    Amazing atmosphere, the bartenders were great! We had two cocktails and a thing of fries, a little spendy but it was worth the price in my opinion. Very excited to go back again!

    Chicken Sandwich TO-GO and Cheeseburger TO-GO

    Walked by one day and saw it was packed and a sign about $3 burgers. We came back the next day and I guess those prices are only on Tuesdays. We ordered a cheeseburger and a bacon chicken sandwich. The food was good, kinda small but what can you expect for the prices. Inside was nicely decorated and plenty of seating outside although the smell of cigarette smoke was overpowering even though we did not see anyone actively smoking.

    I recently checked out the infamous "pre inflation tuesday" at Sugarhill and was not disappointed! Keep in mind - it gets BUSY! but in my opinion it was still a great experience. Even with a long line and tons of people, the service from the bar was friendly, personable, and efficient. We were told it may take up to an hour for our food, which we didn't mind because we wanted to lounge and drink anyways first. Finding seating at a time so busy was a challenge, but we eventually got a spot in their covered outdoor patio section. The ambiance of the place is cute and it was much bigger than i was expecting! The deal is hard to beat. I was expecting the cheeseburger to be tiny for only being $3, but it was a good size and delicious! $3 fries, $3 cheeseburgers and $3 miller was just what we needed. We will return for this deal and also on other days to get their house cocktails!

    I haven't been to sugarhill in awhile, but I really enjoy the happy hour menu and the pre-inflation Tuesday. I'd recommend checking out sugar hill on a Tuesday where the cost of food and drinks are AFFORDABLE! The server was attentive because I'm used to ordering at the bar but the server came and asked multiple times about whether we needed more drinks or food! My friend ordered the chicken nuggets but they were a bit overcooked. I usually like the impossible cheeseburger and fries! The spritz was delicious.

    Really cool atmosphere with a dark, moody ambiance. Some of the drinks/food items were pricey, and service was a little, but the space itself is worth checking out. The back room has couches, a TV, and a photo booth, plus there's an outdoor area for when you want fresh air. Great for hanging out and socializing. A DJ showed up while we were there and started spinnin music. Great songs/mixes and good vibes.

    My friend wanted to take me out to the bar with a group of friends while I was visiting town, and we ended up going to see Sugar Hill. We ended up coming in during I think what was called "Motown Monday", so you do have a DJ playing that kind of music. We did come late though, so the place did start to slow down. We were all impressed by how beautifully decorated the space was, and the lighting set the perfect mood. We all got different drinks, I know my friend ordered the Mystery Machine which he liked, while I got a pretty good Paloma. I'm definitely curious to see how this place is like on a busier hour, but I would definitely come back here again for both the drinks and vibes.

    Sugarhill is one of the cuter bars I have seen! It's 70s theme is more like a hint of coziness and trendiness hitting what most people think of the 70s. There's a backroom that is reminiscent of someone's grandmother's place. We came in on a Monday right when they opened and it was fabulous. Not too busy and easy to get drinks. We got the espresso martini and the pornstar martini. The espresso Martini had Sugarhill printed on top. It was a cute touch. The Pornstar Martini was pretty good for a Pornstar Martini. Not too tart nor sweet. Loved it! One gripe is that the photo booth was a bit too bright and also did not print physical strips! Otherwise, very nice bar!

    Fun spot on Belmont! Sugarhill is definitely somewhere you go for the vibes primarily - it's got fun 1970s style decor. The food is alright, the kind of stuff you could microwave. The drinks are fairly classic with a twist (eg, agua fresca margarita, spicy tamarind lemon drop, strawberry rhubarb mule, pineapple mojito). They've got a happy hour 5-7pm and they do "pre-inflation Tuesday" which is when I've been. It's hard to beat the prices. I may be the oldest person in the bar in my mid 30s - but coming here will keep you young.

    Came to Sugarhill for their pre inflation happy hour and was pleasantly surprised Enjoyed some great drinks and oysters all at a solid value. The place has cool unexpected vibes a mix of laid back and stylish that makes it feel like a hidden gem. Plus the staff was very helpful and accommodating definitely a spot I'll be coming back to for both the atmosphere and the deals.

    Sugarhill is a cute spot! I went for pre dinner drinks at around 5p on a Saturday so it wasn't super busy and I was happy the music was not super loud. I assume it's pretty different later at night. It was happy hour and we were not sure what the menu meant by "draft cocktails" but it turns out most of their cocktails are on draft! It's cool because then it takes no time to get them made! My husband had the Airport 77 and is obsessed with it. I tried the strawberry rhubarb mule, which was very sweet and good. It wasn't super ginger-y. The "patio" also looks nice! It's in an alley and is heated.

