What a cool spot! The nachos are amazing! The service was great and it's just a cool vibe.

Modern CHEERS up in this bish. The over 50's get that reference. Never been let down at Hi-Top. Been there over a dozen times. Zoe makes excellent cocktails when you're on the poison or off. Zoe is patient, efficient and friendly at the same time. The pork sliders are delicious and my partner raves about other things on the menu. Love Hi-Top read more

Hi-Top Tavern - Excellent cocktails!! - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

They open at 7:00 a.m., seems early for a bar as we were the only patrons. The breakfast tacos are cheap, but small and average. The chilaquiles are a better option: ample and tasty. Bartender is polite, moderately friendly. Parking isn't an issue. read more

Overpriced drinks and impolite service. Decent atmosphere. I'm sure it's convenient for people nearby and has plenty of space, but it doesn't stand out from other places and will burn a hole in your wallet immediately. read more

Walking in, friendly service. They greet you, the menu options aren't bad. Foods delicious and it's very cute and peaceful, as I went in the afternoon on a weekday. They have a dog friendly patio and tons of drinks. There's also a back dining area. I believe I met a bartender, her name was Zoey. She was very kind. Along with the kitchen staff who seemed to enjoy chatting it up when they can. I had a few kouign amann and sat there, no trouble just hanging out. Ordered a sandwich and called it a day. No fuss. No hovering, just friendly workers who wanna talk story and get to know their customers ! read more

Great bar! Atmosphere is playful and fun. Vibes are abound. That staff is very lovely. Drinks and food slap!

Loved the menu options! My Mediterranean salad was huge and delicious. Order are placed at the bar. Basically you serve yourself. Not sure why I tipped the bartender a full 20%... we had to bus our table as well. But the food is good. Very nice atmosphere. read more

The nachos with pulled pork are excellent, the back patio is the perfect thing on a hot day (it's covered!), and the vibe is older Portland and basically perfect. Servers are nice, food comes reasonably quickly, drinks are good and a good value (try the dealer's choice old fashioned). We can walk there from our house and it's become our default. read more

What an experience. My partner and I walk in and the vibes seemed cool. We look at the menu and lowkey feel rushed from the bartender? It wasn't even busy so it felt weird. I think we spent like $60 there and we fully regret it. I asked a question and the bartender made me feel stupid for asking for clarification on one of the food items (food restriction related question). The nachos were dry and the sandwich was mid. I won't be going back there but i'm sure a lot of people like it and have had good experiences. read more

I feel like giving a place to eat 1 star for giving you food poisoning is similar to giving a park one star because you got shat on by a bird: odds are, it's going to happen from time to time even in the best establishments--hand washing and lettuce washing notwithstanding. So I'll give one star to my food experience which will bring down the otherwise 4 stars I'd give the whole place. For the record, the BLT I ordered was delicious. But then I spent the entire night vomiting every bite of it up. I don't want a BLT for a very long time. I ordered a yummy mocktail also, and my friends' reported their drinks were good. I liked the large size of the patio (wish they had heat lamps though) and the variety of rooms inside the bar. I'd go back. Especially in summer. I just won't order anything to eat. UPDATE: the owners were so kind and apologetic and refunded my dinner. I'll be back in the spring to chill on that patio! read more

Exactly the thing I wanted when I was in Portland a little while back--a neighborhood restaurant/bar with chill vibes and great food. It's not the kind of place you would really know about, but I fired up the app here and it did not disappoint. Parking was a little rough (this is deep neighborhood, but on the main drag) so I ended up a few blocks away. I ordered inside with the bartender, then snagged a spot on the patio. I'm a sucker for both a patio and a Cubano and both of them were delightful, if not unexpected. The week's work had me worn out so I retired early. It's pretty convenient to order and pay first, so I just got to skedaddle and relish in a good Cubano and a nice end to a PDX trip. read more

Hi-Top Tavern - Patio vibes - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been here twice. I ordered the buffalo chicken nachos twice. They served me the pulled pork nachos twice. Not sure what's up with that. One star. read more

