randomly stopped by and wow, this isn't normal bar food, it's straight up gourmet italian! cesar with homemade anchovy based dressing was a great way to start. they even make their own gelato! Sunday Gravy pasta was excellent. Cacio Pepe mac n cheese was good too but needed something, maybe slightly stronger/stinkier aged cheese, a bit of chili oil on top, dunno. well def be back to try more. pizza looks excellent in the pics & want to try it. place itself is super charming, great vibes & cozy. read more

This is a small place on the corner of the hopping part of Clinton. They have seating both inside and outside, with QR codes to submit your order right from your table (so convenient!). The food came out fresh and fast. The portions aren't huge, but they have a pretty great happy hour menu from 4-6 that makes the portion sizes completely justified for the price. The service was also very friendly! My one complaint was the noise level. Being that it's so small you had to shout to talk to your table mate and the more people shouted the louder everyone got. With that being said, I'd recommend sitting outside if possible. read more

Have been to a couple of their Monday pizza nights now and both were exceptional re: great flavor, friendly service, and option of sitting inside or outside. Save room for the gelato choices! Highly recommend. It's like a really good restaurant that happens to serve really good drinks. It doesn't feel like a bar that dabbles in some basic food offerings as afterthought. read more

We swung in while in the neighborhood to grab a drink with friends. The Lucky Horseshoe lounge is so chill and inviting! We ordered at the bar and brought our drinks outside. The pours were great! We saw some food hitting the tables around us and realized we need to come hungry next time! Can't wait to get back! Great service, great drinks! read more

Our first visit was for the Holiday Drink Week cocktail, 'Slaybells'. We managed to snag a seat at the bar and were served immediately by a lovely, very busy, and friendly bartender who looked like they were running a one-person marathon. The place has this wonderfully dark and cozy atmosphere--perfect for hiding from the winter chill. We skipped the food because we were stuffed already, but the drink itself was amazing--a coffee-based concoction loaded with delicious, Christmassy ingredients that made my tastebuds sing carols. Three days later, I was still dreaming of their Parmesan Meatball sub--I think I might have been clinically obsessed. We had to go back to satisfy the craving. The delicious sandwich is value-priced as was their Old Fashioned! They were both everything I had hoped for and more, proving dreams do come true. My next mission: the spaghetti. I just hope I don't have to wait three days this time. read more

Just happen to run into this neighborhood watering hole that has fantastic service, very good food along with a full menu of tasty libations. A definite return visit! And family friendly, too! Check it out!! read more

I really really wanted to like this place. But I hate walking into an establishment and being treated like a nuisance. Like say hello or smile at least. Even when the food was being delivered there was no eye contact or communication. Just places the food down and walks away. Im giving this place 3 stars bc I think I would have liked it here if the staff just made a small effort. read more

Finally....I stopped in for HH last Friday, so glad that I did. The vibe is Portland Lounge Laidback, on a great people watching locale, not pretentious. The drinks were tasty and at a good price. The bartender was good to chat with and knowledgeable. You can't beat the HH prices and quality in this economy. read more

Fun spot to get cocktails and snacks. They have a really good HH menu. Plenty of outdoor seating and a great place on a sunny day to enjoy drinks. You order off QR code and they are fairly quick. read more

After a night of drag at Clinton Theater, we decided to try out Lucky Horseshoe for food and drinks. We were pleasantly surprised with the online ordering feature - how thrilling it is to press a button and receive a martini! We love places with great moody lighting and vibes, this did not disappoint. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe Mac & cheese and the Caesar salad - both were correct! A great spot to now have on our radar. read more

Atmosphere: Nice little neighborhood spot with a couple TV's if you need. Covered and uncovered patio with a number of tables. I liked the atmosphere here. Great for a nice afternoon Food: Pizzas are good, though I was a little disappointed with the fingerling potato one. Can't wait to try some of the other dishes on a non-Monday Price: Very reasonable prices and love that they have some cheap Old German! Service: Service has always been good when I have been in and even though they don't really show sports, they offered to put some on if I needed. Parking: Street parking read more