    Booth view, yes a little privacy please. Super cool vibe.

    I love a secret door, that's all I'm going to say about that. Great bar, the booths are so comfy and semi-private. Great service and there's always good finger foods at Portland bars (cuz they gotta serve food if there's booze)! There's an outdoor patio, Photo Booth, 70s room. It's just so chill!

    One of my favorite places in all of Portland!! I have no idea how this doesn't have more reviews. The food is great. Prices are amazing. The deals insane. And the atmosphere is unbeatable. Taking everyone here!

    What are their hours?

    I would call to confirm since many establishments are changing their hours due to shortage of employees

    Is there air conditioning?

    Yes... But they also have outdoor seating which of course isn't

The cheese and crack sundae has toasted marshmallow, chocolate, and cinnamon cracker crumbs. Omg the cinnamon crumbs are so good, that with the ice cream was really yummy (I'm a simple girl what can I say). The chocolate hardened into a chocolate shell and it was kind of only on the bottom of the cup so that was a little disappointing. The toasted marshmallow didn't add much, but maybe I'm biased bc I don't rlly care for toasted marshmallow ‍ Overall, the entire sundae is mainly a ton of vanilla ice cream. It's a big portion that I shared with someone else. Second time I went, I got the banana pudding sundae which was soooo good. I shared this with my friend and it was plenty. They give a good amount of banana pudding and you can tell it's quality. I saw bananas, the bread/wafer part, and it pairs nicely with the ice cream. Prob my favorite thing from this place. My other friend got the pbo which was also good. They layer oreo and peanut butter pudding so you get it all throughout the sundae which is nice. She also got an everything cookie which has literally everything in it. It was texturally interesting and not too sweet! Overall, good flavors and quality ice cream. The portions are a bit big and I wish they had half or even quarter sizes since these came in huge cups. At a certain point, the vanilla ice cream becomes flavorless bc there's so much of it but the sundaes were still pretty good!

For two people we paid $150 with tip, and that was without desserts and coffee. Things of note from a Friday night summer visit to this place that's been there four years now: High-end presentation. The plating is top level and each thing they place in front of you is like a sculpture or work of art. Nice energy, not at all too loud. They have acoustic tiles on the ceiling and on the concrete floor added a runner that echos the curve of the large bar, which helps. Portion size looked nice and generous from examples of things we saw being brought to tables, such as the salad and focaccia. Best appetizers were fried cauliflower and the asparagus dish w/ the eggs (which would be even better if warm). The one fish entree is the sablefish (ours was underseasoned) that's brought out on thin piece of cedar with edges still slightly charred. It comes with nothing else on the plate so plan accordingly. Just inside the door they have a little snack/pantry curated market of sorts, where you can linger while waiting for seating and can buy things like a cute little bottle of honey for $20 or a colorful crocheted wall hanging basket for $70. Lots of good natural light because of the walls of floor to ceiling windows. Option of ample seating indoors and outdoors because it's a corner location. Cautionary note: We saw and heard a lunatic in hoodie who, at 6pm on a Friday night, walked up to one of the unoccupied outdoor tables and flipped it over, causing the plates and glasses to fly in the air and shattered, landing in shards next to the elderly couple at the next table who jumped up, her understandably in shock and tears. Staff did nice job moving them inside to a twotop, cleaning up the mess, and removing all the seating on that side of the building for the night.

I have visited this spot many times over the years and the Basilisk food quality and service remains consistently good over nearly a decade of patronage.

Service is always great at Basilisk and the fried chicken is the kind you think about days later.

