Rosalyn DelgadoNovember 10, 2014If wait at pok pok is too long, pop over to whiskey soda lounge..stare in awe at the selection of whiskey then order the fish sauce wings, achieve food nirvana and stay for the drinking vinegars.
Katie BronskiMarch 29, 2014One of my favorite bars in Portland! Have to try the heat ray drink, Delicious. And of course the drinking vinegars Love the ambiance of this place and you can order fish sauce wings without the wait!
Shaunt BerberianJanuary 24, 2018I tried the fish sauce wings even though I was a little hesitant, and I’ve been dreaming about those delicious things ever since! ...Possibly the best I’ve ever had.
Andrew CJuly 14, 2016The famous wings without the wait at Pok Pok. But try some other stuff on the menu too. Be adventurous!
Tone MosleyJuly 12, 2016Nice selection of whiskey & drinks. Love the deal they have set up with Pok Pok. If you don't want to wait 2 hours to eat simply eat here.
O KSeptember 11, 2012Feeling like pre-Pok Pok snackies but don't want to fill up while you wait? The house roasted peanuts and the Miang Kham (betel leaf wraps) go perfect with your cocktail or two.
Jason ShellhammerOctober 6, 2018This place is sort of a staging area for Pok Pok. Interesting beers, complex drinks, and intrigue in cocktails. Busy, hip, and a bit on the higher end for drinks.- allisonJuly 3, 2013If you've got a long wait for a table at Pok Pok, go across the street and enjoy a drink at Whiskey Soda Lounge. Your waitperson will tell you when your table at Pok Pok is ready.
Brook ShelleyJune 29, 2015Tasty cocktails and a good selection of Pok Pok treats, including the wings. I loved the pig's ear especially.
JaredMarch 2, 2016Just stopped in for drinks. Great service and fantastic drink options. The Gin and tonic was a very good choice.
Arbi BiSeptember 30, 2013Best, weirdest wings ever. They say they're chicken but they're the size of baby pterodactyl wings. Sweet & salty, crispy & tender. LOVE 'EM.- XDecember 25, 2012Full marks for single stall gender neutral restrooms. :) Also the Wi-Fi is still rock solid, after almost a year away. Wifi password: jackdaniels
Stuart CoatesOctober 6, 2014You haven't lived until you try a drinking vinegar. Thai basil is excellent, just remember to stir often.
Robin LeungAugust 11, 2014PokPok too full? This is their sister restaurant. Not the full menu, but they do have a few favourites items here. If not, grab a drink while you wait.
Heather MaderSeptember 16, 2016Drinking vinegars.... I crave. Of course the chicken wings are Pok Pok recipe so u can't miss those.
Wesley HodgsonSeptember 13, 2013The drinking vinegars are definitely worth trying. Also lots of great whiskey-based cocktails, naturally.
- Andrew CApril 16, 2016Pok Pok busy? You're probably here for a cocktail. You can eat here too if you want to skip out on that Pok Pok wait.
- XFebruary 4, 2012Huge ("real") pints of beer, so get them! Also, there's free Wi-Fi here accessible using the password: jackdaniels
LisaMay 26, 2014Can get the famous PokPok's chicken wings here too!! Have to remember it next time I come to PDX.
Scots ChrisJanuary 21, 2014Take your Pok Pok waiting list number here and have a drink at the bar with the friendly accommodating staff.
Robby MarshallApril 19, 2013You can now get Pok Pok in New York. But Whiskey Soda Lounge is still Portland only :)
Ed DonahueFebruary 9, 2013Bring salted peanuts, same thing as the red peanuts. Drinking vinegar is really good.
Cassie StewartAugust 24, 2013The wings are insanely good. Even if you don't like wings...you will love these.
Derek JohnsonFebruary 25, 2012The red peanuts are just peanuts with heat. Don't let the description fool you
Tasting vinegars are awesome. Do us the deviation
Willamette WeekAugust 23, 2011From WWeek's Cheap Eats 2011: Try the huu muu thawt. We think it's an amazing thing to put in your mouth for $7 or less.
Danielle CAugust 16, 2014Keep walking. The staff is rude and refused to serve us for no reason. My friends and I each had two drinks with our dinner and went there for a nightcap. Never again. Go next door to Richmond.
