Some of the yummiest cocktails in Portland! I love the Vietnamese inspired cocktails and food. The bartender was the nicest person and I am very eager to go back. I got the Lychee martini and fell in love! Also the garlic noodles are incredible, great dish to share with some drinks or have as a delicious meal. It's a pretty typical cocktail bar atmosphere until around 9-10pm when it becomes more of a club vibe with a great DJ. If you want to chat, definitely go earlier but if you want good music and a lively atmosphere go when their dj has a set. read more

After Ours - Bar Area - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm very excited to have found After Ours, a really great hangout in the Sullivan's Gulch area of NE Portland. My friends and I arrived around 6 PM on a Friday, and spent three hours hanging out and enjoying the vibe. I found a table to the left of the front door, and saved it for the rest of my friends who were arriving shortly. Unfortunately, the blasts of cold air in that spot were a little too much to bear each time the door opened, so as soon as another table came available I grabbed it. The padded bench seats and tables directly across from the bar are where it's at! The seating was comfortable, we had direct access to the bar, there was plenty of room to spread out, and we had fantastic sightlines through the entire space. I love the decor, vinyl library, and the beautiful bar located here. Although I'd had my heart set on pho, I discovered it's only served on specific days. Instead I ordered the garlic noodles with beef and was pleasantly surprised, it was delicious! The portions are very generous as well. After Ours offers several festive and inventive drinks, in addition to the regular fare. We were pleased with the quality of the drinks, the polite wait staff, and the prompt service. I'm looking forward to a return visit! read more

After Ours is easily my favorite bar to visit in Portland for a fun late-night atmosphere. While they do offer brunch, I've only been during their bar hours and the vibe is always on point. The interior has a modern vinyl listening-bar style that feels trendy but still relaxed, making it a great place to hang out with friends or start a night out. On weekend nights they often have live DJ sets, which really elevates the energy and makes the space feel lively without being overwhelming. The cocktails are on the pricier side, but they're genuinely delicious and feel thoughtfully crafted. Each drink has a unique Asian-inspired twist that makes the menu stand out compared to typical cocktail bars, and everything I've tried has been well-balanced and flavorful. The calamari is also a great snack to share and pairs perfectly with the drinks. Crispy, savory, and easy to enjoy while socializing. If you're looking for a stylish spot with great music, creative cocktails, and a fun late-night atmosphere, this is one of the best places to go in Portland. read more

Came here before a concert and the overall aesthetic and ambience of the bar was really nice. We didn't try the food. Just got a couple drinks and it was pretty good service was pretty attentive. Overall just chill place to come hangout. read more

We came here as a small group for drinks and quick bites. The atmosphere is chill, inviting, and comfortable. High ceilings mashed it easy to talk and not noisy. Grab a did and drink menu when you walk in and order at the bar. The service is quick and friendly. Drinks are creative and delicious. The pricing is refreshingly good compared to many places these days. Lunch burger for 10, bah mi for 12, pho for 15. The Vietnamese food isn't the best but is good, the burger however was great. I was reticent in the amount of sesame overdosed in the bun but it proved to provide a great aroma and crispy crunch against the deceptively juicy meat. read more

It has a very hip and comfortable layout, but that's the only good thing I can say about this place. My steak was the worst I have had in years and the shrimp was just ok. One of my friends got food poisoning from his catfish sandwich and another from the shrimp po' boy sandwich! The service was lackluster. We weren't their demographic and they couldn't care less. I tried to order Pho and was told they only serve it late at night on the weekends and that it was posted on the menu. The bar keeper said it with more attitude than I expected, like it was my fault for not paying attention. read more

