)“
“Everything it has a cozy feeling. I love the decor. Also our waiter was very nice and friendly. I don’t live in Portland, but when I visit again I will definitely come back. My dinner was delicious. My daughter who lives in Portland suggested this restaurant.“
“We so love The Underground. The steaks are as good as the Ringside's and the sides are better. And they usually have good jazz; the last two times Tom Grant played. Service too is excellent: prompt and knowledgeable servers. It's just great. Close to ClackMa Town Center.“