First visit was for 2024 Sandwich Week, great lively vibe immediately upon entering. The Negroni Sbagliato on Happy Hour was oh so satisfying. Of all the sandwich entries around town, their Italian Grilled Cheese was my most anticipated to try. For one, it was one of the few thin creations, most were towering monstrosities. It was good, but not great. What would elevate it is If they used a more interesting bread such as Grand Central's Potato Bun. The homemade gelato was excellent and a good value. Small suggestion: replace the big soup spoon with a smaller dessert spoon. The crowd is predominantly "Clinton", lots of beanies and beards. Bartender was cool which was especially appreciated as it was during peak time. I look forward to returning to further explore the menu. read more

Found this little gem and saw how great the ratings were on @yelpportland while we were in the area. We tried the pork cutlet sandwich, cacio e pepe Mac n cheese, and the hot capicola sandwich. Everything was so good! I love the limited menu so I didn't feel overwhelmed with options. Water is self serve and you can either place an order at the bar or the QR code on the table. I have T-Mobile and my signal was weak so internet was spotty. read more

Small cute quaint place, but stand offish service. No greeting, felt unwelcomed when entering. Weird way of ordering. No table service, you order off of their app, they just bring you what you've ordered. Like I said, it's a small cute quaint place, front door is like 10 feet away from the bar, but when you enter in the doors, there is no greeting. No "Hello", no "Welcome In" No nothing! Just stares. Pork Cutlet was ok, and the Spaghetti Fritti with meatballs was ok. Drinks were strong read more

Ambiance: 5/5 Nice and cozy small Italian neighborhood lounge. They also have patio seating in the front and are dog-friendly there. They allow minors until 10 PM! Service: 5/5 We came in and seated ourselves. There is a QR code where you can order with menus on the table, or you can go to a bartender to order. They didn't greet us as we came in because they were busy with other customers, but we didn't mind at all! Food and drinks were quick to come. Servers were attentive and gave us utensils and plates to share, and even changed our plates for the main course. Food: 4.7/5 The food was a little expensive for smaller portions but still delicious. Pizza is only available on Mondays! * Fried Mozzarella: Came with spicy garlic marinara. Three pieces, crispy and cheesy. * Cacio e Pepe Mac & Cheese: Creamy and delicious, just what you would expect. * Rigatoni with Sunday Gravy: So yummy, our favorite dish! The long-braised beef and meatballs were the best part. Highly recommend this if you come, but it's only available on Sundays. * Long Island Iced Teas: Served in huge cups and definitely worth the buck. read more

The Lucky Horseshoe is a great little neighborhood bar - so great, in fact, that even though it's not in my neighborhood I will go out of the way to go there. I chanced upon it on a whim when looking for a happy hour with outdoor seating, and came back for the promise of Sunday gravy pasta. This is the kind of place where the regulars from the neighborhood post up at the bar and where the comfort food more than matches the solid drinks being served. Happy hour is solid; the Negroni Sbagliato is super tasty, they make a mean Spritz, and the wine pours are simple yet generous. The aforementioned Sunday gravy pasta is homey and comforting. I have yet to try the other menu items, but from peeping at other folks' tables, they look tasty. The service is casual and friendly. The space is small, but in a cozy way, and there's a parklet and tables outside for sunny days. Good food, good drink, good ambiance - lucky we are, indeed! read more

Great food & drinks, dog shit service. Bartender (guy) and girl bringing out food were great but the one with green hair took 15 minutes to take my drink order and told me water tank was behind me when she gave the people next to me waters read more

Cute bar with nice ambiance and excellent food and drinks. Prices are very reasonable and the menu skews upscale.

