One of the better cocktails I've had in a long time. The bartender Mike was incredibly talented and super nice. Recommended the Daiquiri which isn't something I normally get but glad I did. Must get: The Daiquiri and the Deviled Eggs. Good vibes, will be back!! Thanks Mike!!! read more

I only happened to know of this place through advertising at a nearby movie theater, so after the movie we were wanting to go get a drink and check it out. Parking was difficult as it was all street parking and we were unable to find any spots that felt safe within a few blocks so we parked in a parking garage and walked a few blocks. The bar is cute and tiny with energetic music playing and friendly bartenders. It is a bit hard to carry a conversation here so you really have to be in close quarters with the other person. The drink menu has many awesome rum drink choices and they do have a 4-7 pm weekday happy hour. Drink prices are on par with other bars that serve cocktails and on average about $15. They have food and snacks, which I did not get but looked like a decent option. They also have a small outside seating area. It was a great vibe and I notice a wide age group there. I asked the bartender how long they've been around and they said 15 years. I can't believe I haven't been here before. That do charge a 3% credit card fee so cash is king. I would definitely like to come back and try some of their other rum drinks. It does feel like they might be a little too heavy handed in the ice but the drinks are delicious and you can taste the rum in a good way. read more

Fun place to come with very good cocktails. They have an awesome, large bar inside with some tables. They have a decent sized covered patio outdoors to enjoy the nice weather. The service was excellent, and the bartenders made some excellent drink recommendations. Speaking of the drinks, you will definitely get your money's worth. Every drink we had was incredibly delicious! I've been going here for a while now, and they never disappoint. If you haven't given this place a shot, please do so! read more

This review is for the RUM CAKE WITH TAMARIND DRIZZLE. okay yall this thing changed my life because I make homemade cakes and you can tell this thing was a work of art. Mouthgasm is real. The Ice cream was perhaps a tad too creamy for my liking but the cake is the thing to get. I also had a couple cocktails which were nice. I forgot the names bc the cake sent me to heaven and took me a while to come back. read more

I came here on a first date. We both got a drink. I got the daiquiri which was tasty. My date got a frozen peach drink that was on special. Overall the vibe was nice as we had sat at the bar. They do have outdoor seating but none was available when we showed up. The food smelled amazing but we didn't eat. Overall I would come back to try another drink or two. read more

Great spot when you're in the mood for Rum or simply a cool spot for a great drink. Cozy and edgy. Masters of their craft. I loved this place the first time I tried it several years ago. Have been a great fan ever since. Got nostalgic tonight after a nice dinner up on Belmont and walked a mile across town to visit again. It was well worth the walk (and the walk was great too!). read more

Rum Club has a nice dim atmosphere that's cozy without feeling pretentious. I love that they offer Rainier for the budget-minded -- a thoughtful touch! The food looks great, though I haven't tried it yet. Overall, a solid spot for drinks and a relaxed vibe. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Came in here around 6pm on a Sunday as a group of 9, there was another couple at the bar but otherwise it was just us. It's dark inside, a couple tiny windows near the top of the walls, basement-style but the vibe is eclectic and cute. It's small so there was nowhere ideal for us to sit but We sat at a few tables in the corner, bringing them together in a little L shape - it worked. The server was nice, i tried the happy hour rum punch which was super yummy and only $6. The rest of the group tried a bunch of other cocktails and really liked them for the most part. They loved the glassware and even bought a few of the branded cups the bar sells to take home with us. The outdoor area was also very cute, intimate and enclosed enough to feel private but still have good lighting. If it wasn't so chilly and rainy we would have sat outside. Thanks for a nice experience! read more

Yucky drinks, so crowded we were forgotten. Atmosphere is not great, cold and crowded. Sorry.

These people love people, they love rum and they love to love people by serving them rum!! There are not enough words to describe how kind and welcoming the staff were, they truly exemplify excellent service. The rum list is extensive, with bottles stacked three deep and running tall enough that part of the entertainment is watching the bartenders attempt to reach them all Their daiquiri has a unique and tasty twist, and be sure to check out the seasonal drink specials. The food menu has a lil something for everyone, something to keep things balanced while you enjoy all the rum read more

First time back in over five years. Enjoyed the service and chat from the owner of the bar. The rum cocktail with Amontillado and honey was refreshingly satisfying on a hot day. The special - a shrimp asparagus mix - served with homemade chips - was a hit. The rum cake was meh, but I definitely connected with the ice cream. Still a great bar and vibe. read more

Order: Pedro Martínez- RC Rum, Torino Vermouth, Maraschino, orange & falernum bitters, lemon oil w/ big cube. Daiquiri. Pros: love the ambiance! Its dim lights with great music. The Pedro is really really good! Pretty smooth and you taste all the flavors not super sweet and not super bitter! The musicccccc is everything! Cons: parties of 5 they charge 20% gratuity and split the checks 3 ways only (not a fan). I'll take the 20% gratuity but damn let me pay for my own check. read more

Love this place. It's perfect for the winter. It is warm and cozy on the inside and they have a variety of warm drinks that are delicious.

