"The rooftop dining area at this retro, midcentury-style hangout is one of the best spots to take in views and soak up the vibes of the artsy Alberta district. Serving daily brunch, lunch, happy hour, dinner, and drinks, diners can pair Radio Room’s picturesque panorama with challah French toast and mimosas in the morning or burgers, fries, and cocktails come nighttime. From the second-floor vantage point, gaze across Portland’s urban canopy, with cathedral spires and neighboring houses poking through the foliage." - Zoe Baillargeon
"Radio Room’s multi-tiered patio on Alberta is a common hangout for neighborhood locals, who cut into eggs Benedict and nurse iced Cowboy Coffees on weekend mornings with a view of the bustling street below. In the evening, it can be a lovely spot to soak in a sunset over a bowl of shrimp and grits or a raspberry vodka lemonade." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"From 3 to 6 p.m., Alberta natives sit on this popular bar’s relaxed rooftop patio to drink $6 glasses of wine and $9 raspberry lemonades spiked with vodka. Food hews toward American standards, including $11 burgers and $6 french fry baskets. However, a few fun additions appear on the menu, as well — $11 chicken parm sandwiches, for instance. Vegans and gluten-free diners will find plenty of options, as well. Happy hour runs from 3 p.m. to close on Sundays, too." - Dianne de Guzman
"This Alberta Arts District standby in a former service station is the place to get the midcentury vibes going, with vinyl spinning and one of the city’s best patios in warmer weather. Radio Room consistently serves inventive spirit-free cocktails, like the Tina Louise Nojito, whose standard mint and lime get funky with ginger beer and sesame oil, and the Orange Dream, an orange creamsicle-vibed drink with coconut and pineapple. Sober visitors can also opt for standards like the nonalcoholic michelada or a rotating shrub soda." - Thom Hilton
"As is tradition for the Northeast Alberta Street bar, Radio Room will have its big screen on for election results starting in the early evening. Happy hour runs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the mid-century-inspired lounge, but patrons can quell Election Night nerves with cocktails like spiced lemon drops or zero-proof phony Negronis all night." - Janey Wong
