Candlelight And Lounge - Portland

I came in to wet my pfeife. when ordering my drink, the bartender asked with a smile if I would like to see the menu. I don't intend to get food. Before they know, I see cookies and gravy and a half order very reasonable. with the bartender we talk about making cookies fresh and about a solid gravy that is ready for a customer to supplement more to it vs with too much already. I decided to order

Best no window low light amazing ac bar around. Lots of regulars and bar staff kills it. Michael is my personal favorite. Straight to the point, pours are hard and funny banter. Breakfast is pretty good.

Despite them being out of champagne , it was still frickin rad. I had a cpl great vodka cranberries the AM bartender was awesome, the lady that relieved him, not so much at all, we left after she came on. Did not greet us, thank us , ask us if we wanted anything else etc.. she seemed really crabby .

Someone I was with was being constantly harassed bullied by an obviously drunk regular, over her poker machine. Staff did nothing till it really started to escalate..it lasted way too long. Spent $80 on food and it wasn't near as good as I remembered from a few years back.

Restaurant closed only bar went for dinner with family and was bummed. Looks like it was a nice bar maybe
