This place has a multitude of settings that culminate in a unique, fun and memorable place... and it fits so perfectly in North Portland. The inside space is reminiscent of a standard dive bar. It reminds me of the old days when people could still smoke inside in Portland! I opted to sit in one of the outdoor alcoves and it was very cozy. The picnic table bench had been wired so that the seat was heated. The server was really kind and offered to turn on the fire feature that was located on top of the table. Despite it being very cold outside, it was plenty cozy. The server made a drink recommendation, and I indulged. Overall, I was really impressed by the elaborate thoughtfulness of the outdoor space and pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service that accompanied my visit. read more

This place has a very interesting patio area with semi private tables in shipping containers reminiscent of cabanas. Each one has a propane tank that heats bench pads - great in winter. The staff were friendly and food came out quick! Little bacon corn dogs were heavily battered looking like a hush puppy, still delicious! Smash burger was so thick...more like a thin burger - good, but not great. I got the side salad, which has a tasty dressing. Catfish sliders were solid - good presentation, crispy batter. read more

First they hide the entrance around back, instead of having it on the main street of Lombard, if you don't know you end up walking around three quarters of the building twice. Secondly, during my visit there was only one server to cover the large main room as well as the popular outdoor patio, making getting any kind of real service unlikely. This is not the fault of the server, but management for not having an additional server. Every time I wanted to talk with the server about the menu, or ask any type of questions, the server always seemed too busy to help me, and was generally abrupt and disinterested in offering assistance. If you want my business please hire additional and more courteous staff. Additionally the place is very dark inside, making reading the menus, with very tiny type fonts, very difficult. Please use a larger type font, maybe print on both sides of the menu to allow for larger type fonts. read more

Delicious burger and good drink options. I really liked the outdoor seating too, covered and heater options. Service was decently fast too given it was a busy day. read more

Probably one of the best Happy Hours out there. The food is solid and generally consistent. The HH sliders are good portion and definitely recommend.

Tiny Bubble Room - HH sliders, HH hush puppies, Daily Beer Special - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The food is great. The service is good. And the management sucks because they don't think there's anything wrong with their bathrooms that are full of mold, mildew, and dried pee all over their urinals. Plus they smell. And then the manager/bartender gets mad at me for asking them about it. And all of a sudden it's my fault because he says I'm too loud and I'm affecting his customers. Their bathrooms are the worst bathrooms of any place in the entire town of St John's, and it's my fault. I don't think so. It's important for me to tell people that I am an old restaurant/bartender perfectionist. There's absolutely no excuse for the way their bathrooms are. They should be ashamed. read more

Hands down the best happy hour in Portland. Nice cocktails, great Cajun-style food, and great service. The HH truly delivers, you can split 2-3 plates with a friend and be very satisfied. Our go-tos are always: roasted cauliflower, catfish sliders, and mini corn dogs. read more

This is a nice spot for some good southern food in NoPo. The front is a bit uninviting, but the inside is large and spacious and around back they have pods with heated benches and fires to keep warm. read more

The food is some of the best, You will find anywhere in Portland .I had the pork and green sandwich and it was well made with a delicious side of pork vinaigrette period the bread was toasted and very fresh. The pork juicy, and perfectly seasoned, the real surprise it had collard greens. And I could have sworn, I was down south in Texas. My friend enjoyed a catfish sandwich. She gave me a taste of it and again. Good down south cooking came to mind. Our cervost, Jack and he could not have been more attentive and cheerful period really a fun and professional person. We stayed quite a while and enjoyed an incredible evening! When Jack signed off at 7, Indigo became our server and she was equally a delight! Peter the a manager is often there at the front door .He will greet you with a warm smile and make you feel right at home. I have to tell you I went three more times that week.Had the rice and beans and enjoyed the cornbread and couldn't resist.another pulled pock sandwich.It's my favorite place to go for lunch or dinner read more

What a cool place with awesome Cajun food!!! We got the hush puppies, gumbo, and estuffee. They were all delicious, spicy and the perfect about of crisp. The mezcal drink was also delicious. They have decent amount of parking in the parking lot and street when we got there Sunday late afternoon. I love the graffiti art in the shipping containers. The service was good, and the food came out fast. I am definitely returning. It is a cool vibe with the outdoor seating with heating at each table. read more

Big place, seating inside, covered outside with gas table heaters and privacy between many tables. Cajun dishes are very good for bar food, and they have quite a large selection of drafts. read more

Food was excellent as was the service, highly knowledgeable service staff, great value! I will make it a point to come here when I'm in Portland. read more

