Really solid cocktail bar! I loved my espresso martini and Hugo spritz I got. Ambiance was great. Perfect lighting balance at night. Ended up walking in on a night where they had a jazz band playing which was great. Bartenders were really nice. Good amount of seating. Street parking only. read more

We came here for New Year celebration and paid the premium for the table. The service is superb. Food and drinks are good. Food is Asian. But for the price we paid for the table, it came with nothing for count down, no champagne, no New Year party favors. There wasn't even any New Year decorations. Hard to find parking in this area. May have to park in a paid parking lot. read more

This place has become a favorite! We enjoy the signature cocktails and the very friendly bar tenders Josh, May and Clay. Our new years night was especially fun. The food is great! One of my favorites is the octopus... and of course their smash burger is one of the best! The ambiance is almost like a speakeasy with jazz music oldies playing in the background. In addition to live jazz night on Thursdays. Simply the best!!! Charles and Quan read more

Lulus was definitely an experience. We got to talk to the bartender a lot and shared his knowledge about Mezcals. We got some wings and a burger which was nice with the cocktails that we ordered. All the cocktails were extremely elevated and I of course got the Espresso Martini. We hope to make it back one of these days for Jazz Night. read more

Revisited after manay years and this time they hit it out of the park (with the exception of soggy fries)! We went on a week night instead and it's much more pleasant. Pretty empty, bartenders were very friendly and made AWESOME drinks. Their Happy Hour deal is honestly some of the best in town with $10 craft house cocktails and lots of delicious food. We went to town with their food menu and really loved the Steak Empanandas. Super crispy, super juicy on the inside. Chicken Katsu Bowl was nice too. Again with crispy chicken and delicious sides. Salt & Pepper Squid was decent. Crunchy and flavorful. I know it's mostly fried food but they did hit. The only miss was their Peruvian Fries for me...Lukewarm, soggy. The sauces did make it up but not ideal. For $8 tho, very generous portion. They do Jazz Night on Wednesdays around 7pm as well. We'll definitely be back for their HH again! read more

my experience here was amazing! the bartender was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. you can tell he's very passionate about the science behind making cocktails. i forgot what my drink was (it had the lychee foam) but it was amazing. it was sweet and fragrant and had a wonderful blend of flavors. i would definitely recommend trying it if that's what you're into. we came during a jazz night and the music was perfect. it set the mood and was a nice end to a chaotic work day. prices are a little expensive, but it's worth the experience. read more

Lulu Bar PDX is one of my all time favorite places to grab a quick drink. Their pre-dinner hour is quiet and gives a VIP experience vibe. Their dinner hour is bumbling with happy friends and delicious food (smash burger is actually calling your name). And finally, their year round ease of visiting might be my top reason of love for this place... also my name is Lucy and many call me "lulu" so it only feels right to be here! Oh, you're having trouble deciding on a drink? Well, I always will recommend an extra dry gin martini... but at Lulu I am a stan for the toasted marsh espresso martini. Plus, quick and friendly service makes it easy to order more ;) Enjoy your time! Xoxo, Lulu. read more

LULU - espresso martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stopped in on Saturday night for a nightcap not realizing there was a crazy busy nightclub next door. Music in the bar was too loud for such a narrow space IMO (my partner, a career club DJ, surprisingly agreed) and service was awkward. The server came by to put waters on the table with some napkins, handed us menus and told us to order at the bar, which was completely packed with people so it took 20 minutes just to order drinks. This was after waiting 15 mins for the server with the waters... after waiting so long I was looking forward to my cocktail. Unfortunately it was syrupy sweet and not balanced at all. My partner enjoyed his cocktail because he prefers it to be more sweet than taste like liquor Did my best to finish my drink so we could move on to find another spot to redeem our nightcap experience. Maybe we need to visit again on a slower night but for now, we have a ton of other options to explore in PDX first. read more

