For one, their food menu for a place in Portland was quite lacking. In Portland where it's very easy to get great bar eats, I was disappointed to see goldfish and cheese platter amongst the only food they serve. The drink selection seemed small (if the goal is they specialize in drinks and not food). My drink was tasty but quite small. I love the mural, and the ambiance is great. I think there's just a few things about the bar that make you go "hmm".

Not a fan of the jalapeño grits because the heat built up and I would like to have some bread to help cut the heat. Our absolute favorite was udon dish. Another dish where I wish I had bread too scoop up all the sauce. The Tonkasu sandwiches were way better than the place at Bridgeport. The beef check melted in our mouth - another dish. I wish I had rice with. Moral of the story, need carbs to make the meal better Beautiful ambience. Amazing service. We dropped the chopstick and they got us a new one before we asked. Was surprised they didn't give us new plates unless asked because mine was covered in all the different sauces and I didn't wanna mix the wasabi dressing with other dishes.

Food: 4/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 This is a very cute spot for a nice girls dinner or date night. I brought my kid and it was ok but probably won't recommend it. I liked everything off the raw menu besides the mushroom handroll because the salt level was at about 300%. My fave was probably the yellowtail crudo. The raw stuff came out fairly quickly then we waited a very long time for the cooked entrees to come out. There was at least a 20 minute hiatus, which I did not appreciate. The server checked on us a couple times during the wait but it's just kind of awkward when the wait is that long. I was really looking forward to the duck duck rice because pictures on Yelp made it look like a crispy rice, if it was in fact, not. The udon was our absolute favorite. The snapper was also delicious but it came very late. The alcatra was just ok, I actually couldn't take much of the tomato flavor in it.

Special night out with my parents and they wanted fancy old fashioned cocktails and a quiet place…read moreto sip them. We were so lucky to find Teardrop Cocktail Lounge. The front patio was a nice place to enjoy golden hour and our service was exceptional. My dad got a brandy alexander, mom got a piña colada on the rocks and later a pink lady, and I got something like a Negroni (they make Negronis but I asked the server to choose something interesting and the result was absolutely splendid). Cheers to the professionals who helped make our visit even more special.

To speak about Teardrop Lounge, I should probably start with this:…read more Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite cocktail bar. Not the best -- I'm not arrogant enough to claim that. I haven't been to every cocktail bar in Portland, and saying something is the best usually says more about your lack of experience than your conviction. But favorite? That I can stand behind. And I want to get that out of the way early, because of the amount of praise I'm about to pour on this place -- fully earned, completely intentional. The biggest crime here is that I only discovered it two weeks ago, after living in Portland for a year. It had been recommended to me countless times, and I ignored it. A mistake. A painful one. But now that I've found it, I don't plan on making that mistake again. I'm not typically an Old Fashioned drinker. In fact, I usually hate them. But somewhere between curiosity and too many episodes of Mad Men, I decided to try one anyway -- fully expecting to confirm my bias. Instead, it completely flipped me. Bright, almost citrus-forward in a way that felt unusual but entirely intentional. Balanced, smooth, just enough burn to remind you what you're drinking without overwhelming it. It was the first time I actually understood the appeal. I'm pretty sure I grew a few chest hairs that night. That alone would've been impressive. But it didn't stop there. The space is beautiful -- clean, intentional, but not cold. The staff are excellent: personable, engaged, and most importantly, authentic. Not scripted, not performative. The kind of people you actually want to talk to, and hopefully, eventually be on a first-name basis with. Now, all of that gets it close to a perfect score. But what pushes it over the edge -- what makes this place stick -- is the White Russian. One of the first drinks I ever had. My dad's drink. Not because of The Big Lebowski -- that came later -- but because it's just always been his thing. And at some point, it became mine too. Typically, when bars try to "elevate" a White Russian, they ruin it. They overthink it. Swap ingredients, tweak ratios, add unnecessary flair. And more often than not, it ends in disappointment. Teardrop does the opposite. They respect it -- but refine it. The coffee liqueur actually tastes like coffee. The heavy cream is properly integrated, not just dumped on top. The vodka -- whatever they're using -- is clean, present, and perfectly measured. There's a subtle complexity to it without losing what makes the drink what it is. It's the best White Russian I've ever had. No hesitation. I've gone back twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. If someone asked me what my death row drink would be -- this specific cocktail, from this specific bar, is in the conversation. Easily. Teardrop Lounge doesn't just make great cocktails. It reminds you why cocktails matter in the first place. And that's why it's my favorite.

I came for a weekday lunch and for myself, I was able to grab a seat at the counter and there were…read morequite a few seats available. I got the white curry with burnt ends, and it was delicious. The curry is not thin but not as thick as I expected. This is a very salty dish though and I found myself eating most of the rice which I don't normally do. I found myself wishing there were more cauliflower to offset the salt. Will come back to try the other curry / bbq dishes. My friend did say that the fried rice was too rich for him which I can imagine.

She then shared they had some issues that day with the smokiness and was going to make sure the manager knew this happened and comped her meal! I was so impressed with her service. They had some fun drinks that looked tasty so I'll have to return to check those out.

I definitely want to come back and make some photo content the place is so unique and fun to look at. When we were ready to order, we walked up to the bar. I forgot what burger it was, but had faithful in the name ordered our drinks. They made our drinks right then in there and we sat down with a number on our table. Although it was a slower day that food came out so quick and it was hot, you can tell it was made of fresh to order. The burger tasted very charbroiled. Also enjoyed that the fries had a lot of seasonings. I'm a girl who loves ketchup and I was able to eat these fries dry. Very tasty meal!