We got breakfast and beer on our visit to Portland. Chorizo tacos and the Cubano sandwich were both very good. Espresso drinks and beer also great! read more

Hi-Top Tavern is the place to be as a Beaumont-Wilshire Millennial on a Friday night. I'm a Gen-X'er myself, so I don't have the finances to make a night out at a cocktail bar a carefree experience, but that's not a fair metric to grade an establishment on so a 5-star it is! The drinks were PERFECT, the patio had an amazing vibe to it, and the Bartender was surprisingly speedy given he had a full bar and was virtually alone. Portland is famous for its small watering holes that cater to a local clientele, and Hi-Top Tavern may be the best example of that "Downtown-taste-but-small-neighborhood" feel. Will definitely return on my next trip to Portland. read more

Great food and drinks! The service is fast and friendly. They allow kids until 8pm I believe which is a nice bonus! Highly recommend visiting. read more

Wow, driving by, you might never notice the awesome bar that is Hi-Top Tavern. Toward the upper end of NE Fremont, its storefront is unassuming but through that front door is a colorful, stocked, friendly, neighborhood spot. Full bar with signature cocktails, classier bar food with vegetarian options, and tons of outdoor seating both out front and an an L-shaped back yard. (They're welcoming vaccinated people to sit inside, and asking anyone in-vaccinated to use their outdoor seating.) I personally loved the colorful murals adorning both interior and exterior walls! Gotta come back for some selfies next time. read more

Came in to escape the rain and learned this is one of the few bars open past midnight. We were able to get drinks quite fast. Since it was Cinco de Mayo, Margaritas were a must. The servers were very friendly and the prices were fair. Very surprised by how big the place was compared to what you see from the outside. We settled in to on the back heated patio and watched the last quarter of the basketball game. Best surprise of the night was a curious raccoon that came to visit us several times, I named Ricky. read more

A great local watering hole that has a good outdoor seating that is also welcoming to (well behaved) dogs What We Had (most recent visit) - Fried egg sandwich - pork sliders - RC x2 Pro - Breakfast sandwich for dinner? Yes, please! - Pork sliders were messy but well prepared - Bartenders are friendly and very helpful in food selection Cons: - can get quite crowded at times (it's a bar!) so need to get there early to beat the rush Overall: Will visit again. Food and service have been mostly consistent with minor hiccups. read more

Came here a few more times and really enjoyed the drinks and snacks. Their pork nachos are amazing! It's the cheese that makes it delicious and addicting. I can just pretty much dip anything in that cheese sauce of theirs. The drinks are solid as usual. The service at the bar is pretty quick and the people working are super friendly. read more

Generally love Hi-Top, but has a bit of a rough time this last visit. Friend and husband both ordered meals that included a salad, their food still hadn't come out 30 minutes after the rest of ours. Found out that they were out of lettuce and going to get some? It was a weird experience. That being said, I've been here maybe 5 other times and have had no issues before so I do plan to return- just might ask some more follow up questions next time if food is running late! (Love their egg sandwich enough that I'd put up with just about anything!) read more

This bar (and specifically patio area) is a super cute area to enjoy a drink on a summer day. The nachos, despite being a little bit overpriced in my opinion, were delicious My drink was also very good and nothing like i've ever had before. Dogs are welcome and even encouraged also which I love. Definitely one of my favorite patios in Portland. read more

if you don't own a 4b craftsman's/bungalow in alameda, drive a bmw/audi, or have a labradoodle then don't expect great service. they know their usual clientele and cater to them first. expect to be cut in line and ignored if you don't meet the above criteria. the star is solely for the fact that they serve Montucky read more

Very friendly service! They also have a great menu of affordable snacks and things. The fresh popped popcorn is a great deal because you get a big bowl of it! read more

Understated neighborhood bar with an amazing bourbon and all other liquors collection. Inside and outside spaces. Good joint in two words.