Hell. Yes. The most surprisingly good bar food I've had in a long time (got the tofu boka doshi bowl). Not really a rum drinker and felt I still had good drink options. Tried Doors & Corners (rum + sherry) on a whim and now I guess I'm rum drinker read more

Very cool, chill, and mellow. The name "Rum Club" is perfect for the description. For a Sunday at 5pm it's just the perfect chill, lively spot. Servers/Bartenders came when we needed them but they weren't smothering by talking our ear off. We didn't end up getting any food but totally okay! read more

I was in town for a work conference and this place was a five minute walk from my hotel. It has an excellent selection of rum based cocktails but they also offer non rum options if rum isn't your drink of choice. There's a limited food menu but I didn't order any of the bar bites. Vibes were low key but do arrive early cause seating is limited. All seating was taken by 8:00 on a Wednesday night. Service was friendly and attentive. I'll be stopping by again the next time I'm in Portland! read more

I can't believe I have not been to the Rum Club until now! Really cute and tiny cozy cocktail bar with friendly staff. We went specifically to try their famous Hot Buttered Rum for the Christmas holiday. It was delicious. The cocktail is served perfectly warm with Jamaican rum blend, butter, sugar, bitters and winter spices. I absolutely loved the smooth buttery flavor. It was easy to drink. I found the flavor familiar with a touch of uniqueness. We also tried their Deviled Eggs -pomegranate beet pickled eggs with horseradish sorfrito and herbs. These very red deviled eggs are delicious and perfect to share, qty 4. We will go back for happy hour! read more

I had very good rum drink made with local source peaches. I typically get a mai tai, but since this was a local seasonal drink, I figured I needed to take advantage of the opportunity. It was well balanced, not overly sweet. The staff was very knowledgeable about all the drinks and the party I was with had lots of questions. read more

Came by to check out Rum Club as we were waiting for our reservation at another place but I never knew the place existed before! Their location might be missed but they are part of the quad of bar casa vale, jackies, and slammer tavern so walking distance from all these places. They have a small outdoor area which is a switch from their indoor area since it's much dinner and gives a small speakeasy vibe without being a speakeasy. Look at the walls because who doesn't love a dog painting. haha. They serve food here but since we came for drinks we just checked out their specials on the board. On the board they have a cocktail and punch special so be sure to check it out - this time they had an El Diablo (tequila mule). They also seem to have a happy hour time and menu but we missed it this visit so come before 6 on the weekdays. Solid spot for drinks in the area which a cool ambiance. Can come with groups but seems like smaller groups will be better for the space. read more

Oh lordy how I miss the vibes that this place curated. Always felt welcome, always delivered on amazing cocktails, food selection on point, always met incredibly interesting people here. And it never felt too cool or too trendy, bartenders were always down to earth and just nice, lending to that approachable atmosphere. The perfect bar. read more

We have gone to this place for three years in a row for New Year's. Generally the food is great, even though the menu is very small. This year, however, the best item on the menu (Fried Rice) was missing. We ordered at least one of every item, and the only really notable item this year was the Shrimp Toast. Definitely try that. The Lamb Sliders were also good. The skewers were bland, but cooked well, the pole was really boring and needed more sauce or furikake, and the tostada things were boring. However, the drinks, as always, were spot on. The booze menu is fantastic. The server was friendly and competent. We'll go back, but we were disappointed this time. This place is generally a 5 but this time it was a 3. read more

I've driven by the Rum Club many times, so I had high hopes when I finally visited. My friend and I decided to check it out after dinner one evening. The interior is small..A horseshoe shaped bar with tables around the perimeter, wallpaper with hummingbirds, Christmas lights, dark, and loud. It was a vibe. We chose to sit at the bar. Our server was curt and seemed to cater more to the regulars than new customers. My friend ordered the Rum Punch which he said tasted like bath water. He also finished his cocktail in 3 sips. Not sure it was worth the price tag attached. I tried the Rum Daiquiri. It did not remind me of any daiquiri I've ever tasted. I was sadly disappointed by my experience at the Rum Club and had hoped for so much more. read more

