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! read more

Tope - Chips, Queso, Guac (one bite out), and Salsa - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The food here is actually horrible, I appreciate their efforts in trying to approach this cuisine in a unique way, but keep it the way it was cause there was nothing wrong with it! I will say the drinks are great and strong and you will definitely have a nice buzz during your meal. The service was also friendly and unique. The ambience is very hip and cool. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Tope - Chicken Tinga Tacos - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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. read more

Came today for Cinco de Mayo. Which btw Mexicans don't actually care for this day, it's a heavily American tradition. Anyways, the ambiance is great. Nice views of Mt Hood and the Eastside of Portland. Good vibes overall when it comes to the ambiance. Has a cool chimney with seating around it. The food, extremely overpriced. $7-$8 for a TINY taco. My barbacoa taco had a pinch of meat. Mostly tortilla. For a "traditional and Mexican inspired" taco place, you would think it would be better. The tortillas, were the biggest disappointment. This seems to be another "trendy" and extremely overpriced "Mexican" spot. Oh btw, every single staff member is white, lol. It took way too long for a server to come take our order too. I would only come here on a date, MAYBE. Just because of the view and vibe. read more

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. read more

Tope - A plate of tacos. The order was one taco short, and everybody at the table was served on the same plate. - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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! read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

Great views!!! Have been wanting to come here for awhile, a fun rooftop experience. It was a beautiful day and a bit windy... be forewarned (ladies and gents with hair down) but if you go inside no problem and still good views. Prices are decent but definitely priced around a rooftop vibe (higher end), drinks were delicious and the food was good. Really loved the chips, salsa and guac - a little too pricey but still yummy. They did allow a chip refill for extra cost. Drinks were tasty, more on the pricey side for cocktails. We shared a plate of tacos and were able to split them from 3 to 6, very filling! Mexican based food was good just a little less flavor than we are used too (could be to help with the crowd not being used to spices?) The staff was incredibly friendly and the service was good. Would love to come back to take friends and family. read more

This place was stunning, and aesthetically pleasing, but $7 for one tiny, mid taco??? Crazy. It was an alright taco, but not much going on. They also forgot about mine and my friends taco and then charged him less, but charged me the full amount. Again, cute for a girls night out, but probably wouldn't come back. read more

We called and this place worked to squeeze our party in for a great first dinner in the city. Natessa was everything we could ask for as a server. On point and informative for first timers. If you've searched pics or these, it's a very cool space. Out of the 4 things we ordered, only the barbacoa tacos were slightly disappointing. Delicious but a lil greasy. The rest was very solid. Next time we're back in Portland, we'll be stopping in again. read more

What a beautiful venue. It's a roof top with great views of Portland. The venue is very swanky and modern with terrific staff. My friend and I had light bites and some wine and sat outside. It is a good place for a date too. I would definitely come back when I'm in town. read more

Not a bad seat at Tope! My date and I arrived on a busy Saturday night without a reservation, and, after learning that it was graduation day in PDX, we were honestly unsure if we could even secure a table. However, the vast bar-style seating or outdoor seating made it easy to find somewhere cozy. The team at Tope is welcome and gives guests a good amount of space between orders. They are clearly good at their jobs, coming in just when you need a new drink, more food, or help in any way. We decided to go with the recommendations of our server each time, except when ordering food. The menu is limited with food options, since the focus is predominantely tacos. The ceviche is well made, with great tortilla chips, seafood, and sauces. I would say that it is one of the better ceviches in Portland, so enjoy! I really enjoyed the views on a stormy Saturday, especially when seated near the fire pit, which sends out a good amount of warmth. The sunset reflecting a rainbow of colors off of the towering building around us was romantic. read more

We ate here in May 2024 on a whim after loving the menu. Arrived without a reservation and did not have to wait to be seated at the bar we figured we could get a table after drinks but the place was packed inside and out. Naturally the service was a bit slow but the bar was attentive with drinks I loved the decor, they've got a kind of organic modern theme going with a lively environment that's great for happy hour. We ordered each of the margaritas on the menu (shown below) they were great, nothing lift changing but very well balanced. For food we had the Chuletas al pastor which was really great the pineapple habanada salsa with the red mole was yum-my!! Not pictured is the Birria Torta as I ate that so fast I didn't have time for a photo needless to say that is good as well although the rolls were a bit harder/crispier than I would have liked. Definitely make a reservation if possible as table waits can be long. read more

