    Modern Speakeasy Vibes. We walked in after our dinner nearby and were impressed by the liquor wall with a ladder. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and kinda, guiding my fiancée in his scotch tasting. There's food too, but we didn't try anything. The speakeasy old timey vibe makes for a perfect date spot

    Fancy way to make French fries!

    Hard to imagine that this place exists in Portland or any mid size city! It is so very cool! The scotch list is clearly amazing (had a dram of 30 year) but the food and service steals the show. Exquisite food that would clearly have 3 Michelin stars if they covered Portland. Our servers were all spectacular and very knowledgeable. This place is a must visit when in Portland.

    Service, drinks, and food were 10/10 incredible. We came at 4 pm and had the 6 for $12 oysters, arancini, and prosciutto with amazing fresh bread to start. Everything was full of incredible flavor and done beautifully. We ended with the Parpadelle with candied duck and it blew us away. The sauce, noodles, and duck were so yummy. Will be back again to try more from the menu

    This little hidden gem was the cutest and had nice vibes. We waited about 20 mins before getting a table Saturday night, but it was worth the wait. Get the Moon Age Daydream! The gin was well hidden, yuzu and green tea flavor came through. Refreshing and soo smooth!

    10/10 EXPERIENCE!!! I came here mainly to check out some of their interesting food items and grab a quick drink or two. Gotta say I was blown away by how amazing everything tasted here. Service was really great, helpful, and lightning quick. Food has gotta be hands down some of the best I've ever had. The twists on traditional dishes were all executed to PERFECTION. Oysters were a must and I can say I've never had oysters served that way but it was incredible. Wagyu tartare was so flavorful and rich that I was scraping the plate at the end for more. And finally the panna cotta was the perfect ending adding a delicious light strawberry finish that wasn't too sweet but so good. Would HIGHLY recommend all 3 as they're all 10/10 in my experience. Definitely make your way over here because the drinks are also amazing and they have other options that aren't whiskey/scotch as well. Next time I'm in town I'm definitely coming here again!!

    $2 Kumamoto orders after 10pm!! The food, the scotch, the ambiance and the kind servers were amazing. The bread here is divine. Everything was delicious, but our favorite were definitely the brussel sprouts & the beef tartare. Will definitely come back! It's a great place to take visitors to or for an intimate date/hang-out. Highly recommend trying the scotch flight. Our favorite was the international flight.

    The food was amazing, the fries were unique and the perfect snack. The brussel sprouts with that chili crisp was something I'd not had before and highly recommend. The prosciutto with the pear was unreal, I enjoyed everything we ate here. I'm not a scotch drinker so I can't speak to the drinks. I ordered the Blind Melon with gin which was nice! Very friendly and attentive service. It was quite loud inside but we were still able to conversate at our table. We had a reservation on a Friday for 4ppl, which I would recommend. I think some people had to be turned away because it was busy and it's a small space

    Come for the whisky, stay for the entire experience.

    Scotch Lodge continues to stand our as one of the most refined dining options in Portland. A beautifully curated small food menu is accompanied by the largest whisky menu I've ever seen. The space is elegant and intimate (reservations are a must) and service is prompt and efficient, though never hovering. There are usually only a couple of pasta options, and they always seem to be unique to Scotch Lodge. This is a place that our adult daughter always wants to visit as a special occasion when she is in town, and she's taken to brining my wife and I along, mostly so that she can sample more items from their menu. This is a truly special place.

    Love scotch lodge! Have been here a few times and it's always delicious. Love their oysters and the rotating granita flavors- so fun and unique! Service is always great and the drinks are phenomenal. It is more of a pricey spot so good for date nights/special occasion's.

    Was in town for a few days and stopped by. The drinks were amazing as well as the service. This should be a staple speakeasy.

