"With a spacious interior bar and an even more expansive patio — both covered and unroofed but tree-lined sections are vast — Rontoms is perhaps the most inviting gathering spot in this corner of the inner eastside. Opening at midday and closing late — increasingly rare in post-Covid Portland — Rontoms is an ideal spot to meet friends before or after a Blazers game or a concert. Offering creative and well-balanced cocktails — including booze-free concoctions, Rontoms should have something for most of the party." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"For Portland twenty- and thirtysomethings, Rontoms Sunday Sessions are the stuff of legend: Every Sunday, the East Burnside cocktail bar hosts free concerts on its lush, sprawling back patio, which can get absolutely packed with people under the stage’s angular awning. It’s best to arrive early to scope out a table; you can kill time snacking on burrata and sipping sours. The bands here tend to live in the alt rock, indie pop territory, with a few exceptions — check out the lineup online." - Jenni Moore
"Just around the block from Nong’s, and just steps from several other Eater 38 luminaries, Rontoms is an ideal place to start or end an evening out. The vast patio consists of a covered section with possibly the highest patio roof in the city, along with a large deck dotted with leafy trees and umbrellas providing cover. Rontoms’ bartenders are no slouches and will mix creative originals or expertly crafted classics. Sunday nights often feature concerts on the patio, so plan accordingly." - Nathan Williams

"Most nights, this hip Burnside bar makes for a moody date spot, but on Sunday nights, crowds pack in for a free show. With a bar inside and outside, patrons can find a drink in what is often a packed house and enjoy local and touring bands. Cocktails and food are a little higher-end here, but usually worth the price — happy hour runs from 3-6:30 p.m. daily for a $5 deal on tacos, chicken skewers, and other small bites." - Cooper Green
