Rose City Book Pub - Portland

Absolutely amazing establishment, great food, people, and atmosphere. I come here every time I'm in Oregon.

10/10 would come back. It's so cozy and warm. The food is heartwarming and the drinks are delicious. I ended up getting a pear and gin tonic ? and a turkey melt with tomato soup. I normally don't like pears or tomatoes but thoroughly enjoyed them here. They also had a piano and a lovely pianist hopped on and played various songs from Billy Joel and the Beatles.

We go for the Paradise Lost readings, last Saturday of the month

Food is ONLY a four because I've only ever heard of their food, I personally haven't tried it yet, but all my friends say they have the best mustard around. But the drinks are bomb diggity! Mocktails for sober folx like myself, fancy ipas, amazing tea and some pretty solid coffee. The area is cozy but not cramped, and the back patio is always beautiful but also always feel sort of empty so there's still a spot to get a breather if you need it or a smoke break. And the events they host are amazing and super fun and welcoming.

There was a music event that took place that was advertised FOR ALL AGES that started at 9pm. One of the owners was DRUNK and started yelling at my younger brother and his friend to leave because they were underage although the event was held FOR ALL AGES. They were a part of the event and had THEIR OWN equipment up on stage that was required for the entire event to run smoothly and yet she kicked them out while acting BELLIGERENT and threatening to make my brother and his friend PAY HER FINE for her if she got a fine because she was threatening to call the police. There were more people underage at the event yet she only targeted my brother and his friend. I honestly really liked this place and it makes me SUPER disappointed that the owner was harassing people that are there to perform at an event, while she’s drunk during work hours. HIGHLY unprofessional!!
