We were invited to view some art by someone we know so we stopped in for a drink and to check the place out. It was doing the typical Portland torrential rain when we got there and ended up parking in a public parking lot right next-door. It faces Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. so there really isn't anywhere to park unless you go to a street behind in the residential area and then walk all the way around the block.
Upon entry, we quickly noticed the famous Portland airport carpet! If you know you know. The aesthetics in this place are wonderful. There are cute little random cactuses and different plants on the wall. The bar is beautiful and you can order just about anything you can think of there. They have a drink menu in on the other side, some foods and snacks. The food coming out of the kitchen looked pretty good, but we did not have anything to eat. We ordered a couple of cocktails and a couple of beers and they were wonderful.
The bartender was so friendly and kind and fun. Had a really good time chatting with her. She told us a little bit about the place and the things they offered during the week. Their website will lay all of that out for you.
We enjoyed the live DJ playing some great music, while we chatted with several people that we had just met. The environment was very friendly and fun! I'm not sure how often they do art shows, but it was really cool to see someone we knows art up on the wall.
We will definitely return at some point. read more
