    3/16/2019 - What a great sitting area!
    Mikhail H.

    I came here for a friend's birthday party and am in love! What a great space! I love that in this area there are lots of parking options too - I genuinely get scared going into a new spot wondering how long I need to arrive early to do the circle around and around and around. Nope - they have their own lot and plenty of street parking too! Many dive bars around are also pretty unclean feeling that is supposed to be charming - this is not that. The space is nice with nothing nasty to hide and has several areas you could fill pretty well with people. There is even a super cute area tucked in a corner with couches you could feel pretty swank drinking a martini. The bartender was a dream - what a sweetheart! She is on it also and kept knocking out drink after drink. Their have a small menu with some decent bar food. I just went with tots and fish but almost regret (after seeing some other reviews) not grabbing a hamburger. My food was fine though - I was not expecting more than some greasy fried food - this was fried but the grease was even low and super cheap so yay! They have some great large tables so getting a group together here is a great option for gatherings.

    A nice and cozy place, we had some drink and snacks (Chicken wings) last night, definitely will recommend people to go. My wife and my friend we all had a good time there. The place is not big but have enough entertainment things to do - drink, food, music, pool, and some poker computer game We will come back next time for sure :)

    Happy people

    Great time and great atmosphere. Food was fabulous service was great. Wide range of different folks walking through. Can definitely tell this is a local hang out. I will be back for more.

    Element closed before 11:30 tonight. The hours are reliable. This isn't the pre-pandemic Element Lounge. You can't trust anything.

You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

I do still count…read moretheir rosemary pear martini as my favorite cocktail in town - and really their cocktail menu overall is still excellent. But the last few times I've stopped in for a meal, it feels like the food isn't quite as impressive as it used to be. Could be all in my head. Not sure. But it's always a nice spot to hang out and chat with friends, you can get seated quicker if you enter through Over & Out, which basically functions as an extension of the main Observatory, with it's own bar and pool tables.

The restaurant is what used to be the lobby. It is known for being dimly lit, a little romantic, a little old school. They are open late when not a lot of other places around are, which is how I ended up here after another event. They have happy hour from 4-6pm and then a late night happy hour after 10pm. The building could use some love from its landlord. The toilet was leaking, there's asbestos wrapped pipes visible on the ceiling. We got: Soup du jour House salad Meze platter Kettle chips Spicy chicken sandwich Everything tasted great. I was pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes for the happy hour items. I would definitely keep this in mind for date night or as a late night spot when not much else is open.

Servers who must all be libras due to their homeyness--slash--poignant versatility that offsets feeble-minded Portland bartender ego and impatience. (REAL Kindness, you know...*tears up*). The happy hour is really special. Get a gin and egg white cocktail for $6-8! I moved away from PDX, but Sapphire is the first spot I'd return to. (I probably won't return to PDX.) It's sort of like if Rimsky-Korsakoffee House was a real Portland bar.

One thing that bothered me though (and I know maybe I'll get hate for this), is I feel like some of the decor is tone deaf. They have a bunch of colonial men ceramic decor, but they partner with and serve food from a Filipino company. I'm Filipino and it was a bit offensive to me because even if the point of having them is trying to make fun of them, it's not really funny. We were colonized for over 300 yrs and still deal with the trauma from it. Please consider removing the colonial decor. I really enjoyed the bar and want to enjoy it in the future, but I don't think it's necessary to have those things in the bar and doesn't add anything to how cool the bar is apart from that. UPDATE: the bar messaged me. They were super professional and kind in their response. I really appreciate that they were open to my perspective on the colonial items and said they will be removed. Thank you so much!! Looking forward to enjoying the bar in the future

I was just happy for a double Stoli and fresh fruit. I saw beer and wine being drunk and lots of mixed drinks people were happy with. Mine were poured well and priced super fair. The KJ for karaoke was super sweet and it seems like he can get you just about anything though I was late to join my lofty crew so I did one song only. FYI - you put your name with the KJ so he can add you to the queue, be polite and tip a buck or two and watch the screen giving a heads up when you are next. You then tell him what song you want. They have a pretty good sound system though it is set for singing on the stage so you get a lot of the sound when below the stage so it is hard to hear yourself. But, no one cares seriously - have a good time and sing some karaoke. I was joking with some sweet gals in the bathroom. One was debating on trying it for her first time. Best advice I can give you folks who are scared to sing... Chose a favorite - one of those songs people just love and the bar will gladly sing with you - especially later in the evening. Seriously, everyone is just there to have a good time and sure, if you can sing well - that is awesome too! If you want to sing a bunch, definitely go much earlier. I arrive just after 11 and it was probably an hour and a half after I added my name.