The only thing good about this place is the view and how the food tastes. The proportions were incredibly small but admittedly tasty. Service was left more to be desired. Waitress solely talk to acknowledged me and did not even ask my dinner guest what it is that they would want. Just kind of like a glance in their direction and then proceeded to walk away. I don't know if this is normal but not a huge fan of how they were treated. Which is why this four star is more of a two star. Please do better read more

Tope - Mocktail: something with gingerbeer - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The view is awesome down the Burnside Bridge and of the Steel and Broadway Bridges. The mocktails are tasty and of a fair price. The chips are plentiful. The queso is not very hot, in spice or temperature. The ceviche left something to be desired- the citrus notes were dominating. We didn't stay long. read more

Me and my gals were looking for a rooftop bar and Tope popped up first so we decided to give this place a try. We were in aw of the modern interior decor and we came right when the sun was setting so the view was stunnnning!! They were out of a lot of items on the menu when we came, was kinda disappointed bc it was only 8pm when we got a table so we had to ordered whatever was available to order. I knew what kind of establishment Tope was so my expectation for the food weren't high and I was right the food was just mid- for the price I thought it would taste better but nothing really wow me. Its definitely pricy but you pay for the view here. The rooftop patio was full so we didn't get to sit outside to enjoy the view but overall I think Tope is an okay spot to try if you're looking for something new and catch up with friends. Note: Parking is somewhat hard because it's in downtown/ chinatown but I think there's a valet available in front of you need help. Its located inside the hotel so when you walk in you just take the elevator to go on top. read more

First thing that comes to my mind as I write this review is the beautiful space -very minimalistic and industrial yet has a very inviting vibe. The outdoor patio is definitely a showstopper and I wish I had been here during summer to enjoy it. Our friends made reservations, and we were seated immediately as a result. The drinks arrived soon and were followed by the food. We shared a portion of the chips and guac/salsa and then each one of us got a separate entree . I had the Polo Pibil Tacos and the hubby got the Al Pastor. We loved both the food and drinks and felt that the portion sizes were just right. The ingredients including the condiments tasted very fresh . The staff were very pleasant to interact with and made sure we had a lovely dinner. read more

What a great little place! Right on the edge of Chinatown, just a step beyond the Chinese gateway, lies the Hoxton Hotel. The area outside is a bit "sketch", as they say (similar to our Chinatown here in Vancouver, BC, sadly), but this hotel seems super cute, and the lobby is really cute. On the rooftop of this hotel is the Tope restaurant, and my kid and I dined here the evening of Cinco de Mayo (which was so fitting, as this is restaurant serves Mexican cuisine, in smaller plates, like a tapas style). I was really impressed by the outdoor patio and the view of the city. This patio is large and would be phenomenal to dine here on a summer evening! Lots of string lights and comfy seats, and a view that's fabulous! The interior of the restaurant is also pretty cool, with a large, square, central table with a fire pit in the middle (my kid and I sat at this table), as well as a casual counter along the wall along the whole restaurant perimeter, so you can sit and see the city skyline wherever you sit. There's a full bar and they serve amazing artisan cocktails. I forget what I ordered but it was beautiful and pink and delicious. My kid loved her cocktail as well. And the food! SO SO good. I was a little worried as I can't tolerate hot or spicy foods, but everything we had was so flavorful without being spicy. We ordered the ceviche with shrimp (our favorite dish! SO good), a chicken dish (I forget what it was, but it was delicious), the charred peppers (very tasty. My kid loved them and had had them before on a prior visit here), and our delicious cocktails. The plates were perfect for sharing and, if we hadn't been planning to go out for dessert afterwards, we probably would have ordered another dish or two. But our three dishes were the perfect amount for a light dinner, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Our server was very helpful in advising us about the drinks and the dishes, knowing I can't do spiciness. And she was attentive and friendly, too. Bonus! Great spot for a lovely dinner! Oh, and it's just a block from Voodoo Donuts, too (FYI!). read more

We stayed in the Hoxton over the weekend and decided to try out the rooftop restaurant and we were really happy we did. The space is very modern and bright. The outdoor space is clean and inviting with a view that will make you glad you came. We got there just before sunset and there was a full moon so it was really pretty. The food was really good too. We got chips, guacamole, and salsa. The chips were made fresh and served warm. Salsa and guacamole were flavorful. We also tried the chorizo empanadas and liked those so much we ordered a second batch. We then shared the carne asada which was on special. Was cooked to perfection but we both felt could use some salt. However when we added the guacamole and salsa it was fine. For drinks we did a spicy margarita and that was good too. Staff was friendly, fast, and made some good recommendations. We would come back again! read more

