    Inside

    Upscale cocktail bar with Taco Bell style copycat foods. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here in a weekend night and it was busy (and got busier later in the night), but I was able to get seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is very dark, high ceilings, but had a good vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's an order at the bar type of place and they'll bring your food/drinks out to you. My friend and I both ordered a fun cocktail and a crunch wrap and gordita. The drinks took a while to come out to us and weren't done properly, so I had to take them back to get fixed. They basically put an ingredient in my friends cocktail that was meant for mine. They quickly remedied the situation. Our food came out. hot and the look of Taco Bell but with a more homemade taste. I also got a potato taco (patatas bravas) and it was really disappointing because it was fries inside of a taco. Would not order that again. We ordered a second round of cocktails and decided that this place was great for cocktails bit mediocre for food. (I grabbed a slice from next door when we left.) Would come again! The drinks are good!

    Crunchwrap

    Loved the Taco Bell inspired menu, my Crunchwrap so a perfect entree for dinner. Huge portion!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun spot to grab drinks after work![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Loved my drink, "Only Fans" which was super refreshing and delicious. I didn't expect the edible glitter but it was a fun addition. Excellent bar snacks (love me a good French fry)

    Caesar chicken taco & Gordita

    Went for food and drinks with a couple friends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was really busy when we arrived, but mellowed out once the dinner crowd dispersed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great tacos & drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice patio area as well. Way more seating outside than in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Green Lotus

    I was acknowledged and welcomed when I arrived. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little spot for amazing cocktails.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very presentable and pretty and tastes even better! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing, I was a bit disappointed was if I wanted to sit out in the patio, ordering drinks at the bar may cause me to lose my seating if I went by myself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food items are shareable but I would come just for the drinks!

    We came for happy hour on a Friday evening and were able to snag a table inside after another couple leaving. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were options outdoors but November jn Oregon is cold!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We mainly wanted to try their taco bell menu but it was largely sold out. I would not recommend the potato taco because it was just french fries in a tortilla. The french fries themselves were waffle and good. The tortillas were not cooked great and thus broke apart instantly. We enjoyed our drinks and would come back to try the taco bell menu items that were sold out.

    What a find for someone not from PDX! While staying at the Jupiter NEXT hotel my wife and I were looking for a classier bar than the typical Burnside dives but didn't want something too expensive. Well, we hit the jackpot with the Dirty Pretty! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe inside was exactly what the name implied, a grungy gorgeous that was so uniquely Portland![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We decided to stop here because the reviews talked about their unofficial Taco Bell menu, and everything was super on point. Taco Bell can eat their damn hearts out, there's no comparison here! The Crunchwrap was a little pricey, but almost double the size of the Taco Bell version and the ingredients were so good that it was more than worth the $15! My wife had a massive bowl of Carnitas nachos as well, so much that there was no way she was able to eat all of it. To top it off, they have these alcoholic "Baja Blast" inspired cocktails that are super tasty, and almost a little dangerous without easy they are to drink! You order at the bar, but your food's delivered to your seat. The staff is super friendly, even when they were slammed they made sure to take a moment to talk to me as soon as I walked up to the bar. Some of the best service I've had in a super busy bar in a long time. The food was so good that my wife and I just had to go back! The second time around we got that awesome drink again, but this time we both tried the XL gordita taco. It's essentially a double-decker taco, with a very crunchy shell wrapped inside of a flower tortilla with some cheese in between. Again, this was a wonderful taco and was quite large. It was well worth the $6.50. Most importantly for me, all of these dishes can be made vegan. They use Beyond Meat for their taco mix and it's quite good, and I'm not sure what exactly they put between the two tortillas for the taco when I asked for it vegan but it was super tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This made a great date spot that will be remembered for a long time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm already dreaming of that Crunchwrap and will definitely stop back in there again next time we're in Portland!

