EaterJanuary 8, 2014Pairs expertly mixed cocktails with an Asian-inflicted take on drinking food. This may be the only place where crab rangoon can sit alongside James Beard's onion-and-butter sandwich. [Eater 38 Member]
Call seven of your favorite people and grab the comfy round booth in back. Sip on amazing cocktails, devour some delicious appetizers, and chat it up over candlelight. Perfect night
Shawn CookJune 15, 2018The drinks are EXCELLENT! The food is delicious. Try the nachos and burger. The place is cool and chic. Pictures of Prince sealed the deal. Also, they play ALBUMS of diverse, good music too.
J.M. StringerMarch 15, 2014My new favorite place to eat and drink in NE Portland. Food is terrific, drinks are creative and cool...and the music (an unappreciated part of the experience) is well curated and played via vinyl.
Brian LongtinMarch 14, 2023Several cocktails ordered, all excellent, plus the nachos and don’t skip the burgers (how do they pack so much flavor into such a simple preparation!?)
- HarreldNovember 1, 2014Strongest endorsement. Early before loud crowds best. Order freely for food and drink. This is the space to watch for the Next.
Nicole MontemaranoMay 17, 2022And after 10 p.m., the thing to get is their Expatriate Nachos, which are wonton chips with Thai chili cheese sauce and lemongrass beef
Sara JoyJune 29, 2017Delicious and interesting mixed drinks. Bar is run by the husband of Naomi Pomeroy, James Beard award-winning chef, who runs Beast.
Jessica SandstromJanuary 30, 2014Love this place. Friendly service from start to finish and the best whiskey sour I've had yet. Will definitely be coming back
PeterJuly 7, 2015Great range of cocktails inside an intimate lounge, soundtracked by phenomenal hip hop playing on vinyl.
Everything on the menu is great, but be sure to try the Tea Leaf Salad and The Shanghai. Doth are exceptional.- Jenny L.December 29, 2015Fantastic cocktails and interesting looking food menu. Good place to drink before going to Beast
Jessica ShimAugust 13, 2014Bon Appetit says: Beef tartare with sunchoke; mussels escabeche on toast; ricotta dumplings; panna cotta
Cusp25March 16, 2015Great cocktails and drinking snacks- shrimp toast and Brussel sprout salad were amazing
Shin Woo KimApril 19, 2018Last year, everithing is good. but tonight everithing is bad. I never visit again.
Ingrid BorlandJuly 27, 2017Amazing refreshing cocktails! The shrimp toast, asian broccoli and corn dog. The shrimp toast was memorable.
- Michael Blank-DelaneySeptember 5, 2013Awesome cocktails! The Chinese corndog and shrimp toast were amazing.
Liz CostaSeptember 2, 2015Asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail and the bartender made me a delicious drink and they didn't overcharge!

Dan WinterbergDecember 27, 2014Cocktails are across-the-board fantastic. Shrimp toast is super tasty & spicy.
John PastorAugust 6, 2014Stop in for a drink before heading across the street for a French prix fixe meal at Beast.
Brook ShelleyAugust 28, 2016Shrimp burrito was nice but the service was slow to the point of "are they ignoring us cuz we're not bros?"
Chris CampbellAugust 23, 2014The bartenders have pretty incredible knowledge. Let them create something custom for you.
The Royal Hawaiian. Not cheap but man, is it a good drink.
tasty but overpriced. however the nachos are some of the best
Alide AmickNovember 27, 2015Nicht ganz nach meinem Geschmack eingerichtet, aber die Cocktails sind der Hammer. Wahnsinn!
