Roof Deck at Revolution Hall

Went here for the 4th, great spot! The fireworks were far away but it was fun to see several shows happening! Food was bomb, drinks were good, atmosphere was great. Going into the halls of the school was really fun! Definitely coming back

Attended a show at show bar but stopped at the rooftop bar ahead of time for drinks and to check out the amazing view. It's absolutely gorgeous up there both day and night. Staff members were so sweet and lovely to interact with. They were happy to make modifications to their special to suit my taste. The drink was great. Specialty cocktails are going to cost you a little more but that is to be expected. If you want something a little cheaper you can get a whiskey coke for $8-9. There is also a very large beer selection downstairs if you prefer that and you can bring it upstairs. The view is stunning. I will definitely be coming back and I'm glad that our friend from out of town was able to see such an amazing view of the city.

I was visiting from out of town and truly could not wait to get out of Portland after 36 hours, but this bar turned it all around for me! It was a lovely evening, amazing drinks and gorgeous views. The staff was also incredibly kind. Wish I would’ve found this place sooner!

Sunset best, a little crowded on the weekend which makes it a little hard to find a spot.

They don't offer food, but there is a restaurant downstairs that has great food. The view is terrific and big 🌂 to protect from sunlight. The view is great as well. If the weather is good come here.

Great rooftop and bar, with beautiful views back to Portland city, especially at sunset! Service is ordered by yourself at the bar, paying as you go, with plenty of seating areas on the roof terrace. Staff are friendly too - definitely worth a visit in the evening, the sunset was really beautiful from the roof!

You are coming here for the view - and the view is worth it!! This place has a fantastic overlook of Portland and when we came for a drink the sun was out and the rooftop patio setting was wonderful. The drinks are fine and served in plastic cups. I do enjoy drinks served in glass better, I think it compliments the overall experience and flavor. The vibe is casual, and we did not try the food. When looking at what food was being served, it seemed to be basic bar food - nothing exceptional. I got a glass of chilled Chardonnay, it was pretty good and refreshing for a hot summer afternoon. I will mention that the staff was not particularly friendly compared to the other restaurants and cafes we went into within the city of Portland. This did make the overall experience a little less nice - our waiter just seemed like he really did not want to be there. I would not come to this place for the food, drinks, or staff. I would absolutely come here to experience the rooftop patio setting and get some photos with the epic view of Portland as your backdrop. Come here for a pre-dinner drink and photo session, then head to another restaurant for your main meal.

Giving 5 stars for the roof view alone, drinks are pricey and you have to come a little early to snag a table (first come first serve) but overall a great little spot for drinks and good conversation. The food selection on the rooftop is limited, but you can go downstairs and order food at the Show Bar and take up to the rooftop. This is built from an old renovated high school, so the outside is a little unassuming, but cool refurbished interiors gives some old school nostalgia.

Great service, love the view. If rooftop bar is closed the Showbar is available right out front surrounded by trees. Always our go to when coming to Portland on a sunny evening. Order food downstairs and bring up !

It was our first time here. We were looking for local bars with rooftop deck. This place did not disappoint! This has got to be one of the best views in Portland from a rooftop bar. We came here to "prefunk" and mainly ordered drinks, and got a basket of Fries. Giving it 4 stars because we didn't really eat the food. The drinks were yummy, we would have stayed longer and bought more drinks had they not turned off the music and shut down the bar at about 10:30pm. The vibe is good, we will be back again. There is a bar downstairs that looked to maybe be open a little later. Parking is all on the street. Most of us took an Uber/lyft.

Amazing views and the perfect place to relax. You can see the whole city from here and so many beautiful trees. The drinks are great and service was good. I highly recommend a visit.

Nice to be outside and enjoy a drink! Limited space for views of downtown but pleasant overall and easy to get to.

Cool vibe! We went for walk and ended up here. I immediately thought "how have I never been here before?"! It was so so good! Loved the vibes!

Stumbled across this gem by happenstance looking for outdoor time with a beer.. loads of outdoor space on ground floor plus more upstairs rooftop bar. Healthy variety of craft beer, cocktails, and wine. Not a huge menu but decent with vegetarian options . Food was really good!