Was very excited to try this place out, especially being of Vietnamese descent, having a place serve Vietnamese cuisine and the ambiance seemed like the perfect match. The decor was very sleek and there was a DJ playing live music while we were dining. Definitely created a fun environment that I thought was unique. The drinks were very good! The yuzu oolong whiskey sour had the flavors of yuzu but wasn't too strong to taste. The pandan colada was on the sweeter side for my liking, but it was still a solid drink. The food is where I become a big critic, since I grew up eating this cuisine. I thought the bot chien could be fried a bit longer to give it that crispiness, but the larger cubes made it unique to what I'm used to. The breakfast burrito and banh mi were mediocre; flavors were decent but how it was prepared made the tortilla/bread soggy. If you didn't inhale the food, it turned mushy. The pho broth was a bit sweeter for my preference but the noodles and beef balls were anything to write home about. The breakfast noods was probably my favorite dish there. The noodles were bouncy and it looked simple but had so many layers of flavor to it. I wouldn't mind going back, as the experience as a whole was positive, but it wouldn't be something I recommend/crave to go back on my own. read more

You MUST go here. Do not skip the garlic noodles. I have found my new favorite local bar & food. The creative food, fantastic cocktails, and asian flare create something wholly unique in the neighborhood. The vibes are incredible with walls lined by vinyl and great music on at all times. Shout out to the staff for an excellent experience with fast service. read more

I came here again, but this time for an earlier dinner around 6 pm on a Saturday. There were quite a few groups there enjoying their dinners, and others grabbing drinks to chat over. The darker lighting created a more intimate vibe. The restaurant was already busy, and seating was filling up fast. Luckily, I was flying solo that night and grabbed a seat at the bar. I ended up ordering a mushroom sandwich with a side of fries. I should have ordered a drink, but I was content with water for that night. For the sandwich, I with the mushrooms was a little less battered as I feel like the mushroom taste got a little lost. However, it was quite filling, and the sauce and pickles did well to add flavor and cut through the fried taste. The mushrooms themselves were tender and not overcooked. The fries could have used a bit more furikake to add flavor. I personally think that they could be a bit crispier on the outside, although if you aren't as into crispy fries, then they were pretty good. The sides for the fries were flavorful and helped to make up for the lack of Furikake. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Despite the large number of people, they were helpful and quite personable. read more

Vibes here are not great, which is super sad! The vibes actually border on rancid in my opinion. It feels like I crashed a party full of people who already know each other and I'm left on the fringes to observe. I want to like this place but every time I go almost the entirety of the tables are reserved which means there isn't much space available to sit. Figuring out where to order is confusing on a busy night but once you make your way to the front of the bar, the server promptly took my drink order. My drink was fine, way too sweet. I got the Pandan Colada. Won't be back unless they fix the energy in there. read more

My favorite thing about this place is their hours. It's SUCH a relief to have somewhere delicious to go early in the day and late in the evening. They have really filled a need in the local market. Their hamburgers are delicious, cocktails are on point, music is always fresh, and service is quite professional, though not always super friendly. read more

As the name states, or how one can interpret, this is "The After Hours Spot" which really is "OUR" spot, meaning a place that makes you feel like it's "your spot". They played host to about 20-30 guests after a special gala event I participated in so I felt like I rolled in deep with my crew, and it was great. Our vibe mixed with other groups of people celebrating birthdays or just starting the night off made it a great mix. The DJ was on point... some great music throughout and no matter the age of the crowd, they connected us all. Only downside was it seemed like there were some limitations at the bar as far as specific bottle availability... I was shocked when they didn't carry 2 types of liquor that were requested by my crew. Either they were out, or didn't carry. We just pivoted as that didn't stop us from celebrating the night. They've got plenty of tables inside so even during the late-night hours, you could grab a seat. Limited view of people watching, but still cool. When you come, consider this to be standing room with a cocktail on-hand towards the latter part of the night. Next time I'll make a trip and try the food, as that was a part of most conversations that night. read more

After ours is an awesome small town original portland vibe spot that I highly recommend. During the weekends they can be extremely busy but the bartenders are quick and very friendly. Drinks are delicious. I never thought I'd use Hennessy for an old fashioned but here we are. Food is extremely solid, especially for being a bar. Go check them out! read more

First off , my cheeseburger was kinda off tasting . I didn't like the sauce too much . My Manhattan cocktail was a version of the house . Very good . That Saturday night was getting crowded , and seating was very limited . Very limited . A much younger crowd dressed better than casual in some instances . Vibes can be seen as "offish" . But I got over it . I came . I saw . And I left . Not much else to say . read more