    A 1000x yes. Was taken Here for my bday dinner and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibe is so fun and the food is very good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place inside is small with limited tables and very crowded for a Thursday evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order drinks and food at the bar, and the bartender and other servers were awesome. The food came out relatively quickly for how busy it was- it was hot and all good. We ordered a little of everything and really want to go back already; for drinks, we got the 'Green Lotus' (essentially a matcha espresso martini) one of the best drinks I've ever had, along with the 'Blahaj Blast' (margarita type) that was already premade. Also got the 'Pear Pressure' mocktail and it was different than usual- all presentations were very pretty. For food, we got the XL Gordita crunch, spicy papas, crunch wrap, queso cheese burger, crunch wrap and jalapeño popper Mac n cheese bites. We shared everything to get a taste of the menu- everything was super delicious. The queso burger was so juicy, and the poppers weren't spicy as it sounds. Though, we were too full for the crunch wrap, but took it home and enjoyed it for a late night munchie treat. Parking can be a bit tight as it's street parking with a lot going on all around.

    I only came for the food, and the food itself is worth the price of admission. I'm sure people come for the food and stay for the drinks with this spot. I only had the tacos. They took an outrageous amount of time to come out but they were really really good. The menu is pretty neat. If you're looking for yummy bites while you drink fancy stuff then this is a fit for you. If you are just in it for the food, there are other places better suited for your needs. (4.3 Stars)

    XL Gordita and Fried Chicken Taco + Jugs not Drugs drink

    Loved it all!! The food was amazing and came out quick which was appreciated after a long travel day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes were lovely - chill, laid back, casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu had something for everyone. I ended up taking my coworkers back a few nights later because I enjoyed it so much.

    Only Fans - $14 - it was good but I feel like it could use some finish or ornamentation!

    It's a pretty neat little bar that offers a good selection of tequila and Mezcal spirits. They also have other spirits to choose from. The place has a nice chill and relaxing atmosphere to it. We ordered a couple of drinks - Green Lotus and Burnside Bully. Both of the drinks were excellent. I did really enjoy the Green Lotus - vodka, coconut, pandan, coffee, sesame, and matcha. We also did the spoon the wheel for a random $7 shot. We landed on the mystery tequila and Baja blast shots. The Baja blast did remind me of the drink. We also ordered the funnel cake fries, which I highly recommend. Overall, it was a great time with some delicious drinks.

    Drinks, service, and food were great. This is a great spot to snack and have a cocktail. I'm looking forward to another opportunity to come back and try more items.

    Charming wine bar on NW Raleigh right off NW 23rd. The stone exterior is adorned with greenery and…read morepurple party lights with lots of bistro tables and chairs for nice weather. Inside is dark and cozy, perfect for a rainy afternoon or evening. My only complaint is there is a lot of wood and all the hard surfaces don't reflect noise so it's sometimes challenging to hear. They have a wonderful assortment of wines and not all local. For me, that's a good thing. Yes I love a Willamette Valley Pinot or a Washington Cabernet, but I get a lot of those when I'm visiting these areas, which I do frequently. At Muse you can enjoy a red from France, Spain, Italy, as well as local. Lots of whites and some bubbles, too. You can do a tasting of three half glass pours of your choice, or order a glass. Some nights they have tastings that they have preselected. Last night, based on Alex's recommendation, after telling him my preferences, I had the 2021 Crozes-Hermitage from Paris. It was a bigger red, but so smooth. Next I went with the Rioja Gran Reserva which was more fruit forward. Another winner. Their cheese and jam plates are fabulous, the cheese especially delicious, and pair perfectly with the wines. Have a feeling I'll be back frequently to this charming neighborhood wine since my friend works out next door, so it's a perfect meeting spot.

It's a small spot with dim lighting and huge windows, for those of us who like to watch the world pass over a bold red. If you're looking for a place to go to feel slightly mysterious and you'd like to be the most interesting person in the world for an hour or so, this is the place to go! Amazing recommendations from the staff, as well. They know their wines! Just describe your favorite taste or feeling. No need to know wine lingo for them to know exactly what you want.