Awesome view. Subpar cocktails. Honestly, not much to add to that. The view was wonderful for a couple of out-of-towners looking for some pics. The bar is the top floor of a former high school. There is no food service but there is a cafe and bar on the first floor if you need a bite. The cocktails are far from handmade. They are premade and were not good. There is a reason the best bars have mixologists on staff and a reason that some drinks are better than others. The proportions were off creating a poor beverage experience. Go for the view. Then leave and drink somewhere else.

stumbled upon! lowkey kinda entrance but got busier as the night went on. really informative and kind staff. big spacious area with bottom floor and top floor (rooftop patio that only opens april-october so good for summer nights! and thankfully i went on the last week of summer) and has card games, 2 bars, and little open mic nights. plenty of parking available... drinks weren't as strong with alcohol but a bit more watery imo

Went to a show at the Hall and wanted a drink before going in. The view is amazing! The bar has all the choices and a friendly bartender. $29 for two drinks including tip, so a bit expensive there. Just upstairs from the show making it very convenient.

Great views of Portland at the rooftop at Rev Hall. Wish they would let you bring outside food in and sometimes the bouncers can be rude. But the views are unbeatable. My go-to spot for nice weather Sundays.

My sister and I came here for the views and honestly this place was pretty disappointing. Unless you get one of the prime seats, which are very limited, the views are just meh. As for customer service, this is what disappointed me the most. I came in looking to have a good time and I asked the person behind the bar what they recommended and they looked at me like I was speaking a different language... I settled on the Marsha P Johnson. It was alright. Honestly, I wouldn't come back due to the limited menu options and the customer service.

The bar never misses. The view is good (especially for 4th of July fireworks) and the atmosphere is very relaxed. The drinks are always on point and the food downstairs (which you can bring upstairs) is pretty good too.

This place doesn't really have good views, you can literally go to many areas of Portland on a hill and find a better view. One corner has some okay views of downtown from a distance, but those 2 tables are always taken. Also, they have their last call ridiculously early, like 45 minutes before they close and they close at 11pm or midnight depending on the day. Would definitely skip this if you're considering coming here.

Looking for a hipster, over-priced, limited menu, and beautiful view kind of place? Well my friend, you've found your place. For a first time visitor, finding the entrance inside was a bit confusing at first. That may change when things open up to normal conditions. To gain access to the rooftop, you have to take the elevator up. Their food menu is simultaneously over-priced, limited, and favors the vegan crowd. The food isn't fulfilling, they're more finger food type, so don't expect to get full here. It's good, minus the vegan chicken strips (yuck), so just expect your typical bar food quality here. The fries and fried pickles were the best things, followed by my friend's burger. The drinks were good, but they didn't give that much for the price. The view however, made everything that much better. If you come here on a beautiful day, or sunset like my group did, and it becomes such a enjoyable experience. Overall, the place is average. Yeah it's worth checking out for your first time, but I wouldn't recommend it beyond that. Everyone still left hungry, yet our wallets paid for a full restaurant meal.

When I first arrived, I noticed signs for a high school and next to it was a dog park. I was trying to find the bar and then it hit me: it's on the rooftop of the high school! I was so confused and it just blew my mind that they were next to each other. It is so weird I'll never understand it but hey it works. Looking at other reviews it looks like the high school is decommissioned which makes me feel slightly better but it was just very interesting. Regardless of what the building used to be, what it is now is a chill rooftop bar with great views of Portland. We went on a Sunday afternoon and got a couple seats facing out towards downtown Portland. Parking was pretty easy to find too as it's also in a residential neighborhood and there's free street parking all around. It was sunny and hot when we went and it really was perfect. There are tables with shade as well if you're not a fan of the sun beaming down on you. The drinks themselves were pretty well priced and also pretty good. My first drink was the gethen's sour ($9) which was refreshing and perfect for the hot day. My second drink was the ekumen ($9) which was more spirit forward than my first drink but also really good. Grab a couple friends and head out to this great rooftop bar!

If you're looking for a rooftop bar for a party of any size, this is it! It occupies the space of a previous high school which is super cool and has great 360 views of the city on one side and mountains on the other. Seating on the outdoor front lawn area also is nice, we didn't see indoor seating. They have a solid food selection with burgers, sandwiches and appetizers. Great priced drinks and friendly service. We arrived early to our reservation and they were still able to get us seated with a short wait.

