Argyle Sparkling ($14)
Elena N.

Date: Friday, February 28th, 2025 Time: around 7:30pm Party of: 4 Meal: Dinner *Chimney Sweep ($16) *Tery Alexander ($16) *Argyle Sparkling ($14) *Calamari ($22) *High Horse Wings ($19) *The Smash Burger ($21) *5% Surcharge ($5.40) The hubby and I were staying at The Bidwell. Since we got a $30 a day credit at High Horse, we stopped by our first day. (Unfortunately, we did let our credits go to waste the other two days.) We easily grabbed a four top by the bar. I wasn't super hungry, so just had a glass of bubbles. The boys did seem to enjoy the food. Everything looked like it was fried nicely. Pricing is a little higher as this is a hotel resto. But I expected that. I was surprised they did a 5% surcharge tho. Reminded me of the SF Health Tax we get to deal with back home. Not a bad bar / restaurant for a hotel. I just wish the credit we get as a guest can be lumped together. Who wants to go to the same place 3 times during vacation?! REVIEW #3723

The staff were nice both times I went in. Since it's in the hotel, it was an easy choice! I first stopped in for a late lunch and had the salad which was one of the best Caesar salads I've had! I went back in for breakfast which was really good, can't ever go wrong with eggs, bacon and potatoes!

This is such a cute hotel restaurant! The open room and seating is lovely. Service was friendly and wonderful. The food was good. I ordered the chicken sandwhich which was tasty, just wish the pesto wasn't so strong.

As far as hotel restaurants go, this one is top notch. I arrived late at night and ordered the steak frites off the late night menu. So good. I especially liked it because I had ordered the same thing in Denver the night before and it was so bad! Definitely had a steak frites redemption moment. Our sever Ana was the absolute sweetest and provided us with exceptional service. The restaurant itself was clean and decorated in a modern way that gives cool lounge vibes. If you're staying here or even if you're not, make it a point to eat here.

A shared Cobb salad, served on two plates. We were very pleasantly surprised!!

We're staying at the Bidwell Marriott in downtown Portland. The High Horse is on the 2nd floor. We've found the food to be very good, and we figured out a trick. The Bidwell charges a $30 "destination fee," which includes a $20 daily food and beverage credit. So we've used it to have "almost free" lunches. Yesterday, for example, my wife and I split a Cobb salad. The kitchen served it on two separate plates, each one more than sufficient for a single person. The salad was very good, excellent ingredients. Diced chicken, not processed deli chicken. Chunks of blue cheese along with blue cheese dressing. Large tasty bacon bits. Hard boiled egg. We added ice tea, and the total was about $32. Service was very good, staff friendly. The day before we split a smash burger with fries along with the ice tea, which totaled under $30. Add a tip, and it made a very pleasant meal, nice surroundings, excellent food, at a good discount! Not free, of course, since you're charged the destination fee whether you use the credit or not. But if we had eaten elsewhere, it would have been an added and unnecessary expense.

First the service by Anna was fantastic!! She gave us great suggestions and fantastic cocktails. They had vegan options as well.

Vanilla latte

I stayed at the Bidwell Marriott Hotel where High Horse is located for a couple of nights last summer. The hotel provides complimentary drinks during happy hour at High Horse so I took advantage of it. The free cocktail was a whiskey sour. I've never had a whiskey sour before and I was afraid I might not like it, but it was really good and refreshing. Plus it wasn't bitter, I don't like my cocktails bitter. For breakfast, I tried their egg, sausage and cheese on an English muffin and hot vanilla latte. The sandwich was very good. I was also shocked at how good the latte was. I just came from visiting Seattle and had a bunch of really good coffee there so I wasn't expecting much from a hotel restaurant latte, but it was surprisingly delicious. Prices were expensive, but I expected that from a restaurant inside a hotel.

The burger & fries.
Maureen M.

I was down the street at a conference, and wandered into the High Horse (at the Marriott/Bidwell on SW Broadway) for an early dinner. I thought the price point for the burger (& fries) was high at $26. If the burger was not a pre-formed patty, and if the fries were hand-cut, I would have thought differently. I found the lounge trendy and a bit drafty. That said, the service was excellent.

