A winning selection of exotic drinks, an inky-black lounge and chic clientele.. Cocktail maven and author of "Hip Sips" Lucy Brennan opened this cavernous, brick-walled lounge to serve as a holding pen for the neighboring hotspot, Mint. The dimly lit space fills nightly with chic twenty- and thirtysomethings who toast their good fortune with cocktails from the impressively long list. A sunken back room provides seating beyond bar stools and stiff banquettes; the room also creates a more comfortable space to sip standouts like the beet-infused Ruby and the Avocado Daiquiri that put Mint on Portland's mixology scene map.

Cool but could use a little more. Very hip place with creative cocktails. Slightly stuck up atmosphere. Good food and great happy hour. Needs a little more interested and approachable atmosphere. Drinks are good but made with cheap liqours. Ask for the good stuff and you will be better off!

Disappointed. New in town. Managed a few hot spots in my time. Seated a long time, order my fav bottle of French Champ. Loong time later, hot glasses arrive-reply: "just the stems are hot!" Tastes old/flat.Laugh it off- order the clam cevich'; the blandest ever? Laugh. Order a platter. The chirizo can be bought at any 7-11. Ah, focus on the famous exotic drinks.All w/sugar. Don't want that.Ask for the bartender to make something special. She points to something. It arrives w/an inch of sugar on the rim. Reply: "Oh-it's just on the rim!" Laugh. "You silly goose, just get a margarita!?" Did she just call me that?I'm twice her age(37)-R U kidding? If I just wanted a marg-I'd gone to a cantina. Left a 20% tip-and will never be back. Lesson: Try and not judge anyone-U never know who they R.

Great drinks!. I went to 820 because a friend recently got a job there. The drinks were FANTASTIC and I will definitely be back. I had the Bella and Lucy's Sidecar (I loved both), but there were many more I would have liked to try.

I didn't have any food, but what I saw coming out of the kitchen looked very good. If you want great drinks, this is the place to go!

maybe the beautiful people are over it. went in a coupla weeks ago; both sides pretty empty; sat for 15 minutes with a glass of water waiting for someone (anyone from a staff who was merely standing around) to take my order; got tired of waiting and left; by the looks of the empty bar/restaurant the "beautiful people" got tired of waiting, too...why does "hip" often translate into total lack of hospitality?; slacking isn't very trendy.

Trendy Spot. Took a date here after dinner. It's a good place for atmosphere but the drinks could have been better. Great to go in warm weather bc there's a patio outside, the ambiance was really cool and overall I really liked it, but some of the drinks weren't spectacular and when we ordered a Greyhound I couldn't taste a drop of alcohol. The crowd was good - busy but not packed in, but the service was a little slow with the drinks. But if you're looking for ambiance, it's a good spot.
