Advice Booth

Advice Booth is everything you want in a neighborhood bar .. heart, personality, and intention. Laura, the owner (and former bartender), is the kind of person who makes you feel seen the second you walk in. You can tell she genuinely cares about her staff and her community … everyone’s treated well here, and it shows. The space has this perfect balance: too much taste and warmth to be called a dive, but just enough grit and comfort to make it real. The walls are covered in art, there are board games, a Photo Booth, a laid-back patio with picnic tables … it’s all designed for people to actually connect. And because she doesn’t have a kitchen? She went old-school and got a hot-dog warmer. Laura’s “glizzies” are legendary …pure hospitality on a bun. Advice Booth isn’t just a bar. It’s a third space … the kind of place that reminds you how good community can feel when someone truly gives a damn.

Checked out Trivia night (Tuesday's) and had a fun time! I would recommend it to a friend and hope to go again.

Great staff!

This bar is wonderful. Every time I’ve gone in the bartender has always been kind and welcoming. I think the atmosphere looks awesome too!

It was my first time at the Advice Booth. It was awesome. Great customer service and atmosphere. I look forward to going back!

Great local bar, fantastic bar staff, one of the gems of Portland

This place is so cool. Bartenders are always nice, crowd is diverse and chill. Dog friendly too. Food is just basic bar food but made well. Karaoke on Thursdays. Also they have a ‘draw me like one of your French girls’ style Burt Reynolds painting! I could post a picture, but you really need to see it for yourself.
