Cozy, comfortable good ambiance. Drinks are spendy but what isn't nowadays. I'd go back. Park at Jefferson and first and walk across the street. Cheaper.

Good in the winter, probably fantastic in the summer. It can be hard to find beautiful rooftop bars in Portland, so I was surprised that I had not previously been here for a fun night out. Friends and I arrived around 9:30pm on a weekday after an event to enjoy a nightcap. The bar was half closed since they did not need as much space during the week, which was totally fine for us. At first glance, I was impressed with the diversity of clientele, and the attention to detail by the staff for our group. We chose a comfy seating area, and were immediately taken care of by lovely staff. We were both sassy and energetic to each other, which always makes for a nice time. I was surprised with how slow our drinks were made, considering it was not busy. However, we had water and good conversation so we were totally happy. Time passed, and we were honestly just having a good time. The space is comfortable, and the soft materials and curtains do a great job at keeping the space ambient and quiet, with the low-fi music. The fire pits were on outside, so they would be a great space to enjoy if you're into being cold during the winter. My only feedback would be that our group felt like we were being pushed out. The team began to close the space around 10:40pm, much before the space actually closes. Our group kept questioning if we were welcome, but, we also had to get home to rest. If it were another night and we had more energy, I think we would have been a little more uncomfortable with the timelines here.

Craft cocktails generally $16 a pop. Can be slow service when it's busy, especially on weekends. Good food, small menu.

First of all, I was under the impression that we would need a reservation, and there were plenty of seats without one. The crowd was a mixture of business people, a family, and couples mainly at 7 on a Thursday. We had peeked at the menu ahead of time to see what yummy beverages they had, but the menu was different and nothing looked great-so we ordered an all time standby-lemondrops. This was an excellent drink! We also ordered a hummus plate, a little basic, and a Caesar salad with chicken, not the best ever. The staff were absolutely phenomenal and sooooo friendly. The view was great, the bathroom was super cool, lol. All in all, not sure we will be back, parking wasn't easy, not worth the cost of valet.

Wow, I was really surprised to find a three star rating for this place. I came for drinks and appetizers and, while I wasn't totally blown away, the people were nice and the food and drinks were pretty good. I was seated right away outside around 5pm on a Thursday night. By 6-6:30pm, it really kicked up and outside was fairly full. The view of the city was really nice and I enjoyed just sitting outside sipping my drink. The first drink I ordered was a special from their menu. Can't recall exactly what it's called, but it tasted like a liquid fruit roll up. It was too sweet for me. I ordered a cosmo afterwards and it was pretty good. It wasn't too sweet like some places make it. For appetizers, I tried the truffle fries, hummus plate, Brussels sprouts (no bacon, I was glad they could make that accommodation), and the Asian pear salad. I'm not often the kind of person who orders salad out, but this salad was so good. My favorite part of the meal. The pear and goat cheese combo was so refreshing, and the lemon thyme vinaigrette went perfectly with it. I'd absolutely get that again. The fries and hummus plate were okay. Nothing super special, and the hummus plate needed more pita bread. The Brussels sprouts were a close second to the salad, and I would absolutely order them again. For two people, this was more than enough food. Next time, I would hold the fries and either ask if the hummus plate could include more pita bread or try something new.

I'm not sure why there are so many "bad" reviews, because I've been here twice now and thought the experience wasn't bad at all! They have plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors and every time I've gone, the place has been very busy. So, it makes sense that service (for food) is a bit slower, but even then, they were very kind and when you're drinking with friends it didn't matter as much. Indoor and outdoor seating gives off different vibes--especially at night. Both are fun: the outdoor seating is lively and the view is beautiful, and indoor the lights make it a mellow, but fun ambiance. Food here is pretty standard. I'm a big fan of truffle fries, and wished that these had a bit more truffle flavor. Their shrimp cocktail, and flatbread is also pretty standard--good, but nothing outstanding. Overall, I think it's a pretty solid place for rooftop drinks in Portland!
