Spare Room Restaurant & Lounge

The Spare Room is definitely a fun place to go. Sometimes they have live bands and other times they have DJ's playing good music and having great energy 🥳🥳🥳 they also do karaoke. The drinks are really good and the staff are amazing!!! They have pool tables and shuffleboard. And of course slot machines. They have a good menu of food and keep the party jumpin! We will definitely be going back and recommending to others 🥳🥳🥳

Came here for lunch. Love the dimmed lighting and nostalgic bar vibes. The place is very spacious and seats are comfortable. Staff is a friendly bunch and are happy to make sure you feel welcome. I sat and was helped quickly, got my order filled and then got my food - Mushroom swiss burger - in record time! Food was great and I'll be coming back again. The place is kept somewhat cool so you might want to bring another layer if you get a bit chilly!

This Place Is Very Nice, Very Clean and Very Big Inside. I Was Not There Very Long So I Don't Know How The Food Is But Looked Like a Fun Place.

Consumate dive bar, but in a good way. Great place to play pool for the first time, and the live band karaoke was a blast to hear in the other room! I like that the pool tables are away from the main floor so that there's plenty of space.

Cheap drinks (Jim Beam and Coke - $3 - All Day/Every Day), food (ample menu and specials), and music (live/DJ/karaoke/free/cover) ... what more could you ask for! Around the corner from my new temporary digs, I stopped by on Thursday night for a couple drinks and free, live music, unfortunately country on this night, but beggars can't be choosers. The bartender/hostess/server was very nice, well dressed, attractive and, most important, friendly. She also pours a strong drink ... HOOAH! I did not stay long because I can only handle country in short bursts, but will return soon for one of their dinner specials (surf and turf, prime rib, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, etc.) and, hopefully, some rock and roll, jazz, or blues. The place is big and dark with an old fashioned feel, not extravagant and not seedy, just right. Two bars and dance floors in two adjoining big rooms with other spaces which I did not have a chance to explore. They also have gambling-type machines at the bar although I neither know Oregon's gambling laws nor if these machines are for used betting. Most people seemed to know each other, but other than the bartender/server, nobody said a word to me or even looked like they wanted to although hugs abounded and conversations surrounded me. Not the welcome I would have liked, but as the new kid on the block, I expected little else. CombatCritic Gives Spare Room Restaurant and Lounge An Initial 7 Bombs Out Of 10 With Room To Grow ...

Cowboy was truly amazing beautiful person. He made sure everything was perfect for our event. Food was reasonable and delicious! Thank you for great service.

The Spare Room is a wacky and wonderful Portland gem. With karaoke, live music, and dancing, the place will intrigue all types of humans to step through their front door. The lead bartender/manager waited on our large party and juggled everything (her staff and our party) flawlessly. The ambiance is quirky. Used to be an old bowling alley, hence the name. Booth and table seating, dim, flashy colored lights. A stage and dance floor. Pool tables. TVs and gambling machines. I didn’t eat the food, but my friends seemed to enjoy their breakfast all day (pancakes and bacon with a side of tater tots).

This place is huge! I went during the day but would love to see it at night. There was a DJ booth so I’ll assuming it’s fun! I arrived about 9:45 am and was told all food was available even dinner items. The menu is extensive! Mashed potatoes, tuna sandwich, burgers, salads etc. It’s good place for lotto too. Minors are welcome in the early hours. I like that the restaurant area isn’t completely closed off to the bar area, makes for a fun environment.