Lulu is amazing, what a great place to stop and have a drink and food. The ambiance is amazing, it's upscale but welcoming. We stopped by this time on Jazz night and while Jazz isn't my thing it still vibed amazingly. The drinks and the food are what separates Lulu from any other place- the drinks are on point- the custom cocktails better than any I've had in Las Vegas which is absolutely mind blowing. Josh and Clay are masters of their craft. The food is 11/10... damn. We hit happy hour and got the Peruvian fries and they were delicious. The Saltado is where is was at though.. man this was rich, hearty and salty. One of top 10 dishes in my life. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. Taking the work crew here next time we have meetup right after work. You can't top this place! Now service was stellar, Josh and Clay were just crushing it. Perfect level of service, there when you need them and not when you don't. What a hidden gem. Please try Lulu, I'm sure you'd agree. read more

My boyfriend and I went for a date night to Lulu, the staff was great and friendly and made great recommendations on drinks whiskey and food. Their Peruvian fries and wings were amazing. I had 2 cocktails that were great! I tried the espresso martini and swipe right! Highly recommend. It's a date night vibe then after 10pm they have a DJ. read more

Cloud nine drink was absolutely delicious. Service was friendly. The spring rolls weren't authentic spring rolls but I wasn't mad about it. The ingredients tasted fresh. Space is good. Bar seating. Lower tables, and a couch area. The only thing about Portland bars at night is the overpowering oontz oontz of music. The DJ was ok but man that music is so loud you have to scream to the person next to you to hear them. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance : 5/5 My girlfriends and I were in the area and decided to check this spot out and wow, it did not disappoint. The dark, mysterious vibe created such a great atmosphere. It wasn't crowded, with only one other group besides us, so it felt very private. The server was sweet, quick, and super friendly. The drinks were great, and the food was amazing! We ordered the Peruvian fries, salt and pepper squid, and ceviche. I'd skip the ceviche next time, but the fries and salt and pepper squid were perfect snacks to pair with drinks, highly recommend them. There's also a photo booth, but it's digital and doesn't print photos, so just keep that in mind. Overall, we had a good time and would definitely come back! read more

Luv luv luv the staff here!!! Needless to say this spot is a total vibe on wknds but the staff place this spot over the top!!!

My visit was back in December 2024. The bouncer checked our IDs. We found seating at the bar. We ordered a bit of food and drinks. We were right next to the DJ, which was pretty fun. The tables would have been better for a party of four, but they were all full and we didn't want to wait. Cocktails ranged from $13-16. The Lulu espresso martini was so gooood. I recommend this one! The FISH SAUCE WINGS were so tasty, but tbh really messy because of the bones. I don't recommend doing this if it's your first date. I love dancing, and there was a bit of space for dancing and a huge wall mirror. Parking: free on the street on Sundays Bathrooms are in the back. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. (This review is also posted on Google Maps.) read more

Always love coming back to lulus, whether it's for live music or their slight change in the menu. I always enjoy what they have to offer. Thursday evening, It wasn't packed and was pretty chill. Sat at the bar and ordered a cocktail (swipe right). Had a conversation with the bartender, she was really nice. As my two friends joined me, we then ordered our food. I got the ribeye steak curry, while the other two got chicken katsu bowl. Ribeye Steak Curry: came with rice, curry was panang curry. So it was quite sweet and coconuty. Swipe Right: on the citrusy side but sweet. So if you like a sweet cocktail, I recommend. We left a bit early but if we had stayed, we would have enjoyed the live music that happens on Thursday's. Also want to go back to trythe Black Ink Squid Noodles with Shrimp and Lo Macho Sauce. read more

