The Low Tide Lounge

Cute, dark hip little bar. Great drinks, killer juke box and tasty bites. Will be back soon!

My friends and I came to visit Portland and stayed in a Airbnb that was literally down the street from the spot. We had initially came here for the drinks, as I know that they also serve food. Since we had just had dinner, we didn't order any food.Additionally, I had gone ahead and ordered a cocktail, which I cannot recall the name, but do know it contained dark rum, and coconut. The drink itself was good, but a little strong for my taste. Everyone else had beer. After we all had received our drinks, we proceeded to go upstairs to a very cool, hangout spot, decorated with fake plants and couches. The lighting in this spot is very dim which added to their ambience. They also have a photo booth downstairs near the bar, which I thought was really cool. I would definitely come back and try other cocktails and food.

Nice vibe with the decor. They have pool and shuffleboard. The beer selection was good. They get two stars because of the bar tender. He was off putting, and in the middle of taking my order took two other people's order instead. I'm sure it's because they were young and pretty, but isn't the older bar tender hitting on young women a little archaic? Didn't enjoy that.

A wide assortment of margs for a great price. The bartenders are fast and the indoor/ outdoor space makes this an ideal neighborhood spot for a night out.

This is a great place for drinks and Tex-Mex food! Their nachos are very good and so huge! I call them Nacho Mountain! But you can order a small for one or two people. Their quesadilla is super excellent and also quite large. There were four of us and one large nacho and one quesadilla fed us all, I left feeling super stuffed. Drinks are well made and tasty. Although service is friendly and quick, you do have to order at the counter and there is sometimes a long line. Low Tide does a great business and has lots of tables, my one suggestion would be that they consider hiring a couple of servers. This, however, is a fun, fun place to go with friends.

Decided to go to the Low Tide Lounge to meet up with some local friends while we were visiting Portland. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the bartender gave us some recommendations for food and drinks. I normally would have ordered a beer, but he convinced me to get the Piña Colada slushee and it was fabulous! Went back for seconds later. For food, we had the special, which were the shrimp tacos (yum!) and we also had some empanada bites, plantain chips, and chips and salsa. Everything was great but I have to say, the salsa was AMAZING. Best salsa I've ever had outside of an authentic Mexican restaurant. If I lived in this area, I would return just for the chips and salsa. Honestly. So, so good. We can't wait to visit Portland again because we will definitely come back to the Low Tide Lounge. Also, the ambience is really chill and the music was good and not too loud. We appreciated being able to talk with our friends without having to shout, which seems to be the norm in most places these days.

was very impressed with this paper straw, it held up all night, is the first "bendy" paper straw I have seen? Classic blue and white stripes. 10/10 straw action over here at Low tide (plus the "small nachos" were large and awesome and i highly recommend) ((they have olives on them tho))

Stiff drinks & great nachos! Great for date night and they have a photo booth! They have outside and inside seating!

Been here a few times! Nachos are great for a group! Also got their empanadas and they were 10/10. Order up at the bar and find a seat!

The size of these nachos is insane! The small would be a large anywhere else! Your choice of salsa or pico and I appreciate the healthy amount of sour cream.
