The Shaku Bar — Restaurant in Portland

Now this one is going to be just a little bit Rose colored because I him real cool with the guys sit on the place and plan to be doing some business with them as well as calling them truly friends. Those guys respectfully impatiently waited 2 years for me to deal with some personal things with me and my family and my relocation to still welcome me back every time with smiles and open arms and coming up here soon you will be seeing some things that I will be collaborating with them on and I'm sure that you guys are going to love!!! This is going to be the first of many many Summers to remember!!! (Stay tuned) But the drinks are awesome, the food is delightful and delicious. The atmosphere is chill, intimate and just the right amount of bright at the same time. The outside area is covered with quite stylishly designed covered patio space. It's something that has to be seen to be appreciated so here's your excuse to pick your head in,, I guarantee you want to stay and we know you'll be coming back. Come by and say hi to the to the guys, and by the way.. I'm the other "Mark". Please come through and check the guys out, you won't be disappointed... that's how I met them and I haven't...

The best bar we’ve been to in Oregon. Their service stood out the most to us. Service often is a make or break and can ruin a customers experience but they nailed every single aspect. Very attentive, knowledgable, and quick service. This place genuinely puts their heart into their food and drink flavors. They damn well know how to make a great burger and definitely can make any drink your heart desires. Some of our “regular” go to drinks they didn’t have but the best part is, they know how to care towards your needs did not say “no we don’t have that” and always came back with either something better or just as good for your liking. Atmosphere is uplifting and vibes are great because a lot of their customers you can tell looooove being regulars and it shows and we can definitely see why. We tried their “Shaku Burger”, wings, garlic friend edamame, and furikake fries! Must try if you’re ever visiting or live in Oregon. It was so good we went twice in one trip just because we enjoy it...

One of the most underrated bars in the city! I recommend it to everyone and I just wish more people would take my word for it. Everything about it, the service, drinks and food, is above and beyond every single time. The bartenders are soooo nice and friendly and always willing and excited to make you something off-menu (even though every cocktail on the menu is fun, unique and dialed in already!) My favorite is the Worf (spicy tamarind margarita), if you like spicy, it doesn’t hold back! The tempura kimchi is incredible. Can’t miss the edamame with whatever spiced stuff they put on it. The bowls with pickled veggies and pork katsu or crispy tofu. I’m telling you. With so many choices in Portland, I usually prefer to stay home because it’s so often I’m disappointed with mediocre and less-than-exciting food and beverage experiences or I feel paying for a “cool vibe” and then that’s about it. Then I found Shaku Bar—finally somewhere I’m happy to...