The staff were so friendly and helpful! Really appreciated their patience and continued checking in on us when I visited here with a large group. They had unique and delicious drinks for a reasonable price during happy hour ($10 house cocktails) and decently priced food even though there weren't a lot of options. I tried the salt n pepper squid, which was fried and not bad, but not particularly flavorful either. As well as the fish sauce wings, which I really enjoyed because they weren't TOO fish-sauced and the chicken was moist, but my partner suggested they needed more flavor. My partner also got the burger and fries and reports that the burger was very firm, the patty was visibly quite skinny, and overall not incredibly appetizing but for $10 (HH price) for both burger and fries that's a hard price to beat around here. I enjoyed the decor and the vibes were overall really cool, I'd recommend it. Noticed it was pretty busy during happy hour and then was calmer afterwards. read more

The bartenders here are amazing. Foods good; empanadas are the best, burger is ok, wing are great but temp is lava read more

Lulu Bar absolutely deserves all five stars -- what a gem in the heart of Portland! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the atmosphere. The candlelight creates such an intimate, cozy setting -- perfect for date night or a relaxed evening out with friends. It feels warm, welcoming, and effortlessly chic. The service was top-notch from start to finish, and a huge shoutout to Josh, who made some of the best dirty martinis I've ever had. Perfectly balanced, chilled to perfection, and mixed with care -- you can tell he knows his craft. He was also super friendly and attentive without ever being intrusive, which really elevated the whole experience. Now, onto the food -- absolutely stellar. The salt and pepper squid was out of this world! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned beautifully with just the right kick. It's one of those dishes that makes you want to order a second round before you're even halfway through. Everything about Lulu Bar hits the mark: ambiance, cocktails, food, and service. It's one of those places that makes you feel like you've discovered something special -- because you have. I can't wait to come back! read more

LOVE the vibes here! We stopped by before seeing YDG at 45 East on a Friday night and the atmosphere was great! It was crowded and there was a DJ in the back. I liked the dark ambiance of the space and the lights from behind the bar. We ordered the Swipe Right cocktail from their menu and it was delicious! I can't wait to come back and try some of the other cocktails on their menu! read more

Food - 1 Service - 5 Ambiance -3 The place is cute and has promise. I hear it turns into a nightclub and has great energy. The ladies and I went for our monthly supper club and we were so disappointed with the food that I had to leave a note. The food was mediocre at best... the flavor profiles were off, the dumplings seemed like they were frozen and my friend almost threw up after eating one of the oysters (spoiled was the term we used). The plus side, the server was fantastic and empathetic. Thank you!! The drinks were also good. Would recommend for a drink but not for food. read more

Great ambiance. Pick a dark corner at the back where it's secluded and private. Attentive staff brought food quickly and good cocktails. Would definitely go again. read more

Super cute and cozy ambience in here! Delicious cocktails and quick service, plus really good bites on their food menu! Would be a great spot for date night, or getting the weekend started! read more

I was in town for my birthday and Lulu was recommended by a friend to come visit. This is a nice lounge with popular music and the drinks were great. It has an area with couches for you to relax and a small dance floor in the back. The staff were extremely nice and the ambience was excellent. We tried the wings and they were delicious. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Won at the casino and came here to celebrate. Jazz night was a bonus. Great drinks, great music--we'll be back.

Amazing service great vibes 10/10 recommend one of my favorite vibes in Portland. You should bring your friends

Drinks are a 5 but the food is a 2-3. I wouldn't get food here unless it's their smash burger. They don't do anything else on the menu very well. They are trying to be inventive but the flavors as well as how the food is actually kick doesn't meet the mark of what you would expect from a decent place in this city. read more

Drinks were good, with a chill atmosphere!! Bartender was helpful with help choosing a cocktail and wine.

