Today I was really craving oysters, so I looked up what was around me and this cute little spot popped up. The ambiance was adorable, with such a nice patio out back--perfect for a warm day! Unfortunately, oysters are only available on Sundays, but we decided to grab a couple of other little snacks instead. We got the steak tartare, and I have to say, it was honestly some of the best I've had in a long time. It had the perfect smoky touch and absolutely hit the spot. We also tried the sardine plate, which was such a fun little snack. The tzatziki sauce surprisingly paired so well with the Spanish sardines and really pulled everything together. Spanish sardines with a Middle Eastern-inspired sauce? Pretty clever! Our server was also lovely and came out to check on us throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. For just a little drop-in snack, the whole experience was surprisingly memorable and definitely left us wanting to come back. Such a cute spot! I'll definitely be adding this one to my list of go-tos with friends. Can't believe it's been right around the corner and I'm just discovering it! read more

Dare I say it? Someday might be my second favorite spot to get seafood in Portland, right behind Jacquelines - which if you know the cult following on Jacquelines in Portland, that is saying something. The ambiance is downright whimsical! Great wine selection, gorgeous floral installations, and one of those spaces where you immediately want to settle in with a book in hand. But let's talk about the crudo. I still think about that crudo. Bright, lemony, silky olive oil - simple but done so well. We even asked our waitress if we can keep the leftover olive oil to use it with the bread we ordered lol The oysters were also fantastic. They were barbecued, which isn't something you see every day. A little drier than a raw oyster, but still full of flavor. Limited seating so be sure to call ahead of time for a reservation if need be. This feels like the kind of place you celebrate something special, and honestly, I would not mind spending a birthday here at all! Worth it. btw the alleyway walking up to this place is so charming. read more

what a kewt and quaint little spot! the excel when it comes to building a nice vibrant, space for both indoor and outdoor dining. you can tell straight away that each of their cocktail drinks are thoughtfully curated and crafted - it goes without mentioning, that the staff can provide great recommendations if you feel torn between the options like we were. all in all, it was a great experience - and i can find myself coming back again whenever i'm in the hawthorne area! read more

It was my first time here and we wanted to get oysters, but they only have that on Sundays. But this was a nice late night stop for some drink, drinks and carbs! The pate did not have that after taste of liver or iron taste. The steak tartare was phenomenal with bread. The anchovies were pretty salty, but with the oil and lemon vinaigrette it balanced out with bread. My drinks or gin, gin, fizz, which was refreshing. The other one I got was Harry and David. If I remember that correctly, that was also light and refreshing. Will most likely have to come back for brunch on Sundays. This was a nice cozy spot and it feels like we were underground, but we weren't. And it can get loud here with other people's conversations, but we all had a great time. read more

Wonderful little spot hidden in an alley, we had a great bottle of chilled red here on a warm summer evening with some burrata and bread, and got some great tips from Hayley for other places to try both in the neighborhood and farther out. Very mellow vibe and wonderful service. Add: we came back the next afternoon for Oyster Sunday, where the patio smells like a bbq, and the oysters come grilled or raw, and we had both. Plus more bread and wine of course! read more

Someday - Oyster Sunday! Grilled and raw + a hunka bread and a bottle of wine! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been searching for a mind blowing steak tartare ever since gumba on Alberta closed down and I've FINALLY found it!!! And this one is even better. The aioli, crostini, tartare, everything about this dish is hands down incredible. Their wine selection and drink menu is wonderful, especially as someone who loves orange wine I love seeing that option! I'm currently writing this review as I wait for my second round of tartare, because that's how good it is. read more

Oh and by the way not to be so long winded but recent Chef Wallace pop up at Someday was ridiculous!! read more

Came here for an oyster popup and was happy to try their other dishes as well. Starting off, the crudo was the bomb. I had never tried it before and the flavor of raw fish mixed in with olive oil was exquisite. With ousters, we ordered both regular and bbq flavoring. The regular ones were great, but something felt off about the bbq. Maybe not the restaurant, but the flavor added and the way the oyster was cooked wasn't the expectation we had going into it. I was also happy to see they serve orange wine here which paired nicely with the seafood dishes. Always happy to find these little nooks along the many oyster popups, and would easily come back again. read more

This place is so cute! I've been here a handful of times for wine and snacks and everything is always delicious. The staff is so helpful with picking the right wine and their selection is always fantastic! Their food also compliments everything so well, we had the crudo and it was so light and bright! Always recommend this place to people and it's definitely at the top of my list. read more

The cutest bar on Division! I grabbed the pineapple mocktail along with some delicious bites. Definitely get the burrata and the steak tartare. We also got the octopus, but it lacked depth compared to the other two dishes. My friend really wanted the scallop crudo, but it didn't thaw in time. Sad. The staff is all so friendly and vibes are so cozy. We sat in the back patio area, and it's definitely such a nice area to chill with friends and eat good food. read more

On a gloriously sunny day, the patio at Someday is perfection. The inside has a minimalist modern feel but somehow manages to feel cozy and comforting. The cocktails are divine and our server was so helpful picking out a good one. We enjoyed some of the small plates and liked the option of trying the food carts if we wanted different fare. The bread and butter, such a simple but stupid good combo. We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious cocktails & great service! Nice & cozy in this rainy weather. Good place to go with friends.

