    We went around 7pm on a Friday night and the place was full but we still got 2 seats at the bar. Very cool vibe, hip but not trendy. Bartender was very easy to interact with. Not overly attentive, just right. The Says Me cocktail with sesame imbued vodka was really good!! Perfectly sesame-y without being cloying or weird. Lamb gyro delicious (lamb tasty, perfect amount of tzatziki and super soft and fresh pita). Poutine yummy though one point off for not having vinegar available. Chili ok, nothing special. Overall, just love the feel... fun, not crazy loud, mellow but alive. Would definitely go again.

    This place has their own vibe for sure. They have a large bar and then tables at random spots all over. Their food is decent, and their cocktails are very interesting. They have many shot and beer combos. If I'm in the area I'll stop by for a drink and to see if it's busy or not. The service is decent but not overly friendly.

    Fun, hip, Chill bar. Great drinks, funky music - nice people, highly recommended. Close to city downtown attractions

    I really enjoyed the interior of this place, though I chose to sit outside. The handsome bar staff encouraged me to seat myself where I wanted. He also guided me to the right tap beer and AMAZING grilled sandwich. Definitely more than the average bar experience. I can tell the place fills up later, yet I was there early on. Enjoy! And tip your staff!

    This bar has been a staple in my life since moving to Portland. I love the eclectic vibe, from the type writers to the different seating areas to the funky art that you'll find throughout. I relate this bar to my personal style, which is probably part of why i love it here. Every time I'm there I am delighted by finding something new that I'd never noticed before. On top of all that, the drinks are great! I've heard that the food is good as well, and every time I'm there I look at the menu and lament that the kitchen has already closed. It is my new mission to come for a meal here; maybe even try their Sunday brunch! Back to the drinks- there is always a good mix of beer and cocktail options, and some combinations of shots/beer with great names. My go to is the west end mule, which has bourbon, lime, mint and ginger beer!

    LFK you are so bipolar! At night you are a hipster's wet dream, a place where you can get a great craft beer that that so few people have heard of (and then openly hate the crowd the next week when you see other people drinking that beer). The space is pretty large, it was a former bookstore (cunningham books I believe) and open. Funky tables and chairs that do not match and large tables that encourage communal seating. That have a sweet looking bar. I came to LFK with my living social in hand to try their brunch. First started with their rum and juice drink. A good ratio of rum and juice (which was grapefruit-y). It was a large pint glass and very tasty and I was happy that it was not too sweet as some morning drinks can be. I then had a their house made hash. WARNING! This hash could be better than Hot Suppa's! (Looks over my back to make sure I am not being attacked by an angry mob) I know what I am saying is crazy talk but look at the picture that is attached. Large tender cooked potatoes, trio of onions and colorful peppers, a corn beef hash that has been soaking in a brine. A perfectly poached egg sitting on top so that when you poke it open that bright yellow yolk drips down and covers the hash. And just to make sure you are full two large slices of Rosemont's bread thick cut to wipe up everything that is left over. They offer this in a small or large size. I got the small and it was a perfect portion size. I felt very full afterwards. Girlfriend ordered the french toast. Granted this is a person that never eats french toast because of soggy factor, she thought this was one of the best. Two very large pieces of bread that had been cooked great and went light on the egg wash as bread still had some crunch in it versus the soggy stuff you see so often. The service at first was great. I would assume that it was because we were the only people in there at 11:00 AM. It started to pick up after about and hour and took awhile to get our check but I think they only had one waiter working. LFK has some great food. They have a small menu but that makes it better as they work on making a few things great versus a large out of control menu. Continue to wait in lines for Hot Suppa or Local 188 (great places not hating on them) But if you want to sit down and have breakfast walk around the corner on Congress Street and LFK is there.

    This review is based solely on the drinks! (Will re-review upon returning)! Ordered the west end mule and the Tommy's margarita. This place is great for drinks on any day of the week. Enjoyed our night here. Drinks are a bit pricey ~$10 for just average drinks

    Since this was not my first trip to Portland, I wanted to revisit some old favorites while also…read morechecking out places I had not been to before Marcy's was part of the latter - I had seen the name float around a while, and since the reviews looked great I thought it would be a good place to have breakfast. That being said, I made plans to check it out. Marcy's is a small corner diner, located just off Congress Street near the Portland Museum of Art. It wasn't crowded when I arrived, and immediately got a seat at the counter. The interior is super casual - more casual than an average diner, but is also very welcoming. I can see this place getting crowded/a wait during peak times as there are only a few tables in addition to the counter. The diner is only open for breakfast and lunch, 5 days per week. The menu has several breakfast staples as well as some more creative dishes they concocted. I didn't want to go off the beaten path, so I focused on their breakfast combos which had a mixture of eggs and carbs. I decided on their Number 6 which contained choice eggs (I got scrambled), has browns, choice of breakfast meat (I got sausage), and choice of flavored pancakes (I got blueberry). The breakfast was delicious - the portions are large and I could tell they use quality ingredients. There isn't much more I can say outside of the fact that this was a solid meal with delicious food - it was really everything you want out of a diner breakfast. Service was also great - everyone was friendly and chill; I could tell they get along well and that they put a lot of love into this place. Overall, Marcy's Diner is a yes - there is nothing flashy here, but I had a delicious meal in a friendly, casual environment. I wouldn't hesitate to return the next time I'm in Portland.

    Best two egg breakfast ever!!! Traditional breakfast place but so much more. Great atmosphere…read more Super friendly staff. Great music. People who work here definitely care. Oh yeah did I mention the food! Best two egg ever. Huge portions. I highly recommend this place. Best breakfast in Portland. I don't usually eat pancakes but whoa they look amazing

The restaurant is larger than it looks since there's a second seating area too. I'd recommend the Flight of mini lobster rolls (3x 2oz lobster rolls), which can be chilled or warmed. Prices are fair, at about $20 a lobster roll. Their ghee butter add another level to their lobster rolls and they don't skimp on meat! Definitely try out the Highroller and maybe get some of their iconic merch.

I ordered the lobster roll with lemon, jalapeño mayo, and Old Bay, and it was amazing. It was fresh, flavorful, and a fun twist on the classic lobster roll. The staff were cool, the music was good, and the whole place had a fun, laid-back vibe. They also have a cool outdoor patio where you can hang out when the weather is warm. There's even an overflow area that gives everyone more room when it gets crowded. I honestly can't give this place enough stars. Definitely stop here if you're visiting Portland!

    The Highroller Lobster - SO GOOD. Lobster tasted so fresh and tender. Bread was hefty and a great compliment. (Lobster Roll)
