Small but comfy. Staff was great. Excellent drink options with a wide array. Had many of the apps first and all were great, mushrooms-yum, pickled deviled eggs, nice cheese board. Great entrees . Boulibas read more

Wow what a cool experience in the upstairs whiskey library here! It has a lively but not overcrowded atmosphere, with great decor, portraits of important contributors, and a stunning shelf along the back walls with an insane number of liquors. The service was extremely friendly. The bartenders upstairs take your orders at the table. They make shaken drinks at the bar and stirred drinks tableside, which was neat. The classic old fashioned was really well balanced, and enjoyed the fruitiness from the fresh orange peel. The espresso martini was also delicious! Great experience overall. read more

I've been here several times and I've never been disappointed, other than the chocolate cake being sold out every time. Great drinks. Good atmosphere. I've always been able to walk in and get a table. Decent amount of food options, this is a great place to grab drinks or a light dinner. Highly recommend read more

Date: Friday. February 28th, 2025 Time: around 5:30pm *HH Manhattan ($12) *Manhattan Rye ($15) *1.5 Oban 14yr ($21): neat Ended up meeting a huge group of friends for happy hour. They had already been there for a while and had a large table in The Green Room. Since seating was limited, I sat off to the side with another friend to catch up. HH specials were still going on, so I got a manhattan. From our bill, it looks like it's a $3 discount for their HH version vs the normal rye version. The hubby and his friend sat at the main table and grabbed pours of scotch. Pricing wasn't horrible for the oban 14. I'm not quite sure the difference between the green room and the actual multnomah whiskey library. Our bill stated the library, so I know they are all connected somehow. If I ever find myself back in Portland, would love to visit the actual library upstairs. REVIEW #3722 read more

Great cozy place for a quick bite and a few drinks. They had a lengthy list of whiskey, for those who enjoy and several different wines. They had happy hour deals as well. It's definitely a cozy place and could see it getting packed, so plan a visit accordingly. Wish we had a place like this nearby (since we live in TX)! read more

Great place to stop in for a drink. We are members at the Library so while waiting for dinner tables the Green room is the spot. The staff is the best. They are knowledgeable and friendly. Test or ask about drinks and they will make you something special. Next time you're downtown Portland, stop in. read more

$12 mocktail that had less to drink than a soda can. Probably worst value in town. That drink was finished in 2 gulps. Ambience is ok - it's a small place Doesn't make me want to come back to try anything else here. The alcoholic drinks were fine (pricing is around $14 to $19 for most) from the few sips I tried. read more

Cute little neighborhood bar with a good selection of craft cocktails. They also serve food and munchies! Their happy hour is fro 4-6pm and again from 9pm to close.

**Note: this ground-floor bar is separated from the Whiskey Library which is located on the floor directly above. There are many photos on this Yelp page for the Green Room which are actually photos of the Whiskey Library. Know that these are separate spaces with different decors** My kid, her beau and I visited The Green Room briefly as we waited for our names to be called for the Whiskey Library upstairs (you need to put your name on a waitlist for the Library with the hostess here at the Green Room). The palette here is... you guessed it....primarily green. The lighting is dim, the decor is traditional (wood finishes and green subway tiles), traditional bar are at the rear of the room, live plants at the top of the war's wall shelving (more greenery). Very cozy and warm, and the bar is impressive. Not fancy per se but cozy and welcoming. Here's the deal: what I love most about the Green Room is its commitment to community support. Every quarter they donate funds to a worthy local organization. When we visited, that quarter they were donating $2500 to the Raphael House which services survivors of domestic violence. I really love that devotion to community, and if I lived in Portland, I would be regularly supporting this place. Kudos to the Green Room! read more

Pros: - Bartender is awesome! Great job in recommending and making drinks based on your preference and mood. Had a great time trying to challenge them as well - Both the food and drinks were great! Was surprised that by how good the food was since i'm more use to speakeasy places w/ good drinks and some plain snacks - Great environment and not too loud so you can have conversations with your company w/o needing to shout Cons: - Gets busy during hot hours and would need to wait in line - Does not get you access to the Multanah Library that's next door - Limited seating so might not be good for groups that are too big Overall - Love this place and would return again and again! read more

