I've gone a couple times on Wednesday nights, where they have the life band on the back patio (old school R&B). Musics great, patio is great, service is quick and great as well. I unfortunately don't like the vibe, not everyone gets along with everyone and I understand that but I feel as if I'm treated poorly - not by staff but by patrons! It's something I'll voice but I try my best to not let it affect me. I was invited to a group to play uno haha and did have a blast! Also, there is a Dj inside which plays more my music (hip hop), and kills it, between the seating and the bar is standing space, hard to dance or walk through if you're trying to get a drink or in someone's way. Maybe the bar should think about resetting this area for when the DJ is on. There is an "event" room or something of that sort behind the bar, I think moving there would attract more people and if not, at least the people there will be able to dance. I see them dancing in their seats!! I did have the fried catfish, it was so so to me - I think the breading needing more flavor IMOA. Oh, and there's a female security guard, how dope is that?!

Sunday Sips: (Daughter's Spicy Margarita/ My Pinot G.)
Mercedes C.

Alberta Pub in the King area of Portland is a corner watering hole hangout hosting a bang of a party until the wee hours of the morning. My daughter wanted to kickstart our Sunday as she'd gotten wind of Alberta P's Soulful Sundays lineup a while back and suggested we come during my short solo visit to Portland. Alberta P. has a dim, cozy feel with the bar area+stools and other tables around. My kid and I were here for the live music the next room over. This room has high stools, slender counters on opposite side and several hi-top tables front of the stage- with cymbals, decorating the walls. Grab a cocktail and settle in. The owner seems to be a legend in these parts who has been hosting and supporting the local live jazzy+Soulful Sundays music scene for a while. Come here if you wanna listen and jive to musicians zhuzh up famous jazzy and soul tunes. The Sunday my kid and I visited, the live band improvised their own schtick- but it also felt sloppy as the main singers ate up a bulk of the time stretching out the songs. At times, it felt and looked like they were cackling. Despite this, the singers had a powerful voice-especially the guy who sounded like El DeBarge. My daughter and I ended our evening on a high note in a dimly lit venue while a live band tinkled out sets of jazzy+ soulful tunes until late. Come with an open mind and you'll leave with your senses bedazzled in some fun- but interesting way.

A few of us had just had an afternoon lunch across the street and decided to grab one more drink. The bar is quite unassuming and easy to enjoy. We sat in the front by a window on a slightly rainy day. Good beer, selection, and friendly service.

Shrimp and maybe a half a handful of burnt fries. $17 :/

Went to Alberta street Pub for "Trap Bingo" one weekday in October 2025.. it was AMAZING!! I had so much fun! What was most impressive was the shrimp and fries with remoulade dip. OMG! I never had anything like it. I also ordered a shot of Remy Martin.. I was about to sip and noticed a fruit fly. Went and told the tall black guy bartender, it took like 3 mins of him searching for it and finally he saw it. At first he tried to hand it back and say he didn't see it. I had to put it up toward the light where he could see, FINALLY, he saw it. Poured me another.. 2 fruit flys.. handed it back, same thing, poured another, a fruit fly. So I told him obviously the bottle is filled with them, please open another bottle. He was pretty irritated, like I did something wrong LOL! I guess I should of drank the nasty menaces?!! That alone, gave me a terrible first impression, BUT THE SHRIMP :))!!! So I decided I'll just go back for the shrimp.. I went home and told my hubby, and anyone else I spoke with. I was so looking forward to going back just for that. *FAST FORWARD* January 2026. Had been planning a nice night out for hubby and had been wanting him to try the shrimp and fries. So we decided on Sunday Jan. 11th, "Soulful Sundays". We got all dressed up.. mind you, we had a few questions and had been calling for 3 days straight. No one EVER answered. We showed up at about 5 after midnight. (They close at 2am) kitchen was closed :( .. ok.. our bad. We left. Decided to go back the next day with the kiddos. Again, called to make sure kids could come in before 9. NO ANSWER. So we just showed up. Kids were able to attend. So I approached the bar, family was all seated. The lady bartender was in the middle of convo with someone at the bar, so I waited.. finally, she came over, I t was our first time coming in during the day and with kids. I had to keep asking questions and figure out exactly how ordering went and so forth. She was NOT very forthcoming. I had to drag all the answers out of her. Went over the menu, ordered. Not too long of a wait, while waiting, my fingers and sleeves were sticking to the table. You could see the stickiness in the light, so I laid napkins down. Had I asked the chatty bartender, with her attitude I know we would have got into it. I was already annoyed by our interaction upon arrival. So I pretty much avoided her and just settled. We just wanted to eat and go.. went over to get our food. I immediately noticed the portion and state of our food. We ordered two grilled chicken burgers with fries, and two shrimp and fries. The burger plates were cool. HOWEVER, the shrimp plates actually pissed me off! HIGHLY. Just about all of our fries were burnt. They looked like the scraggly fries at the bottom of the fryer you forgot about and grab at the very end. They looked pathetic. HUGE CONTRAST from my last visit. There was a diff cook. First cook was a heavy set white guy. This cook was a skinny black lady. *RACE DOESNT MATTER JUST STATING FOR CONTEXT*. A diff cook could be why the difference. We sat to "eat" and it was terrible. I mean.. we spent $80 freakin dollars and left hungry. The shrimp had NO FLAVOR AT ALL. They just tasted like oil basically. The remoulade had no flavor. Just a faint taste of mayo. We also got a side of ranch and it tasted like it was spoiled. We got there at about 6:30pm and it's like they were closing the kitchen and fed us the scraps of what was left to cook? Idk.. it was absolutely terrible man.. such a disappointment . Again, the fries were burnt so we could only eat a few. I didn't let the bartender know because she was already dry and distant when we arrived, so we just bused our tables and left. I've never spent $80 damn dollars to eat anywhere and left hungry. And I was slightly embarrassed I gassed the shrimp up, only to get the bland, burnt crap we were served. None of my family liked the shrimp and fries. They did enjoy the burgers, and their fries weren't burnt. A free re-do would be solid on ALBERTA STREET PUBS part. $80!?? *SIDE NOTE* I also noticed all of the "Urban" or "Black" events have higher cover charges than all other bands/events.

