    If you enjoy G-love be sure to check out their sister restaurant! It has a similar concept to their next door restaurant but has a more simplified menu to enjoy. We didn't come with a reservation but were able to get seated immediately at one of their outdoor tables with heaters. I was checking out their menu ahead of time but it seems they may rotate it so be sure to check it out before you come if you're looking for something specific. On the menu we had they also had some drinks that they were going to give a portion to for a local charity. The menu is smaller and meant to be shared so we almost ordered a majority of the menu. haha + Oysters + Royal Shack burger + Fries + Mushroom skewer + Chips & dip + Ilocos empanaga + Brown Butter Delica My favorites were definitely the empanada, mushroom skewer, and squash. Love the textures of the different items and the flavors. We definitely ordered a little too much and has some leftovers but it was worth trying everything.

    Yummy drinks & vibes.

    The Love Shack was super cute, good vibes and yummy drinks. My friends and I had a great time and service was also great.

    I love oysters and overpriced cockys, The Love Shack fit the bill!! Stopped by on a Saturday around 6 PM, ambitious without a reservation but we were able to snag a table for 2 outside. The interior of this spot is cutie! It's tiny, moody, and a complete vibe. It's like an upscale tiki bar. Outdoors has a little less to be desired but there was a heater and service was just as attentive. We had the ultimate girl dinner. Started with a dozen oysters, that were perfectly paired with lemon, tabasco, and their greek mignonette. 12 oysters will run ya around $50. The little gem wedge salad was tasty! The miso-caesar and blue cheese crumble is a match made in heaven. Lastly, the flight of fries was fun. The different textures of fries and the assortment of dips makes it a great shareable item. The spicy calabrian aioli is next level. Now...the cocktails!! They have a pretty elaborate cocktail menu featuring a wide range of house cocktails, the classics, and a good about of N/A proof options. We absolutely loved the "eyes without a face". It's a vodka based drink with ginger, thai chili, lychee, lemongrass and lime. We ended up ordering 2 rounds! House cocktails run from $17 - $22 - pretty average in the bay area so it didn't bug me. I feel like Portland gets pricey with these fancy shmancy spots but worth every penny!

    I love love shack, I've gone there numerous times now. When they first opened, the food portions were really small and I was sort of annoyed. They've really honed in on their menu now though, and I like the options a lot more. They have happy hour the first and last hour of service. The place is small so reservations are recommended. The crusty avocado with ahi is really good. The dip with roe is really good. The ribeye skewers are good. They have non alcoholic options too, which is perfect. The service is always great. The vibe is like a small, classy tiki bar. It's so cute and good for girls nights or date nights.

    Tiny place, but so cute! We didn't have reservations but they were able to sit us at the bar. The "press button" door they have to be able to move their drink carts and food out of the kitchen is convenient but the constant use of it (which it makes sense!!) bothered me haha I'm sensitive to repetitive noise. Also, the cold air from behind the door, with the warmth of inside the restaurant kept making me hot and cold. Anyway, the Bloody Mary was FIRE, perfect heat, and particular taste I can't put my finger on, but in a good way! My friend had the Irish coffee and said it was insanely good. He ordered the croissant sandwich, which was perfection, there's nothing I can honestly say they could add or remove. We ordered a side of bacon, because bacon is life, perfectly crispy. The brioche doughnuts I thought would need a dipping sauce, sure didn't, they were so good! Wellness shots have liquor in them, I got the ginger/turmeric vodka one, so good, and healthy right?? Now, the Dungeness crab Benedict, was so disappointing!! I can manage heat, but nothing on the menu indicates it comes with a spicy chili oil draped on it. My friend took a bite and was surprised not in a good way. What was odd was there was no flavor to the Benedict, the hollandaise was bland, crab was bland, my friend agreed, I'm not sure how that happens! Poached egg was perfect, and those potatoes!!! Piping hot, so crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Regardless, I will be back, definitely worth going to

    Food, drinks, and staff were great! Really enjoyed the outside seating. Only downside was having to wait over 30 minutes to pay. We finally ended up going to the bar to get our bill.

    Croissant Banh Mi, Tacos, and Sour Cream & Onion Dip

    This is such a cute bar to go to with girl friends or on a date! I came late one evening and had a couple drinks and bites with a friend. The interior of the restaurant is nice: dimly lit and with lots of booths for good conversation. They have a really cool concept here where they bring out small bites on a bar cart and have a bingo card for you to stamp as you try out different foods. Really fun idea as you dine! Service is also very friendly. The food itself consists of classic bar bites as well as some fusion foods. One of my favorites that I tried was their croissant banh mi! All of the drinks that I tried of theirs were also amazing and fun. Loved my time here and I would love to come back with more/different friends!

