    Great looking bar setup at Fuse Bar
    Tamara C.

    The vibe here is more cosmopolitan lounge than many of Portland's run-of-the-mill hipster bars that are overrun with bearded lumberjack wannabes. This is a good thing. The new owner did a great job revamping the dark and cavern-like former Via Tribunali into an elegant space to chill. The DJ at the time, who is also the owner was playing a really good variety of music with a nice mix of international tunes included. Portland is seriously lacking in the international club/lounge scene. Although this lovely space is not per se an international lounge, it is a more interesting option than some of the usual bars around. The bartenders and the owner were all very personable and we really enjoyed our time there. Fuse Bar is also the same owner as SuBe Sushi and sushi is available in Fuse Bar up until 10 PM. It's in a super cool location right at the beginning of Ankeny Alley near lots of other fun nightlife. If you're looking for a sweet spot to hang out, check this place out. 2016 - Review # 53

    I wish I was as smart as the owner of Fuse. You don't often see a business with almost nothing wrong with it. First, the overall structure. This building was built in 1875. Many businesses have inhabited this space, of course, but I truly admire the space usage here. There's the coffee counter on one side which is in use most of the time. The cocktail bar is on the other side. A DJ stand is next to it. Fuse is a cocktail bar on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. All the seating is very attractive and intimate on the first and second floors. The flooring is rehabilitated original wood. The sound system is excellent for background music during the day as well. One of the best features is a very sleek white-tiled pizza oven which is shared with the owner's sushi restaurant next door. Interior decoration manages to be sleek and sexy modern while hanging on to its Pacific Northwest roots. This part of town has had a pretty rough history now and then, but it feels very safe now. My barista was a very knowledgeable young woman who had an excellent grasp of Portland history even though she is from Montana. The Americano I ordered was excellent. I saw no baked goods for sale. My barista and I continued to chat throughout my visit, and a local police officer, who used a Segway, dropped in to chat. This is a very hospitable spot with an "everybody is welcome" feel. As an aside, the bathroom is scrupulously clean. Wi-fi connection is excellent and free. If you get a chance to stop by for either coffee or a cocktail, do so. I think you will be as impressed as I am.

    I've come here a couple of times. the ambience is really nice, party lights, ample seating for about 10 folks. I don't like the fact they only have one bathroom There is not a cover charge as long as you tell them you're going to buy your one drink minimum. they rotate DJs which is nice, drinks are okay, not gonna get turnt up unless you get shots. You know my motto "bring a flask" drink in the car, then go in

    Hazelnut latte--couldn't help but take a sip before the photo.

    My new favorite coffee shop! I work nearby which is what got me hooked. Now, even on my days off I'll make the 20 minute drive and endure the struggle of parking just for a cup. It's that good. The interior decor is beautiful. So much more class and taste than a lot of the other spots in Portland. Reminds me of the coffee shops you see in movies or tv shows. The staff are all very friendly and personable. Great to chat with if you have the time. Whether it's a latte, cappuccino, or their house made mocha--I can't seem to get enough!

The ambiance is very tropical and fun, and love that they have such a spacious bathroom! They have an extensive drinks menu, like several pages long!

The drinks were so creamy and delicious yet dangerously strong! Also, can we talk about the portion sizes? My drink was literally the size of my face, like what?!! It is best to come here in large groups because their shared drinks/scorpion bowls are a total showstopper!

The ambiance was adorable, with such a nice patio out back--perfect for a warm day! Unfortunately, oysters are only available on Sundays, but we decided to grab a couple of other little snacks instead. We got the steak tartare, and I have to say, it was honestly some of the best I've had in a long time. It had the perfect smoky touch and absolutely hit the spot. We also tried the sardine plate, which was such a fun little snack. The tzatziki sauce surprisingly paired so well with the Spanish sardines and really pulled everything together. Spanish sardines with a Middle Eastern-inspired sauce? Pretty clever! Our server was also lovely and came out to check on us throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. For just a little drop-in snack, the whole experience was surprisingly memorable and definitely left us wanting to come back. Such a cute spot!

We even asked our waitress if we can keep the leftover olive oil to use it with the bread we ordered lol The oysters were also fantastic. They were barbecued, which isn't something you see every day. A little drier than a raw oyster, but still full of flavor. Limited seating so be sure to call ahead of time for a reservation if need be. This feels like the kind of place you celebrate something special, and honestly, I would not mind spending a birthday here at all! Worth it. btw the alleyway walking up to this place is so charming.
