    Order great food and drinks at the bar. Then sit and enjoy the quality cuts of the sound system. Mason drinks are the best value and taste, but don't knock their whiskey selection either!

    Fun cocktail drinks in mason jars! Fondue fries are addicting. 😍 Chill ambience and good DJ.

    If you like spicy drinks: Bitchy Parrot. One bartender said, "The people that drink these don't drink anything else." Wise/observant words. They're delicious!!

    Bitchy Parrot in a Mason if you love spicy cocktails. On top of the avarian deliciousness in a jar, they play killer music and offer a rowdy fondle fry for happy hour (served until 8!)

    Mason jar drinks, I usually opt for the seasonal, and Brussels sprouts are delicious!

    Curiously red & black decor. Live DJ (of course, it's Portland) and free Wi-Fi. Great spot for after-movie drinks. Use the wifi password: swiftlounge

    Always go for one of the mason jars, for only 8 bucks, you can't beat it. Trivia nights are fun and who doesn't like a bird themed restaurant?

    The mason jars are deceptively delicious. Pace yourself and enjoy the creative flavors.

    The happy hour is awesome but the lack of table service makes for a long line at the bar...

    A fine place to drink but more hipster douches than the feminine hygiene aisle at rite aid. Hopefully they find a new place...soon.

    Mason jars and house made infusions make this place a go-to. Don't be a sissy, get the 32oz-er

    The mason jar drinks are delicious, but not very strong. Try the Stoned Finch -- perfect summer sipper!

    Great drinks (Kentucky Blackbird Mason Jar... do it). Good atmosphere. And usually a few people dancing to a pretty good DJ.

    The food is delish! But the music during hangover brunch was so loud that had I actually had a hangover, I would have shot the speakers out. Service is slow, but friendly servers.

    The food is simply amazing here. I love the chicken with crispy skin, with mashed taters and brussel sprouts. Amazing!

    If you're going to take a shit in the bathroom here, do it in the back bathroom, its got a window. If you shit in the other bathroom, you'll just stink up the bar.