Visited 7/7/24 | Spent $16 (taxes and fees included) - At the tail end of Leaky Con (Harry Potter conference), my friends and I visited for a Hip Hop & R$B Bingo Night. The staff were friendly and bartender was attentive, though she was working solo managing the growing line. I was shocked by how much syrup was used to make the tequila sunrise I ordered, so refrained from ordering anything else from the bar for the rest of the night. The nachos were fulfilling and solid bar food. I love how spacious and clean the patio was and the lively entertainment.

Disappointed and angry in a dive bar, how cliche?! I know. Empty bar. 20 minutes for a smash burger. Over cooked fries. Secret fees. When you're the only one in the bar service should be extraordinary, you're the only one there! A beer and a burger is the bare minimum for a bar. If the menu says $15 for a burger, that's what it is, not 15.83. If the menu says extra bacon is $2, that's what it is, not $4.14. If a beer says it's $8, that's what it is, not $8 and some change. If you have fees for something it should be stated, not randomly charged on the bill. "The managers not in, I can't help!" I think the service staff should be able to explain charges on my bill. I didn't want extra bacon. I wanted what I paid for, nothing more. I won't be back. $30 for a burger, fries and a beer....just to throw it in the trash because it wasn't even done right. Why come?! I'm good. Do better! If I could cuss in this review I would! Sad.

Watermelon margarita slushy
Ciarra W.

The atmosphere is always chill and inviting! A fun time, and SUCH GREAT STAFF. We came right when they opened, and everyone was so friendly and communicative about getting set up and getting their kitchen going. Later on, Sean, came to check on us and make sure we were happy!

Watermelon Margarita Slushee
Adrian D.

When the sun comes out all I ever want is a slushee cocktail! Drove past and noticed they had an n/a slushee as well as a Watermelon Margarita slushee! Which is always the right vibe for me! So good! Thank you Shawn and the lovely bartender for your hospitality and kindness!!

A very good version of fish and chips, this is the half order size.
Andrew A.

I've driven by countless times, but never noticed them until today. The Fish & Chips were better than expected, a very good version actually. The coating wasn't overly snap crispy, but not too soft battered either. Fries were great, a runner-up to Belgian double fried style. A surprise winner was the New Belgian Agua Fresca, think McMennamins Ruby Red, but better. Service is a bit stoic, but polite. The only negative is you need to order drinks and food at the bar. I'm not a fan of this concept and actually didn't order a second beer because my lazy ass didn't want to get up. Had a server come to our table and asked they would have realized more revenue and he a bigger tip. Silly Portland trend.

This stage and room has great acoustics.

A Don Julio lemon drop is 14.49 for the shot , plus an extra 2 for lemon drop mix. A lemon drop at Ruth Chris isn't that expensive.