This is such a great new spot! I've been twice now (one during the weekday early afternoon and once Sunday night), and I've gotten both the breakfast noodles and garlic noodles and both (while super similar) are so good! The Pandan colada (a piña colada with Pandan floated on top) was also really good. I haven't been while someone is spinning vinyl, but it's still a little vibe. The space is small but subtly and nicely decorated. A cute new neighborhood spot. read more

I was super hyped to try this new spot I got to try two different drinks and I thought they were pretty good. Would be up to returning to trying some other drinks. Will say that I got to try the fries and the noodles they have. Thought the food was just ok. Was a little disappointed that there wasn't a lot of Vietnamese food options for the dinner menu. The service was good and I liked the set up of the bar, it was self sit. Order at the bar. read more

Food - 4 stars. Vibes - 1 star. Food was pretty good but the horrific attitudes were not worth coming. Really was looking forward to having this spot in the neighborhood but the bartenders attitude really ruined the experience. Also hate ordering at the bar and cramming in between people who are sitting trying to eat then trying to stalk people leaving to get a table. read more

Stopped in during their soft opening and was pleasantly surprised. The cocktails were brilliant and the garlic noodles were fantastic! We stationed ourselves at the bar and the service was great. Ambiance was a vinyl bar feel but no dj that night. Lights could have been dimmer but overall we had a nice time and would definitely return! read more

Never even made it in the door. Was asked by the bouncer to be frisked on a Friday night at 9pm. If I have to be subject to a pat down, I'm probably not safe there to begin with. I'm not letting a stranger touch my wife or I for your fucking noodles and a cocktail. read more

This place is awesome! Great music. Kind staff. Excellent cocktails (and mocktails). Came on a night they were celebrating Lunar New Year with a party, and while I wasn't there to party, the ambiance was still tremendous. A very cool spot you can't find everywhere in Portland! Will definitely be back. read more

I came in with a group of friends and ordered at the bar at 9:27pm, but the service was terrible. The bartender immediately told us with attitude that we were "lucky" and had "3 minutes." It was opening weekend and we were excited to try their drinks, so we ordered one of almost every drink on their menu, to which he looked away while rolling his eyes and then started to make the drinks. We were also never given water while every table around us had water served to them. They do have unique drinks and the interior is nice, but the service really shocked us and ruined the experience, especially during grand opening weekend! We will not be back. read more

Four stars for ownership!!! Four stars for vibe!!! Opening weekend was crazy busy!!

Overall entertaining fun and definitely will be back!! read more

Crowded and noisy beyond belief, their novel but ultimately mediocre drinks aren't worth the trouble

The ambiance was really nice, the vibe of the place was very chill and the music was great, but what I really wanted to review was the amazing food! We got the garlic noodles, the calamari, and the chicken sandwich. The garlic noodles were absolutely insane, would order literally twice in the same night type of food. The chicken sandwich was good too. The calamari came with this incredible sauce that literally stole the spotlight. It was the perfect amount of spice, and paired very well with the calamari and the sandwich! For drinks, we ordered the Yuzu Oolong Whiskey Sour, Sài Gòn Old Fashioned, Pandan Colada, and a Sapporo. I am a huge fan of whiskey sours, and this one did not disappoint. It was perfectly sour and sweet, and if I didn't want to try other drinks, I would have just had that the rest of the night. Bf was a fan of their take on the Old Fashioned, and the pandan colada was also delicious! Bar service was also great, they were super sweet! Would recommend this place for sure. read more

WOW!! Been dying to try this place out and so happy I got the chance to do so. I went with my Date and our friend on a Monday and it was fairly packed but luckily we were able to find a spot at the bar. Immediately we were greeted by the staff working and they were extremely friendly to us all. They answered all the questions we had about the drinks and always made sure we were taken care of. We got hungry and decided to try some food and let me tell you NOTHING disappointed. The fish sandwich was mine and it was delicious but the star was definitely the pickles. I'm a huge pickle person and theirs are so freaking good!! I had a bite of my dates chicken sandwich and it also was really tasty. The fries were good but that spicy ketchup.... The spicy ketchup is PHENOMENAL!!! And absolute must try. Oh and the drinks, my date had the lychee tini which she loved and I had the Henny tini which was basically an espresso martini with Hennessy and if I'm honest, if it wasn't for work I would've easily ordered another 3 haha. Overall the food, the drinks, and the experience was top notch and I can't wait to go back for more!! read more

