I was at the bar top chatting with a friend about how much I love pickle martinis. The bar tender perked up.. pickle martini? I asked her if they serve them and she let me know she has never made one but would love to try. I let her do her thing and she brought me a great creation. The best part really is the toppings! She was so sweet. This place does karaoke a few nights a week. Everyone there is so pleasant and not afraid to get on stage and sing! They also have two nice pool tables and a covered out door seating area that is enclosed ( important if you know this area ) There is a lovely door person who checks ID's and is very welcoming. I absolutely love this place and enjoy a girls night here! There is a lot of seating which I appreciate. The bathroom is always clean and filled with the essentials.

Quickly decided we did not want to eat here because I don't want some twack making my food. This is insane! How on one of the busier nights you legit have the worst bartender that definitely shouldn't be bartending and should pay off whatever drugs she's on because it's obvious as hell. This is the exact vibe you would expect from this place especially being off 82nd. Make ur day shift bartenders work night ? Atleast they aren't on drugs

My husband and I have supported Bruno's since they first opened. We've brought friends and family…read morehere many times because we believe in supporting local businesses in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, our experience last night was extremely disappointing. We were dining with a visiting family member and had just received our food and first round of drinks. When our waitress--who mentioned it was her first day--came back, I politely ordered a second drink. About 10-15 minutes later, a bartender (whose name was shared with us as Diego by our waitress) brought the drink to the table. Instead of simply delivering it, he spoke to me in an aggressive and condescending tone, telling me this would be the only time a drink would be brought to the table and that next time I needed to go to the bar because they "don't do table service." The issue wasn't the policy--it was the way it was communicated. It felt disrespectful, unprofessional, and completely lacking in basic customer service. Shortly after, our waitress returned and asked if the bartender had been upset about the order, which added to how uncomfortable the situation felt. As the only table of color in the space at the time, the interaction left us questioning whether this was simply poor training, a bad night, or something more concerning. I can't say for certain--but I can say it did not feel welcoming or respectful. We chose to finish quickly, pay our bill, and leave with our food. This experience does not reflect the kind of hospitality we expect from our neighborhood. I truly hope this was an isolated incident and that management takes steps to address staff communication and customer service.

A few friends tried the Gin Fizz which they enjoyed, and it was a cool novelty cocktail. The outdoor seating is nice, and it's heated, which is great for these chilly early spring nights. There's a pizza place attached - Pan Con Queso - and a Korean fried chicken place right next door, both of which will deliver your order right to your table inside Holy Ghost! Pretty slow service (always a line at the bar) but otherwise really cool spot. Would love to check out Drag Bingo here!

It's not a bad spot but just a tad strange. It fits right into Portland! I come here because the…read moredrinks are cheaper then anywhere and the food is pretty decent. Small burgers so I recommend you get two burgers and fries. It's a neighbourhood bar so it's frequented by locals and people from the sorrounding neighbourhoods but it's not a very diverse crowd. Caucasian-dominant. I got the punk-vibe from both female bartenders and it seems to be a spot for alot of service workers to hang out. Interesting decor inside. I would not mind coming back but that's only because of the cheap drinks! It opens at 4pm every day and you can find the hours on google.

When I moved into the neighborhood, this place was called Queen of Hearts. There were always about…read morea thousand motorcycles parked outside, along with a colorful cast of characters from the neighborhood. I never once stepped inside. When Queen of Hearts changed over to Cadigan's Corner, the bikes motored on, but the characters remained. I only went one time, but the experience was intense and memorable, and included a server with a spirit-collecting sword, and a sign that said: "We are not responsible for women left unattended." Among other highlights. So when Old Gilbert took over the spot, I had small hopes, but one leery eye on the door. I've been in a good number of times now, and in comparison to its predecessors, it's fantastic. One generally feels pretty safe, and the flair for the dramatic is low. All in all, it's pretty bare bones. I'm waiting for it to fully develop its personality, but for now its theme to me is: cheap thrills, no frills.

There's something for everyone -- tacos, vegan bowls, Asian fusion, gourmet desserts -- and each cart has its own vibe. We got a little bit of everything: a crunchy taco from one cart, a savory bowl from another, and even a sweet treat to top it off. The food came fast, portions were generous, and it felt like a mini foodie festival every time someone ordered something new. The bar seating is great: open-air, casual, and perfect for sharing different dishes while people-watching or chatting. It's a fun, lively yet relaxed vibe -- ideal for a group night out or a low-key hang. If you're into variety, good flavor, and a no-fuss way to try lots of different foods in one spot -- Flipside Bar & Carts is a must. I'll definitely be going back when I want a chill night out with great eats.
