Double Dutch Rum Punch and impossible sliders.
Marianne St. G.

Just want to add that there is a new rum punch drink and it tastes like a Caribbean cruise! If you enjoy tropical drinks, try this one! I think it was called Double Dutch rum punch

Vegan Kale Caesar Salad
Ingrid S.

Cute! Delicious vegan and meat food options! What's more to love? The bartenders were super nice. There's a tv at the bar if you want to watch some sports and otherwise this is a chill local spot. Plenty of seating. I will definitely come back here for the vegan Cesar salad. I eat dairy and this one is even better than the real dairy thing. My friend got to chicken wrap with fries and it came with some awesome dipping sauce. I love when a bar has healthy and indulgent food options, thank you Thunderbird for that!

House Fries Regular House sauce
Joya B.

The outside is deceiving. When you walk inside it's such a chill vibe and aesthetic. Clean and elevated styling for what seems like a whole in the wall. I went at a rather off time in the middle of the day after finishing classes. The menu is extremely vegan friendly more so than anything else, but everyone can enjoy something. The fries were perfectly cooked not greasy or stale tasting, the sauce they served it with was very good and creamy. The wrap was fresh and the chkn inside was delish, kale was fresh and crisp. The price was just right $12. I did not have any drinks but they had alcoholic slushies (duh) and they looked pretty appetizing. The bartender was friendly and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Smoke Stack
Brittany M.

So a group of 4 of us went to Thunderbird on a Saturday evening for dinner and drinks. The inside was low lighting, music playing, lots of seating. We sat outside where there were heaters on timers so it never got uncomfortably warm and didn't stay too cold for long. Now for my favorite part, the food! You order your food and drinks at the bar and a server will bring it to your table. I ordered the Brussels Bowl which had kale, rice, BBQ tofu, and brussel sprouts. It was a beautiful bowl full of great flavor. My husband ordered the TBird Vegan Philly made with impossible crumbles. It looked really good and he enjoyed it. We also ordered the Smash Impossible Sliders - grilled onions, thunder sauce and vegan cheddar. The non vegan items that were ordered: Smoke Stack Burger Foster Rd. Burger Onion Rings with Srirancha I recommend for anyone looking for a bar with meat and veggie options. Perfect place to bring friends or a date!

Chicken Cesar Wrap
Hannah W.

Always enjoy stopping here for drinks, but this was my first time eating. Chicken Caesar wrap, standard food item right, but damnnnn it was delicious! The dressing tasted homemade and the chicken was juicy and not overcooked. Will definitely eat here again.

Brussels Appetizer
Victoria L.

Neighborhood bar - absolutely one of my favorite! Great staff and tons of seating. Lively atmosphere every night. Their menu has vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and meat options!

city of roses
Ann N.

fun and cozy bar with a few activities to stay entertained. there's a ton of seating including indoor and outdoor. drinks are fairly priced. i got the city of roses which tasted good except i did not taste the rose flavor at all

Kodi T.

Their food is so good and the prices are really reasonable. They have so many vegan options and a few that are not vegan. Their sauces are handmade and delicious! Whenever I'm in their the staff that drop your food off are so nice and always ask if you need anything else. They have a beautiful space with lots of plants and the option for outdoor seating. Although parking in the neighborhood is a little tough, it's worth the short walk for the great food and overall vibe!

Fopo Bowl (vegan): Super tasty and fresh!
Jason C.

I've been here a few times and love this place! I'm familiar with their bar group and always know I'll have tasty food and solid drink options especially for a good dry cider. The space is roaming with a broad range of seating options. Don't be intimidated by parking, there's lots of parking behind it!

You ever have one of those days when somebody comes up to you and plops a big ole tit of a chicken…read morein front of you and you just tear into the thing and realize you'll never eat anything else in your life? That is, until you turn your attention to the wedge of a jojo next to that beautiful wet-tshirt-contest winner. And by wedge, I mean you could park a god damned RV on the bank-iest bank of the Willamette, put one of these under a rear wheel, throw the RV in neutral, and open a trampoline park inside. If you canceled the lease on Playdate PDX and are reading this, don't steal my idea, you prick. Anyway, I digress. Potato jojo wedge. Back to it. I brought home some as leftovers three months ago and my eight year old is still tunneling through them like she's a mole dropped into some f-ed version of Candy Land. Look, I know the fine bartenders here promise chicken and jojos the same way cable promises service: it'll arrive somewhere between the hours of 6 and 10:00 PM. But sit your ass in the chair, get a PBR and wait. Because, much like the bygone era of cable, when the boob shows up uncensored, late at night, and wrapped seductively in paper and BBQ sauce (don't judge me! You tuned in too!), you weren't thinking of the guy with the extra long butt crack and ill fitting button up. Oh no, my friend, you were thinking about the sauce. BBQ, ranch, sweet chili, . . . or ketchup (you immature shit).

This is another "Old Portland" establishment that still holds up. Even on a Sunday night, the…read moreplace was busy and also it was an MLK holiday. My friends were at the bar and I managed to get a seat next to them. I was smart to ask my friend to place a food order since they are known for hot fried food to take their time. I ordered a drink and caught up with my friends. There were complimentary treats which I gladly enjoyed. Once my food arrived, I enjoyed the jo jo's with buffalo dipping sauce as my go to. The fried chicken hits the spot and the staff is very friendly. It was great seeing 2 people working instead of just 1 person doing everything. My order was affordable too once I closed my tab. Old Portland for the win once again and will continue to support, cheers!

Absolute hands-down favorite bar in Portland! Scotch Lodge…read moreis a must-visit every single time we are in Portland! The food, the cocktails, and the hospitality are consistently incredible. You cannot miss the oysters here--the granitas they pair with them are an absolute work of art. For the first time, we tried the beef tartare, and they hand-chop the meat right on the spot. The funky richness of the cheese on top was perfectly balanced, and wrapping it in gem lettuce made it such a unique and delicious treat. As for the drinks, every single cocktail we ordered was outstanding. I'm not a big fan of overly sweet drinks, so the 'Mojo Jojo Casa House' at the end was absolutely perfect for my palate. I also loved the 'Brand New Key,' which was packed with fresh tarragon flavor. My husband prefers smoky whiskeys and mezcals, so he ordered along those lines--not exactly my personal style, but he loved them! The ambiance and overall vibe here are unmatched. Just a heads-up: this place gets packed quickly, so making a reservation is a complete must. Highly, highly recommend!

Scotch Lodge was a delight. Incredibly well designed space with friendly service that helped a…read morenovice scotch/whiskey drinker find something they loved. Good music, good vibes, and what looked like a killer food offering.
