The Nest Lounge

NYE 2025. Wasn’t expecting my night to be ruined. Bartender was scrolling through tinder instead of serving people drinks. I politely asked her after a couple minutes if I could place an order (mind it was New Year’s Eve and there was a big line) When I asked for a drink, and tipped 20% she scoffed and made a rude remark that "how is anyone supposed to live on a 20% tip" after pouring my beer half full of foam. The place looks like it could be nice without the crude, condescending, bar tenders. It was dirty. Never again.

A great bar with lovely infusions, and plenty of seating options. I enjoyed the lavender gin and the jukebox featuring local Portland artists. The patio was spacious and comfortable. The service was friendly, and the space felt overall very welcoming. Will be back!

Went to the bar and the bartender immediately yelled at us. She spoke some other language, apparently she said "show me your id’s", couldn’t understand her, then tried to berate us for not showing our id’s as soon as we walked in. I went straight to the bar and waited to get served to enjoy a pint and play ping pong, she kept berating us so we left. We may try again in the future and hope for a different bartender, but that was ridiculous.

I used to go hear when they had a spot on Alberta. It’s sad to say that the staff was rude when I went there the other day. I was the second person at the counter waiting to close my tab for a few minutes and the bartender skipped over me to help a couple who had just walked in. And then wouldn’t hand me a pen to sign the receipt. As a POC I wouldn’t say I felt welcomed there.

the green haired bartender with the buzzcut had an awful attitude all night. from the moment we walked in they were short & disrespectful.

Definitely bad service but what do you expect? Still an awesome bar

Another great bar off Belmont in the SE neighborhood. Lots of levels and never too packed with lots of activities