While the food wasn't terrible, it was still the worst Nashville hot chicken sandwich I've had. The patty was pretty puny, and the sauce was not Nashville hot at all, more like a spiced bbq & no heat. However the space is cool, lots of seating both indoors and outside these cool converted shipping containers. Not a bad place to get some drinks w/ friends and share some snacks, they got a pretty large menu and good HH offerings from 3-5. read more

Friendly service and a great vibe all over the place. Love that the outdoor seating pods have heated benches. Food is great as well but I don't know what is wrong with their idea of a beignet. They were soaked in oil, burned on the outside and greasy mush on the inside, no powered sugar in sight, served in a bowl of grease. I can't say they were the worst beignets I've ever had because they weren't even beignets. The deconstructed key lime pie was amazing! Take the "beignets" off the menu, guys. read more

I've wanted to try for a while but living in sw suburbs it's a bit of a trek. But I got my opportunity and didn't regret it. I started with the sliders, corn dogs and hush puppies. Catfish sliders were good. Just spicy enough to avoid that muddy flavor. Good size hunks of fish too. The pulled pork ones were good but I agree with fellow helpers that it needs a sauce. The corn dogs were really fun. Though they would be too salty but they were just right. The hush puppies were huge. They were on happy hour so what the heck. I found out mid meal that someone else was footing the bill so I wanted the jambalaya. The owner also owns roscoes so I asked the waiter if it was the same as Roscoes, he claimed it was better. It was not better. I can't put my finger on why. It was good but not better than Roscoes. I love the space. The outdoor area made of shipping containers and the little warmer things on the tables. So much fun. Service was a little inconsistent but I'll bet it's tricky to manage that outdoor space. Solid food, lots of good drinks and a fun space. I recommend. read more

Tiny Bubble Room - Mini Mac, pork sliders, & gumbo w/ sweet corn bread. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Always good service here with reasonable prices for the food. Get the cauliflower--it's outstanding. The cornbread is always great. I don't love the gumbo, jambalaya or red beans and rice. It's just not my food. The veggies are always good. It can be loud inside, so we enjoy the heated outdoor area. I'll always mourn the now closed Swift and Union. But the RBR helps replace my favorite Kenton restaurant. read more

Great menu, cool vibes. There are lots of big tables, it's a good place to play cards or board games

Mac N' Cheese is delicious! I ordered the happy hour "Mini" Mac N' Cheese, literally took 2 bites and had to stop to leave a review! I don't do reviews often, but OMG! read more

Tiny Bubble Room - Mini Mac n Cheese - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

A couple of times I passed by this bar/restaurant and finally when I viewed the web site, the pictures in side and out side looked very interesting. The menu looks amazing, I had to try this place out! Went in on a Saturday and sat out on the patio, very nice area and clean, the waitress said it was open seating and the menu is on the QR code on the table. I had already decided what I wanted, ordered the Czech Pils and it tastes so good! For an appetizer I ordered the Fried Green Tomato sliders but request no bun which the waitress said "not a problem". The basil pesto aioli was so good. I am not one for raw onions but these pickled red onions were great. Fried green tomatoes were actually my first time ever eating and thoroughly enjoyed every bite! Next ordered the Pimento burger with no bun, this is were things changed, the hamburger patty was so over cooked and thin that some of the beef was crunchy. The pimento cheese is made in house along with the red pepper habanero jelly and both were delish! I substituted and had house made Cole slaw which was so good! I did order gumbo and jambalaya with chicken and sausage to take to my elderly mother as a to go. When I got the food home to her she opened each container and each order was amazing! I will defiantly go back and order something else on the menu and I am sure that I will enjoy the food and beer and this great bar/restaurant! I have found a new place to worth going back too! read more

TBR is perfect when you want a nice cocktail and tasty, fatty southern food. The bar features a dark interior, in case you're having an affair, and lots of outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and efficient. This and Backyard Social are my go-to's in NoPo. read more

This is the perfect spot for summer happy hour! There is plenty of outdoor seating, and if you can secure one of their storage container style spaces, there is the option to turn on an open flame for additional warmth. The portion sizes on the happy hour menu are extremely generous. Drinks and four dishes totaled to under $60 total for two people, and it was more than enough food. Our personal favorite was the Catfish slider. The fish was perfectly breaded and fried, and there were some pickled vegetables that balanced the slider out. The Hush puppies were decent, but I actually enjoyed dipping them in the Gumbo more than the provided "sweet and sour" style dipping sauce. The Gumbo itself was pretty salty, but the cornbread provided alongside itself was buttery and crumbly. The drinks were EXTREMELY strong, so they are definitely not for the faint of heart. I wish that they were a little more balanced, but overall, the price could not be beat! read more

