    Blt with tots

    Fun bar on Glisan! Well priced food and a good selection of beers on tap. Will go back to try a cocktail. Friendly bartender too! Enjoyed sitting outside on the sidewalk tables in the sun.

    Some prescriptions, chicken bones and a cigarette butt
    Stefan T.

    The Pharmacy is place of healing. A place to cleanse one's soul. Get your prescriptions inside and enjoy next to the Benson Bubblers outside in good company. Everybody has different pains and problems. One finds himself here to get through them. Don't worry, your not alone - everybody is in this together. A magnetic place where all walks of life merge. Artists, German philosophers - - people of all backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses. All there and all in harmony. A place of sharing and caring. One story from a friend - a most horrific experience in his bedroom. I don't think a worse incident can happen to a guy. The horror. Oh, the horror. After he gets it out a weight lifts off his shoulders and the constant cleansing effect of the nearby Benson Bubblers takes away all the bad memories. The constant water flow for over 100 years is too powerful to merely be symbolic. Constant foot traffic on the sidewalk sweeps all negative feelings away and down the drain. Now that the weight is lifted lets be inspired. The most magnificent and anticipated piece of writing is in the works by an artist who frequents the place. Pulling inspiration from The Pharmacy and its colorful visitors - a piece 30 years in the making. Make friends with this local - he will open your eyes so that familiar things seem foreign. Up will be down. Left will be right. You get the picture. Maybe your feeling numb to life. They serve up the perfect thing for that too. Hot, hot, hot wings that could wake up the dead. Try the triple hot wings if you dare. I kid you not. There is a solution to every problem here. Test the strength of your mind with their placebos. I don't recommend it and I haven't tried them first hand but you could hone the Jedi in you. Just flip over the menu and order away. Life can throw you curve balls but they are no match for the concoctions and connections made here. A blessed place to be.

    Bar area - hot cider and the seasonal special

    All the drinks we tried were delicious, the seasonal ones were especially fun and well balanced. Food was good too, loved the decor and vibes. Bartenders were kind and fast.

    Wow. I LOVE their interior. The floating candles, stained glasses, and leather booth seatings made everything so cozy. Their all wood bar is also super cool. It's pretty laid back when we're there which was exactly what we're looking for. They got a few classics and novelty cocktails at a reasonable price of $12 - $13. We tried the A Little Pick Me Up, which is their take on an espresso martini-esque drink, and the Brair Patch. Both were very tasty but the Brair Patch was by far my favorite. The Marionberry Whiskey was so tasty! Overall, the drink was refreshing and delicious. We also tried some of their food. The Fried Chicken Sandwich was AMAZING! The chicken was very well-fried. Crispy and juicy. Gotta love the toasted pretzel bun as well. Would get the sauce on the side next time though. We had the sandwich with Onion Rings, which are not on their menu but you can still ask for it and you totally shoul. Again, very fresh and crispy. The slight sweetness of the onion was addicting. We got their Wings too with habanero sauce and they definitely got a kick! The blue cheese sauce and celery were necessary to help with the heat. Good wings though, nice and juicy again. All in all, one of my favorite bars I've been in awhile. Will definitely be back and checkout their HH.

