Love the Belmont Jewel � and the molten chocolate cake is something that I'd kill for! � � �
I was in for happy hour last night for the first time! I will certainly be back to try all the other happy hour drinks I wasn't able to.
Also our bartender was super cute! �
The Belmont Jewel was $2 at HH and very tasty. The vieux carre was my favorite, though not on HH special. Still worth it. I love that it wasn't too crowded and I could chat with my friend easily while the ambiance was warm and dark. The tomato soup and grilled cheese for $2 at HH was solid too.
Friends! I'm at the Aalto Lounge playing disco records tonight...taking it to the 'outsider' place. Come join me!
I went here with my date while we toured my three favorite bars on Belmont. Excellent drinks and friendly staff. The best part about it is it's so classy and sooooo clean. Highly recommended. Trust me you won't be disappointed.
It's been quite a while since I've been back here. The place is still a pretty chill place to grab a cocktail and hang out at. They have both interior and exterior seating. The happy hour specials are still one of the best in town.
Cocktails are $12-15/ drink. This is a cozy place (albeit loud-did the music have to be up that high?). When it got hot they opened the back from the smoking patio and the smell of cigarettes took over the place. If they never did that again I'd be happy, but the cool air was welcome.
Still, I'll be back. This place impressed me.
One of the most popular HH places in SE Portland and for very good reason! The $4 drinks and eats are delicious and consistent! Go for the grilled cheese if you’re on the hungrier side, it’s filling and very delicious.
Since they are well known, ordering can take a while as it stays solidly busy so I’d recommend ordering everything you want all at once to avoid waiting to order everytime.
Great place for a small group of friends/co-workers hang out, although they only allow service animals on their patio. Small patio, but plenty of indoor space.
The best place in Portland for Happy hour cocktails and snacks. I can't say enough how amazing the staff, drinks and food are here. They have the best happy hour in Portland and there is a smoking patio out back! There are the best bartenders here and they also make such delicious food at such a reasonable price. This is a must try in Portland for cocktails!
Lovely place with good prices and a killer happy hour. Except for first Friday of the month, it's not very loud. Romantic date place.
The atmosphere is awesome, great place for a date night! We used the photo booth which was the cheapest I've ever seen, I think only $3 and the photos get digitally sent to your phone, very good quality pics!!
Happy hour is great, $3 drinks and half off bottles of wine! The service was great! I really wanted to try some of their awesome and cheap happy hour food but we already had dinner plans. I'd definitely go back to this spot!
Best happy hour. Also great spot for cocktails. They have a photo booth but it was broken when I was there. Fun seating, and an outdoor area. Also really good vegetarian "pastrami"
Love Aaltos Happy hour! It's a definite must. Ordered everything on the happy hour menu and a couple cocktails. The prices are great and the food even better.
Such a gem!! Excellent cocktails and snacks, friendly service, cool atmosphere! Who could ask for anything more??
They have a great happy hour. The bar looks small from the outside but they have a back room and a great patio space out back. The food menu isn't big but the drinks are great! Also located in a great spot for a pub crawl.
Wish I could give Aalto six stars. It is our favorite, favorite HH place in Portland. It’s a delicious and cheap dinner with drinks. We usually get there right at 5 and grab a coffee next door at Stumptown if they’re not quite open. $3 food and drinks (including the pictured grilled cheese w/tomato soup). Awesome patio with both smoking and non-smoking sections. Get there early because it fills up quickly and food orders can get backed up.
Cool lounge, atmosphere was on point.
Whisky sour 🥃 was great, the 🍒 were delicious 😋.
What a place! We had such a great time sampling all the delicious happy hour food and drinks!! The happy hour grilled cheese and tomato soup was hands down our favorite but the finger foods were a great add on snack for everyone. We also loved the Jell-O shots! They are on a whole other level and taste nothing like the ones you had when you were in college. We felt very relaxed in the lounge and were really happy that we could all sit down. Will definitely be back!!
Great drinks, patio and back room.
Anna is a friendly bartender 😎
Server our recent visit had a tone of impatience and forced niceness, but have always loved this place otherwise, good cocktails, nice setting and ambiance, good grilled cheese & tomato bisque and macaroni meals, especially good deals for the $3 happy hour option!
their happy hour menu is superb, I'd definitely go back!!! 10 dollar bottles of wine accompanied by grilled cheese and tomato soup, definitely yum
I love coming here for happy hour. Definitely one of the best deals on the eastside! The bartenders are always friendly and the drinks taste great. The interior design is really cool!
Cute little spot with a romantic back room and very trendy back patio (unfortunately, it is a smoking area). Very good happy hour prices ($4) with a limited selection of drinks - I tell you I was SHOCKED at how delicious the bourbon cocktail was, tasted like a jolly rancher. Have not yet had dinner here.