Cute bar that is hidden from the main road! I never hear of Someday but went to Ruthies to grab some food and was able to sit inside to grab some drinks to enjoy with our meal. We were lucky to nab a couple seats at the bar to enjoy the space and cocktails. Cocktails here were balanced and really delicious! Staff here was super friendly and looking around they also sell some food to enjoy but we didn't order any. read more

Cute small bar with good drinks and some decent bar food. Good service. They allow you to bring the food cart food in and eat at Someday. Ruthie's cart shares the same space. read more

I came for the Tlaxco Tacos pop-up with Son of Sagardo, so not sure how representative this is of a normal experience. It is a very cozy space and probably would be challenging for large crowds. The ambience has just the right lighting and warmth. The staff were generally attentive and friendly. For the event itself, I enjoyed my wine but really thought there's be more cider from Son of Sagardo. The hamachi tostada was amazing and perfectly flavorful. I'll have to come back sometime to see what it's like without an event. read more

Amazing food. Excellent cocktails and a great wine list. The owners are awesome and their staff is fantastic.

Love love love this place Had come here over the summer for oysters and had such a magical time so came back with a friend on a Sunday night only to hear that they were sold out of oysters! Before we could be too disappointed - the waitress made some great recommendations - French onion dip & chips - Scallops (LIFE CHANGING) - sardines and the tastiest bread to dip Amazing dinner and such a sultry dim lit ambience Amazing service & wine list, highly recommended read more

Someday has an airy, Mediterranean feel to it, and a lovely variety of cocktails to match. Look for an alley that opens onto SE Division St -the only signage I noticed out on the sidewalk was for one of the food carts in the patio area behind the bar (which hopefully have a nice, symbiotic relationship with Someday). We did not try any of the food, but's always nice to leave with new things to try on your next trip. The atmosphere at Someday (I'm using a capital 'S', so it hopefully stands out more as the business name) is what will really get me out of the house - this feels like a real destination, not moored in a particular place or time, but someplace that I'd really enjoy hanging out. read more

This restaurant was such a treat!!! Found it looking for Ruthies. The owner was very nice and helpful and extremely patient and kind to our little ones. The food and drinks were really good! Fresh ingredients with blasts of flavor and curated authenticity. I really enjoyed the tomato dish and pizza with anchovies, as well as this unique mustard lettuce salad. Really good experience and would def recommend! read more

Super awkward bartender. Last summer I came here with my twin brother and we had both turned 21 a few months prior. The bartender made a show of ignoring our IDs and trying to make us feel unwelcome. It was totally awkward and ruined the experience. The drinks were OK typical new business cocktail bar. Nothing special. Bad service read more

Amazing place, it has no signage but those pull out signs for food carts that's it. Was the best place and experience during my trip. Slight delays with certain items but small peas. Everyone was so friendly, the food trucks were awesome and the drink list was great! Patio seats in the rear, small tables in alley and standing room. read more

Truly a hidden gem- the front entrance is down an alley way so you might miss it, but what a treasure! We stopped in for some pre-dinner drinks, and ended up ordering food as well as our neighboring tables were both ooohing and ah-ing! The Gin Fizz cocktail was truly one of the best I have ever had- velvety smooth with the addition of rose water. The tartare was also amazing, very unique and the endive cups it is served with were a great addition! They even have a small mocktail and N/A selection! Service was great, multiple people checked in on us throughout our experience. This was an all around hit, and can't wait to return for Oyster Sunday! Cheers! read more

We came here to grab a drink while getting dinner from the food carts outside and the service was extremely slow at Someday - the server came by once to take our drink orders then bring them by and we never saw him again. After about an hour I had to go up to the register and wait for someone to come by to let us pay our bill so we could leave since the waiter never came back by our table to ask how things were or to bring us the bill. Felt like we were not 'cool enough' to be there, other tables were helped while we waited patiently. I would have ordered a second drink if anyone had come by to check on us, but we waited so long I decided it wasn't worth it. read more

Had the pleasure of stopping by this place during a Portland visit. Let me just say the cocktail scene in Portland is already insane, but this place is a true gem. Great drinks and the best staff. Will absolutely be coming back on my next trip! read more

A pretty cool and almost hidden spot in Se Division area. The ambience is nice and cozy with almost an intimate feeling in the inside and more of an open vibe in the back patio area. The place makes great cocktails and also has a small menu of snacks. There's a few carts operating in the back if you are hungry. Overall, a cool spot and good experience. read more