The Multnomah Whiskey Library's de facto 'waiting room' (hence the name) may just be a solid standalone cocktail destination in and of itself. Ish. Ducked in for a quick nightcap and was so enchanted we may have overstayed our welcome. You enter what looks a generic wooden office door and the space, though narrow, feels instantly impressive: crazy tall cove ceiling with a cool mural/detail, ginormous windows looking out onto Alder, low key, dim lighting and a magnificent wall of liquor towering toward the back of the room - also lit very purposefully. It's a nice back alley vibe, sorta old-timey but without being divey, and it's not too fancy ( though folks did look kinda dressed up the night we were there). It's definitely is not your average neighborhood tavern either; for one thing that crazy patterned wall paper is something else. The place got pretty crowded by 10pm on a Friday night and the big bar is loaded to the gills with any spirit you might possibly need, with a cocktail program that's well thought out and sporting plenty of creative options. (I highly recommend the Sin-Cyn). Our servers went above and beyond in describing every facet of the cocktail ingredients (or whiskey) and although we didn't eat, the food being served at tables around us looked pretty damn good too. Seems they share a lot of menu items with the Whiskey Library just upstairs, so you're in luck. Seriously, next time somebody suggests the MWL, I'm just gonna stay downstairs at the Green Room - it's less stuffy anyway, and a lovely escape in the middle of downtown. read more

This is right below the Multnomah Whiskey Library. It's a cool place to hangout while you wait to get in to the library. It's a small space with all green decor, hence the name. The service was fast and the servers constantly kept checking in on us. We tried the eggnog and the kir royale cocktails and both were really good. We also tried fries with lemon pepper aioli that was to die for and some rosemary Parmesan popcorn. Being from Chicago, I wasn't a fan of the popcorn but apparently it's quite popular. Overall a chill place to sip on your cocktails before heading to the library. read more

We stumbled into this lovely bar over a year ago trying to go to the whiskey library upstairs. Had some drinks and the chocolate cake and it won me over. The decor is great. They made a very tasty lions tail which can be hard to find. This cake tho. It's what I want when I crave chocolate cake. Fast forward to a year of dreaming about this cake and we went back this past October. We ate dinner there this time too and finally made it upstairs to the whiskey library for the second half of our meal and more cake and drinks! The library was really cool too but I'd be happy just going to the Green Room. I don't have pics of everything we ate but this gnocchi was so good we got a second order of it. Service has always been great and both times we went were very enjoyable nights. But definitely get the cake! read more

Both visits sitting at the bar, the bartender would intentionally take her time before helping me. She would chat with other staff, poke around and do nothing important, while making sure I knew that I should be grateful for her almighty attention. Then her greeting was, "Are you set?" WTF!? Not a good evening or welcome or hello; who greets a customer with, "Are You Set?", uh yeah , set to leave you, you almighty drink server! I overlooked this the first time as an anomaly. But it happened again the next week. Doubt I'll be back, I mean why would I spend money there when Jake's Grill nearby treats customers like kings! read more

One of the best alcohol type experiences I've had. The level and variety the mixologist provides; over the top. We went through a couple drinks recommended by one of the bartenders and super impressed. The complexity of flavors as well as the choices available is never ending. Make reservations well in advance try for the bar second floor. We also tried the scallops and the oysters and both highly recommend it especially with the old fashion with Forester, We also had some type of mushroom Sherry drink and it went absolutely perfect with the scallops. read more

A group of friends and I came to visit the Whiskey Library. The library was full so we needed to wait in the Green Room until the library could receive us. The green room has a long community table sitting in the middle of the room, some tables off to the side, and a decent sized bar. I don't remember seeing a TV in this room. The bartender came from behind the bar and took our orders. The drinks were good and the service was fast. read more

Gorgeous environment that appeases the eyes. Very kind staff and although I didn't try the food, the drinks were excellent!

I came here looking to get into the Multnomah Whiskey Library (MWL) which is the floor above The Green Room. I was told the wait for MWL would be about an hour so I thought it would be a great time to try some drinks here. I had the old pal ($13) which was a dry drink that was really strong. I was in the middle of my drink when the person at the front desk said that there was a spot at the bar in MWL so I quickly finished my drink and closed out. It kind of caught me by surprise and I wish I could've tried more drinks here but that will be for another time. If you find yourself in a position where you're about to wait a while until you can get into MWL, The Green Room is a nice place to grab a drink before you get in. Or if you want to ditch the wait altogether this is a great place to go to get a similar experience. read more