I am a Portland local and I frequently visit Lulu Bar because each time I have an amazing experience! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, they are always attentive at the bar and with waiting tables. The live DJ on thursdays and the weekends The whole ambience of the bar feels relaxed and fun. The atmosphere is lively yet laid-back, with great music that keeps the energy up without being overwhelming. I attended their 2025 New Year's Eve event for the first time, and it was such a ! Everything from the drinks to the crowd was spot on, also it was very classy and a unique experience, to dress up for a black tie event. I'd definitely recommend Lulu Bar to anyone looking for a good time with a great mix of music, people, and an overall fantastic environment. I'm always looking forward to going and can't wait to go back! read more

I've been wanting to check out Lulu forever, and I finally made time to go to celebrate my birthday with a couple of friends. My partner and I showed up about 30 minutes before my reservation, and they were so welcoming. They have a nice couch-seating area for casual vibes if you don't want to sit at the tables or at the bar. Let's talk about the drinks. My goodness. Their beautiful wall shows off an eclectic collection of drinks, and they truly have everything. I began with the Rick and Shorty (passionfruit & vodka) and it was a great start to my night. Other drinks don't fall any short, and each has a different character that really speak volumes to their range. The food is provided by Jarana, and it was excellent. We got the Salt and Pepper Squid, Fish Sauce Wings, and Peruvian Fries. I wish the squid was a bit bigger because it was kind of hard to grab them with forks! I wasn't able to try the bigger dishes, but that just means I'll be back to try more. Vibes are immaculate. Music is great. Ambiance is chill and laidback. I heard Lulu turns into a nightclub after certain hours. I wasn't able to experience this firsthand, but it sounds like a good time if you like dinner to nightclub experience. FYI, everything is by tab. Orders are by tab as well. read more

Had a great time here with friends! The inside is spacious and they have bar seating, tables, and a lounging area. While it's nice it's also casual and the ambiance is very upbeat when there's a lot of people. Drinks here are good and the food is always reliable. Love coming here with friends! read more

Honestly I didn't really know what to expect coming to Lulu, but the food was subpar. The only thing I really liked was the fresh rolls. But everything else was just eh... especially the burger it was like McDonald's quality. They also forgot my partner's drink too and I understand that can be a mistake. The vibes are cute here tho and it's worth a try because some reviews say they have on and off days with the food so I could've just came on an off day read more

Okay so I have a love, not so love relationship with this bar, one one hand the drinks are amazing, specifically the Rick and Shorty and Expresso Martini (best I've had). The short DJ on saturdays is PHENOMENAL lots of old school R&B, rap, some new stuff mixed in with random top hits. However one of the bartenders was overcharging me and my friends for drinks the last time we went we came home and realized we had surplus $20 charges that weren't related to drinks we bought, and one of my drinks I bout ( a $14 drink ) was charged for $20 and he I think just auto tipped him self and didn't give me the receipt to sign/write out what I wanted to tip him. So personally me and my friends will be back but will probably avoid being waited on by him and ask for a different one if he's there again. The bar itself was/is a vibe. read more

My friend and I were stuck between places to go and I am so glad we chose to go to LULU. I've seen so many people post about it on Instagram and I get it! We came pretty early in the evening, and it was fairly empty. If you're trying to avoid being around a lot of people, I would recommend doing so. We left right before it was getting busy. I'm looking at the menu that's online and realizing it's missing a lot of things that was ordered. I highly, highly, highly recommend the street ceviche with rockfish, fried calamari, aji amarillo, Peruvian cancha. The calamari was perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. There were other things on the plate that I still can't tell you what it was, but all I know is that I want more of it. My friend also got the empanadas and she was pointing at it and telling me that it was really good. The Peruvian potatoes with huancaynas, mozzarella, and olives was potatoes unlike any other potatoes I have ever had. Not your regular, average, everyday potatoes. It's potatoes 2.0. Everything was DELICIOUS! I repeat for people who are looking up LULU and trying to decide if they should go, do yourself a favor and check it out. Yeah, sure, LULU is a trendy bar, but go for the food. The chef kept coming up and checking in on us and asking us about the food. I hope he sees this review, because his food deserves a round of applause and I am ready to come back for more. I texted my friends that night to talk about how good this place was. read more
