I always went past this place either walking or driving past and last night was the first time I actually went inside and let me tell you the vibes in that place was pure dopeness! Reminds me of being in Hoboken, NJ. The music was on point and shout out to the bartenders last night they had that energy

The food was AMAZING. We walked around different places and we waited for LFK to open and we’re not disappointed. The portions were HUGE and the margarita pizza and anti-gyro wrap were absolutely amazing. Staff was helpful but seemed almost that we were bothering them because we walked in right as they opened. Otherwise amazing food and atmosphere. Must visit vegetarian spot in Portland.

Stopped for drinks before a show at the State Theater. Great vibe and atmosphere. Friendly staff, plenty of drink and food options.

Positives: Food is good! I recommend Their El fumo pizza and curly fries with truffle ketchupIn general, It's a cool place, but the staff is hit or miss. They change them so often, it's hard to keep up and you never know what to expect. One time we sat down for 30 minutes and nobody greeted us even tho they clearly saw us, and many times we had the time of our lives!Downsides: They take every policy too seriously, which makes it very unwelcoming. Even if you honor each policy they have. You might as well go to any bar around the area and enjoy a more welcoming atmosphere.

We went out to celebrate my sons B day. Didn't know how much anything was. Bartender has a slight sense of arrogance he serves people well but not very polite. I had 2 drinks no idea how much. Wish we had found a found a friendlier place ?

Drove 5 hrs from New York just to have another one of this “pickle back” thing. It unique and you can’t find it anywhere else but here. Staff is extremely friendly. Thanks guys

Really cool place. Drinks were good. Waffle fries were good. Bacon was awesome. Music was interesting.

The drinks were very good. However, I have never been treated so poorly by a barman. As someone living in a country for 5 years where tipping is not custom and just arriving back in the united states, I forgot to tip for the first round. When my foreign partner went to get a second round and offered to tip twice for what we forgot the first time, the barman refused to serve us. I proceeded to apologize and explain the situation and he kicked us out of the bar.

Loved this spot. We hit it on our way home for a night cap and ended up getting way too much (delicious) food, as well. With board games and interesting decor, we loved it and were so glad we stopped in. Would go back again when visiting Portland.

Nice bar, good drinks and the food looked yummy. The bartender, I think his name was Denny, was great. Good atmosphere, I’d go back again anytime.
