I really loved this place! I was visiting portland and a friend took us here, they had live music this night and it got pretty full but we were able to find a beautiful table in the back within the trees and string lighting it was such a peaceful vibe and the music was really good! They had delicious craft cocktails, at slightly below average prices and it's always nice to not pay tax in Oregon haha. I got the grilled cheese and tomato soup - name a better duo, I'll wait - and it was so yummy. Something about it being cut into triangles and having the perfect crisp on the edge with creamy cheese that stretches for inches when u bite into it -- amazing. And the soul was creamy and well-seasoned, just a perfect pair. Ended with the fig cheesecake and it was realllyyyy good and also didn't take that long to arrive to the table. On a nice night this is definitely a place to be, their outdoor area is what really sold it for me. Can't wait to come back! read more

A really cool venue with a giant patio out back. At night there is a candle lit atmosphere. Staff and service was great and cocktails while a little expensive were tasty. My only issue was the bathroom was pretty gross on a busy Thursday night which was unexpected since the rest of the place gives off a nicer feel otherwise would have been a 5 star experience. read more

Rontoms - Lounges Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My colleagues and I were exploring Portland and trying to find nightlife. I think we may need to stay longer to explore other parts of the city. Anyways, the aesthetic was chill and relaxing. The drinks were good. I had their Fuzzy Slipper drink, which had rum, eggnog, nutmeg, and cinnamon. If you wanna dance and get turnt, then this is not the space for you. However, I went on a Friday night, so it may look different on other days. read more

What a cool space! We came with about eight other friends on a Saturday night around 6 PM and had a wonderful table outside. The service could have been better but they got busier as the night went on and that was understandable. Although, several members of our party did have to go up to the bar after never receiving their drinks. While we enjoyed the outdoor patio, I can't imagine going back when the patio is not feasible. The inside, while very cool looking, was as dark as the Batcave and just had a different kind of vibe than the outdoors. read more

Rontoms - Chicken skews - Lounges Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great place for groups-but I always have an issue with their billing. They want one card for the table, once you've paid you will also have a "pending charge" of the pre-tip amount that lingers for several days, pretty annoying when a group can quickly spend over $200. read more

My experiences at Rontoms are vastly different from folx on Yelp. I am surprised by the low reviews but understand the differences that arise from a customer's experience. For my friends and I, Rontoms is our go to spot for girls night with affordable cocktails. This bar captures every aspect of the city. From the cozy mood inside with lounge chairs and dim lights to the perfectly lit patio in the evening with fireplaces around, I love the varying essence of the bar. I visited last Friday and the patio was beautiful with a cherry blossom tree and bamboos that filled up the space. The space gets hectic during the weekends at night, which might not be the best time as it can be difficult to get a table or even enter the building. My favorite cocktail is la bruja ($12) with a hint of tequila and spice. Unfortunately there aren't many vegan options. I ordered a hummus plate before with a vegan ice cream sandwich, which were delicious! read more

Good cocktails, went her mostly for the ping pong. But would come back again for the great drinks.

The front half of Rontoms reminds me of Angels pad in Buffy, and I'm here for it. Great drinks and a good vibe! The outdoor patio is where it's at! Covered outdoor bar area with tons of picnic tables and tasteful ambiance. Lots of room on a busy Saturday night! read more

Not a place for BIPOC folks to hang out. The set-up is cool, spacious patio and what not but the food choices are limited. If you do order something and its wrong they'll just remove the 1 item and bring back the same plate. For instance we ordered a burger, no tomato, instead of making a new burger, they took it off and returned 4 mins later with an attitude. Won't ever get my $$ again. read more

Great outdoor patio. Kind of upscale vibe inside. Attractive people where you can often strike up a conversation. Also appreciate that they have cheap Rainiers for those who don't want fancy cocktails. One of my favorite summer spots to go to. read more

Stopped by here after dinner at Canards. Wanted a few more drinks before going back to the hotel. My goodness I thought this place was made for me. Low lighting, sprawling couches, fireplace, great selection of traditional and house cocktails. Ambiance: phenomenal, drinks: great, sadness I feel I couldn't make it more than once: even greater. read more

I went during the afternoon/daytime and had a great time. I just went for casual drinks and some food. The drinks were amazing and so was the food. Our waitress was very nice. The outside seating area is very pretty and a great place to hangout. read more

Ya.... I don't think I have a need to come back here again. The place to me is designed for people who want a drink after work. If your goal is to grab some food then I would recommend eating elsewhere before you come. I had the burger and it was on the plus side of terrible. Not right at terrible but just a little better. The service is slow and not very attentive. Our server had a poor disposition and not very helpful. It is also very loud like a high school cafeteria. For what you get the cost is not great. Not a good value. read more