Five dishes for 2 of us was more than enough +2 dessert +2 drinks…read more The wasabi salad was good. Perfect dressing for my husband too much dressing for me. I really like the scallops. Not a fan of the jalapeño grits because the heat built up and I would like to have some bread to help cut the heat. Our absolute favorite was udon dish. Another dish where I wish I had bread too scoop up all the sauce. The Tonkasu sandwiches were way better than the place at Bridgeport. The beef check melted in our mouth - another dish. I wish I had rice with. Moral of the story, need carbs to make the meal better Beautiful ambience. Amazing service. We dropped the chopstick and they got us a new one before we asked. Was surprised they didn't give us new plates unless asked because mine was covered in all the different sauces and I didn't wanna mix the wasabi dressing with other dishes.

Food: 4/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 This is a very cute spot for a nice girls dinner or date night. I brought my kid and it was ok but probably won't recommend it. I liked everything off the raw menu besides the mushroom handroll because the salt level was at about 300%. My fave was probably the yellowtail crudo. The raw stuff came out fairly quickly then we waited a very long time for the cooked entrees to come out. There was at least a 20 minute hiatus, which I did not appreciate. The server checked on us a couple times during the wait but it's just kind of awkward when the wait is that long. I was really looking forward to the duck duck rice because pictures on Yelp made it look like a crispy rice, if it was in fact, not. The udon was our absolute favorite. The snapper was also delicious but it came very late. The alcatra was just ok, I actually couldn't take much of the tomato flavor in it.

Looking for fancy labor intensive cocktails with the tinctures, aromatic sprays, and unique…read morecombinations? Look no further. We came on a Tuesday night, so it was super quiet, lots of seating at the bar and really chill. Loved that the drink menu was divided into flavor profiles depending on your own preferences, you can choose drinks from a selection of bright & crisp, arid & aromatic, supple & herbal, rich & robust, spicy & bold, or deep & dark. I ordered the Mace from the seasonal menu with Aperol, Linie aquavit, beet juice, orange acid, young Thai coconut cordial, and mace mist. It was good. My husband ordered the Liquid Swords from the spicy & bold selection. It was so so good I made him switch with me. I could drink this forever. It had TDL vodka blend, novo fogo silver cachaca, mango, red pepper, lemon and ginger. So refreshing! I would come here again and again!

Nice cocktail bar with quality cocktails and lively fun vibes…read more Highlights: - Nice curved bar that takes up most of the front room. Also a side room - Lots of cocktails on the menu in categorized sections (bright and crisp, rich and robust etc). Also has a 1 liner describing the cocktail as well - Vesper: went off menu with my go to and ones one of the better ones I had! 5 stars - Dream Weaver: enjoyed my first selection with pandan. 4 stars - Can make reservations which I always like to know I have spot. Thought they were only for the side room so was thrilled when we were in the main bar. - Fun music - Has a bites menu if you get hungry which I appreciate Midlights: - Bit dark to see the menu so used the handy candle nearby - Was on the top 50 best of North America bar list but in 2022 so it's been a bit Lowlights: - Doomsday Device: was in the spicy category with hot honey and peppercorn but was more of a mellow fruity cocktail to me where I didn't taste any spice - Didn't get to try any bites as we came from dinner but would have loved to try the 2 bite tostadas

It's on the sweet side, but I needed something sweet as a buffer since some of the dishes we ordered were a bit too salty. -Thai-Style Ceviche, 11/10. No friggin' notes. I highly recommend. Portion is a bit small, because I could have eaten MORE. -Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken was decent. We ordered the Small and it was about 5-6 boneless pieces. Very unique. I recommend to try if you like fried chicken. -Wok-Fried Yu Choy was wayyyy tooooo salty. Hubs & I wanted some greens and it was fried with generous amounts of garlic, but it just got saltier and saltier as we ate it. -White Curry w/ Brisket Burnt Ends, this dish was a little bit of a mixed bag. The white curry (roasted cauliflower + coconut cream) was delicious, but did it pair well with the Brisket Burnt Ends? Not really IMO. I don't think the flavors match. I'm not exactly sure what would pair well with the white curry, maybe some veg or tofu...but BBQ fusion with the curry wasn't the best. 2 unisex restrooms available, the one I used was clean. Service was a little scattered. We got the Yu-Choy first, followed by the ceviche a few minutes later. But the Fried Chicken and White Curry took a while to come (about another 10-15 mins. to come). We were lucky to find some street parking in the neighborhood nearby.