What an AMAZINGLY cool renovation of a school building! Located on the top floor with a panoramic view of Portland and Mt. Hood THIS is the place to come to chill and enjoy a nice brew or glass of wine. I ordered a cocktail but meh... not so much. Music was happening the company was young and hip (I sound like my Mom now LOL) there is seating mainly bar stools at hi boys and along the railing, more seating was towards the direction of Mt. Hood but we didn't go that way. Light food is also offered up here as well. The building has a LOT going on and the restrooms are located on the bottom level so keep that in mind. Ample free parking which is a plus and restaurants in the area if you are hungry after watching the sunset. Respectfully Reviewed.

What an awesome experience! This place use to be a high school and has now been turned into a great hangout spot for adults, kids, and even pets! The rooftop is so nice and the view is breathtaking! They things very convenient for you by ordering through your phone using the qr code. There's also food options but we didn't order any since we just came from dinner. Just a heads up there is a very long wait to go up but there are options to sit on the main floor outside as well. There's a burger place next store that was also pretty busy would like to come back to try.

This is a nice spot to have a drink on a warm day and enjoy the very limited Portland sun. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of tables that offer the prime downtown view. While you can have food up there, you still have to take the elevator down to the lobby and order your food in the restaurant there.

What a unique repurposing of a cool old school building. Literally, an old school, not old-school (drum roll, please. More like eye roll, AIR?). Anyway, Roof Deck itself (this building consists of a couple restaurants downstairs and a venue space) felt like a peaceful and scenic retreat. Great views of the city from one shorter side of the building and a view of yards and trees from the broader side. There was only one employee upstairs, he seemed a bit scattered but was really helpful. Drink ordering upstairs is limited to pre-made cocktails, and maybe typical mixed drinks. Food and other drinks can be ordered downstairs and you are given a buzzer to alert you when it's ready. There were two people working the restaurant downstairs besides the kitchen staff and they seemed a bit scattered too, but very friendly. The burger ended up being REALLY good. Overall, it was a great experience for this out-of-towner, and I would come back again.

They have a great system going during this time! To ensure you can grab a spot with your group or if you're going solo you can reserve a time via Opentable for the rooftop. If you've never been here before it has it's charm being in an old high school. Within the building there is Martha's Bar with outdoor seating and music hall in addition to the rooftop deck. Before you head up on the elevator you check in with the staff downstairs and they walk you through the guidelines before heading up. Once you make it up to the rooftop they check you in again and then it's a first come first serve at one of the rectangular or circular tables. You can't order food up top right now but you can order online or downstairs to pick it up on the lower level to bring to the rooftop deck. The menu has a couple cocktails but also some beers/wines under $10. Overall, the tables were spaced out well with outdoor seating format even with a busy day. If you've never been here they also have an area for you to take your group photos overlooking the city skyline.

You can get a beautiful view of Portland from here, and when the weather is nice it's just a cool place to hang out and enjoy the nice weather. The drinks were just okay though, nothing to special but they were fairly priced given the fact that you get such a good view to come along with it.

My boyfriend and I had approximately 1.5 hours left together in Portland and within that short period of time, we stumbled upon this rooftop bar, which was the perfect ending to our trip together. The view of Portland from this rooftop is beautiful! You can even see a partial glimpse of the new Tilikum bridge, which we really wanted to check out, but didn't have time to.. so seeing it afar with a couple of drinks in hand still did the job all thanks to Revolution Hall. You can order drinks and food up on the rooftop and there's a bunch of benched tables and other tables spread throughout the space. We came during the day, but there were those cute dangly lights that would make an evening out up there even more cooler than it already is. During our stay, we got sangrias as well as the bratwurst to share. The sangrias were delish and the bratwurst was plump & full of flavor, served alongside with a dill pickle and a ton of potato chips. Service here is really friendly and cool too. Seriously though, the view was so great, especially on a rare incredibly sunny Portland day. You've gotta go! We really enjoyed this place a lot :)

Great spot, went mid evening around 6 and it was packed! (Probably on account of the beautiful weather after three 100+ degree days.) Plenty of high tops and long picnic tables for community seating, and easy drinks to grab at the bar to the left when walking in. We had a full evening ahead of us so only stayed a short while and had kombucha, but the great views were worth it. Good to know they have vegan Detroit style pizza for next time!

