The Midnight

Was visiting friends for the weekend and they took me here. It was so fun! They had a free ice luge and a fun band playing in the basement. It gives spooky vampire vibes in there

Although this spot looks like a dive bar from the outside, the inside couldn't be further from one! Gothic and dark themed, the inside is such a stark contrast to the bustling street outside. Although completely painted in black, the inside was still open with high ceiling and circular bar in the center.Lots of drinks on the menu, all of which were very enticing. I enjoyed my Pink Nectar that had an interesting array of ingredients in it.The volume was a bit loud eventhough there weren't a lot of people. I think they use the space as a music veneue too.

Came in for a quick drink because we were in the area and it was so dark and moody, in the best way! I almost wish that I had found this place in October, because the vibe is very gothic and Halloween-esk. The bar tenders were super nice and attentive. Didn't get a chance to try any of their signature cocktails, but I will say they can make the basics because I had a cosmo and it was great! I would love to come back and try out more things from their menu. This place was cute and fun and I look forward to returning!

Stopped in because the bar across the street we originally wanted to go to wasn't open for another 30 mins. Vibe was very dark and gothic like. Really cool spot and the drinks were yummy but the drink I ordered on the menu was $13 and when I got the bill, they charged me $14 for it.

After dinner we grabbed a cocktails. I had been wanting to check this place out. The place did not disappoint dark and moody which is my vibe. I looked over the menu and wasn't sure what to get so I asked the bartender what I should order and he suggested the Siren Serenade. We definitely enjoyed the bar.

Gorgeous space, gorgeous drinks and gorgeous bartenders... I hadn't been out to a bar in eons and I am glad that this was my reintroduction. I didn't want to peruse the menu - you know those days where a menu just seems complicated? So I negotiated a blackberry kamikaze with the bartender/owner. It was perfection and served in a gorgeous glass. My second one was made by a different bartender and also glorious! I really have to made a note to thank them for having shelving filled with thoughtful things... It is different but adds a dark coziness I personally found refreshing. Restaurants and bars seems so very cold with their temporary looking art work where this space genuinely looks and feels like someone thought about it. The crowd within was delightfully diverse which also speaks highly of the space since everyone was in great spirits. A gal was walking by me and accidentally dumped her glass of wine on me before complimenting my outfit - hay, respect - she was genuinely very sweet and I am a huge klutz so no judgement.The music was wonderful but even better when the DJ set up shop playing a great set in his kitty sweater bad assness. I've heard tell that there are other acts and stuff here and there performing and that there is additional space to it. Also, their food looks great so I look forward to venturing there again.

Service was fast and attentive at the bar. Drinks were spicy, fresh, and vibrant. My friend and I had the Siren Serenade and it was such a fresh taste. The rock and roll vibes reminded us of Guitar Hero, and the red lighting, textured walls, and magnificent feature wall invited the wandering eye. Definitely a biker bar with style!

We came in to meet some friends for Happy Hour, the last time we were here was what was called the Liquor Store.The cocktail menu was one of the most creative I have seen in a while. Drink prices are very reasonable and not inflated which is nice currently due to prices increasing for everything. The Midnight Oil and Fernet and Cola were my favorite drinks.I was surprised the menu was vegan/vegetarian as I usually like some meaty snacks but the food was very good. The sweet corn empanadas were amazing, I could eat several of them and be very satisfied.The venue is dark yet warm and comfortable to hang out in. They also still have the music venue downstairs, which I have not seen any performances there yet.The staff was amazing and really made our visit too notch. Friendly, courteous and made you feel welcome.I will definitely be back I really want to try more of their cocktail menu.

I swore I left a review a long time ago! This is hands down my favorite bar in PDX for a craft cocktail. The menu rotates frequently with exciting new takes on some classics and a great selection of spirit forward choices too! Want something Tiki inspired or have a question about exotic rum... just ask!They also have a venue in the basement for live shows!It's the perfect place to be left alone and have a great drink and it's also the best place to bring a friend and meet someone new. The service is attentive, thoughtful and welcome without pandering to anyone.

Finally, a bar I can love...too bad I am not really a big drinker. The decor here is gorgeous, someone who clearly knows how do a sophisticated interior, instead of lot of the down home style stuff you usually see in Portland. The music was really good the night we were there. The bartenders were extremely nice, and the food was excellent. It's a little pricey, but everything is nowadays. That's just how it's going to be for a while, and at least this place makes it worth it.