    Basilisk is another of those Portland restaurants I regularly visited on work trips to the city in…read morethe 2010s. It's been around 7 or 8 years since my last visit but I remember the fried chicken sandwiches coming with two thick, juicy, fried boneless thighs. I found it difficult to eat more than half a sandwich given the size and excess meat. Usually I would end up pulling one thigh out and saving it for later! I decided to visit again on a recent weekend trip to Portland, arriving for an early dinner at around 4:30 PM. It was surprisingly busy, with at least a quarter of the seats taken in the shared seating pool even though it was so early in the day. Luckily there wasn't a line to order and the food came out within 15 minutes. Fried Chicken Sandwich ($13) - Just as how I remembered, this sandwich is still huge with two breaded and fried thighs on a bed of lightly dressed, crunchy cole slaw. It's really tall and doesn't compress well due to the abundant crunchy elements throughout. There's the bun that's heavily toasted until extremely, almost aggressively, crisp and almost dark golden brown, absolutely doused in butter a la Texas toast. There are house pickles on the bottom bun, very quickly pickled such that it develops no acidity, but changes to that crunchy yet soggy pickle texture. The two chicken thighs are expertly breaded until full of crags and valleys, seasoned well, and fried until crisp. The crispy quality is of a lighter variety rather than a hard crunch, very delicate as compared to a typical flour based fried chicken dredge. The chicken is different from what I remembered. Instead of being juicy full thighs, almost an inch thick at the meatiest, these patties are thin, sad, like a single thigh butterflied and cut into fourths width-wise. The breading is far thicker than the chicken itself - in fact the chicken almost is an afterthought here, completely getting lost in all the breading and everything else in the sandwich. Seriously, look at some of the photos from other Yelpers taken in 2016 and 2017 and compare to my cross section photo. It's a huge difference. I bet it's a cost cutting measure and it certainly isn't an appreciated change. Maybe it's just a sign of the times - while the 2010s air waves thumped with 'All About That Bass," the thick thighs have now unfortunately been 2020s Ozempic zapped. The major downside of the sandwich is surprisingly the bun. It's by far the most dominant component of the sandwich. It's the crunchiest element and the butter flavor completely overwhelms the taste buds. This is why fried chicken sandwiches are usually served on soft and pillowy buns, or at least buns that are only lightly toasted, so the bread can focus on and cradle the crunch element rather than supersede it. This is the first time that I can recall a sandwich where the bun is the dominant entity. (3/5) Dandan Fries ($10) - These fries are deceptively filling. They're really snackable and give a distinct moreish quality. It's like a snack where I absentmindedly keep reaching in the bag for more and suddenly it's completely empty. The fries combine a somewhat lightly fried potato, a delicate crisp on the outside and an extremely fluffy almost fall-apart tender inside, with a nutty, spicy, and mouth tingly mala sauce. The sauce is thick, rich, filled with fatty goodness. It's actually a really good glue, adhering the crushed peanuts on the fries so well, nothing falls off while lifting the fries out of the bowl. I especially love the mini cornichons mixed into the fries. They add just a bit of sweetness and acidity that balances so well with the fatty dandan inspired sauce. Without them, I think the dish would feel far too rich. With them, the fries go down the gullet at a quick rate. (5/5) I can't help but feel a little disappointed at Basilisk. It's another one of those places that seems to have decided to sacrifice quality in order to keep prices relatively low. While I enjoyed the Dandan Fries, I'm not sure that's enough of a draw to get me to revisit. Bathrooms - Four unisex rooms shared with the other establishments in the building.

We were seated right away, wherever we wanted. I picked a shady indoor spot booth. I'm not sure, if it's the right booth, I then realized, they have the swings, by the window facing Burnside. I wanted to move, but hubby won't! No matter how much I begged, he ain't movin'. Then, I said: 'the music here is too loud.' His answer? 'There's always something!' So I stayed. I checked out the Patio. It might work, for the group. At least, there's one of us, who love alcohol. That may give them a reason to come. (She's driving the rest of the group). Since we are heading to an event, not far from here, we didn't have much time to take leftovers home, we didn't have a cooler, it's almost 80 degrees out, so we decided to eat something we could share. We picked the BBQ COHO Salmon Sandwich. Seared Coho salmon glazed with Bourbon BBQ sauce topped with baby Aragula and pickled red onions on a Portland French toasted potato bun. There's a $2 discount recess during happy hour (3-5pm). We were there at that time. (Is that the reason WHY the music were soo loud?) It was served with hand-cut fries. Both were just the perfect taste (delicious), and size for both of us. But, for some reason, I was still tempted to have something else. We looked at the desert menu, and decided on the Peach Crumble. Food taste so much better, when shared! Enough said. (We waited so long for this one, that we almost didn't made it to our event! We were enjoying our time here, that by the time we got to our car, we were rushing, and made it two minutes later we would have been late!) Negative: Music is too loud! Restroom could be improved.

It was a great place to slow down, enjoy good food, and spend time together. The smoked brisket hash was the standout. It came with tender brisket, eggs, breakfast potatoes, peppers, onions, and vegetables. The flavors worked really well together. It was hearty, flavorful, and had something different in almost every bite. We also tried the burger and fries. They were simple, solid, and satisfying. The fries had a nice crisp, and the burger was a good choice for a classic brunch or lunch option. I also really appreciated the non-alcoholic drink selection. A lot of places treat zero-proof drinks like an afterthought, but here they actually had fun options. The Phony Espresso Negroni was a great non-alcoholic cocktail and made the meal feel special without needing alcohol. Overall, this was a very enjoyable brunch with good food, friendly service, a relaxed patio, and enough variety on the menu that I would happily come back again.
