This might be my fave Whiskey Bar in PDX. Great selection of Whiskeys, at a fair price, and a very knowledgable staff. Cocktails are awesome. They usually have a great Single Barrel available that they hand select. Latest was a tasty Old Forester. Good stuff. Food and atmosphere are great with a nice covered and heated patio to hang in. This place is legit.

ELK BURGER° 16
 Durham Ranch Elk, Smoked Gouda, Bacon & Date Jam, Roasted Garlic & Herb Mayo, Mixed Greens, served on a Grand Central Bakery

We had a perfect first time experience there recently. There is no table service - so we sat at the bar to be served. Bartender was charming, attentive and helpful. We shared the ELK BURGER - moist, flavorful, delicious, unique. It came with SALT & PEPPER BEER-BATTERED FRENCH FRIES - crispy, salty nomnom. Hubby had the HAND-POPPED POPCORN and loved it. I had the SEASONAL SOUP = tasted like home. We also sampled our way down the cocktail menu and were not disappointed. Will be back!

I'm happy I got to come back here to review it. One of the best neighborhood bars in NE Portland great food great drinks. Did I mention they have a whiskey club over 50 whiskeys to try. The food came out fast and it was delicious gotta try the fried chicken sandwich and the fries are addicting as is. Good patio especially when the sun is out. Will definitely be back

Curry and yeast popcorn
Sadie H.

Honestly one of my tried and true spots. Always consistently good food, service and can't beat the location. They have done SO much to make their space safe. Distanced, masks, tons of patio space, and even signs that tell you if a table is dirty or clean. The banh mi is on a perfect roll, it's spicy but not too bad and the chicken is well seasoned. I cannot resist fries here bc they're beer battered and so crispy! The popcorn is our go to. Even if just going for drinks you've gotta get a bowl for the table! Highly recommend this spot! Fun place to bring friends, fam or a date!

Portland always wants to overdo fucking everything…read more Want a sandwich? Have this spent-grain roll, locally sourced cheese, farm raised ham, and lettuce, tomato, and onion that we grew on the roof topped with hand-pressed olive oil and spent-Pinot Noir vinegar. That'll be $25. Want to play some pinball? Pay this $3 cover and bring a bunch of quarters, load up a card that only works here, or pay a one-time fee of $23 to play as much as you want. Want to eat on a patio? Go to one of these tables we've wedged behind a dive bar or go into the lobby of this residential building/music venue, find the elevator and hope you counted the floors to that roof deck just right. I love Sit Tite because it's just fucking easy. It's open all week, it keeps the pinball up front and just takes quarters and bills, it gives me chicken parm when I want it, it has a good coffee cocktail when I have the money for it and $3 Rainier when I don't, and it basically has a giant dining room out back. Sit-Tite's menu could've warranted a full dining room, wait staff... the whole nine. But I'm glad there's one fucking place in this town where I can just put an order in, play some pinball, have above-bar-quality food waiting for me when I get back, and just enjoy a night outside. Yes, there are nights when the chicken parm's too much of a mess and I swing over to the hot Italian or fried mozzarella, but Sit Tite never tries to make my life worse by doing things "better."

Ambiance is very good! Indoor, bar area, pool table and an awesome huge back patio area that is…read morevery nice. Drinks: just ok. Food/ menu: needs a lot of help. There is smoking on site.