    We had very late "New York" reservations for my partner's birthday dinner and needed a way to kill an hour and a half or so beforehand. What better way than wandering into a bar? Not just any bar would do though.... enter the Scotch Lodge. It's not quite the Platonic ideal of a high class bar, but dang, it's very close. Very very close. I mean, it's a bar where you pretty much need reservations, so it's no dive. Fortunately, I had those and we were seated at the bar rail on the curve, just about perfect location. It's a high end bar - house designed cocktails, great food options, impeccable atmosphere. And while you could have ordered something that you could have gotten anywhere else, what would be the point? Our bartender, Jeremy, was super friendly and knowledgeable and freely shared his enthusiasm for what he was doing and accommodated our curiosity about the selection -- which is massive and encyclopedic. We finally settled on our first round - my partner had a Like a Love Song, and I had a Lock Stock. Like a Love Song was very boulevardier adjacent - blended scotch, coffee vermouth, chocolate Campari with an amaro cream float over a big rock. Absolutely delicious. Loch Stock was Manhattan adjacent - split base with mezcal and peated scotch, a splash of Ancho Reyes for some kick, and tea infused sweet vermouth, with mole bitters, with an amazing lemon garnish. Beautiful and tasty. Savoring those and discussing what was next we decided for some snacks but wanted to keep it light as we were heading into something more akin to an Event than a mere meal, so we opted for the Pickle Spiced Fries. I was seriously surprised - crispy fries, coated in powdered dried dill pickles and salt. Just amazing. I had no idea I needed that in my life but now I do. Served with sour cream mixed with fresh dill. Just amazing. With the fries in hand we turned to the second round of drinks. My partner had a Namesake, and I had Penicillin. The Namesake was bold and impressive - scotch, cherry liqueur, sweet vermouth and cynar - again, very boulevardier adjacent but very different. Penicillin was also elevated - split base with Laphroaig sherry cask and Auchentoshan 12 under the traditional lemon and ginger. Here's the thing... I really love a good cocktail and make them at home frequently. I'm adventurous and have a large stock of interesting booze, and subscriptions to recipes and such. I'm not really looking to go sit someplace and drink something I'd have at home in an environment that is not inspired. The Scotch Lodge just blew my hopes away in this regard. I had no idea that it was going to be this good and I'll absolutely guarantee that we'll be back. Highest recommendation.

    Namesake ($16) & Reserve Penicillin ($26)

    4.5 STARS Date: Sunday, March 2nd, 2024 Time: around 9:15pm Party of: 3 *Pickle Fries ($10) *Namesake ($16) *Reserve Penicillin ($26) *Islay Daiquiri ($16) *1 oz tamdhu batch strength ($18) *1 oz glenfarclas 12 yr ($12) *1 oz glenallachie 15 yr ($21) *1 oz pokeno px sherry ($21) *1 oz dalmore 12 yr ($12) *1 oz glendronach 12 yr ($12) I've been wanting to go to Scotch Lodge for some time. When we found ourselves on this side of the river, we decided to finally check it out. We walked in without a reservation and luckily they had a table for us. I wanted cocktails, but the boys wanted tastings, so we asked our server to create something based on their whisky preferences. They seemed to like their pours. I started with the namesake. If am old fashioned and a mahattan had a baby, I'd think it would be similar to this. I'm a fan of both cocktails, so this was a fun play. Since we had been drinking all day, I wanted something lighter afterwards. Enter the penicillin. I normally don't like peaty scotches, but it was completely fine here. Not too smokey. I have no idea why pickle fries were ordered, but they looked okay. Glad I finally came here. The scotch offerings don't seem to be that unique or hard to find, but I enjoyed their cocktails.

    Under 21 allowed for dinner? Our 20 year old wants to join us for dinner.

    I am not sure but I don't think this is the right place for little kids. Older kids would be fine. It is very alcohol forward place. It is beautiful inside and an older kid would probably enjoy it.

    Is this place still open? Showed up at 7pm on a Sunday night and no sign of anyone.

    Yes they are open

    Do they allow minors at any time?

    I believe until 8:00 :)

    Do they take reservations?

    No reservations but the wait is pretty minimal.

    Scotch Lodge, do they have any happy hour specials on food or drinks?

    Scotch Lodge just rolled out a new happy hour (4pm-6pm) and late night (10pm-12am) menu Sun-Thurs. A bunch of new food items and some great cocktails too! Perfect spot for happy hour.

    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.

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

The food is genuinely excellent, way above what most people would consider "bar food." Calling it a bar almost feels wrong anyway.

The space is intimate, low-lit, and comfortable in a way that makes you want to settle in and stay a while rather than rotate out for the next group.