Came here on a Friday evening around 5 pm and we were able to snag some seats right at the bar. Rum Club has a fun vibe to it. Definitely has the classic tiki bar vibe without being kitschy or pretentious. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered: -Awkward Conversation ($12) - an elevated Mai Tai with a fun twist in it with the cacao -Louder Than Love ($13) - the spiced rum in this was delicious I also had a sip of my friend's Rum Punch and Old Quartermaster, both fantastic as well. Yeah I'm a sucker for rum drinks so obviously I loved RUM club. However, even if rum isn't your drink of choice I'd still give this place a visit! read more

This is my new favorite bar in Portland, how do I get a membership? The ambience is subtle yet strong, tucked away on Sandy you'd never know this presence existed. Great outdoor seating area, perfect for shot skis, AMAZING cocktails and a perfectly complimentary food menu. Brad had the greatest recommendations on Bajan rum -- as a woman from the Caribbean I take my rum seriously. Absolutely loved the whole experience and I will be taking all of my friends here when they come to visit me in Portland. read more

Rum Club - three wine glasses on a bar - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Exceeded expectations! Service: great; attentive and went beyond what was required Atmosphere: Dark. Somewhat loud, modern electronic/dance-y music. Not quite my scene, but it felt professional and local. Most rum bars are kitschy tropical and not very polished. Hale Pele already has polished tiki down, so Rum Club blazes their own distinctly non-tiki aesthetic trail, while not falling into kitsch of any variety. It just felt very Portland. Drinks: Tasty and unique! Heavy focus on originals, using fresh ingredients in novel combinations. My party wasn't always satisfied with what they received,* but I liked my drinks just fine, especially the Space Warrior, which had a pleasant black pepper kick (though why they listed blue curaçao in the menu as simply "blue" I'm at a loss). Air Horn and Divine Hammer were fine. We did not test out their adeptness at standards like Daiquiris, Mai Tais, Zombies, etc, but I assume they'd be solid. *Fino Countdown was accepted as pretty good but overly rounded and lacking something. I flat out would not recommend the N/A Toddy, which has numerous sour and bitter elements (accentuated by the heat) but zero sweet ones--not even a little honey--so it's just a hot, unpleasant experience through and through. I think whoever is in charge of the cocktail program here should take a fresh look at that one; it's a huge faux pas imo, and DD's especially deserve better. Overall these folks have a strong cocktail program they should be proud of (reminded me a little of Zombie Village in SF), but an even stronger rum program that they appear to be ashamed of. I've been to several bars with larger rum selections, but the rum flights here are the best I've seen anywhere--taking into account not only the rums they chose but the categories they created for them. I'd recommend any of them! (Bonus points for recognizing Plantation/Plateray as a French producer.) But I saw no mention of this on the website, and you have to ask for the rum list, just by assuming they have one. The prices are generally pretty reasonable, and I LOVE that they offer all pours in 1 and 2 oz sizes (like Pagan Idol), further democratizing the wild and wonderful world of rum. I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars; it would be a pretty easy 5 (for me) if not for the Toddy (others in my party seemed to give off more 3/4 vibes). I'll leave it as 5 for now because I'd like to go back and try something else (another original, a standard, a rum or two...); we'll see how that goes if I do :) read more

Still one of the best cocktail spots in the city. Amazing staff, intimate setting, and reasonable prices for a city where most cocktails increasingly cost north of $15. Whether you're stopping in for a daiquiri or a beer and a shot, it's a great spot to while away an hour... or three. If you visit in the summer, make sure to order a strawberry or peach blendy if they're in season! read more

I went to Rum Club recently and the music was SO loud, I could hardly hear myself think. My date and I had to move outside with our drinks because we couldn't even have a conversation without shouting. The drinks were okay, but very sweet. Maybe it's just not my vibe. read more

we arrived on a Sunday night around 830, they don't have any tables open, asked us to go back around 9. We went to the bar across the street for a bit, went back and got us a table about 15 minutes wait. Even tho we aren't really into rums, their drinks are very nice, we got two drinks on the menu, and one that isn't, you'd have to ask them for it, tbh I really don't remember the name now, but they will make it special upon request. read more
