The Commodore Lounge stands out with its Art Deco charm, offering a nostalgic yet distinctly Portland experience. The historic ambiance and communal atmosphere make it a popular social hub, with events like pinball movie nights fostering connections. The bartenders are highly praised for their friendly service and skill, contributing to the bar's laid-back, welcoming vibe.

Stepping into the Commodore Lounge feels like time traveling to another era, but with a distinctly Portland twist. The authentic Art Deco style is really captivating and gives the space a unique character that's hard to find. It’s more than just a communal area; it's where the building's historic charm truly comes to life. I've heard people mention the lively, communal atmosphere, providing a fantastic social hub for residents and visitors alike. There are often discussions about the pinball movie nights, and just the generally social environment that makes it a great spot to connect. It definitely offers a unique place that brings people together within the historic building.

While I preferred the old location, they have maintained their near-lethal pours. Excellent spot to get radically over-served 😀

I love this place! I love the bartenders. I love the community that gathers there after Timbers matches. I highly recommend stopping in and grabbing a drink if you find yourself downtown.

The staff here is so kind and the environment is super welcoming. I love that this is a more laid back bar rather than a college age party type bar. 50 cent pool as well!! Chelsea and Becks are the sweetest!

I had a weird experience where I tried to walk to the other end of the bar towards the bathroom, and there was a group of three people blocking my path. I said, 'Excuse me,' and the dude in the middle said, 'No, go away.' I was like, who are you to tell me to go away? I said excuse me! It's just common courtesy to step aside when someone's trying to get through a group blocking the main path to the bathroom. It appears that the individual who reprimanded me was the bartender. He became quite agitated and asked me to leave the bar for merely attempting to get to the restroom. That dude wins the Rudest Bartender of the Year award 100%. Never been treated like that for such a simple mistake.
