Went to Portland Variety on a Thursday night with a friend. Great atmosphere, would be a great place to go on a date or out with friends. Personally speaking, no place is better than sitting at the bar- which is where we sat. We enjoyed a light dinner, 3 small plates split between the 2 of us, I would highly recommend the warm mushroom & arugula salad and shrimp pil pil. My favorite cocktails were the Wood Still Sour & Kentucky Trail!