Love coming here for a cocktail and an appetizer. The shrimp cocktail and fried calamari were excellent. The whiskey flight and mezcal old fashioneds were some of the best in the city. Service is a bit slow due to limited staffing but it gives you more time to enjoy your cocktail and catch up with friends. The vibe is early 20th century library or speakeasy and very comfortable. read more

We came here to get a few drinks while we were waiting to get up to Multnomah whiskey library. We had an old fashion and high baller both, which we really enjoyed. All the bartenders were very kind and the space has a really nice aesthetic. My one comment would be their menus are not accurate. Some of the prices on the menu have been updated on their end, but not on the menu yet. The menus were also inconsistent, some showing different whiskeys than others. Otherwise, a great experience. read more

Drinks and decor were great but foodservice was an absurd waiting time. I don't think it takes 45 min to shuck a dozen of oysters with a room that's half empty on a Saturday night. Told them to remove the order and to close the check and it was given back rudely. Not even an apology. Save your time and just go for the drinks. read more

This was the last stop on me and my SO eating and drinking adventure in Portland. Our intention was to go to the Multnomah Whiskey Library, but it was a Saturday night at 10:30pm, so the wait was 3-4 hours. The hostess informed us The Green Room was open seating, so we hawked a table of folks leaving. A waiter made his way around and took our orders. I had the Rose City Rumble and my SO had the Strapped For Cash. Drinks came out pretty quick. I learned I'm not too much of a rose liqueur fan, but finished the craft cocktail anyways. The SFC was pretty good. We ordered a second round which took a little bit longer than the first, but the place was packed. I had the house old fashioned and he had the house Manhattan. Both cocktails were good, but nothing mind blowing. We'll perhaps try for the MWL again if we come up for a Warriors vs. Blazers game. Although they have a decently priced pairing menu at TGR that I would mind trying. Cheers! read more

Make reservations for upstairs, because the bar downstairs is terrible. We stopped in on a whim, and at 6pm we were offered a 9:30pm seating upstairs. Rather than wait 3.5hrs or leave, we decided to have some drinks and a bite at the bar downstairs. We were sitting right in front of two hip bartenders, who clearly would prefer that we weren't there. It seems they're busy/focused on making drinks for the restaurant and would prefer not to have to serve the customers sitting right in front of them. Of course this makes for a painful experience for the people sitting at the bar. Then some toity manager type guy started harassing one of our bartenders about "are you on break, or not?" which caused some argument that a customer should never have to hear. That was enough for us - we wanted to stay for dinner and drinks but couldn't bear to sit there any longer. Why would I buy $16 drinks and $140 steaks to be treated like this? No thanks. My $0.02: make reservations for upstairs and pray that the service and team culture is better than we had. read more

My boyfriend's brother recommended that we check out the Multnomah Whiskey Library when we were in town, and we were surprised to find this cool bar below it! It still has kind of a "library" feel to it, and it was a really cool place. We were seated at the long communal table in the middle of the floor, and here there was something really cool about sharing a big long table with people we didn't know. As for the drinks, we were impressed! My boyfriend had the Old Fashioned (which he really enjoyed) and I had one of their featured cocktails, which was excellent, though I can't remember what it was called :( This is a perfect place to go if you are waiting for a reservation at the Library, or if you want quality drinks in a more casual setting. They have a huge selection of liquor, so I think anyone would find something they like! read more

The Green Room is basically a waiting room for The Library. People who didn't make a reservation have to wait a looooong time before getting called. People can walk up the stairs and take a peek but can't sit down. I will not disclose what the library feels like or looks like... The Green Room is a small space bar with limited seating. It's a tight spaced room. The cocktail menu is short but does have a couple unique drinks and snacks. They have a good amount of liquor on stock so if you're not feeling the lightweight stuff, go for the strong ones. It's not as classy as I thought it'd be? Instead it's laid back like the rest of the bars. I ordered an old fashioned with chocolate bitters and some whiskey I forgot the name of. Otherwise my cocktail was great. I'd def come back before heading inside the library. This is a nice pre-game setup lol read more

Dont get confused by some of these pics. The green room is like the lobby for the multanah whiskey library. With that being said the library is membership unless come and there is free space, so the green room is the only but excellent alternative... The drinks are amazing! Like I said the space is small and limited as well. I really wish they expanded the green room, because great cocktail bars like this is not that common, and this is one of the better ones I have been to, and I'm from chicago! read more