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't heard of this bar from local write ups, but let me pretend: a really hip friend who lives blocks from the venue recommended it and I pretended to be cooler by pretending I had no idea of its existence. I'm by no means a super cool person (referring to "Portland" cool here) so I'd been wary of showing up and feeling a fool. That said, after a few Tequila Martinez at an overpacked Pearl bar, I took him up on his offer to go and give it a try. SO COOL. SO HIP. I promise you, walking in felt like stepping into a well lit desert oasis. The bar is a pretty small modern looking space tucked into an alley in the Richmond neighborhood. Lots of neutral colors going on, which is definitely #trending. Servers looked like what you expect. Tats, fisherman beanies and that slightly aloof stare that tells you you're not quite as awesome as them. The drink menu looked pretty straightforward, with clearly named cocktails and a decent list of by the glass wines and a few beers on tap. The food options range from tinned sardines and crackers to a Snickers ice cream bar sandwich. It didn't make sense with the space but maybe there's some irony there I'm missing. The beer I chose was fine, and the olives were buttery. Looks like there's a nice outdoor area that will pack up in the warmer months. I'm an easy 4 star reviewer so there you have it. Cool servers, cool space, and an interesting menu. Definitely felt a bit of an outsider in the space, but I'll chalk it up to the small group of people in French wigs and matching attire casually drinking and hanging out. I'll definitely be back to feel cool again.... Someday. read more

Sweet, sophisticated neighborhood spot. Tasty food and nicely selected beverages. Run by a couple who clearly love what they do.

Good cocktails, cute aesthetic but agree with the reviews about the pretentious vibe - which I suppose as a native portlander I'm not used to so it threw me and my friend off. In terms of covid we also didn't feel too safe, appeared there were community tables and small tables for 2 but it was a lot of people in one place. We kept being told to move while we were waiting around as well - which didn't lend itself well to the vibes. Ultimately our supposed 20 minute wait was nearing 45 minutes with no one checking up on us and we left after getting a cocktail and not securing a table which honestly ended up working out for us. read more

Truly my favorite bar, I've been coming here for a couple years and the owner Sarah always says hi. The food is delicious, the drinks are awesome, the ambiance is intimate and chill. My favorite thing is to come here and get a glass of wine and the slab bread with French butter and read my book. It's just the best!!! read more

Loved our vespers here! Had a great time late afternoon and could have stayed all night. The charcuterie was also tasty and high quality in taste and presentation (not just cheese from the grocery store). Good playlist. read more

Tl;dr: Vibes are good, drinks were tasty. Try the food carts in the patio area and you won't be disappointed. Like everyone else during quarantine last year, I downloaded Tiktok. Once I got through the weird dance videos and the whipped coffee videos I was able to narrow down my timeline to funny videos, recipe videos, and places to eat in Portland. The latter is how I found this place, and I knew that I would like to give this place a try... Someday. The weekend rolled by and I realized I didn't find a "pau hana" spot to relax and grab a few drinks at. That is when I pulled up my saved videos and made the decision to give them a try. We arrived just at 530 and there was already an hour wait. They put our name down and the approximate time to come back at then we went down the street to another backyard bar. We returned at 630/45ish and was seated immediately. The backyard patio vibe is chill. The ground is a little sandy/rocky/gravelly try not to kick dirt up. There are three food trucks in the back which makes it easy to get some food in but we will get to that later. We ordered two tiger porches which were tequila, tamarind, lime, and salt which reminded us a little more of a paloma than a margarita as described. The other drink I forgot but we then ordered three aperol spritzs which were a good refreshing way to end our time there. In between the drinks we ordered the [new!] lamb bites and new potatoes. The lamb bites were served with butter beans and labneh and was SO GOODDDD! The lamb was tender and easy to eat, while the labneh was a perfect companion. We wish we ordered a baguette. We were in a potato mood so we were very excited about the new potatoes but we were disappointed. The potatoes came out cold (not sure if that's how they are served) and was overall underwhelming. The flavor was fine but we were expecting something a little more. Since we were disappointed in the potatoes, we decided to order potatoes from Ruthies, one of the three foodcarts in this little area. The potatoes at Ruthies was PHENOMINALLLL. Skip the potatoes at Someday and go all out for what Ruthies has (sorry Someday). read more

Adorable back alley bar. The atmosphere feels like minimalist Parisian style meets the outdoors. There was plenty of outdoor seating (two sweaters, four seaters, and long group tables). It appeared to be such a popular spot that there was a line by the time we left. They have a great cocktail and food menu. One highlight is that there are three food trucks in the shared space, so it's sure to be a crowd pleaser. read more

Love everything about this place. The service is top notch. The drinks are to die for. And the food is fresh, simple and always divine. Seriously, wine selection is primo and their cocktails are creative, enticing and refreshing! It's got all the makings of a "too cool for school" spot where everyone feels cool without trying but everyone is welcome and everyone is actually cool and genuine. Jessica, Graham, Hayley and Anna and the other entire someday family is amazing, accommodating, welcoming and lovely. Check this place out. You won't regret it. read more
