Picture dark moody lighting with gold and green accents and pinkish colored curtains at the booths. If I lived closer this would be my go to spot. They have a full bar so you can get pretty much whatever you want. They have a few speciality cocktails but most of them were made with gin, not my fav. The drinks during happy hour were really reasonable and the food was priced similar to other restaurants in the area. I had a ham and cheese panini with the pilsner and both were pretty good. The bartender was really nice and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Also jello shots for $2. Can't go wrong there!

Fantastic wallpaper that has the feeling of William Morris gone wild or jungle. Black and white film noir with Gene Kelly and other is playing on the screen and there is a black-and-white ink drawing of a recognizable actor in the corner complete with candles lit in vigil. We all had cocktails, mine was a chilled bar martini dirty with extra olives. And they really understood the assignment with the olives. Between us we had a dozen and a half Shigoku oysters from Washington state. And fresh grated horseradish was a bonus alongside the mignonette. The table favorite after the oysters were the deviled eggs. You have to try the truffle popcorn with the fluffy freshly grated Parmesan. That will disappear quickly. The service was attentive throughout our two hour visit. Matthew checked in regularly without being overly solicitous. Looking forward to returning again. Wonderful outdoor eating area that we didn't take advantage of this time but absolutely plan to.

Do you want amazing, thoughtful sandwiches and snack options? Well you can find all that and MORE at Arbor Hall! This is seriously my favorite bar in Portland and it is truly worth the trip, no matter how far you are. The sweet couple who owns it are so warm and welcoming, you can tell they pour their passion and genius into this place and their friends and siblings who work their are just as wonderful! Arbor Hall also has incredible seasonal drink specials (crystal clear Marg, Mure the Berrier, Amazing Ciderman, Milk punches sometimes!), as well as a crazy comprehensive spirit menu. I can't wait to go back!!

The drinks are generous, the prices reasonable and there's a pretty damn decent happy hour on offer too (though it used to be better, but then again so was everything before the pandemic). The servers are quick and attentive but not lingering l, and I totally dig the dark, moody, Rat-Pack meets industrial lounge vibe inside, which is 180 degrees from the spacious outdoor area --- which I also dig, but for very different reasons. The menu is a bit more thoughtful than the usual pub fare too --- fondue, smashed potatoes, deviled eggs, Caesar salad ---- so you can feel good about steering clear of greasy fried crap. All I'm saying is it's a reliable place to meet up with buds early on or get your party on in the later hours.

I have no idea if this bar has food - but when we came in a few Friday's ago - at 7 pm - and we…read morewere pretty much the only people there. The bartender said they need better signage but by 8 pm, the place was packed. I think this used to be a doggy day care or doggy spa. It's been open for 3 years and I never knew it was here. Too bad because I have moved from the neighborhood and this would have been a great neighborhood haunt. 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. The decor is neon and chill but not hipster - like the rest of the places on this side of the river. They also have a billiard room. So, basically, there is just about something for everyone. I wish my new neighborhood had a bar like this that was walking distance.

For one, their food menu for a place in Portland was quite lacking. In Portland where it's very easy to get great bar eats, I was disappointed to see goldfish and cheese platter amongst the only food they serve. The drink selection seemed small (if the goal is they specialize in drinks and not food). My drink was tasty but quite small. I love the mural, and the ambiance is great. I think there's just a few things about the bar that make you go "hmm".

Woah. I might like Kachka Fabrika even more than the main location! I love the seafood focus since…read moreit means I eat everything on the menu. Their happy hour is insanely good - $1 oysters and $10 martinis. We also tried their oyster shooter ($2) which was good but I'll stick to just oysters by themselves. There is an upstairs that I didn't see but the downstairs around the bar is pretty small - get a reservation if you can. My friend opted for the dining month set which was really good. I got the salt cod and potato vereniki which were everything I could wish for in a dumpling - fishy, potatoey and salty. I also got their espresso month martini which was great, but I do want to try the rest of their martini menu - for $7, you can get them in mini size and try more of them! Service was friendly. They do the standard Kachka automatic gratuity but in this case it's warranted. We felt taken care of and left very happy! Now if only Kachka could do as the others have and open an output in downtown Beaverton , I'd be super happy :)

They have a non-alcoholic wine that we tried in Slovenia and it brought us back to our experience at Strelec. It's a cozy environment with an amazing bar (the lighting is unique) and an upstairs area that is more lounge-y. Worth a visit. Didn't drink any cocktails, but the menu is intimidating and varied.