The Fall Burger (subbed cheddar instead of bleu cheese) was absolutely delicious. Our entire party of 4 ordered it and agreed. Some were disappointed to find out that salad was the only side option (no fries) because they don't have a deep fryer. I personally liked the salad. The Pumpkin Spice Margarita fulfilled my basic girl expectations. We also ordered the hummus appetizer, unfortunately it came out after our burgers instead of a starter. The lack of stars is mostly due to slow service. We were there on a Friday around 5, and there was only a few tables. It took almost 10 minutes for someone to come over and start taking drink orders even though the bar tender and two other waitresses were just standing around mingling. read more

Good drinks and a cool atmosphere. Would definitely come back to this lounge like bar when visiting Portland again. We had a seat right next to the fireplace inside and there is a large outdoor patio with heat lamps for a chilly night. I ordered one of their cocktails featuring cocoa. It wasn't my favorite but I like my drinks on the fruitier side. They keep the lights real dim and the playlist featured some classic r&b so if that's your jam, give this place a try the next time you're in Portland. Good drinks and a lounge like atmosphere. Come enjoy a cocktail with a few friends. read more

Food is small In portion, perfect for a night out with drinks. Beautiful ambiance and service

Super busy on New Year's Eve! I understand. My other half and I are getting our first drink of the night keep in mind! Music is very loud and cannot hear the bald bartender. We asked for a vodka soda. She yells at my other half WHAT FUCKING VODKA. Maybe my hearing is bad but we were yelling! Don't know if this bartender is going through something but as a customer service worker. You do not treat people like that. I was very nice and understanding even after someone yelled at my wife! We didn't really do anything wrong other than asking for a water for someone that was borderline passing out in the line behind us. She was very upset about us asking for water. That's my bad but I'm from a different city where bartenders care about that stuff! I would appreciate if someone talked to the bartender and maybe went through a training or just talked to them. Busy night but treating people unkind after they've waited in line for almost an hour! Feelings not hurt but customer service is everything! Fun place but just check on that bartender. I'm sure they are good at their job but that wasn't right:/ read more

Great ambiance, almost the perfect Portland evening vibe. Ping pong in the courtyard. The food is well crafted comfort food. I enjoyed the Good Deal Gone Bad cocktail and the steak skewers, which had nice flavor (cilantro lime marinade and sauce). Service was fine. A great spot for group conversations. read more

This was my first time taking a friend and the energy the bartenders gave is "miserable, annoyed, and I hate my job". I completely understand customer service is so draining but please fake a smile, greet people kindly, and start a convo?! The ambiance is why I love coming here and the food is always super good, I love the shrimp tacos. read more

Great drinks with a great atmosphere. We stopped in after finishing an early dinner at Canards and grabbed a seat on a nice couch near the fireplace. The drinks were delicious and strong but it takes forever for them to be made. They only had a few small groups of people and it took at least 10 minutes for our drinks to be made. Go there for a good drink but be prepared to wait a while...nothing is quick here. read more

Had a man approach me and my friends in an unsavory manner(threatened to hit multiple of us) at the bar tonight and my friends and I approached staff and staff acted on it immediately!! Gabe let us know that he was 86'd ! We were able to freely enjoy the rest of our night because all of the staff tonight responded immediately and helped us avoid a dangerous situation. 10/10 we will be back !! read more

In town to play for a wedding, and ate here afterwards... :start lounge music here: Deep-Voiceover: "Sometimes you just don't know what you want to eat, until it's presented to you." - Random person I'm my case, it was: House-made tomato bisque soup served with grilled cheese sandwich wedges. AWESOMENESS!!! Maybe, because i was really hungry, or whatevs, but man, this was sooo good! Had a nice spicy kick to it! Recommended by Lyft driver! My boss had a cocktail, which he said had TOO much alcohol in it. I'm like: "Too much? You're weird." I had a super-fruity drink (non alcoholic). He made fun of that. But it was Dee-lish-us! (Especially after drinking just water for the last 8 hours!) Ambiance was interesting, but i think there was another venue attached, as random groups of people kept coming from the back. Service was great and professional! It was slightly busy upon arrival, but they helped us pretty quick! Hope to return here next year!! read more

I've never eaten here, but I enjoy the drinks and free shows on Sunday's. Spacious lounge seating inside and cute patio out back.

