Special night out with my parents and they wanted fancy old fashioned cocktails and a quiet place…read moreto sip them. We were so lucky to find Teardrop Cocktail Lounge. The front patio was a nice place to enjoy golden hour and our service was exceptional. My dad got a brandy alexander, mom got a piña colada on the rocks and later a pink lady, and I got something like a Negroni (they make Negronis but I asked the server to choose something interesting and the result was absolutely splendid). Cheers to the professionals who helped make our visit even more special.

To speak about Teardrop Lounge, I should probably start with this:…read more Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite cocktail bar. Not the best -- I'm not arrogant enough to claim that. I haven't been to every cocktail bar in Portland, and saying something is the best usually says more about your lack of experience than your conviction. But favorite? That I can stand behind. And I want to get that out of the way early, because of the amount of praise I'm about to pour on this place -- fully earned, completely intentional. The biggest crime here is that I only discovered it two weeks ago, after living in Portland for a year. It had been recommended to me countless times, and I ignored it. A mistake. A painful one. But now that I've found it, I don't plan on making that mistake again. I'm not typically an Old Fashioned drinker. In fact, I usually hate them. But somewhere between curiosity and too many episodes of Mad Men, I decided to try one anyway -- fully expecting to confirm my bias. Instead, it completely flipped me. Bright, almost citrus-forward in a way that felt unusual but entirely intentional. Balanced, smooth, just enough burn to remind you what you're drinking without overwhelming it. It was the first time I actually understood the appeal. I'm pretty sure I grew a few chest hairs that night. That alone would've been impressive. But it didn't stop there. The space is beautiful -- clean, intentional, but not cold. The staff are excellent: personable, engaged, and most importantly, authentic. Not scripted, not performative. The kind of people you actually want to talk to, and hopefully, eventually be on a first-name basis with. Now, all of that gets it close to a perfect score. But what pushes it over the edge -- what makes this place stick -- is the White Russian. One of the first drinks I ever had. My dad's drink. Not because of The Big Lebowski -- that came later -- but because it's just always been his thing. And at some point, it became mine too. Typically, when bars try to "elevate" a White Russian, they ruin it. They overthink it. Swap ingredients, tweak ratios, add unnecessary flair. And more often than not, it ends in disappointment. Teardrop does the opposite. They respect it -- but refine it. The coffee liqueur actually tastes like coffee. The heavy cream is properly integrated, not just dumped on top. The vodka -- whatever they're using -- is clean, present, and perfectly measured. There's a subtle complexity to it without losing what makes the drink what it is. It's the best White Russian I've ever had. No hesitation. I've gone back twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. If someone asked me what my death row drink would be -- this specific cocktail, from this specific bar, is in the conversation. Easily. Teardrop Lounge doesn't just make great cocktails. It reminds you why cocktails matter in the first place. And that's why it's my favorite.

To be clear, I've been here multiple times, but Ronaldo and Jeff are truly the A-team. Before, I always thought this place was just "okay"--good, but nothing that really stood out. This visit completely changed my perspective. Ronaldo and Jeff are a duo made in heaven. Their knowledge, hospitality, and teamwork elevated the experience to a whole new tier. It honestly felt like I was visiting a completely different speakeasy, and in the best way possible. Keep up the amazing work--you've turned a place I used to think was just average into one I'll be excited to come back to.

The atmosphere in this turn-off-the-20th-century style dim-lit whiskey bar with beautiful couches…read moreand fireplace aesthetic perfection and frenetic social club energy is nearly unmatched. The room alone almost made it worth my time. The English pea risotto was very good, and the house fries were good. The French-oaked flight I requested was a sad effort. The bartender never asked what distillers I had as options other than indicating that Makers 46 must be what I'm after when I said French oaked and creamy was my vibe, to which I raised an eyebrow and indicated I was ok if he started with that in my flight as a base for comparison. Otherwise he never asked whether I'd like to spend good money on something special (I would have said yes) and later claimed these were the only French-oaked bottles they even had in stock despite a claimed inventory of over 2,000 whiskeys. What arrived: Penelope Architect--nothing at all on the nose, something like wood paneling on the palate. Angel's Envy Triple Oak--tasted just like the Angel's Envy Rum Cask I can get at the supermarket. Maker's 46--the best of those three, yet still quintessentially basic as a wheated French-staved bargain buy, which, by the way, I never indicated I was there for. When I diplomatically indicated my that my flight was totally blasé and asked for one last pour in hopes of redeeming the experience, he brought me a redundant Maker's Heart Series in which the heart was made of mildly chocolate-inspired disappointment. Staff clearly put effort into educating and serving, and the environment is special enough that I hope to return with friends for that alone, even though I was rushed out due to a scheduled reservation needing my unscheduled seat. Ultimately the pours left me with an extremely unimpressive result and a future 0-for-2 that I'd be willing to risk in hopes of their redemption. Exceptionally impressive venue, if totally unimpressive flight curation.

Fortune Club presents itself as a late-night destination of consequence. In practice, the evening…read moreunfolded as an exercise in endurance rather than pleasure--an ordeal more accurately described as torture than entertainment. The space was congested to the point of dysfunction. Circulation collapsed. Sound, rather than amplifying atmosphere, flattened conversation and produced a kind of sensory attrition. Service intervals lengthened without corresponding increase in care. The cumulative effect was not energy but fatigue: one paid for access and received, in return, the slow erosion of the will to remain. Two exceptions interrupt that verdict and deserve to be recorded with precision. Pete, working security, operated at a professional standard rarely encountered in rooms of this type. He was composed, observant, and proportionate. He neither performed authority nor abdicated it. He managed threshold and floor with a quiet competence that treated patrons as adults rather than problems to be processed. In an environment otherwise marked by friction, his presence was the only element that felt first-class. The bartenders constituted the second, and more consistent, redemption. They worked under pressure with speed, accuracy, and an unforced courtesy that never curdled into performance. They executed drinks correctly when the room was at its most chaotic and did so without the contempt that often accompanies volume. They were, without exaggeration, the best thing about the establishment. The institution itself did not rise to the level of its two competent employees. Pete and the bar staff performed their work with distinction. The remainder of the night did not. I would not repeat it.

The drinks were amazing and the bar was able to make the drink I wanted, Rizz Fizz, as a mocktail which tasted excellent. Service here was top notch. Everyone treated us with kindness and we came in before the restaurant had their full menu but they were still able to accommodate us early. Despite that, the food was not a highlight of the night (review left on Hapa Barkadas Yelp page). Definitely would love to come back for another drink and to enjoy the ambiance.

I ordered volcano broccoli (soo good), bao bun bbq pork taco (amazing, always on the look out for good bao buns in the Portland area), Hawaiian fried chicken plate (chipotle aioli sauce ), and these sushi rice paper things I can't find the name on the menu but pic below were sooo good also. The only thing I didn't love was my drink. I ordered the hibiscus Paloma, & tbh didn't taste much like a Paloma and wouldn't get it again. The poke salad was also subpar and knowing how good the other things on the menu are wouldn't get that again either.

I stood there waiting for a while and were looked at a few times, but no one acknowledged me before walking away. Food service was also on the slower side. I ordered the veggie burger, but unfortunately the patty was pretty dry, and the fries were hard, so I probably wouldn't order the food again. That said, one of the staff members who helped me was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service. The security guards were also super kind and welcoming, which definitely made the overall experience more enjoyable. I'd come back for the live music and atmosphere, but I'd skip the food next time.