Finally a new rooftop bar! This one in the east side with sweeping views from every angle. It's on top of the old Washington School on SE Starke with plenty of street parking. The setting is casual, lots and lots of picnic tables, party lights strung about and a bar in the NE corner. The night we were there was a gorgeous, warm and sunny evening - but very windy. They offer blankets which is a nice touch. We grabbed cocktails at the bar and then sat at a table, enjoying the fresh air and views. Drinks were pricey but that's what is expected at a rooftop bar. There was a decent crowd there, people of all types. We only stayed for one drink because we had dinner reservations elsewhere. On the way out, I noticed I lost an earring. People saw me looking and joined in the hunt, successfully finding it! This is Portland, and we do get rain many months a year, so Revolution Hall posts a sign out front stating whether the rooftop bar is open or not. They also post on their website along with a cam so you can check out the view. Great alternative to the regulars like Departure and new xPort, and great to have an option on the east side.

You are coming here for the view - and the view is worth it!! This place has a fantastic overlook of Portland and when we came for a drink the sun was out and the rooftop patio setting was wonderful. The drinks are fine and served in plastic cups. I do enjoy drinks served in glass better, I think it compliments the overall experience and flavor. The vibe is casual, and we did not try the food. When looking at what food was being served, it seemed to be basic bar food - nothing exceptional. I got a glass of chilled Chardonnay, it was pretty good and refreshing for a hot summer afternoon. I will mention that the staff was not particularly friendly compared to the other restaurants and cafes we went into within the city of Portland. This did make the overall experience a little less nice - our waiter just seemed like he really did not want to be there. I would not come to this place for the food, drinks, or staff. I would absolutely come here to experience the rooftop patio setting and get some photos with the epic view of Portland as your backdrop. Come here for a pre-dinner drink and photo session, then head to another restaurant for your main meal.

Awesome bar- love the location. I mean, who doesn't want to drink in school?! Very covid conscience with great drinks. Wish it was open later (might be covid hours?) Want food, order from downstairs and bring up to the kiosk roofto

Really great for summer the view is perfect. Can see downtown from rooftop and has such as nice breeze. Drink prices are fair not too expensive and food was okay for a bar.

This place was a little hard to find, so let me break it down for y'all. Go into the building and in the halls there will be an elevator to take you to the rooftop. We were confused because we couldnt figure out where to enter or if we were even at the right place because there weren't clear signs, but just enter whereever and find the hallway + elevator. This place is incredibly small. I knew it would be small, but it's even smaller than what I had mentally prepared for. From the second you exit the elevator, heck even the second you step into the elevator, it's a game of sardines the entire time. From elevator to bar, from bar to standing somewhere, it's just a game of wiggling in between people and politely pushing because you can't help it since you literally can't move. Still an awesome view and probably more worth it if you're able to come early to grab a table and claim an area, so that you can actually chill and relax. So many people caused the noise level to be so loud that we couldn't talk even being next to each other so after we finished one drink, we left to another bar.

Pretty awesome find for yelping around on a Wednesday night. There was a big name oldies band playing that night so the rooftop bar was super full. I totally forgot my sunglasses which is a definitely recommendation for a nice summer afternoon. The sun was glaring so not really photo op time. If we had gotten a seat or area to put our food down we probably would have ordered food. They have a small menu but that doesn't seem to bother people. I loved the outside setting even if it was busy. Their Currie Cocktail was so refreshing and delicious. I think I turned my ipa loving bf into following me down this watermelon drink addiction I have this summer. But the tasty watermelon and spice of the jalepeno and fizzy drink was delicious. I would have loved to stay here for the sunset but we were off to our next stop!

I finally made it here on a warm, sunny day! It was stunning--views in every direction, comfortable breeze to counteract the sun, umbrellas for shade, and good service. Order at the same bar, chat while the bar tender makes your drink, order some food from the small menu and find a place to sit to drink in those views. We stayed long enough for three rounds and a hummus plate--it was all good, and the waitstaff was pleasant and friendly. One word of caution--the bathrooms are on the first floor, and the elevator is s-l-o-w or busy elsewhere. This is a perfect spot for out of town guests and there's plenty of parking!

