    This place is so cute! I loved the tacos and they have amazing margs! Highly recommend the pork belly taco! Service was quick and great view of portland!

    Chips, Queso, Guac (one bite out), and Salsa

    Five stars for the rooftop views! If you want a cocktail on a rooftop, you found it. While we got a table pretty quick, the server took a long time to greet us and get us water, at least we had a view! Cocktails are okay, but nothing special. Chips are delicious, but the amount of salsa and guacamole you get is insulting. You will be out well before your chips finish. We got the queso, too, which is almost worth it. $8 and $14 respectively. Tacos were okay, but light on filling for price. $7/$8. Beef Ribeye was the best one. Too hungry and forgot to take pics, lol. Prices are moderate to high - you pay for a the cost of the view!

    Wow... just wow. This was an awesome dining experience. The biggest challenge is finding a good parking spot. Once inside the hotel you hit a peaceful calm. We had a reservation for opening time so we jumped in the elevator. Oddly enough, it wouldn't go up to the top floor until opening time. So the 8 people that piled in all sat there looking at each other for a few minutes... We got a sunny table inside with a great view of the city. The service here is fantastic. Very attentive! We go our drink order in first and the cocktails were fantastic! I tried the Tope margarita and it was refreshing and had a nice kick! We ordered apps and tacos. The food comes out when it is ready, so plan accordingly. The queso was a great choice. It is smooth and the cheese blend is full of flavor. All the tacos were good, but my favorite was the chicharron. It was like biting into happiness. Everything about Tope was amazing. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu out! Great views, great service, great food!

    The rooftop view is incredible! If you are looking for a great place for Margaritas and Tacos, this is the spot. I really enjoyed their chips and assortment of Dips. I got all 3, cause why not? Definitely coming back for a frozen margarita and great views

    Went in a little skeptical because of the current rating but I had a really good time! Space is immaculate. Tons of seatings with a huge fireplace, very romantic and perfect for a date night. Got to try their Chicken Tinga Tacos and they're delicious! Spicy and tender. Also they packed the tacos full of it. The sauces and toppings went really well together too. Wish you could pick different kind of tacos rather than get three of the same thing though Their Esquite Salad was super unique, using popcorn instead of real corn which added a lot of crunch to the salad. The delicata squash and brussel sprouts were also good in it. Service was also swift on a weeknight. Overall, had a really good meal in a super nice space so can't really complain. Would definitely be for some more and checkout their patio in the Summer.

    If you're reading this in January 2026, Tope no longer has its happy hour menu. However, there wasn't a discrepancy between the regular or happy hour menu from what I've seen between the prices on IG and its current menu. I've been here twice now. It's a cute location in Northwest Portland near Chinatown. There is a nice rooftop bar and a fireplace inside of the restaurant with great views of the city. Go during sunset! We started off with the chips and guac. The vegano tacos were solid. I wish the salsa was spicier, but overall I enjoyed my three tacos. I ordered the mal humorado! It was refreshing.

    A plate of tacos. The order was one taco short, and everybody at the table was served on the same plate.

    How disappointing. We had friends come in from out of town and they wanted to try the restaurant in the hotel that they were staying in. The Hoxton. We went upstairs and we're seated. The place was exceptionally loud that we couldn't carry on a conversation. The hostess brought us a bottle of water that only filled three of the four glasses. The waitress took forever to come take our order. We each ordered two tacos. Not only did it take between 45 minutes and an hour to get our food. The only people at our table they were asked if they needed anything else to drink. Where are the people that ordered alcohol. My wife and I had Diet Coke and the waitress ignored us completely. I had to flake her down and ask her if she could refill it and I got a snooty look in a 15 minute wait. Once the tacos arrived at the table, the King on one plate. Everybody's order was on one plate. We had to ask, which were which. The worst thing is it was one taco short. We had to ask the waitress to go get another one. The tacos themselves were very small for the cost. The food on each one was not much. But we didn't have any choice in the matter if we wanted to eat because tacos are about the only thing on the menu. I have no reason to ever come back here again as it was loud, the service was poor, and the food wasn't that great.

    As a foodie, wine and spirits connoisseur living in Portland for about 20 years, "shout out" the Tope rooftop bar in the contemporary and modern looking Hoxton hotel. The rooftop bar is a gem! Nine stories high with stellar city wide views as you sip your favorite beverage with some friends or a lover - hard to beat the refreshment and the refreshing feeling you'll get buzzing nine stories sky high while sun is slowly setting the mood is rising. Tope is the place to be? View, booze, food, and a good time! Open bar with a fire pit, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - anywhere you sit has a view! I bellyed up to the bar to check it out. Tacos are the specialty. Solid beer, wine and spirits. Another gem - Shelby, bartender, greeted me with a smile, friendly chitchat - as well - covered whats on tap, in the bottles on the shelves. I needed to know. Shelby dialed in exactly what satisfied my taste buds!