Consistent! Amazing classic cocktails, INCREDIBLY good specials, and just the best food a bar has put out around town lately. We ordered through the app when it was busy and that was seamless! Otherwise they're on top of your stuff, don't be afraid to walk up to them, they're really nice. Water is nearby the door to grab for yourself and sit. read more

Really enjoyed my experience here. You order and pay at your table via QR code, server brings it out, you get your own water - pretty hands off. The food took me by surprise. We ordered the garlic bread, fried meatballs, pork sandwich, and spaghetti and it was all really good! Smaller portions, but it was more than enough food for two people. We also ordered Smokeshow and a daiquiri - excellent cocktails. The bar itself is smaller, dark, and cozy. The outside patio is nice and airy on a beautiful warm day. Will be back for HH! read more

A small cocktail bar on Clinton with lots of well priced and made cocktails, decent food selection with delicious pasta and salads, and great people watching as it's right next door to the theater that always play Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not busy on a Friday night which is actually really nice for a casual hangout with friends. read more

We stop in for a quick drink after catching a movie next door. It's quaint, the bartender is friendly, we sit at the bar and chat with him about whiskey. They have a few bottles, not too many but a little off each kind. He recommends a bottle to us, we like it. We have a second drink, we enjoy the peaceful ambiance in this little, unassuming lounge. It's kind of dark, more intimate vibes (or serial killer waiting in the wings, depending on your mood). We don't stay long but we enjoy our time there. We pay our tab, tip our bartender, and walk back out into the unknown sketchiness that is modern day Portland. Carefully we walk around the mounds of garbage and broken glass, breathing lightly so as not to inhale too much of the aerial funk surrounding us. My car is right where I left it. My catalytic converter is in tact. We live to see another rainy day here in the PNW ;) cheers! read more

One of the best places in town, both for food and drinks. Everyone who works here is really nice. It can really get busy during dinner time, but the wait is never long for good food to come out! Don't go to Monday pizza night, with different pizzas each week. Instead, save it all for me! read more

Great drink selections and surprisingly good food. Fun neighborhood spot but happy hour gets busy.

Sweet spot, it has vibes like Little Dom's back in L.A., old school Italian feel. I had a tasty chopped salad with salami and a 50/50 Cynar and rye. The staff chatted with me about 50/50s and gave me the owner's own concoction, the Tootsie Roll (it did indeed taste like a tootsie roll). I shouldn't have ordered the tonnato, I wasn't a big fan of the dry crackers. read more

We stopped in for a midday snack and drink after running some errands, and let me tell you- I don't know what I was expecting, but I was blown away! I had the Piazza Dante and the Albiccoca Martini- both were equally delicious and refreshing. We shared the cacio e Pepe Mac and cheese, and I wish I would have ordered my own it was so good! We also shared the eggs diavolo- loved the unique twist with the spicy Chile addition! This is a small, fairly quiet bar. It wasn't terribly busy, but the bartender was very attentive and friendly. read more

I've been here six times now since they reopened under new ownership, new menu. The cocktails are excellent. No qualifications. I'm partial to the Paper Plane but I've had probably 8 different ones and none have disappointed. Likewise, the food is tasty and fresh. Whether you get a sandwich, a salad, or a desert you'll get something delicious. Tonight we had the fried berry pie a la mode and it was just amazing. Couldn't be better. The ambience is great, especially for summer. We've only eaten outside, but it's perfect on a summer evening to enjoy being outside as well as to people watch. The one knock is the service. On the one hand it is VERY convenient to order using your phone. However, the servers only bring out the food and bus - they don't give any kind of direction with the menu. And when we asked for water you would have thought we were asking the person to go to the well and pump. We ended up getting it ourselves. That doesn't ruin it for us though. We've been six times and we'll keep going back for the food, cocktails, and good vibes on Clinton and 26th. read more

In searching for great food, we happened upon this cute, amazing bar! Trust the reviews! The best espresso martini! The best food! The best experience! We went later in the evening and they still accepted us without hesitation. The owner was behind the bar working hard. The Bartender, Zach, was so great, we had drinks at the bar next door after he closed up! New friends and full bellies at the Lucky Horseshoe Lounge! read more
