The server let me to a mash up version of the sandwich to have havarti on the chicken. The bun is good but a little thick for meat to bread ratio for me. I should have moved both halves of the chicken onto one side of bread I think I would been happier. I did like the tots which are harder to find these days. The salad was just okay. The description sounded better than reality. Seemed like a good locals crowd and two small pool tables in a side room. The music is louder so not the best place for conversation. Did feel like we were almost yelling at times to talk sitting near the jute box.

Great hangout spot! Super chill vibe and drinks and snacks are good!! Would recommend:)read more

I love this bar. I love the atmosphere. I love the drinks. The food is great for bar food, but man,…read morethe service and the bartenders can really be hit or miss in terms of friendliness. It's kind of anxiety inducing to even approach them. There's probably one bartender there that's nice. I really wish that they would hire some better people because it's enough to make me and my friends not go there anymore. And I don't know if the same blonde manager is still there, but she is incredibly rude and unprofessional.

I have no idea if this bar has food - but when we came in a few Friday's ago - at 7 pm - and we…read morewere pretty much the only people there. The bartender said they need better signage but by 8 pm, the place was packed. I think this used to be a doggy day care or doggy spa. It's been open for 3 years and I never knew it was here. Too bad because I have moved from the neighborhood and this would have been a great neighborhood haunt. We just got a few rounds of beers but we stayed quite a while because they have a great vibe and video poker - which the guys in our group could not be torn away from. The decor is neon and chill but not hipster - like the rest of the places on this side of the river. They also have a billiard room. So, basically, there is just about something for everyone. I wish my new neighborhood had a bar like this that was walking distance.

The Sapphire Hotel is no longer a hotel. It was in the early 1900s... And you could say the guests…read moreat that time were a little shady (let's just say some rooms were rented by the hour). The restaurant is what used to be the lobby. It is known for being dimly lit, a little romantic, a little old school. They are open late when not a lot of other places around are, which is how I ended up here after another event. They have happy hour from 4-6pm and then a late night happy hour after 10pm. The building could use some love from its landlord. The toilet was leaking, there's asbestos wrapped pipes visible on the ceiling. We got: Soup du jour House salad Meze platter Kettle chips Spicy chicken sandwich Everything tasted great. I was pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes for the happy hour items. I would definitely keep this in mind for date night or as a late night spot when not much else is open.

TLDR: this is probably the best cocktail bar I have ever been to…read more I used to live a few blocks from here way back when I lived in Portland. Back then, there was an amazing business in here called The Cardinal Room (?). I loved it, they had a romantic cozy ambiance and incredible chicken sandwiches. While the food is gone, the unique, romantic ambience is back and the drinks here are next level. It's a cocktail bar that has amazingly crafted drinks but ZERO pretension about them. In fact, the service here is incredible. Friendly, fun, and frequent. They were very good at just making random creations based solely on flavors you like. But even if you are ordering on-menu, there is something here for everyone and none of the drinks are boring. I plan on coming back here every time I'm in Portland and...I WISH I still lived a couple blocks from here!

The night we came in, it was super packed - limited seats already, but we were able to find a table in 15 mins.

The ambiance is downright whimsical! Great wine selection, gorgeous floral installations, and one of those spaces where you immediately want to settle in with a book in hand. But let's talk about the crudo. I still think about that crudo. Bright, lemony, silky olive oil - simple but done so well. We even asked our waitress if we can keep the leftover olive oil to use it with the bread we ordered lol The oysters were also fantastic. They were barbecued, which isn't something you see every day. A little drier than a raw oyster, but still full of flavor. Limited seating so be sure to call ahead of time for a reservation if need be. This feels like the kind of place you celebrate something special, and honestly, I would not mind spending a birthday here at all! Worth it. btw the alleyway walking up to this place is so charming.

I was just happy for a double Stoli and fresh fruit. I saw beer and wine being drunk and lots of mixed drinks people were happy with. Mine were poured well and priced super fair. The KJ for karaoke was super sweet and it seems like he can get you just about anything though I was late to join my lofty crew so I did one song only. FYI - you put your name with the KJ so he can add you to the queue, be polite and tip a buck or two and watch the screen giving a heads up when you are next. You then tell him what song you want. They have a pretty good sound system though it is set for singing on the stage so you get a lot of the sound when below the stage so it is hard to hear yourself. But, no one cares seriously - have a good time and sing some karaoke. I was joking with some sweet gals in the bathroom. One was debating on trying it for her first time. Best advice I can give you folks who are scared to sing... Chose a favorite - one of those songs people just love and the bar will gladly sing with you - especially later in the evening. Seriously, everyone is just there to have a good time and sure, if you can sing well - that is awesome too! If you want to sing a bunch, definitely go much earlier. I arrive just after 11 and it was probably an hour and a half after I added my name.
