I think this is one of the best bars to hang out at in Portland. The ambience is kitchy-eames-wannabe furniture and a little-known back room area where smoking is allowed all the time. The music is usually enjoyable-I've often asked what they are playing. The drinks are definitely stiff and the price reflects it. Once you get to know the bartendars, you'll always have a fresh drink. I also enjoy the art shows they host. Definitely a cool place to "chill."
Pros: Great Atmosphere, Trendy, Back Room Smoking
Cons: No Smoking until 10, Have to know staff