It can be a lil wait if your looking to sit outside, but totally worth it. Decent selection of cocktails, and good happy hour food specials. Tomato soup and sandwich was delightful. Wife tried the chicken lettuce wraps and loved them, despite being a picky eater sometimes. The atmosphere is probably the highlight of this place. Outdoor seating is GREAT, very in nature feeling with all the trees and whatnot. The indoor lounge is just as cool, has kind of a dark, sultry, suave feel. read more

One of my fave spots in Portland. Friendly staff, delicious cocktails, great food (get the deviled eggs with bacon - trust me.) It's vibe-y inside and has a spacious patio in the back. And Cory the bar manager is the best. read more

Good cocktails, amazing steak appetizer! We tried almost all of the apps and they were great, except for very average olives.

I love the interior of Rontoms! It's really vibey and they have wonderful cocktails and food. My friend and I sat at the bar and were having a wonderful time catching up until a server began yelling over us at patrons! She was talking negatively about other customers to her coworkers and was cussing about them. I totally get that working in the service industry can be tough, but it's not okay to talk about your customers and about how tired you are and excited to be off shift. The apathy was really disappointing to see. I'll be back to give it a second shot, but I won't be sitting at the bar next time. read more

Overall: This is the first time I've come to this place and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Atmosphere: I loved the atmosphere! This place is all outside/undercover and is lovely. It's private so the people walking outside cannot see you. Inside there are trees and bamboo which give it such nice cozy/outdoorsy feel. Highly recommend going just for the atmosphere. Food: Tried the Dark Mountain drink and it was delicious! It had a sweet/pineapple flavor with a little bit of bitterness, very refreshing. Also tried the BRIE AND SHERRY WINE FONDUE, which was soooo good. It came with bread, apple slices, and red grapes. A little on the pricey side, but was good. Service: Read some reviews for this place that said the servers were rude and customer service was not good but our server was awesome. Super attentive and nice. Was respectful the whole time and made the experience great. One thing I did want to note was that there was another server that kept jumping over this little Gate that was next to us to get from the tables to the kitchen and I don't think something like that should be allowed. read more

Yes yes YES to Rontoms! Nice cool lounge area and there's a huge outdoor patio section! They have a great selection of cocktails and drinks for a good price (around 10$ a cocktail). I had the lavender cocktail and I could not be happier with it! It's not a strong lavender taste but it's very aromatic and it's super easy to drink, very light and refreshing. I hope you get to check this place out. It's well worth it. Also happy hour 4-6 pm! read more

Met up with a coworker for happy hour to try this place out for the first time. They have a very large outdoor seating area with many tables widely spaced out from each other. First drink I got: OK, Cucumber. Light, refreshing drink. Easy to drink and sip on! The cucumber on the glass was a little sad and withered, but I ate it anyway lol Second drink: DF Karamel Russo. One word for this drink: YUM. If you like sweets and chocolate, this drink is for you. It had a dark cocoa rim, which was awesome, and the salted caramel vodka and caramel sauce were so tasty! Probably not the best drink to get if you're like me and *trying* to lose weight/diet, but it was worth it tbh As for the braised pork tacos, they were pretty good! The dish comes with 2 large, very filled tacos. The pork was saucy and juicy. $6 during happy hour [3P-6:30P], which I'd say is a pretty good deal. read more

Nonexistent table service although I went to the bar and they said a server would be will us shortly. No one ever showed up and we were there for hours. Not the first time. Space is good and can accommodate large groups (if you make sure to order at the bar). But there are so many other better places in Portland that I won't go there unless someone else invites me and then I would discourage going to Rontoms in favor of other businesses. read more

Still one of my favorites to go to for happy hour! During covid they are only offering outdoor seating and the tables are really spaced out. The happy hour menu is limited but they are still offering it from 3-6:30 pm which is awesome! The tomatoe soup with grilled cheese is still a must! read more

I go through periods of forgetting how much I really like Rontoms! And then... a group of people want to meet up and I remember! It is awesome for groups! The outside space is large with some space under cover and some outside. There's lots of green garden feel... and big long picnic tables...for your bunch of friends. Love the drinks... the vibes and the food was good, too. Inside is perfect for a winter day... they have a fireplace and a big open room with loads of seating. read more

Came here for a catered/open bar(ish) event. It was a HS reunion and we got to see the venue pretty good. The food provided was good, not amazing, but the vibe was very lively here... the out doors had smoking and smoking ;) and the inside was much more 'night club' like where it was quiter and had the dark vibe. I think people can find a spot to feel less awkward in the different locations the venue offered. The drinks were good, but not overly strong. They do free pour, so that means you get what you are lucky enough to get... So might want to send the right person to the bar to get your drinks and make sure to tip up front, it always helps the pour in my opinion. The old place had the hunting game... that was cool :( read more