Some dishes stand out more than others. The roasted cauliflower and brussels sprouts are solid, but the hushpuppies? Not so much. But their catfish sandwich is pretty good, and the sauce they serve with the hushpuppies is actually great. Drinks are cheap, $7 for a Negroni is hard to beat, even if it's a little heavy on the vermouth. The overall vibe of the place is what keeps us coming back. It's warm and cozy, with good music and movies on the TV, and the service is always solid. For the price and atmosphere, it's a place I'll keep going back to, even if the food is a little hit or miss. read more

Abosutley great happy hour 3-5pm!! We sat on the patio for one of the final nice days of the fall. Great selection of small plates to share for all of us. Cajun tots, Fried green tomato sliders, roasted cauli and Mac and cheese-all around $6. There are many more options. A glass of bubbles $7 and beer and cider of the day $4! but again offering several select mixed drinks for $7. A great way to spend a few hours on the patio. It was crowded with dogs and lots of friends at the picnic tables. Will be back next summer. read more

Cool spot to hang out! They have a big outdoor space, a couple tables with a gas fire in the middle, and then individual cubbies with fun graffiti. Inside was busy and noisy, so if looking for a quiet atmosphere, I don't think this is your jam. The waitress that greeted us was super on it, and had us drinks in no time. Quick to fill the food order. We had Cajun tots and cornbread with whipped butter. Cajun tots were soft on the inside that it easily separated with the fork, and the ranch sauce was nummy! The cornbread was moist, the only thing is I would have liked was more butter with the cornbread. The drink Regret Me Not tasted like a light lemonade, and I would get that again. Want to come back and try some of their southern foods. read more

Absolutely love the outdoor seating and innovative use of shipping containers. The patio is one of the best in Portland. The food was good Bar food. The chicken tenders were clearly hand battered and tasty. I thought that the jalapeño ranch dipping sauce had way too much dill and after one dip, I gave up on it The one complaint we had was that the service was pretty slow. Even though the sign said to wait to be seated, after standing there for five minutes someone finally saw us and told us to sit anywhere we want it. then it took another 10 minutes for someone to come take our drink order and another 10 or 15 minutes for that drink to be delivered. while we were waiting for our food and drinks, there was at least two separate parties of three or four people which sat down and then left after 10 minutes of waiting with out having an order taken. The servers were very friendly but not sure why the wait times were so long. read more

i can't get enough of tiny bubble room. i discovered TBR when a friend suggested it for lunch! when we arrived at noon we were the only people inside. the host/bartender was so kind & welcoming. we ordered some drinks, i got the TBR mule which is now my personal favorite. it's so refreshing & delish. i've tried a number of food items but my favorite, hands down, is the buffalo cauliflower. i call it "my favorite cauliflower" now. it's delicious with the buffalo sauce & blue cheese. the cauliflower is cooked to perfection every time. i love the mini corn dogs as well! they were super flavorful, had a great snap when you bit into it and awfully cheesy! the pulled pork sliders were outstanding as well! the mac & cheese is on my list to try when it gets a bit cooler. i love the atmosphere inside & outside. in the wintertime the benches outside have heated seats & they put tabletop fire pits out. it's a lovely little experience. pricing is super good, imo, for the quality, quantity and service! if you haven't been to tbr, i highly HIGHLY recommend. you won't regret it! read more

Just got back. Service was excellent. The outdoor seating is awesome. Heated pads on the picnic seating is fantastic. Again, great service from the waitress! The food. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower, the pulled pork sliders and the dirty Mac n cheese. The buffalo cauliflower had way too much vinegar. It was decent but strong. Pork sliders need some type of sauce, it's really dry. The mac n cheese had no cheese sauce. I couldn't detect any cheese. It was pretty good but wasn't really a Mac n cheese. Will go back and ask which items to order on the next trip. read more

I like that their menu has a variety of options to choose from, particularly some good salad options. I ordered the kale salad which was well balanced. The hush puppies were very tasty though I wish there was a honey sauce rather than the red pepper jelly it came with. My partner ordered the smash burger but the patty was burnt to a crisp and probably should have never been put on a plate. The waitress never came back to check on us after ordering so there was no opportunity to address any issues or ask for anything additional. read more

Bartender was friendly, awesome lineup of drafts, happy hour specials, with a chill ambience!

i never noticed it before since it is black & isn't eye catching. went for happy hour here & it was worth it! darker ambience hence the building is black. the cat fish sliders & gumbo was delicious! so flavorful & the cat fish was at a perfect crisp. the mac n' cheese was alright. it was creamy but not enough cheese, it was more milky/sour cream than cheese. will be back for the cat fish & gumbo forsure! staff was average. read more
