    We always try to stop by Dead Man's Isle when we are coming through Astoria because we enjoy it so much. Always fun drinks and good food. This time we got to try the new Japanese whiskey bar located upstairs. There are 4 stools to sit at the bar and a small area to stand. As with the Tiki Bar downstairs, it is always good to make reservations, especially on the weekend. Our bartender was awesome. He explained the different Japanese cocktails and whiskey. There are many different ones to try depending on your likes. You can also order a Tiki drink from downstairs as well as food. My husband got a refreshing highball and a whiskey neat to try. He enjoyed both. I got the Mutant Skull cocktail. It was delicious and served in one of their locally made mugs. As for food I got the pork fried rice, which seemed to be a never ending bowl of deliciousness. I also appreciated the fun hot sauce and chili condiments up in the Japanese bar to try. My husband got the Loco Moco. It comes with a savory curry gravy which kicks it up a notch from just the standard brown gravy. I would order both again. Don't forget to check out the locally made tiki mugs for sale in the case and the tiki mug vending machine in the back.

    If you like whiskey, Alchemy Lounge is a treat. If, as with my wife you don't go near the stuff -…read moreit's still a great place for cocktails and tasty eats. I have a few bottles of "the good stuff" stashed around my house that I always say I'll open during a special occasion - which never seems to arrive . It so happens that Alchemy has an extensive whiskey list which included a couple of my "reserve" bottles. This was the perfect opportunity for me to taste them. I had a flight of three delicious bourbon pours, THEN was told about a special rye whiskey which, well, I had to try as well. So much fun, I enjoyed each of my pours at a cost that didn't break my piggy bank. Meanwhile, my wife loved her mango margarita. We also had the ceviche and the smoked crab dip - the crab dish was especially good. All in all, a memorable evening. Recommended!

The menu doesn't match the one online but I still wanted to give it a shot. My husband got the burger and there is no other option than the side salad for it-- why no fries or something? Also when my husband ordered the burger the waitress said how would he like it cooked- he said medium. She says good that's usually how the cook does it anyways. It came out cooked all the way through. We were the only two people there. The board was good, drinks were very very mid. The restaurant itself has great potential but honestly the menu doesn't match and I felt 80$ didn't justify our dinner.

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.

Took a seat at the bar and was greeted promptly. Looked over the menu and decided on the smoked angels envy old fashioned. It was happy hour so I got the half wedge salad. Was not a traditional wedge but was really good. For my main I got the lomo saltado, mole rubbed steak tips with onions, peppers, French fries over rice. Was a wild mix of stuff. Steak pieces were pretty small but full of flavor and the sauce over the whole thing was delicious. Was worried the fries would be soggy but the sauce made them better. Sopped up the sauce with the rice and fries. Amazing. Asked for a margarita to go with the meal, seemed appropriate. Sat at the bar so service was good, kept water full and checked in repeatedly Was a great time and great food

That note aside, the Happy Hour menu was great, food was absolutely fantastic and the wait staff was on point! I loved the lineup of sexy NA drinks in addition to the unique cocktails and solid wine lineup. Unfortunately the acoustics were outdated as was the interior overall. It needed some freshening up for a Hilton. The outdoor seating could only accommodate groups of two which was a bummer. Those points aside, everything we sampled tasted fantastic and the wait staff made the experience fun.

Walked in around 5 pm on Monday. They were able to accomdate us with caveat we would need to be done by 6, which worked for us as we wanted drinks and a small snack. They did not rush us even with the time constraint. We ended up getting the lodge and the foggy notion. Both were good - I preferred the lodge as it allowed one to taste the whisky more. Most places at least in Seattle have a large ice cube with very little alcohol. This one you actually had room all around the ice cube and volume wise is worth the price in my personal opinion. There were very well done cocktails. The table next to us ordered one of everything on the food menu and we wish we had done the same as everything looked very good but alas we have reservations for dinner already.

I chose the Saville Painkiller Cobbler which was very similar to Piña Colada with Ube. The drink was such a pretty purple shade, dusted with purple sweet potato/taro powder, and served in a Pineapple shaped glass - so aesthetically pleasing and very easy on the palate! My husband got the Pandan Old Fashioned which was very delicious as well - silky, sweet, boozy with a strong Pandan forward profile. For snacks, we got the Shrimp Chips and the Whipped Ricotta with Soppressata that comes with a generous portion of 4 slices of Rustic bread. The shrimp chips were humongous and so light, airy and crispy with a delicate shrimp flavor. The presentation on the whipped ricotta was so beautiful, and it tasted so good with the Calabrian chili and Soppressata! Portland has no shortage of amazing cocktail bars, and this is another place I would come back to if I ever find myself in Portland again!

The snack mix was delicious, I could have eaten a whole bag of it. I wish we had had more time to spend in the upstairs bar. It had a Godzilla theme and I honestly would have started my visit up there if I had known. Bartenders downstairs did encourage us to go up and check it out but there's gotta be a better way to let people know how cool it is upstairs right as they first walk in the door.
