    The food was delicious and very flavorful. The service was on point even with being extremely busy.

    wings took about 30 minutes to make but they were the best thing we had here so i dont really mind hehe. the pizza crust was notably good and flavorful and the rest of the pizza itself was alright- it needed more salami tbh. we also got a caesar salad but did not like the leaf choice. the kale stems were too much and the dressing was meh outdoor seating was great, just a bit buggy. service was on the slower side but there was only server for the entire outdoor area sooo... i saw lots of other ppl get foccia bread and it looked reall good....

    This was such a cute find. We got the seasonal pizza and it was so good- also it's really hard to find good ranch in Portland? And this place has the BEST ranch. Service was also great.

    We had a great experience at The Pocket Pub. We came on a Monday night around 7pm. There were seating at the bar but because we had minors, we couldn't sit there. Outdoor seating with heat lamps are available but it's Portland in the winter so we waited about 15 minutes for an indoor table. It's not bad at all but the restaurant is small so I can imagine a wait on a Friday night or weekends. The servers were friendly and helpful. The food was great! I'm not normally even a pizza person but being from out of state, Portland is known for their pizza and I can see why. The pizza here is amazing! They also have a large selection of cocktails, mocktails, and craft beers. Street parking was easy in the neighborhood. After our meal, our server gave us gummy pizzas to give to the kids as a treat if we choose. I really appreciate these small thoughtful things a business considers for their guests. We hope to come back the next time we're in town!

    It's the kind of spot you want someone to recommend when you're out of depth in a new city. It's the kind of spot you wish would open up in your own neighborhood. Cozy, welcoming, why not grab a spot at the bar? With kind, beaming service, and inviting aromas reaching out to the patio, there aren't enough superlatives. The jalapeño poppers (as has been mentioned) are outstanding, and worth a trip on their own, but don't miss out on the pizza. It may be tempting with a stacked salads and apps menu, all packed with local and seasonal choices, but seriously: order a pizza. The crust is a gold star among crusts, strong enough to hold a generous spread of toppings, but still snapping and cracking throughout the (I already said cozy) intimate dining room. I'm here for just a few days on this trip, and I'd hoped to try a wide variety of locations, but I'm stuck, you see. I didn't try the wings. I didn't try the panna cotta. The other places will understand; I'll try to swing by them next time I'm around.

    Pizza and a beer..what could be better?!?!

    Loved the food, the drinks and the staff! Would love to put this bar in my Pocket and carry it around with me wherever I go!! 100% will return! Highly recommend!

    Quaint little spot that has little more than salads and pizza and adult beverages for anyone's taste. We ordered the prosciutto pizza which has a garlic sauce on it with goat cheese and a honey drizzle. The service is quick and extremely good.

    Mushroom pizza & pepperoni pizza

    The food was delicious, the service was fabulous, & the ambiance was truly so warm and welcoming, we were visiting my mother in law in her new home nearby and stopped in for a dinner and the playlist and soft lighting and lil teacup candles brought to the table was all immaculate!

    What night is the fresh pasta night?

    Always Thursday but Chef Nate will often do lasagna over the weekend and sneak in some dishes other days. Best to check the website around 4:30, it will be listed. See you next time!

    Is happy hour still 4-6? Everyday?

    I’m sorry, but we do not. It stopped in 2020 and we haven’t brought it back.

The…read moreatmosphere is just dialed in, warm lighting, comfortable seating, and that lived-in feel of a spot that actually has a soul. It is genuinely cozy in a way that's hard to fake The reading rooms are such a great touch. Having tucked away spaces lined with books to actually sit and read, talk, or hang out in is so rare in a bar setting. It makes it feel more like a community space than just another tap house. At the same time, it works really well for large groups, we've rolled in deep before and never had an issue finding room to spread out. The beer selection is excellent. Thoughtful and rotating enough to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. Whether you want something hoppy, something dark, or something easy drinking, they've got you. And the left wing vibe is the cherry on top. It's refreshing to spend time in a space that wears its politics on its sleeve, pro-labor, pro-community, unapologetically itself. It feels like a place built for the people who actually live in the neighborhood.

    Take a beautiful original Portland house and turn it into a hang out space with awesome beverages…read moreon tap or brewed with a food cart out back for when you and your friends get peckish. Outstanding! This space suits so many purposes: studying, catching up over a drink, planning/researching, etc. There's even a conference room with seating for 11 that you can reserve. You can play board games here if no one's home is big enough for your group (their website says they no longer book the conference room for board games, but you can game there if it's not reserved). There's a few games in the upstairs green room closet. On a Sunday afternoon, there were plenty of spots open, but it is not dead either. Theres a variety of seating to suit all body types and preferences. First floor is wheelchair accessible. The upstairs bathroom has ducks on the ceiling so that's worth a visit alone. The blueberry rooibos iced tea is delicious and you add your own sweetener at the drink station. It literally feels like hanging out at a friend's house. Worth popping in if you haven't been. You can check the current drink selection on their website. You order in the entryway and then carry your items to your seat. Bus your dishes back to the entryway when you leave.

My gf had never been though we lived near for years. We got the onion rings to start and have never had rings like this. Their dipping sauce was super tasty. They were huge and almost a meal. The crunch on the was fantastic and the onions cut as you bit into them, not one pulled out. We split the chicken and waffles. Chicken just perfect and crunchy and the crunch is seasoned as well. One of those meals you shake ur head the whole time hoping the flavors won't stop. The portion was big and glad we split it. The waffle was crunchy and big. The cup of stew was very tasty as well.

    Eeehh, okay the coffee was good…read more The chicken and waffles was......mid? The chicken was a tad dry. This is kinda nitpicky, but I also thought it was bit too much breading. Normally, I don't mind some more breading, but I also felt it was a tad too hard and salty. The texture of the waffle was also......hmmm, not terrible, but definitely not the sort of crispiness I want. More chewy than crispiness even when I first got it. My mom had special requests as usual, and this waitress was very nice as well, but the joint was not as accommodating as some others have been. They did have egg whites, but when she asked for more vegetables, the waitresses implied that the only vegetable they could provide was zucchini, and it could not be changed because......that's what the chef decided? After she got her entree (egg whites, cheese and zucchini?), my mom complained that her scramble was tiny, but got way too much toast. Looking at her plate, I feel like she had a point this time. I don't think this place is bad, but I've had a lot of good chicken and waffles in my time, and this falls slightly short imho.
