Keys Lounge - Portland

On Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, they spin vinyl records from a sizable collection, and the music is played loud enough that you have to nearly shout to be heard, even when sitting close to someone. Personally, we prefer the other days when they have a great Pandora station that creates a cool atmosphere, reminiscent of Ocean's 11 meets Outta Sight. There's also outside seating available. Overall, the place has a trendy vibe, and the staff are really friendly and laid-back.

We've been wanting to try this restaurant for quite some time, but we never found the opportunity until now. We had a wonderful time; the music was fantastic, and the food and drinks were excellent. Each cocktail was perfectly balanced in flavor. We each ordered a sandwich with a side of fries, but our favorite dish of the evening was definitely the popcorn—it was seasoned just right and had no unpopped kernels. The decor and ambiance were just perfect!

As always, everything was excellent. The bartender recommended the ideal cocktail, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I also had a delicious burger accompanied by curly fries, and the music selection was delightful.

Portions were a bit smaller than I would have liked for the price, but it was good still! Drinks were interesting and fast. Would like to check this place out again when it is busier, seems like the vibes would be cool.

Honestly, the drinks here are top notch and the service and atmosphere are wonderful. Unfortunately, I’m older and female, and it’s been a pandemic for years now. I genuinely had no idea that a newfangled, stylish type of man idiot existed in this world. They do appear to appear in force at this bar because of its many fine and delightful qualities. Luckily, our severs handled every situation with dignity and class and my evening with women I enjoy was mostly uninterrupted and lovely. I will return at the soonest opportunity for a Rose City Sunrise.