Definitely a rooftop spot to come for the vibes. Located in Chinatown parking here can get a little tough but they do have valet if you don't get lucky. Be sure to set a reservation in advance especially in the spring/summer since you'll want to be sitting outside to enjoy the sun! However, I really like the ambiance of the indoor space with the tiles and live plants lining the space. I would opt to enjoy the bar seating as well by the windows or by the pit in the middle. Tope has a good mix of cocktails, wine and spirits. I enjoyed the pepinos locos and it went well with the bites we ordered. I didn't order too much on the menu but definitely get the dip with chorizo on top to share. They come with plenty of chips and you might even want to get another order. I also ordered the fish tacos but didn't really hit it for my tastebuds so I would pick something else next time. Overall, it's more sharing plates so if you want to try more come early with a group to get your prime location. read more

Dinner at Tope on the roof felt like one of those rare, perfect nights you wish you could bottle.

We fell into easy, joyful conversation with fellow diners, the kind of exchanges that make you feel truly connected to the moment. The mood was nothing short of magical, and the staff was fabulous.

Came to enjoy a good dinner. I ordered 3 chicken tacos. I was given pork tacos. I asked the waiter twice if he was positive it was chicken. He said yes. I ate half taco before realizing it was pork.

I came here to celebrate my friend's birthfay and the service wasn't the most attentive. Our water carafe was never refilled in the whole time we spent there. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the server offered my friend a free shot or something off the dessert menu, she chose the churros. They never came so we had to ask for them. My drink was good but it was $19. The churros were amazing when they finally came out! When we received the bill there was a 20% service charge/tip, so we didn't tip in addition. My friend paid the bill and the server said "No tip?" which I think is a bit distasteful considering our experience with the churros, the water, and on top of that they charged for the churros?! At least the sunset and decorations were pretty. read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very trendy, but the music was up quite loud which made it difficult to hear people talk. The view of Portland is beautiful from the rooftop though! Unfortunately this restaurant is located in a part of Portland where there is a large homeless population with lots of drug use so I would recommend not leaving this place after dark for safety. The drinks were good but a bit overpriced. The NW Margarita was $16 and it looked to be about 8oz. The food was tasty, but the portions were small for the price. Interactions with staff were pretty neutral, they were not overly friendly or welcoming. read more

Get. The. Churros. They're incredible. The dulce de leche sauce is incredible. Staff is extremely friendly.

Vibes were good but that's it. Food: I had the fish tacos and it lacked seasoning. All I could taste was the sour cream they slather on the tortilla. The asada tacos were okay, nothing special. Not pictured were the carnita tacos, that meat was probably the best one but in all the tacos the tortillas were cold and almost stale-like. Drinks: I personally didn't have anything to drink but the people at my table said their drinks were really strong (in a good way), but they also didn't feel like the price was worth it. Overall this place seems a little too expensive. This feels like a place you'd go specifically for the vibes and view on the rooftop. .

Located at the top of the Hoxton Hotel, this trendy restaurant is a must visit! With windows all around the natural light shines in and provides cute views of the city, on a clear day you can even see Mt Hood. We got their Slyvan cocktails, along with the Atun Toastada and a pollo pibil. The food and drinks were amazing!

Check my reviews - I am a never-complainer.... well, a rarely-complainer. Sorry, Tope. Some things MUST be said. Talked my family into meeting at TOPE for a Sunday Eve sunset dinner as our last-night in Portland spot. Reviews looked good - the space looked awesome - central-ish location. I LOBBIED for Tope as our spot Well.... we spent $300 for 6 people to have 2 pitchers of Margaritas (THE WORST weak ass sour af where is the tequila concoction), 2-3 tacos each ($6 each taco! meh and small and bland but not awful - is that OK if that is all they serve?) some chips & guac (like a mall food court set up) and a dessert that our adorable server tried to warn us against (she was correct - it was ugly & tasted weird) My comment as we rode down the elevator "This place has one HELL of a publicist" My brother in law's comment "Why have a restaurant like this if the food ISN'T GOOD?" 3 good things MUST also be acknowledged - The pretty hotel entrance - THE EPIC ROOFTOP VIEW and the very nice server who tried their best.