Great bar!! Bartenders all are very friendly and experienced and have been there many years. That has to speak for itself. Food is excellent too. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Fantastic outdoor patio, very spacious. A very cool place to eat and drink. read more

Hi-Top's patio is supremely underrated, especially in good weather. Like all of the Three-on-a-Match bars, I feel like they've really approached COVID-19 safety in a thoughtful way: the QR code / online ordering works well and has even introduced me to some new variants on their traditional offerings (Grilled Cheese with Bacon and a Side Salad is a really good, cheap option). read more

They went out of their way to host our get together of 10 folks outside in their somewhat heated back patio space. Order and pay online with your phone, and it comes out when ready. They make a very nice hot toddy! Everyone in my group said they would be back, or they would like to meet there again. Thanks! read more

I want you know one thing , everything popcorn . It's incredible and a must try . It's completely addictive and a great bar food with your drink . read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and this is already our favorite bar on Fremont. Drinks and drink pairings are great, and the food is very good and not too expensive at all. I particularly really like the all online system the business switched to for ordering drinks. It's super easy to use, and the drinks come out quickly to the table. It's nice to know a this bar cares for its employee and customer safety during Covid 19. I'll be WILL be back soon! read more

Sick little vibe killer beers and booze and the food is amazing! The nachos are a must!

The whole family was raving about the food -- so yummy! The kiddos are usually picky, but everyone was able to find something they liked. Downside, huge waiting lines both to order and to get your food/drinks. Other than that, no complaints. read more

OMG ~ we went to the Fremont fest and walked down the street in the hear with hight temperatures. We noticed this place as there was a line waiting for them to open up. We stood in line and sat on the back patio in the shade. The cubano was excellent, service was quick and the ambience was just what we needed. They staff useless to get food out quickly and the prices were reasonable. read more

I came here excited for a new patio and food after some recommendations from a friend. What we experienced was definitely a new patio and new food - it's just that none of it was very good. Let's start with the patio: In terms of Portland patios, I didn't think this one was anything special. Really close to a main road made for a lot of noise, and not a lot of greenery. So nothing impressive on the patio front. The food was fine, but I wouldn't go back. We had a chopped salad which was the best thing we had, but overdressed. We also had a grilled cheese that was reaaaaaaaaally greasy and a steak sandwich (the steak was overcooked and the rest of the flavors in there just really didn't mesh). They do have good prices on wine and a solid list of drinks so that was cool. But overall I didn't think this was anything too special. read more

First of all...ignore the snooty sub-par reviews on here. If you're the type of person who is looking for a secluded, quiet, meditation-like patio with lush "greenery" then...maybe go to Hawaii?? Hi-Top is a great addition to the neighborhood! If you like Paydirt and Tough Luck then I think you'll be pleased with the vibe at Hi-Top. The food is good. Their Pork Belly Nachos were to. die. for! Same great cocktails as their other locations. Quality beer selection. The patio has an open area with cafe lights and a large undercover area with a hidden bar that will be great to hang out at during the fall and winter months. The noise from Fremont street is minimal. Bring the dog! Have a drink! Eat a snack! Bring a friend! Glad you're in the hood Hi-Top! read more

This is my new favorite neighborhood bar! I've always loved Pay Dirt and Tough Luck, so when I saw that this was a sister bar, I was pretty excited to check it out. It used to be a sad looking bottle shop called Bottles that progressively had less and less inventory every time I showed up. They've since revamped it and now there's plenty of indoor seating, a few TVs for blazer game viewing, a back bar on the patio, and a large dog friendly patio area. All of the workers are super nice and sometimes it gets a little crowded but nothing out of the ordinary. Their happy hour is one of the main reasons I come here so often: Monday-Friday 3-7pm, $5 margarita, Negronis, old fashioned, and Moscow mules. They also have $1 off sandwiches. The food is really good, although I could do without the side of Juanitas chips that comes with the sandwiches. If you're in the area, check this place out because it's a wonderful spot to hang at! read more

Hi-Top has great service-- an attentive staff with smiles and great energy. Decor is fun, and the space is inviting. Beers were delish, didn't have a cocktail myself but they looked good. Food, however, was less than subpar. 14$ for a dry cubano on mediocre bread just won't cut it. The cauliflower app was OK... served warm-ish atop of old greens. If food could step up then it would've all been worth it!!! Will be back for beers, though :) read more