To speak about Teardrop Lounge, I should probably start with this:…read more Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite cocktail bar. Not the best -- I'm not arrogant enough to claim that. I haven't been to every cocktail bar in Portland, and saying something is the best usually says more about your lack of experience than your conviction. But favorite? That I can stand behind. And I want to get that out of the way early, because of the amount of praise I'm about to pour on this place -- fully earned, completely intentional. The biggest crime here is that I only discovered it two weeks ago, after living in Portland for a year. It had been recommended to me countless times, and I ignored it. A mistake. A painful one. But now that I've found it, I don't plan on making that mistake again. I'm not typically an Old Fashioned drinker. In fact, I usually hate them. But somewhere between curiosity and too many episodes of Mad Men, I decided to try one anyway -- fully expecting to confirm my bias. Instead, it completely flipped me. Bright, almost citrus-forward in a way that felt unusual but entirely intentional. Balanced, smooth, just enough burn to remind you what you're drinking without overwhelming it. It was the first time I actually understood the appeal. I'm pretty sure I grew a few chest hairs that night. That alone would've been impressive. But it didn't stop there. The space is beautiful -- clean, intentional, but not cold. The staff are excellent: personable, engaged, and most importantly, authentic. Not scripted, not performative. The kind of people you actually want to talk to, and hopefully, eventually be on a first-name basis with. Now, all of that gets it close to a perfect score. But what pushes it over the edge -- what makes this place stick -- is the White Russian. One of the first drinks I ever had. My dad's drink. Not because of The Big Lebowski -- that came later -- but because it's just always been his thing. And at some point, it became mine too. Typically, when bars try to "elevate" a White Russian, they ruin it. They overthink it. Swap ingredients, tweak ratios, add unnecessary flair. And more often than not, it ends in disappointment. Teardrop does the opposite. They respect it -- but refine it. The coffee liqueur actually tastes like coffee. The heavy cream is properly integrated, not just dumped on top. The vodka -- whatever they're using -- is clean, present, and perfectly measured. There's a subtle complexity to it without losing what makes the drink what it is. It's the best White Russian I've ever had. No hesitation. I've gone back twice just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. If someone asked me what my death row drink would be -- this specific cocktail, from this specific bar, is in the conversation. Easily. Teardrop Lounge doesn't just make great cocktails. It reminds you why cocktails matter in the first place. And that's why it's my favorite.

We came to Teardrop Cocktail Lounge while visiting Portland and were genuinely impressed…read more The cocktails were excellent -- thoughtful, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who know what they're doing. One of the best parts was how approachable the bartenders were. We asked for custom drinks based on our preferences, and both came out perfectly tailored. Creative without being weird, and strong without being sloppy. What really stood out was the price point. For the quality of cocktails, the prices felt very reasonable compared to similar craft cocktail bars in other cities. The vibe was also great -- relaxed, cozy, and not pretentious. It felt like a place where you could come for a special drink experience without feeling like you had to "perform" or order off a rigid menu. We liked it so much we actually came back a second time during our trip. Highly recommend if you're into well-crafted cocktails, friendly bartenders, and a laid-back but elevated atmosphere.

Bible Club was such a fun and memorable stop during our Portland trip…read more The speakeasy vibe is spot-on -- unassuming exterior, cozy interior, moody lighting, and just the right amount of theatrical flair without feeling cheesy or try-hard. It really does feel like you've discovered something special. The cocktails were excellent. Thoughtfully crafted, well-balanced, and creative without being gimmicky. Everything we ordered tasted intentional and high quality. We also shared a charcuterie board, which was a great call. Perfectly portioned, nicely curated, and a really good pairing with cocktails. What stood out just as much as the drinks was the atmosphere. It felt intimate, warm, and conversation-friendly -- the kind of place you want to linger. It was exactly the vibe we were looking for for a relaxed evening out. If you're into speakeasy-style bars, creative cocktails, and cozy, hidden-gem energy, Bible Club is an absolute must when you're in Portland.

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

You cannot miss the oysters here--the granitas they pair with them are an absolute work of art. For the first time, we tried the beef tartare, and they hand-chop the meat right on the spot. The funky richness of the cheese on top was perfectly balanced, and wrapping it in gem lettuce made it such a unique and delicious treat. As for the drinks, every single cocktail we ordered was outstanding. I'm not a big fan of overly sweet drinks, so the 'Mojo Jojo Casa House' at the end was absolutely perfect for my palate. I also loved the 'Brand New Key,' which was packed with fresh tarragon flavor. My husband prefers smoky whiskeys and mezcals, so he ordered along those lines--not exactly my personal style, but he loved them! The ambiance and overall vibe here are unmatched.
