Fun atmosphere, a notch above!

by Clashton

I went to the grand re-opening of the Space Room Lounge and had a blast (No pun intended)! The new decorations are sensational and the food was delicious! The server was exceptionally attentive for how packed it was that night. A+ I'll be going back for sure!

• Pros: Great food, good drinks, fun atmosphere.

Check out the the design

by TreyHarper

I went to the grand re-opening last weekend to check out the new place and was impressed. The new decor is definitely spacey. Had a great time!

• Pros: cheap drinks, sweet alien decorations, and big screen tvs

End here, don't start here

by kimmer383

Old, smokey bar with ok service. Out of Guiness when we went (seriously?). Not many people there when we arrived, but the service was still on the slow side. Cheap drinks. A place to go after the more fun bars if you want to continue to get wasted.

• Pros: Trippy lights and wallpaper, cheap drinks
• Cons: Smokey, poorly maintained, slow service

Good place to get WAISTED!

by juicy82

If you want a stiff drink and a wicked long island iced tea, go to the space room. Just make sure to catch a cab home if you plan on staying for a while!

• Pros: stiff drinks
• Cons: non smokers will find it smokey

If only there were fewer Hipsters

by pdxmodchick

Bars like this are the reason I left Portland. So many stuck-up wannabe hipsters. This place is full of them. But if you want to get a cheap buzz, then visit them during happy hour and then leave and walk across the street to BOG to grab a tasty bite to eat.

• Pros: Cheap Stiff Drinks
• Cons: Hipsters

Step forward--or backward--in time to a wacky, retro bar with a sci-fi theme.

by Contributor

In Short
It's like walking into anepisode of "The Jetsons" or "Star Trek," with decor from 1950s visions of the Space Age. Lucky for Portlanders, it was never updated. A host of silly space scenes smother the walls, and even the light fixtures are dressed up as flying saucers. It's a timeless classic of kitsch and an eternal favorite of hipsters. Regulars ranging from 20- to 30-somethings get looped on rocket fuel-like cocktails: The bloody marys and AMFs are legendary.

Too smokey but GOOD late night sandwiches...

by annouc

Pretty smokey, which bothers me. But their sandwiches are very good in the later hours! (Ive ordered the Roast beef several times...)

• Pros: Good Sandwiches, very different atmosphere
• Cons: a lot of cigarette smoke

It used to be a lot better than it is now

by jbellepdx

I think the owners finally realized it was a hipster bar and then they tried to MAKE it a hipster bar. The old waitstaff was cool, very good with customers but this new crew ain't so hot. It's infuriating to wait for a drink... and wait and wait... The old sign outside is gone, and the new one is really tacky. Too bad. Still, they do pour a good drink and the lights are still low and it's still a good addition to the neighborhood!!!

• Pros: strong drinks
• Cons: waitstaff

GET OVER YOURSELF

by capnjeansguy

New to the PDX area, this place came highly recommended by several coworkers, as well as several friends. Went there on a random Wed. While the atmosphere, the crowd, and the music were excellent. The bartenders were excellent on the pours and the drinks were my two favorite things Cheap, stiff. HOWEVER, the service SUCKED. I understand layed back, but 10 min with no greet from the server, with heavy sighing and reluctant steps. The bartenders are not that pretty, so they should have a better attitude to make money. No wonder they would complain about their tips. GET OVER YOURSELF AND MAKE MONEY.

• Pros: atmosphere, crowd, drinks
• Cons: service, service, service

It was ok..since I was smashed..

by quik213

So 1 of my friends turned 21 so after drinking at a friends house we ended up here...It was a Saturday and it was crowded as hell. Which some people might find a good or bad thing...I ordered a beautiful for my friend so I could get him smashed but turns out that they ran out of Hennessey....How tha heck does that happen? So I ordered 2 Long Islands and they were pretty big and made just right...

• Pros: Nice sized Drinks
• Cons: Ran Out Of Hen, Over Crowded
