LFK is one of my favorite spots around. It has cool vibe with a lot of interesting decor. There's a great beer selection and the menu has a lot of really great options for food. Definitely going to keep coming back!

This bar has been a staple in my life since moving to Portland. I love the eclectic vibe, from the type writers to the different seating areas to the funky art that you'll find throughout. I relate this bar to my personal style, which is probably part of why i love it here. Every time I'm there I am delighted by finding something new that I'd never noticed before. On top of all that, the drinks are great! I've heard that the food is good as well, and every time I'm there I look at the menu and lament that the kitchen has already closed. It is my new mission to come for a meal here; maybe even try their Sunday brunch!
Back to the drinks- there is always a good mix of beer and cocktail options, and some combinations of shots/beer with great names. My go to is the west end mule, which has bourbon, lime, mint and ginger beer! -

The service was not good. Out waiter was hardly attentive and not friendly at all. The food was also very below average. The atmosphere inside was neat and that's the only thing that had me giving it a 2 stars vs 1.

This review is based solely on the drinks! (Will re-review upon returning)! Ordered the west end mule and the Tommy's margarita. This place is great for drinks on any day of the week. Enjoyed our night here. Drinks are a bit pricey ~$10 for just average drinks

LFK isn't one of those restaurants with a clear aesthetic...however, it kind of works in their favor. Being in a prime location on the West End of Portland, LFK has large open windows and a fairly large venue to seat and host a decent amount of people.
On a recent trip to LFK, a group of friends and I walked in and were not greeted by any staff members. So we went to the bar and asked if we could grab a spot to eat. The bartenders casually stated that we could sit anywhere, which totally reflected the chill, hipster vibe that LFK exudes.
We seated ourselves down at the end of a table and we were quickly greeted by our waiter, who has incredibly nice and answered all of our questions. We ordered our drinks, and then placed some orders for food.
LKF's menu was also quirky, but fun. They have a wide variety of appetizers, pizza, burgers, and sandwiches. I ended up ordering the "Chick Be a Lady" pizza, which had chicken, scallions, and a spicy sauce on it. The pizza was large and could easily be shared by two people, and my counterpart and I ordered fries to go along with our meals. The fries were crispy and thin!
Overall, I appreciate all that LFK has to offer. When I think about dining in the Portland area, will it be the first restaurant that comes to mind? No, however, I would come here on a casual night for some drinks and late-night eats!
