The Shaku Bar

This is my favorite bar in Portland. The food, service, and people have lured me into being a regular. The owners are incredibly nice and fun yo talk to. The burgers are fantastic, and the rice bowl has been a favorite of mine. There's a wide selection of cocktails, and usually an alcoholic slushie.

The best bar we’ve been to in Oregon. Their service stood out the most to us. Service often is a make or break and can ruin a customers experience but they nailed every single aspect. Very attentive, knowledgable, and quick service. This place genuinely puts their heart into their food and drink flavors. They damn well know how to make a great burger and definitely can make any drink your heart desires. Some of our “regular” go to drinks they didn’t have but the best part is, they know how to care towards your needs did not say “no we don’t have that” and always came back with either something better or just as good for your liking. Atmosphere is uplifting and vibes are great because a lot of their customers you can tell looooove being regulars and it shows and we can definitely see why. We tried their “Shaku Burger”, wings, garlic friend edamame, and furikake fries! Must try if you’re ever visiting or live in Oregon. It was so good we went twice in one trip just because we enjoy it so dang much!!

Our favorite spot. By far the best hamburgers in town. You will never go back to onion rings once you try the tempura kimchi. Great people, good drinking spot. Only negative is indoor acoustics - can get pretty loud.

Wow. What an amazing new Portland bar! The staff were so friendly and fun. Great beer choices and they helped us pick a new beer which was awesome. Nice environment and customers. But the FOOD stole the show from an already impressive locale. We had the Edamame- the seasoning on it was great. We also ordered the chicken bites - so delicious!!! For main dishes we ordered the Eggplant Sando and the double burger. 🤤 The bar shares a space with the Petite Provence courtyard for outdoor seating so that’s incredible. It rained like hell but we were protected by the tent canopies. 10/10 would recommend coming and we will be back a lot. Really excellent food and great atmosphere. Feels like a modern old Portland.

Just checked this place out for the first time and am so mad that it took me so long. Outstanding cocktails and burgers. The place feels like old school Portland. Not weird for weirdness sake. It's not a dive, but not so fancy that it doesn't feel relaxing and casual. They have a nerdy/sci-fi theme, but mostly in the cocktail names. You definitely won't feel out of place if you're not into sci-fi or D&D. The service was exceptional. Both bartenders were great about cocktail recommendations and were genuinely interested in making sure we liked the food and drinks, but not in a hovering awkward way. This place checks so many boxes. Pricing was super reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. The Shaku burger is ridiculously good.

Favorite bar! Shaku bar has the best bartenders, chef and burgers in town! Incredible patio that can be used year round as well

One of my favorite bars! The food and service is awesome. Try the smash burger and fried kimchi. If you’re looking for a low alcoholic drink, try their seltzers (specifically a milky melon, tastes just like a melon soda). Overall, a great place to get a drink, a bite to eat, and meetup with friends. Mark, Trent, and Matt are the best. :)

Absolutely amazing bar! The food is fantastic and the cocktails are fun and inventive. The events calendar is also amazing. They have trivia, dj nights, and casual hangs. The atmosphere changes depending on the day so there is always something for everyone. The owners are always there and are easy to get along with. Hands down, you gotta go. It’s totally worth it. Make it a regular spot for you and your friends. Great for nerds and music fans alike.
