    This place was such an awesome, surprise find! Walking by from a distance, it looks like a typical high school, but we noticed umbrellas on the roof and decided to investigate. Sure enough, this place is known for their burgers, roof top bar and is also a concert venue!! You can take the elevator up to the roof, or walk through the school, reminiscing about how good or bad those days were. They had standard bar drinks and some frozen, slushee drinks too! All of the bartenders and hostesses were very friendly and helpful. We didn't end up trying the food here but we did enjoy the beautiful evening weather and overcast sunset sky. Great weather, refreshing drinks and awesome company! Can't recommend this place enough!

    Delicious Smashburger!

    Decided to have a bite to eat before the show. Ordered a Smashburger and it was absolutely phenomenal. One of the best I've ever had. The fries are also delicious. I like the shoestring fries crisp on the outside soft on the inside. Just perfect.

    The atmosphere was energetic. The BTA sandwich was yummy. The classic burger was okay. The vegan chicken tenders were lacking in flavor and definitely not worth $16. The bartender who took our orders was very cold, smug, and not welcoming. He wouldn't make eye contact and was not friendly. Weird to work in a customer service role and act miserable when having to interact with people. My friends and I still had a good time regardless. Not an establishment I would ever visit again.

    pizza that looks like it jumped off a ten story building

    what is this atrocity of a pizza? i've had better looking pizza in elementary school. normally $5 a slice is a steal but what is this mess? not even little caesar's would do this to me and that's bottom of the barrel pizza. count ur days show bar italy will be coming after you

    A great spot if you're seeing a show at Revolution or just in the area. The monthly burger (August 2023) is a vegan chicken burger with spicy "Cheeto" dust on it. It's pretty fun and not too spicy. Good selection on tap. The view from the rooftop bar is the real prize here and offers a great spot to see the Portland skyline. The service was solid and food got to me quickly even if It was a bit busy.

    I had been to Revolution Hall for a concert... Which I believe they have a great set up for but wanted to try out their food. I had a chance to meet a couple friends so figured we would check out Show Bar. The parking is either on the street or there is a area behind the building to park. Finding the entrance to the space was a little tough but finally found it. It's a cute little space with great light from the tall windows. You order food and drink at the bar and they give you the drink and a buzzer. When the buzzer goes off you go pick it up at a window down the hall. They feature pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads and some appetizers. They do have a burger of the month and change it up. I ordered "the shredder" salad ($7) It contained Shredded iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, tomatoes, bacon, blue cheese & croutons with ranch dressing. And I also ordered onion rings ($5). My order was up really fast and when I dug into it unfortunately it was nothing special. The onion rings or pre-processed/frozen and over cooked. The salad was small... More like a side salad instead of an entrée. There are several other bars in the building because it's very large. It used to be Washington high school. This food is OK somebody's just grabbing a snack before a concert.

    What an awesome place to hang out. The main bar is pretty chill. Great location, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and the drinks are made well. Servers are friendly, and very helpful. They know how to make drinks, even when you throw them a curveball. Food is pretty good, although a little spendy. Even though is tasted great, I definitely would eat somewhere else before coming back again Rooftop lounge is great as well. Amazing views of downtown, and plenty of seating there as well. Even have a rooftop bar, so you don't have to take the elevator back down to get drinks. Event space is intimate, and comfortable. Great space to see up and coming new musical artists. We had a blast! Only issue I see: no restrooms on rooftop. Kind of a bummer, so you have to be aware, as you either have to walk down 4 floors or wait for the elevator.

    Are you really closed on a Saturday show night and all?

    During these times when it's tough to find employees you should probably call before you go to see if they are open.

The space is minimal and industrial which is what we liked. The plants provided by the venue bring the space to life so well. Honestly, you need minimal decorations for it to be wedding ready. Having the outdoor space for cocktail hour, food trucks, beer pong, etc. was incredible. We had about 175 guests, so we really enjoyed the flow and space for our guests to get fresh air if needed. The Castaway team was helpful, responsive, and so great to work with! Highly recommend for weddings, events, etc. Thank you Castaway team!

We did the WildWood Trail to the Witches Castle! It's a nice hike. Wear appropriate shoes and clothes! 2.3-5 miles round trip. It's a big enough path for multiple people but some areas narrow. The climb down is good but man back up lol you will feel the burn. They have restrooms onsite indoor and then they have a bathroom in the mansion basement. Toilets flush loud don't be alarmed. At the bottom of the trail when you cross the street, there was a porta potty. Map as well. Parking is expensive: weekend Saturday it was roughly $24 for all day! There are benches and picnic tables towards the view! Staff are very nice! Gift shop as well with snacks, plants, jewelry, postcards, and all sorts of items.

    "Dam Good Whiskey!" -- A Beaver's Review of Westward Distillery…read more Well chew my bark and call me industrious--Westward Distillery has crafted a whiskey so fine it made my tail thump like a drum on spring thaw! I waddled in skeptical. After all, we beavers know a thing or two about craftsmanship: sharp teeth, strong wood, steady paws. But the moment those folks poured me a sample of their American Single Malt, I realized I was in the presence of fellow artisans--humans who build with barley the way I build with birch. The aroma? Like sniffing a warm cedar log at sunset, with a hint of orchard fruit drifting downstream. The taste? Smooth as a freshly planed maple branch, with a delicious grain character that made me contemplate abandoning dam construction to pursue professional sipping full-time. The finish? Long, warm, and rich--lingering like the satisfaction of placing the final stick on a perfectly engineered lodge roof. And don't get me started on the place itself. The distillery is polished, welcoming, and smells pleasantly of oak instead of predators. The staff? Delightful! Not one of them tried to trap me, and they spoke about their whiskey with the passion of creatures who truly love their craft. Westward, my whiskered friends, you have built something remarkable. If I had opposable thumbs, I'd raise a glass. Instead, I'll slap my tail in tribute: THWAP THWAP THWAP! That's beaver for "EXQUISITE WORK, KEEP IT UP."