Terrible management. RACIST JULIETTE. My girlfriend and I had the most disheartening, hurtful and unprofessional encounter at this establishment. Juliette, the manager, is a blatant racist and the worst manager I've ever experienced in my entire life. She told me herself that she is the reason the whole company will fall apart. And I agree. We were the only two African American women in the entire establishment and we were refused service as we sat at the bar for nearly 30 minutes. We were the ONLY people at the bar and neither the manager nor the bartender would serve us or barely speak to us. I finally asked the woman behind the bar if she could serve us and she said no because she is not a bartender. I told her we had been sitting nearly 30 minutes and she said the bartender would get to us when he could. I asked her for a manager and she said she COULD get one for me but asked me again what do I need? Again I explained that I needed to be served and she said I should stand up and get in the line forming behind me even though I had been sitting at the bar long before the people just getting In line. She never brought a manager and she eventually walk away to serve others. I had to finally walked over to the kitchen and asked for a manager only to find out that she, the same woman, was the manager the entire time. Juliette. Once I discovered that she was the manager the entire time, I confronted her asking her how she explained letting us sit there that entire time with no service or identifying herself as a manger. She told me If I could LEAVE if I wasn't happy with the service. I asked her directly if she was being racist and she literally laughed in my face. Aghast, I refused to leave and I told her that I was going to report her to the news and the community and she said "I don't believe you will" I could hardly believe my ears, the sheer horror and embarrassment of being treated so disrespectfully by an establishment for no apparent reason besides the color of our skin. It is so sad and hurtful to think we still have to fear being discriminated against in a place as beautiful and progressive as Portland. Juliette is truly a step in the wrong direction. I regret stepping foot into this restaurant and I will be looking for a civil rights attorney and a local news station to bring attention to my case.

What a spot! This is the reason I love PDX so much. When Portland is great, it's awwwe+some! Definitely recommend this place for a sunny afternoon chill vibe. This afternoon we visited we had wonderful weather. A timely arrival (5ish) guaranteed us a seat with a view. And even though it was gorgeous, I was glad I brought my sweater. The wind blows around you, giving that bit of cooling factor which is probably extremely nice on a hot day. Today was a great spring day, and I was glad to be there, relaxing. I ordered the vegetable plate. So don't go here for the food. Nothing was extraordinary, not the hummus (too much paprika sprinkled on top to try to add some flavor) nor the kale salad (perfect portion but the dressing could be improved). For drinks we enjoyed the San Pellegrino because both of us had to drive. Just go here to enjoy the view, some barfood and the drinks!

This place is sick. Like really really cool. Awesome views, affordable drinks, friendly staff. I couldn't recommend the Maritame Silk Road cocktail more. I literally want an IV of it straight into my bloodstream. It's the real deal if you like piña coladas-- and getting caught in the rain. Tbh the only reason this review isn't is cuz the food is so limited. That said, show bar is a burger joint at the bottom of the building that I may need to check out

Mediocre burgers and drinks. Bun was almost stale and took away from the juiciness of the meat and tomatoes. The coleslaw was flavorless . The beer was lukewarm. My cocktail was refreshing but despite the tarragon syrup all I tasted was lime and some cucumber and ice ... so much ice.

This was a beautiful rooftop bar with a fairly short wait to get in -- one of my favorite spots that we checked out in Portland! We went right around 6 PM as the sun was starting to go down, and the drinks were reasonably priced and very tasty. Most definitely will be back on my next visit!

Beautiful view !!!! I loved it here, we were visiting from California and this was the second place all the lyft drivers recommended us to visit! Nice people, great seating, great drinks and very clean place. It gets windy at times but they offer small blankets (first come first serve) which I thought it was so cool

Gotta love a good rooftop bar ! The bar is pretty popular during summers ,especially with people who enjoy a good view with their drinks.The tables are huge and can be shared with other patrons ,and the patios are beautifully decked with lights and small heaters.They also provide, blankets ,as it gets chilly during the evenings.The drinks take a while to get to as they dont offer table service, and you have to stand in a line to get them from the bar.Food options seem limited but there is definitely stuff to munch on while you drink.The prices for the drinks are a little steep ,but I think you are paying more for the view here than the drink.

