We stopped in after work for dinner, and it ended up being the perfect place to unwind with the girls. It was packed on a Friday night, staff was super friendly and got us seated quickly at the bar area. Looking around, a lot of people were here on a date - which I can see why, this would be such a cute spot for a date too! One of the cutest underrated restaurants in PDX.

What a lovely spot for brunch! My partner and I stopped in here while walking up and down 23rd and…read more21st. The interior is attractive and very modern, and there is a large covered and heated patio if you prefer to sit outside (we did). The service was a little bit slow, but not egregious and the server was very friendly. The menu is not extensive, but it has good variety and everything on it looked excellent. All of their ingredients seem high-quality, and they have a number of gluten-free and vegetarian offerings. I ended up getting the eggs benedict, which came with a little salad. The salad was fresh, not wilted, and came with a light vinaigrette. The eggs benedict was absolutely stellar-- perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, and grilled halloumi to give some well-received brine to the bite, all atop an english muffin. For the price point and the quality, the portions are good. My one wish was that I could have subbed my salad for some of their potatoes! My partner got the pork belly hash, and thought that the potatoes were cooked perfectly-- crispy and well-seasoned. He did notice that there were only a few pieces of pork in the dish, but we chalked this up to the ingredient quality. We ended up staying for Happy Hour, which was fun! We got the fries with garlic aioli (so good!) and I ordered their daily cocktail special, a margarita. They gave me a good, heavy, pour, which is always appreciated. Great brunch spot if you want to go somewhere a little chic.

Apparently people used to take shots and then take a lick off the salt pillars afterward, which is absolutely wild and somehow makes me love this place even more. The drinks are fantastic. The food wasn't memorable, with so many great restaurants nearby, I'd save my appetite and come here afterward for a wittle nightcap.

I went in as a solo person for a first visit... and was mostly impressed. The decor is lively,…read moreservice was above average and the atmosphere was pleasant. This is an area with a lot of competition, so they mostly rise to the occasion. The space itself is modern and clean. The most unique feature is the two salt pillars in the bar area. I was told that I could lick them during/after certain drinks, but elected to pass on that unique invitation. Maybe next time? I ordered the two taco special that came with a fresh beer on tap. The beer was good (as expected) and the taco portion was adequate. However, the food came out at room temperature, so I recommend that the cooks work to find ways to deliver the food items in a way that preserves the temperature prior to having it served. It's possible that this was a one off, but it took away from the experience a bit for me. Parking is an ongoing challenge since it's NW Portland and very few businesses have their own dedicated lot. The drink menu was appealing and their liquor options were impressive. I definitely plan to try again and see if my food experience is a bit more elevated on a second stop. Hopefully I won't be solo next time!

I find it so unbelievable this venue allows events here to blast their music until 10:30pm-11:30pm…read more I live two blocks away and with our windows closed and a movie on, we can STILL hear Brittney spears and the cha cha mf slide every single weekend until all hours of the night. (It's 10:30pm on Sunday and it's blasting through our apt right now, plus all the peoples yelling/partying). There needs to be a noise curfew, or some sort of regulation for the people who rent this space out. It's not fair to the rest of the community and surrounding neighborhoods.

We got married at Castaway in September of 2023 and we LOVED having our wedding here. It was…read moreactually the only venue we toured because we thought it was perfect the moment we saw it. The space is minimal and industrial which is what we liked. The plants provided by the venue bring the space to life so well. Honestly, you need minimal decorations for it to be wedding ready. Having the outdoor space for cocktail hour, food trucks, beer pong, etc. was incredible. We had about 175 guests, so we really enjoyed the flow and space for our guests to get fresh air if needed. The Castaway team was helpful, responsive, and so great to work with! Highly recommend for weddings, events, etc. Thank you Castaway team!

The women's bathroom also had hygiene supplies which I thought was cool. We rented the Billy Frank Jr. conference room and another room on the second floor, and we were able to customize the space to fit our needs. The space we rented comfortably fit around 60 people. Eco Trust has everything you could need and more. Po'Sines is near, there is a Hot Lips Pizza downstairs, and I would highly recommend this space for your next event.

One of my favorite secrets about this building is that it has a beautiful outside terrace overlooking the city. The rooftop space is open to the public during business hours, which makes for a fun lunchtime getaway. There are chairs and tables available, so the space can fill up quickly on a sunny day. There is no need to purchase food from one of the purveyors to utilize the rooftop space, so go ahead and brown bag-it and head up the stairs to enjoy the backdrop of our beautiful city.

Their menu offers wines by the glass as well as some small snacks that seem like they would pair well with wine. My husband and I just ordered a glass of wine each and sat out on the sidewalk. The service was great from all staff we encountered. This place has less selection for bottles than Mac Wine down the street. They do have more snack options though. I'd like to try some of the snacks next time we go here.

Definitely stop by to check them out if you are ever in the area!

It is a great venue with a lot of Porsche history on display and plenty of branded merchandise available to buy. We had lunch and happy hour snacks catered in, and everything was very tasty. The real reason to attend, however, is heading upstairs to the Drivers Lounge; they have four racing sim rigs wired up for some intense heads-up racing! They also have two golf simulators if that's more your jam. I would definitely be back for an event in the future should I get the opportunity; it's a unique and high-energy space for any group gathering.
