The Pharmacy Bar PDX

I really like this place. They have great drinks and the food is delicious. Price is about average and what you would expect in this area. Clean bar, fun board games to play as well as several pinball machines. They also host really fun events like drag bingo or pet photos with Santa. Worth checking out. Def try some of the food too.

Sublime food options, starting with their fried chicken sandwich: Juicy chicken. Soft pretzel buns. Well-fried batter that stops just short of being over fried, which makes it perfectly crispy and redolent of thyme and spice. Their staff is amazing as well, always attentive no matter how busy it is. Their old fashioned with cardamom is great as well as their Bellini. Niche horror and tokusatsu films flicker on several TVs, providing an extra bit of whimsy.

I came to Pharmacy Bar on a whim, and man, this plate of chili fries was a full-blown experience. We’re talking house-made chili, creamy cheese, fresh green onions, and a cold slap of sour cream on top. I asked for a side of spicy aioli and drizzled it on like it was sacred oil—and it took this dish over the top. This isn’t bar food… this is comfort food engineering at its finest. First photo is the beast in all its glory. Second photo is the aftermath—absolutely obliterated. Not a trace left. That should tell you everything you need to know. Downtown Portland gem. I’ll be back.

The Pharmacy is my favorite bar to visit! The staff are always friendly, and the owner is welcoming and kind to everyone. Every time I come here, I feel safe and end up meeting lots of great people. Please support this wonderful small business. This business for what they doing they deserve our support as a local business. Please support this business if you can. And mark and chrissy and everybody that work there are so sweet and nice and welcoming to everybody.

This is my favorite local bar for great drinks and service. It can get busy at times, and I understand why, it’s all around amazing. I haven’t had any menu item I didn’t like and the bartenders/service staff rock it. I recommend this place to everyone.

Been here many times with my bestie and it was always a great experience! Now they are helping people in need with meals to cook at home so dope! They are all stars as well as all the other places helping out! Appreciate y’all for real! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The food is decent on a good night. I’ve patroned the bar 6X in as many years for a late night takeout. On average the food is a solid 3 stars. Which isn’t bad for late night bar food. The staff is polite and gracious. While I haven’t sat inside, the vibe seems pretty good too. Here’s my issue. In the last week I’ve ordered twice and tipped. “Tip the kitchen staff $5 X2”. I ordered onion rings on both orders. Even though I asked if ranch/dipping sauce was included, I was told it was and it was not. My second order included 10 wings. I was told the order was complete, but there’s no ranch or sauce. This isn’t exactly a big deal. However it is disappointing. Considering that this wasn’t a mishap. This is apparently the practice for take out. I tipped $10 on a takeout order. Just give me some darn dipping sauce for my wings and rings, especially considering that I requested to receive what is stated on the menu as “included”. Lastly. If your tomato soup needs to be heavily watered because you’re out. It should be customary to ask your customers if they still want it. I don’t quite enjoy ordering food before working a 10 hour shift to not actually eat. I threw money and time away. I paid to receive a portion of food that I can’t consume. In a good faith and support of local business, I won’t give 1 star. But tonight’s experience was exactly that. I’m grouchy from hunger and angry that my next 2 hours of work I’ll be working for money I threw away for inedible food.

They gave away a bunch of food during the gap in snap benefits. The food was decent and filling. Good people work there and I hope this community continues to support them like they supported us.
