Shift Drinks - Portland

This place is a huge space with high ceilings. It also has a great all day happy hour. I had a cold brew cocktail and my friend had a smoky bourbon cocktail and both were well balanced.

Shift is one of my favorite late night spots. They have great inexpensive eats and their drinks are pretty good, but not great. For the set up, I thought their drinks would be amazing. But I have yet to have a cocktail that is as great as some of their competitors. They 've recently added an all-hours happy hour menu. The drinks on there are solid for the price. Had the 'Not Your Mom 's Grilled Cheese '. The bread was not great and I was not a fan, even for $5. Overall, I love all the food on their regular menu and you get a fair drink for the price. The atmosphere is nice. A little loud at times, but welcoming.

One of my go-to places when I want a delicious, fast, and reasonably priced meal with a cocktail! They serve one of my all-time fave cheese plates in the entire city. Simple and 6 bucks! I adore Manchego, and you find that here paired with thinly sliced apple and house savoury spiced nuts. Their sandwiches are paninis done perfectly. They also offer a Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup, with the option of Caramelized Onions that makes the sandwich extra delightful! I almost always order the crispy Potatoes with Remoulade, I dont think I'll ever get tired of them. Cocktails are always wonderful. Service is always exceptional. The space can get a bit loud when it's full, so don't go here for quiet convo, but come here for everything else!

I am a jetBlue Crew Member and I travel all over the country searching for 'first times ' This place was highly rated so I thought I would give it a go, as they were known for an Olive Oil Cake ' desert. My bar keep Ben was a perfect mix of gentleman and and friend, with Isaiah the Head Chef a close second. Wonderful drinks, delicious food, and yes...that cake was absolutely one of the best ever I have tasted. Make this a stop when visiting Portland. They do it right, and treat you better.

This spot is great. The cocktails and food are top notch. The monthly spirit deal is out of this world, featuring premium spirits at ridiculously low prices. Plus, $3 craft shift beer and happy hour all the time. Definitely worth checking out.
