Was staying at the hotel and saw this place.

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

It needed some freshening up for a Hilton. The outdoor seating could only accommodate groups of two which was a bummer.

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!

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

The lunch portions were incredibly generous, especially the grilled cheese and fries, which were actually a kids meal! The buffalo chicken Caesar wrap was a little lacking in Caesar flavor, but where it lacked in Caesar, it definitely made up for it with the buffalo flavor, and it was still incredible. 10/10 across the board! The customer service was also amazing, and the staff were genuinely such a pleasure to interact with. And the little doodle on the bag was just the cutest added bonus! Definitely left much happier with this visit than my first one!

I went with the pulled pork sandwich, which was good and flavorful, and paired really well with their pepper & cabbage coleslaw on the side. We also split a cup of the roasted red pepper and tomato bisque, which was honestly a highlight of the whole meal -- rich, well-balanced, and worth ordering on its own. Drinks deserve a shoutout too: their non-alcoholic options were great. My friend raved about the guava lemonade, and I had the blueberry vinegar shrub, which was excellent -- bright, crisp, and refreshing.

Went there for a birthday party tonight with 8 people. A few of us were there early. They sat us at…read moreour table but not everyone was there yet. 3 of us guys decided to go sit at the bar and thought we would have a drink together. The bartender told us that we should go back to our table as it would confuse the server if he was to give us a drink. Never been somewhere where the bartender turned us away. Food was good but a huge turnoff that we were actually told not to sit at the bar. I am the husband of the person showing on this review. It was very disappointing for all 3 of us men wanting to get a drink at the bar. If the bartender was concerned about the servers tip...he should just transfer the ticket. Again everything else was great, it just was not a welcoming enviroment.

The band packed up and left as a result pretty much eliminating our reason for coming. We won't be back. Our waitress,however, was apologetic and attentive.

I especially loved that many of the absinthes are named after famous poets and artists - it adds a fun touch to the experience. For dinner, I ordered the spaetzle, and it was delicious. I also love the vintage mirrors throughout the space, it makes the room feel large and grand. Whether you're stopping in for a classic cocktail, an absinthe experience or just enjoying the ambience, Driftwood Room is worth a visit if you're in downtown PDX!

Disappointing Experience at the Driftwood Room - October 5 I…read morehesitated before leaving this review because I have fond memories of the Driftwood Room and Hotel deLuxe. I lived just a block away during my years in Portland and recently returned to the city, hoping to revisit a place that was once part of my life. I'll actually be returning to Portland next week, so I wanted to stop in, support the hotel, and recapture a little of that nostalgia. Unfortunately, my experience on October 5 was disappointing. The Driftwood Room was extremely busy, with what appeared to be nearly 30 guests inside, yet there was only one bartender working behind the bar. There also appeared to be a soccer match letting out nearby, bringing even more people into the area and adding to the crowd. One bartender was left trying to manage an overwhelming volume of guests while drinks and food orders continued to come through. As someone who works in the service industry, I genuinely felt bad for the bartender. They continued serving guests despite the pressure, but the staffing situation was simply unacceptable for a hotel bar experiencing that level of business. Your employees deserve the support and staffing necessary to do their jobs properly, and guests deserve service that doesn't leave one person trying to manage an entire packed bar alone. How does a hotel allow this to happen on such a busy evening? The other disappointment was the price. I ordered a gin Bee's Knees, which ended up being the most expensive cocktail I purchased during my evening out. At $18, it was noticeably more expensive than comparable cocktails I had elsewhere that night, where I paid $12 at Teardrop Lounge, Nines Hotel. At that price point, I expect an experience that feels worth it, and unfortunately, the overall visit fell short. What makes this particularly disappointing is that I returned with genuine affection for the Driftwood Room and the memories I associate with Portland. I wanted to support the establishment, not criticize it. Instead, I left with an impression that was far removed from the experience I remembered. I will be back in Portland, and I hope the Driftwood Room can once again be a place I enjoy visiting. But management needs to take a serious look at staffing levels, especially during major events and busy evenings. You cannot expect one bartender to adequately serve a bar packed with nearly 30 people without providing additional support. This review isn't intended to take anything away from the bartender, who appeared to be doing their best under difficult circumstances. My criticism is directed at management and the decisions that left them in that position. I wanted to love my return visit. Sadly, I left disappointed. Please do better for your guests, your employees, and the reputation of a bar that holds fond memories for people who have lived in and loved Portland.

We just got a few rounds of beers but we stayed quite a while because they have a great vibe and video poker - which the guys in our group could not be torn away from.