    Did not see a lot of huggin' and a-kissin', not enough room for dancin' and a-lovin', not set way back in the middle of a field but next to G-Love. Nevertheless a fun vibe for a little old place where you can get together. Some reviewers experienced complimentary Bubbles; we did not. Our server was cordial, went through the script but the dim sum cart was not coming around that day and she simply took out order. Boo. So without the dish cart preview, we were amusingly startled how immature the food was. Their interpretation of dim sum means one or two bites. Modern island decor, tight seating makes this instantly lively when the crowd comes in. Bring your jukeboxoney cause you will spend over $100 for two. Wishing they had some glitter on the front porch.

    What a fun concept - we came on a Thursday night around 8 PM and were seated right away. I tried their house Manhattan - super delicious and generous presentation with a sidecar for under $14 - sold! Their niche is their drink cart that comes around the indoor dining room every 15-20 minutes. The drinks were smaller and at $11 it was fun to grab one or two and try something new. Nothing on the food menu grabbed me so we stayed for drinks only. Great spot for a first date or anniversary or just something fun and different in PDX!

    We stopped in with friends for the first time at Love Shack following a day exploring. We hit the great bottle shop a few doors down, stopped in at 50 Licks and then chilled at the outdoor table and ordered a round of cocktails for four. Comfortable, relaxing and a well made cocktail allowed for downtime and chit chat. The staff was attentive and ensured we had what we needed.

    Pina Colada and a nonalcoholic drink
    Kathy V.

    Very cute bar! Came with two friends and ordered drinks and apps, which was pretty expensive for what we got. The apps were very basic but priced pretty steep. Service was minimal, and the place was pretty busy so I understand. Not sure if I'll be back as there are better places in portland to meet friends at.

    Everything on the menu is so good! The staff were very friendly and explained the menu in detail…read more They had very creative cocktails and a wide selection of small plates that everyone could try what they wanted. Their portions were not too big but also not too small, perfect for sharing. We loved everything we tried but the standouts for me were the mentaiko udon, tempura green beans, and the foraged mushrooms. This place is a little pricey but it is a great restaurant to have special dinners in :)

    Came on a double date, and had made a reservation in advance which I would recommend because it was…read morea full house on a week night. My favorite items of the visit were the sake selection, the whole fried snapper (best bite - amazing), the tuna tartare with furikake chips and caviar, and the super tender beef cheek. The mushroom small plate was also pretty good! I didn't like as much the milk buns, they were just ok and I only liked 1 (rooftop grown chive) of the 3 butter shmears it came with. Wasn't woth $6 per bun. While it was a quality cut of meat, the Snake River Wagyu steak dish needed salt and the sauce below it wasn't as flavorful. Perhaps needed cracked black peppercorn, or something to punch up that flavor. I wasn't as impressed with the octopus salad either. Very scant thin tiny octopus slices on top salad greens with lots of sliced raw bell peppers. You'd think it should be called a bell pepper salad with the amount it had in it, instead of the hard-to-find octopus! I couldn't detect a flavor note of the dressing either. Other dishes we tried were lobster bao buns and the seared scallop on jalepeno grits... they were ok but lacked a little flavor. I could not taste the jalepeno on the scallop dish, and the lobster slices were fairly scant and not very succulent. We split the strawberry mochi cake for dessert and it was fun that they added Pop Rocks on top, but the mochi was too tough and dense. A chiffon cake or something light would've been a nicer alternative to end a rich dinner. Service was excellent, and each person who spoke to us or delivered a dish was beautiful & friendly. Be prepared to share dishes when you come here, about 2/3 per person. Prices are on the higher side but I think it matches with the sophisticated ambiance and quality of food. Lots of free parking in the Cascadia parking lot just outside. Will likely come again down the road, for a date night.

    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.

    We came to Teardrop Cocktail Lounge while visiting Portland and were genuinely impressed…read more The cocktails were excellent -- thoughtful, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who know what they're doing. One of the best parts was how approachable the bartenders were. We asked for custom drinks based on our preferences, and both came out perfectly tailored. Creative without being weird, and strong without being sloppy. What really stood out was the price point. For the quality of cocktails, the prices felt very reasonable compared to similar craft cocktail bars in other cities. The vibe was also great -- relaxed, cozy, and not pretentious. It felt like a place where you could come for a special drink experience without feeling like you had to "perform" or order off a rigid menu. We liked it so much we actually came back a second time during our trip. Highly recommend if you're into well-crafted cocktails, friendly bartenders, and a laid-back but elevated atmosphere.

    Food soooo good I forgot to take a picture! We're visiting from Texas so expectations were high!…read moreAnd we were not disappointed! Starter: Field Green Salad: Sooooo delicious, a perfect summer salad, the apple, pickled shallots, coconut, and tamarind made for a beautiful marriage of flavor. Sweet and a bit sour, bright and light. White curry: 1000000/10. Absolutely perfect. Brisket Fried rice: 8/10. Great smoky flavor, rice a bit too crunchy for my liking but the smokiness reminded me of Nigerian rice so I liked it a lot! Service: Taylor was our server and she was just the cutest and most delightful person. Really made us feel seen and heard and treated us like we were family and gave us great recs for things to do.
