They have a great wine selection, we always order their crisp orange wine, and a menu of small bites that pair perfectly with whatever you're sippin. If you're going, definitely order their oysters to share, the creme brulee for sweets and the lobster roll! The atmosphere is cozy, stylish, and very intimate.

Pacific Standard has quietly become my favorite happy hour spot, and I've only ever rolled through…read moreduring happy hour, so take this for what it is. They make the best dirty martini in town. Properly cold, properly briny, balanced in a way that a lot of places get wrong. And you have to get the blue cheese olives with them, that pairing is the whole reason I keep coming back. The happy hour food is no afterthought either. The plates are genuinely great, the kind of thing you'd happily order at full price, and they go perfectly with a cold martini. Easy to make a whole evening out of it without thinking too hard about it. The room is a big part of the draw too. Tons of places to sit, comfortable and lived in, and welcoming in a way that makes you want to settle in and stay a while. Never feels like they're rushing you out, even when it's busy. Best dirty martini in Portland, killer happy hour, comfortable room. Highly recommend.

We came right around 3 during Portland Sandwich Week and it filled up right away. The space is…read moresuper cute with tons of windows lining the wall and it was one of those odd sunny spring-winter afternoons so it was gorgeous. We ordered at the bar and got a number for the food. We both had drinks on tap - the cynar spritz and the dark and stormy. Decent, though the dark and stormy was extra sweet and really benefited from letting the ice melt. The cauliflower plate -green cauliflower on a bed of tasty sauce with wheat berries for texture - was amazing. 5/5 The sandwich week sando were underwhelming with very little crab and tons of spicy butter on basically a hot dog bun. I get that they are working with constraints but a better smaller sandwich would have made me happier even if they sold it as a slider instead. The bun to meat ratio was to totally off. Service was alright. The table was a bit sticky. It was busy. Understandably, things took time. I'd give this place another shot because the cauliflower was so good so I do think the food has promise and the space is nice.

I only happened to know of this place through advertising at a nearby movie theater, so after the…read moremovie we were wanting to go get a drink and check it out. Parking was difficult as it was all street parking and we were unable to find any spots that felt safe within a few blocks so we parked in a parking garage and walked a few blocks. The bar is cute and tiny with energetic music playing and friendly bartenders. It is a bit hard to carry a conversation here so you really have to be in close quarters with the other person. The drink menu has many awesome rum drink choices and they do have a 4-7 pm weekday happy hour. Drink prices are on par with other bars that serve cocktails and on average about $15. They have food and snacks, which I did not get but looked like a decent option. They also have a small outside seating area. It was a great vibe and I notice a wide age group there. I asked the bartender how long they've been around and they said 15 years. I can't believe I haven't been here before. That do charge a 3% credit card fee so cash is king. I would definitely like to come back and try some of their other rum drinks. It does feel like they might be a little too heavy handed in the ice but the drinks are delicious and you can taste the rum in a good way.

Great seating options inside, outside in the front and outside on the side with a fireplace. Garage door type of window on the side, so you can sit at the bar top and still be outside! I tried to take pictures of the outside and inside but didn't want to spook people by taking pictures of them lol. There's also a smoking section with ashtrays right in the front! I came on a Thursday at 5:30pm, street parking, but plenty, and the place wasn't busy, but there were a couple handfuls of people inside, and of all ages!

Fantastic wallpaper that has the feeling of William Morris gone wild or jungle. Black and white film noir with Gene Kelly and other is playing on the screen and there is a black-and-white ink drawing of a recognizable actor in the corner complete with candles lit in vigil. We all had cocktails, mine was a chilled bar martini dirty with extra olives. And they really understood the assignment with the olives. Between us we had a dozen and a half Shigoku oysters from Washington state. And fresh grated horseradish was a bonus alongside the mignonette. The table favorite after the oysters were the deviled eggs. You have to try the truffle popcorn with the fluffy freshly grated Parmesan. That will disappear quickly. The service was attentive throughout our two hour visit. Matthew checked in regularly without being overly solicitous. Looking forward to returning again. Wonderful outdoor eating area that we didn't take advantage of this time but absolutely plan to.

We visited early on a Thursday afternoon to beat the after-work crowds. Parking is street-only, and there are several businesses sharing those spots, so arriving earlier definitely helps. Our server was very friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. They offer live music and have a great outdoor seating area, though my personal favorite spot is sitting at the bar. I've been coming here for over 20 years, and I fully plan on continuing to visit for the next 20. That alone says a lot. Also, don't skip the Caesar salad with Brussels sprouts -- it's fantastic. Try it... you'll probably find yourself coming back again too.

Portions were great as well as the herb platter but I wish I didn't have to ration the broth as there wasn't that much. Prices are a bit high for Vietnamese but probably in line with the location here on Mississippi street.
