Bar Loon

Cute space with a back patio for additional seating. Enjoyed this place so much, that I have been back twice in the last few weeks. The food honestly surprised me. I wasn't expecting much, but almost everything I tried was delicious and devoured(so good I didn't take photos). The farm greens and broccoli are a must. So flavorful! The chicken has a really good sauce and shareable! 100% recommend!

I'll be completely honest and say I wanted to hate this place because I was a long time SweetHereAfter regular and I live a one minute walk away, but it's actually delightful, intentional and the people that work here really care about it and it shows. Yes it's more expensive, but it's worth it. It's not a place i'll come to every week but I'll come here a couple of times a year and I will savor every moment and the food is fucking delicious! If you don't love the mini martini, you're a soulless zombie. Kisses.

Love love the vibe here. Super cozy patio! Excellent food haven't had a bad thing here. Service is quick and friendly. Lovely place to go with friends or go on a date.

Food was wonderful, great facelift from sweet hereafter. Love the ambiance. Inside was nice and cool even on a hot day. Staff was friendly. Service is order at the counter. Somewhat limited indoor seating.

Wish they wouldn't have painted over the amazing wood interior of this space - and wish they had more vegan options and accessible prices. RIP Sweet Hereafter. Portland certainly did not need Bar Loon.

I love it here! Such a great space, it's so warm and inviting, the bartenders are all lovely, the drinks are tasty (I've had the white Negroni and the tiny martini quite a few times), the wine selection is good, the food is SO delicious. The freaky flower cloud is cool. Everything is priced well and the portions are good but not overwhelmingly large, plus lots of gluten free options (thank you!). The burger and the half chicken were both heavenly, as was the olive oil cake.

Really disappointing experience. Was excited to check this place out as I had a good time at their sister restaurant Bellweather Bar, but something feels lost here. I get that it's self-service so you order food/drinks at the bar, but with a larger group like what we had the concept feels lazy, it was really cumbersome to keep getting out of the booth to go up for the littlest things, I made 3 trips to get water while the staff chatted behind the bar and if you're going to put a $52 steak on the menu there should at least be a quality check from the staff but all they did was nonchalantly clear plates. The food was a huge disappointment, the Grilled Broccoli was actually rotten, I was aghast that they could serve what was clearly yellow, wilted expired broccolini for $13. Thankfully we opted for the smaller portion of the steak because that was not good either, it had a grey color and tasted like it was sous-vide or something without the proper sear. At least the fried wedges were good and the cocktails thankfully was better than the food. Very disappointing experience.

Great service and good wine selection! It still has a wonderful vibe like the old Sweet Hereaftet

Such a charming space with an incredible menu to match. The cocktails are excellent, the wine selection perfection and the food is next level. The Niçoise salad is easily the best I've had in years. Would be a super cute date spot or easy, casual but exceptional dinner spot!
