What People Are Saying About Gold Dust Meridian
The Editor
Ashley Gartland
Citysearch
In Short – This CPA office turned bar exudes a broody vibe with dim lighting, teak ceilings, and black banquets lining a brick wall. A pool table and live music offer entertainment but you won't find TVs or video poker here; this bar is above all a hangout that invites conversation. Classic cocktails headline the menu and are complemented by shareable appetizers like prawns wrapped in savory pepper bacon and entrees of coconut-crusted salmon sided with veggies, jasmine rice and sweet chili citrus sauce.

Great menu
by pdxgirly
Great drinks, really great food, very reasonable prices! The decor was pretty awesome and vintage. The service was kind of rude. Its a small place, so I'd try to go when its slow if you really wanna soak it up. I went on a Thursday night and it was still pretty busy. The music was way too loud. I was most impressed by the menu. We tried a few things and they were delicious. Brie and proscuitto panini was yummy. Zucchini fritters were great. Bar olives with spiced nuts were killer. Try it.
- Pros: Unexpected awesome food
- Cons: Hawthorne hipster scene

Love the Gold Dust!
by dangrmous
Great food and a very nice atmosphere. Some of the best mac-n-cheese in Portland. Excellent clams. One of my favorite places to drink on a nice hot summer afternoon. Cool people working there. We had a birthday party there and they set it up and catered it, and did a really magnificent job. We will for sure be back!
- Pros: Drinks, Food, Ambience, Patio
- Cons: None
