Had the chance to visit this lovely bar last week while waiting for my train. It was the highlight of my trip: great vibe, friendly bartender and clientele, and good beer. I look forward to coming back here when I am next in town.

I don’t get racially profiled that often in PDX anymore, but this bar provided a fresh experience.After purchasing a drink from them, and then spending time in their outdoor seating area, I asked to go back inside to go to the bathroom. The bouncer demanded that I show my wristband for proof that I paid for a drink and, I do not see them asking anyone else for proof.After I contested the attitude they gave me, they told me I was no longer allowed. After spending upwards of an hour in line just to buy a couple drinks, you would think that you could go to the bathroom without any sort of judgment. But not here.Moral of the story is don’t go to this bar if you’re are shade of brown. This place doesn’t want us here.Also: this event said masks required. Literally nobody was wearing one.Edit: the owner responded to this review to invalidate my experience. Not surprised at all. They claim that this was all just a safety measure, but only letting those who bought drinks use the bathroom has nothing to do with safety!

Welcoming, relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful outdoor seating on Park Ave. REALLY good mixed drinks! Live music too!

Small bar with a really chill vibe - perfect for a low-key cap to the night. The owner & bartender, Veronique, was friendly and knowledgeable, and fixed some really solid drinks for my friends and me. Definitely recommend stopping in.?

Fantastic bar with delicious cocktails. Bartenders were incredibly entertaining and skilled. Great discovery in the Pearl.

Been following this bar on Instagram for a while. This was definitely one place I wanted to visit and I did. Bar staff was definitely friendly, and knew how to make some good drinks. I loved the drink menu. Vibes were what I was hoping for. Looking foward to coming back

What a fantastic little place. It’s tucked away in a little corner, but serves some well curated cocktails.

The kind of place you feel at home the minute you enter. The kind of place where you leave following the owner, bartender, and fellow patrons on IG. The kind of place where you ask for “something with bourbon” and get a bespoke cocktail that tastes like autumn in a glass. The kind of place you wish existed in every city you visit or lived in.Go because it’s close to the train station, or because you want a cocktail in the brewpub-heavy Pearl District, or because the bartender is going to have an amazing Halloween costume. But definitely go.

What is going on with this bar?Bartenders are sweet but operate with less than desirable efficiency.The ambience outside is really not good, from the awkward tables to the campers across the street, which I realize is not their fault.I'll come back for the novelty, but will shy away from ordering mixed drinks and stick to beer and wine.

I've been to 16 countries and this bar has been the best bar I've ever been to. The owner and bartender were AMAZING.
