Editorial Review for Moloko Plus – by Annamaria Pardini
In Short
The long, narrow space is mostly white, featuring a curving concrete bar, faux fur-covered chairs and leather sofas. There's a rotating exhibit of modern art on some walls, while plastic bubbles filled with live fish bulge out of others. The bar attracts a young, stylish crowd enjoying fresh juice cocktails, imported beer and lively conversation over a soundtrack of upbeat pop, soul and funk. Creative salads and sandwiches are available all hours.

I had a great time the first time I was there. So much that I'm going back tonight. It's clean and hip. The music is eclectic without being lame. The waitstaff is attentive but not attention seeking. DJ's seem to show up randomly and mix well. Real Turntables! Imagine that! I bought the half-japanese for my friend...it was her birthday and she's pretty much there. She liked it. Definitely a great cocktail selection. Alternative and cathartic...although I hate people who over-use the whole catharsis racket. Smoking portch is awesome...for our nicotene addicted friends, you can't go wrong. Timed space heaters, multitudes of comfy outdoor chairs, good and diverse people. A few alcoves for smokin 1:1 action. It's the quintesential Portland Happy Hour spot. The bathroom had a unique smell...hence the four. But you can't let a little -1 star drag your night down. I take no responsibility for poor spelling and will not hesitate to re-chastise anyone who would detract from this review for such a reason.
Pros: Nice Cocktail Selection, Great Smoking Portch, Clean Feeling
Cons: Smelly Bathroom Covered in Graffiti

I really like this place more than i expected I would. I live and work in the neighborhood, and usually avoid the newer, fancy-pants looking joints... but all the people who work there are really nice and the vibe just isn't what you might guess. They have turntables set up and all the bartenders listen to really good music. You never really know what you are gonna get, but it's always good. During the day it is really chill and not busy, so the bartenders always have a minute to talk. I've made a habit of stopping by here on my way home from work. You can get such good drinks for so little money, and the food is really good quality. I guess I'd sum it up by saying that this place might not be for everybody, but I've been needing a place like this since I moved here three years ago.