    Gone guava, quite possibly the yummiest cocktail ever

    I came here by myself on a Friday night for a drink and some wings. This place was decorated delightfully. They had all kinds of cute Halloween themed decor, and besides that they had various gay themed art on the walls and some cool pinball machines in the back. The seating that was offered was extremely varied; booths, bar seating, bar style seating by a window facing the street (optimal people watching), large tables, small tables, patio seating outside, and it was all quite spacious. When I arrived it was not terribly busy, but business was steady and the crowd was decidedly straight. As the night went on the place began to fill, more queer couples and friend groups arrived, and I noticed that the music changed to reflect this. At first the music had been upbeat, but mostly instrumental background music; but as it got later it turned more to popular hits and dance music. The service was proactive, fast, friendly, and fabulous. Even the guy at the door checking IDs was great. He had a big jar of candy, was chatting amicably with customers and passerbys alike. He gave me some great information about the food service, and reccomendations for what wings to try. Both of the bartenders were friendly and helpful. The first bartender I spoke with answered my questions and gave me a great drink reccomendation, and the other one offered to let me try what was on tap before making my purchase. I felt so welcome, and valued as a customer. Even the guy running food and bussing tables looked like he was having a great time; he was practically skipping! The food itself was very good. I'm not completely convinced that the wings were brined for 24 hours based on the favor, but they were still super yummy! I got the honey stinger sauce, and it was the perfect blend of sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy with just the right amount of heat. The outside of the wings was crispy, and the inside was juicy. They were served piping hot, which is definitely the best way to eat them. The leftovers were ok, but I would definitely reccomend the dine-in option to enjoy the wings while they are freshest. The drink I had was phenomenal. Dual (I think that was her name?) reccomended the gone guava cocktail. It might be the best cocktail I've ever had. It was so yummy! After I ate and had my cocktail, I asked the other bartender about their taplist, she pointed out a cute chalkboard style menu that was complete with colorful hand drawn art, and offered to give me a taster of anything I wanted to try. The offerings were unique, varied, but primarily IPAs. I ended up getting beer with a heavily implied Chappel Roan theme. It was ok but nothing to write home about. The only point of feedback I have to offer this business is to bring back more of your house-made sauces. I was excited to try the teriyaki and peanut sauces I saw on a picture of an older menu, and was disappointed to find out that the only house-made sauce you still have is a scalding hot habañero sauce. I really like the Pharmacy. I'd love to come back with some friends to see what it looks like later in the night, or to experience their drag brunch. Overall, it definitely seems to me like a special place where boys and girls can all be queens every single day.

    The vibe at The Pharmacy Bar is a dive bar with a vintage pharmacy theme. I've driven by this several times and thought it was an actual pharmacy. The drink menu at The Pharmacy Bar features a wide variety of cocktails, beer, and wine. The Cherry Limeade (always a favorite!) and strawberry lemonade slushy are what we ended up ordering. The slushy was similar to a smoothie will real strawberries in it - yum! The grilled cheese burger is a fun idea, but it is a bit too much bread. 2 Texas toast grilled cheeses with a burger patty sandwiched between them. The whiskey bacon burger's sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend asking for the sauce on the side so that you can control the amount that you use if you want to go this route. The fries and tots were both delicious - hot and crispy. The service at The Pharmacy Bar is friendly and attentive. The staff is happy to answer questions about the menu or make recommendations. The Pharmacy Bar is a great option for a casual meal or drink in Northwest Portland. The food is good, the drinks are great, and the atmosphere is relaxed. I would definitely recommend it to others. I think The Pharmacy Bar would be a great place to host a Meetup. There is plenty of space, and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed.

    We stopped in with our fellow Yelpies to play Trivia. I started the night with a Blackberry Soda from the menu, turned out to be Wyld CBD tonic water. Big miss. I went back to the menu and ordered a passion ginger ale. It wasn't bad. The glasses used at the bar and small and non- alcoholic drinks are running $7 to $8. Drink wisely, water is free by the kitchen and bathroom. We tried the 1 pound of fries and chicken wings. That's a lot of fries. We killed them. The chicken was peanut butter and the other was barbecue. The peanut butter was weird but good, reminded me of a sandwich with chicken...? Maybe? The barbecue was as expected good. Overall the food passed. The trivia game was fun. It dragged a little here and there but overwhelmingly everyone had fun. The app was not as user friendly as it could have been. Hopefully the little bugs are worked out soon. We probably would do it again.

    INCREDIBLE COCKTAILS!! We got the bee's teats and the (something) martini. They also have loads of fun games to play and the patrons are happy to participate. Had a wonderful conversation with the bouncer. Only problem I have with this place is that I lost our game of Bananagrams!

The Bartender (I'm sorry for not getting his name- was wearing a cap with metal spikes on it) thank you for the drinks n food recommendations, they were on point!!!

    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.

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.

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