    4/5: Rooftop view, ceviche win, but still no toilet seat covers. Our unplanned visit to Tope on 7/23/2025 was a pleasant surprise after wandering around downtown. Located inside The Hoxton Hotel on the corner of 4th and Burnside, right next to the Dragon Gate entrance to Old Town, this was the only place open at 4 PM, and it worked out well for us. Our party of three was seated on the rooftop patio, where we caught a clear view of Mt. Hood in the distance and the Broadway Bridge to our left. About one-third of the rooftop had shade from the building between 4-6 PM. The space also has plenty of indoor lounge seating, and only the rooftop and part of the indoor dining have those views. We ordered the only two mocktails on the menu at $9 each and found them well balanced and enjoyable. Our friend got the La Bodega ($18), but we forgot to follow up on her opinion. I ordered the Rockfish Ceviche ($21), which was generously lime-marinated, to the point that I didn't need the extra lime wedges I asked for. That almost never happens. I'd gladly get it again. A new line on our receipt caught our attention: "3 Kitchen Appreciation, $1.50." We asked our server, who explained it is automatically added to support kitchen staff when food is ordered. We didn't confirm whether it's per person or per dish, but the charge was $1.50 total for the three of us. Restroom note: Located at the rooftop lounge level are three gender-neutral, single-stall restrooms. Functional, yes, but no toilet seat covers, which loses them a star. The hotel itself has a well-air-conditioned lobby and plenty of relaxed seating at street level if you're waiting for a table or need a cool down before heading up. The rooftop patio was filling quickly while we were there. Views, casual vibes, and thoughtful service made this visit worthwhile. We'll likely be back for ceviche and rooftop when we're in the area again.

    We came here last week for a drink as it was one of the last nice days left in the year. We had a nice outside view and also had a table to chill inside. I did enjoy their queso dip, a great snacking food.

    Everything was just OK. Five-six taco selections with no real standout. $15 non-alcoholic drinks are a little over the top for a 3oz pour.

    Interesting place which feels like it straddles a line between a club and a restaurant. High Horse…read morewas our third or fourth stop in search of a late nite and saved us. There is a dining area just off the bar with some table seating; larger 4- and 6-top tables are closer to the right side of the bar as you enter. To the left, 2-tops transition to more open lounge seating. We shared delightful dishes from the late-night menu: the Brussels sprouts, the chicken tenders and the smash burger. I recommend all of them if those kinds of snacks are to your taste. I enjoyed a couple of good, ice - cold martinis. My beloved told our server that she couldn't find anything that quite called out to her from the sophisticated mocktails menu and asked if something sweet and cherry-flavored could be made for her. The bar delivered with an impressively balanced drink garnished with a cured cherry. "Because," as our server told us, "everyone deserves a swizzle stick." The food, drinks and service all were wonderful. For a restaurant, the thumping house music was a little oppressive. That was the club aspect of this place's identity. Still a great place to get a late night in downtown Portland.

On entering for lunch, the customer journey is unknown. We should not be an explorer without a map! In front of the stairs is a stand one would logically consult on seating. You would usually have a sign, which today should span languages, on seating. "Seat yourself" or see front-ofhouse person. But no, the stand in front of the stairs is not the front-ofhouse person. They are dedicated to providing utensils and napkins. How does a new arrival even know where the front-of-house person is? Restaurant 101. The front-of-house is behind the bar and not very attentive to new arrivers. New arrivers are your customers! That person is also the final bill person. By observation they seemed idle much of the time. Next, the upholstery of my seat was stained. Either clean it to invisibility or replace it. Any restaurant should check the condition of tables and chairs daily. At this level of restaurant, it is basic. We are not a dive. I was there for their loss leader crab sandwich special but ordered more, so I was not a loss leader customer. Bring a real napkin because a dish with small pieces will have small pieces fall out. The server from the kitchen brought small paper cocktail napkins. Instead I had to get a napkin and fork from the utensils and napkins cart myself. I guess, oddly, becoming familiar with where napkins were, thinking they were front-of-house, was useful in disguise! No refilling water. The dishes seem to be served by kitchen staffers. There was no checking on customer experience mid-meal or on billing. "Is/was everything OK?" Wow! I would have told them what I am writing. The menu was pretty standard today in items and price. I would say my sandwich was unnecessarily salted. I'm in favor of flavored by ingredients. I would say this is a fine hotel bar among many choices downtown. It is on the second floor, aside from the stains, pleasant, and there are public spaces in this hotel for meetups and meetings. But it needs a review of customer experience design, who does what, and the customer journey, stat. If Marriott is doing this nationally, they are failing. Good design is not expensive, it can operate at any price point. Maybe robots will improve things? None of the staffers should be blamed, it is design and management which are lacking.

    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.

There are a few dining tables inside if you're planning to have a meal as well.The bartender was incredibly friendly and took the time to chat with me after I asked for a few recommendations. The drinks were excellent, well-balanced, flavorful, and actually tasted like proper cocktails instead of just juice. They definitely didn't skimp on the alcohol either! I'm really glad I chose this place to celebrate. It ended up being the perfect spot for the occasion.
