There is a food cart in the back with Hawaiian goods which I am down to try next time. The service is friendly and acknowledge me when I first got in. The reason why I went to this bar was to check out the vibes if it was too loud or too busy or if it is chill enough to hear conversations with one another. That would be it ! It was quiet enough to have conversations even for a drink with a large group. There is a Photo Booth and a vending machine for nicotine I believe. And there are signs that they have karaoke on Saturdays, which I will have to come back for so this is definitely a spot to check out. I did not give it a full five stars because the parking was not the greatest.

We ended up staying way longer than planned because it's just that fun -- grabbing drinks, watching people battle it out on the big screens, and soaking in the atmosphere. It's not your typical bar where everyone just stands around. There's always something going on and the vibe is super welcoming and energetic and the owners are so cool! If you love retro games, colorful arcade energy, and good drinks, Vault 31 is an absolute gem.

After ordering food and a round of drinks for the group, we sat down at one of the gaming booths, excited to dive in. When I went back to the counter to ask how to start playing, the bartender told me it was $5 per person to access the games and that guests needed to consistently order drinks to maintain access. Honestly, that seemed fair to me. However, things quickly went downhill. I offered to pay the game fee, but was told I needed to buy drinks first. I explained we had just bought drinks--he had literally served us minutes earlier. His response: "You need to have an open tab, and we won't let you play unless you order more." At that point, the experience soured. The staff felt dismissive and unwelcoming throughout the interaction. Despite already spending money, we were denied access to what we came for. We finished our drinks--which, for some reason, didn't count--and left. This was my first visit, and unfortunately, likely my last. (This place had 5-star potential when I first arrived, but the staff interaction left miserable)

The atmosphere is dark and moody with an intimate, cozy feel that makes it a great spot for a late-night drink or a low-key dinner. I ordered the burger, which comes as two slightly smaller patties on a potato bun, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The cheese was perfectly melted with almost a steamed texture, the meat was fantastic, and the whole thing was simple, balanced, and incredibly satisfying. Honestly, it might be my favorite burger in Portland. At $22 for the two burgers, it's not exactly cheap. I had thought there might be a late-night food discount Sunday through Thursday, but that doesn't seem to be the case. That said, the quality of the burger helps justify the price. Service was good throughout, and parking is standard street parking. Overall, Expatriate is a great spot with a standout burger and a cool, intimate vibe. Definitely worth visiting if you're looking for an excellent burger in a cocktail-forward setting.
