Dirty Pretty - Portland, Oregon

Victoria

Such a cool bar! It had a nice ambiance and the cocktails were so unique. Our bartender was very friendly and was happy to tell me about areas in Portland when I told him my husband and I would be moving to Portland. I can't remember the names of our cocktails but they were very good! Mine had a pho wash which I was skeptical about when I ordered it but it was incredible. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing time at Dirty Pretty. They serve very creative and refreshing cocktails. The food is super tasty and pairs well with a night out. I really enjoyed my interactions with the staff and I can tell that everyone there was truly passionate about their craft. Also the PATIO!! So cute and perfect for summer, I’m excited to come back for their movie events as well. Can’t say enough good things!!

I was excited to try Dirty Pretty, but left unimpressed. A friend and I came on a Friday evening to have dinner and cocktails.

DRINKS: We tried the Only Fans drink, and while it was beautifully presented, hers was sweet and mine was sour, so there's inconsistency in the mixing. I next tried a house Marg, and have to say it was one of the worst margaritas I've ever had. I abandoned mixed drinks from there -- had no faith.

FOOD: The nachos were "fine", but my friend ordered the pork and was surprised to find that the meat was huge chunks of pork belly, not carnitas. The fried chicken sandwich was only so-so. The churros were good, but I would not come just for those. N

SERVICE: Initially our waiter was attentive, but after shift change (likely 8pm?) our new waitress checked on us once and then forgot about us entirely. About an hour sitting with an empty glass, I went in to the bar to ask about ordering more drinks, and she was sent back to the table to check on us, but that was again the last time we saw her for another 45 minutes. Finally, though we had originally asked to split the bill, my bill came with my Only Fans drink and chicken sandwich; her bill came with the remaining 75% of what we ordered on her tab, so we had to settle separately between us.

AMBIANCE: it is very cute and nicely designed, but the patio could definitely be more comfortable. The chair I sat on was missing a slat, and there was a jagged metal piece on the chair that nearly ripped my pants (and could hurt bare skin). The booths are cute but just too deep to be comfortable, unless you want to lie down inside of one or sit all the way inside and disappear.

Ultimately I was disappointed in our experience here, and we won't be back.

Been by twice since they opened! The cocktails are exceptional and interesting, between myself and friends we’ve made it through 90% of the menu and haven’t found a single drink we wouldn’t order again.

The Vibe Check is so good and interesting, it’s a nearly savory cocktail that will really confuse your taste buds (in a great way). Also love the Down Bad and the Guava Wars.

Snacks are bangers, get the Dirty Edamame.

Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and proud of what they’re serving up.

We are outside on the very cute patio. We tried both the mock tails and a couple cocktails and both were really refreshing and balanced.
We also tried the rabbit spring rolls which were absolutely incredible!

I have a lot of good things to say about this place—
•slushees were amazing!!! The Fossil Fuel was not only really refreshing and had an amazing texture, but it came with a cute little dinosaur that I ended up wearing on my arm the rest of the night
(Only able to get them until late hours, came back later because they were so good but machine was off for the night)
•Other drinks were very inventive, fresh, but still pretty strong (Dirty Pretty, ya know)
• downside, in my eyes, was the huge waste of garnish on top of the drinks, especially the mint ?
•Food was perfect portions and matched the vibe really well. Noodles were my personal favorite
•THE MUSIC!!!!!! I was vibing so hard to the jams they had going. That made this place a 100/10 to me
•nice outdoor/ patio area, but can get pretty dark and chilly into the later hours and gets PACKED easily during the day

The only thing that did not meet expectations was the service. It was our first time so the server told us to sit ourselves outside, then left us to our own devices for several minutes and we had no idea if we just went up to the bar and ordered or what the deal was. Think maybe they were just shorthanded, but still could’ve easily ruined the vibe especially since I was Hangry lol
Dope spot!!!! And a lot of other great bars and food places around! A win is a win is a win

Super fun bar. Interesting cocktails, creative food and slightly aloft servers. The vibe was relaxed but edgy. Not sure who the mixologist was but she created some amazing concoctions

Completely disappointed in my experience. I love to explore Portland based on IG recommendations. This has been the worst experience of my adventures. The staff were rude and completely unpleasant. Absolutely no customer service skills. We had the Ode to Caesar salad and it was so bland and some of the lettuce was browning. My favorite part was the crunchy tortilla strips.