There's nothing inherently wrong with this bar -- except for the people. It's douchebag and douchebagette central. Lots of LA types (ombre hair, tan, taking selfies every goddamn minute) (ex: the girl from Long Beach whose picture is the first one on the page for some reason). Girls who like looking vulnerable with the red Aztec blankets ("Ohmygod it's like SOO COLD. I'm a poor helpless baaaaby.) It's a fucking rooftop, of course it's going to be windy and cold at night. Cocktails were weak and unremarkable (BUT IT'S A GREAT REASON TO TAKE A SELFIE). The view was also disappointing -- a good portion is obscured by the elevator portion of the rooftop. Basically, imagine a sterile, bland bar that happens to be on a roof. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

Shhhh... don't tell anyone else about this place, else it will get too crowded! I actually heard about the rooftop bar from some out of town visitors, but was rather impressed with the place. After years passing by the used to be empty, old Washington High School, I'm impressed with what they've done! The roof top bar is a wonderful addition, giving great views of the river and bridges. Come up here during sunset and you've got yourself a date to remember. I came up during a Friday night. It was busy but not too crowded, a little chilly, but perfect for people watching. Drinks are reasonably priced ($6 draft, $9 cocktails) and you get to people watch from all different groups of people, young and old. I'm a little bummed that they're only open during "nice weather", i.e, summer, but I'll make the most of it for now!

Been to Rev Hall before for events but never knew about this gem! Such a beautiful view of Portland and a perfect summer spot to gather with friends or go on a date. The drinks could be stronger, but the view and vibes are definitely worth going back. Be aware that the bar does not serve food. In order to get food, you have to order a to-go order downstairs and then bring it back up. Since Covid, the bar is reservation only so make sure you have one prior to showing up! Also, they have been following Covid rules pretty strictly here which makes it feel very safe! Sanitizing stations are available in multiple spots, which is awesome :).

Lovely rooftop with fun cocktails and great views! We didn't get any food, but those around us did and it looked so good!

One of the best views in Portland hands down! It's a gem in the East Side. It's almost hard to rate the Rooftop Bar by itself because it is really an experience CI I g to revolution hall. There are multiple bars and a great venue. Highly recommend. Cheers!

Awesome vibes at this rooftop bar in Portland! It's on the roof of an old high school and has nice string lights and music playing. When we visited they weren't serving food on the roof deck but allowed you to order food from the restaurant below and bring it up. I wasn't a fan of the food but they did have some vegan options. 5 stars for drinks and rooftop vibes though.

What a sweet rooftop bar! Great views of the city, and I'm sure it's super pretty at night; I met a few girlfriends here and what a great time and place to catch up on a summer evening. I believe the bottom floor is a music venue too, as well as a café. Really nice building- 'Washington High School'. I got the Annares to drink and was very refreshing: cucumber and vodka and lime, yum. We also got the hummus veggie platter to snack on. Bartenders were great and the staff was awesome.

The views my friends, of the views, they go on for days. This is the cool spot to go, seriously. It is out of the main city but not by a ton. Just a short drive and you are there and where exactly is there? It looks like an old schoolhouse that has been renovated. It is a gorgeous brick building right next to an expansive dog park on a hill that overlooks the beautiful city of Portland. I wanted to try this place as soon as I got into Portland and when we finally got there on our last day, I knew I had made the right choice as there were plenty of people there on a Monday afternoon. This place is cool, I tell you what. I think they have something like 7 different bars/venues and I only saw 2 while there, the main attraction of course being the rooftop bar. Come here for some grilled sausages, some beer or a cocktail, beautiful views of both the city and its gorgeous inhabitants, and just to chill and be one of the coolest people in a city full of them. It's all good vibes up here. That should be their motto, seriously. Go here and enjoy yourself. Man, I miss it.

First of all the food was cold , meat in the hamburger was uncooked , beans cold , waitress never came to check on anyone after bringing the food we ordered. You have to literally get up and serve yourself water. On top of that you are charged a set amount for tip without being asked and you buss your own table. The views though are really nice e but the service and food are terrible. I am pretty sure that is the reason I got sick. Not coming back for sure.

This place is all about the view! Food is passable but unmemorable, but that's obviously not the draw here. 10/10 will be back, as there's a dire shortage of rooftop bars on the eastside.

It is a great location but with such a limited menu and poor service it is hard to think of this spot as anything more than average. But yea, it's a cool location.