I was very excited to try this new spot, the concept sounds so fun. However, I don't think the execution really happened, which is disappointing. This is supposed to be a Vietnamese vinyl bar, but there weren't any vinyls playing. I saw vinyls on the wall, and a huge chunk of space dedicated to vinyl playing, with nothing spinning. I also felt really bad for the bartenders, because they were working really hard just to keep up with drink orders with zero organization. I ordered the garlic noodles with braised beef. It was good, but it was extremely greasy. Maybe they were going for a more indulgent vibe, but it was too much for me. The chicken sandwich was okay. Fries had a good texture. The food and drinks didn't feel worth the price. They just opened, so I hope they can reorganize a little and fulfill the concept because it does seem like a cool idea. read more

The food is good but the service is terrible. Bartender will not even acknowledge your presence when you walk up to the bar. It felt hostile and dismissive, not how you want to feel when going out patronizing a place of business! I went in a group of 4 and we all got our food and drink at wildly different times. It's a shame because the food is very decent but the service just ruins it. People remember how you made them feel. Also, my Pandan Colada did not look like any of my friend's. read more

Stopped in tonight for a cocktail and some food, and was pleasantly surprised to find live music! It was fantastic! I will be back

Very disappointing. No Vietnamese food until "late night". My catfish sandwich was soggy and the fries were very salty. My drink tasted overly bitter. I was with a group and I didn't pick the place. The service was perfunctory...at best. They were Johnny-on-the-spot with the bill though. I felt like we got the bum's rush outta there because they didn't want us (older guys) polluting their Portland-Monthly-approved hipster vibe. Since it's a fair distance from where I live, I don't think I'll ever be back. Given the shelf life of a hipster bar in Portland, It'll probably be LONG gone (2 or 3 times over) before I get back to Sullivan's Gulch again. UPDATE: The next morning... After a pretty rough night... I am DOUBLE-PLUS NEVER going back to After Ours. I was up until 2:30am squirting the entire contents of my bowels into the toilet (and my clothes). My stomach was also audibly churning and rumbling. The only thing substantial I had to eat yesterday was that soggy catfish sandwich & those salty fries. ZERO STARS IF I COULD. read more

Went here with a group of 5 on opening weekend to support. When we went to order drinks, the bartender was really rude and gave us attitude for ordering close to last call when we ordered at 9:27pm. We tried 6 of 7 drinks and they were all decent except the margarita had too much fish sauce and I like fish sauce. Pandan colada was yummy tho. At 9:40pm we saw another worker walk to every table to kindly let everyone know it was last call for drinks except for ours. We also noticed every table had jugs of water except for ours. We were never greeted and did not feel welcome the whole time. The service really left a sour taste and we will not be coming back. read more

If this survives a year (Aug 2026), I will be very surprised. I predict March. I walked in on a Sunday about 3:30 PM. One table had a couple, and the bar had a couple. I was completely ignored. I perused the menu at the front for about three minutes. The two or maybe three people working there ignored me the entire time. Never even glanced at me! I want specifically for the pho. The "Viet menu" is closed until 5. Considering that this is one of their claims to fame, this was very disappointing. The only menu available was traditional bar food. If I am going to have traditional bar food, I am going five doors down to Steeplejack (which I did do!). They have an excellent cheeseburger and shoestring fries and beers and awesome service. They make me feel wanted. This place made me feel like I was intruding on some clique. I am not sure I will even try it again. After reading the other reviews, I think that this place will go the way of the skyline burger that was here for a while. That had the same dismal service and it met an early demise. UPDATE: The next day I tried again, after 6. I REALLY want that pho! Alas, it was not to be. Only on certain days at certain times. Gah! At least my presence was acknowledged this time! No more. Steeplejack is half a block along, and consistent. read more
