Rontoms Reviews

The best. An amazing happy hour. Great food, beer, and cocktails. Crazy architecture and furniture. An amazing atmosphere. And plus ping pong outside to top it off. A must go to in Portland.

Offers a nice outdoor seating area with plenty of space.

This is my go to place for lunch/dinner in Portland. The food is always on point, the drinks are killer but the best part is the price isn't outrageous!

I love the decor of this place, along with the back patio! They also have some surprisingly fun performances here. Cocktails and food are a little hit and miss, but it's a reliable spot for a chill drink.

Great food and cocktails. Really cool atmosphere. Good place for a group of friends to socialize.

Great, large patio that is dog friendly and heated. Awesome happy hour specials on food and drinks. They have Wi-Fi and outlets on the patio.

Cool little joint. Especially in the summertime. The back patio is well done with the plants and lighting. Definitley a spot to drink. Not a spot to eat.

Lots of great heaters on the tables. Very nice patio. The best mulled wine we ve ever had.

I like this place. The place is nice, food is ok, beer is great! Can carry dog in the open area. It's comfortable even in winter time or rainy day because it has big ceiling and nice heating system.

This is one of the coolest bars in Portland. The drinks are awesome, the service is fast, the patio is beautiful and there are free shows on Sunday. What more can you ask for?

It"s popular with young people and it is well located and easy to find

One of the best patios in town. The inside is weird and clubby (though I appreciate the vintage furniture) but the patio is huge and you can usually find a spot.

Incredible patio for live music. Great sound quality.

It was so dark I had to use my phone to read the menu

Great spot with outdoor seating, ping pong, and terrific ambiance.

Food was amazeing service was horrable the waitress was to hard to find when she did show up she ingored most of the table

Their food is the crowning achievement. Other than amazing live shows, a very friendly staff, and quick service!

First and foremost it's one of the coolest, biggest bar spaces I've been to in portland. The enormous back patio, part of which is covered and houses a few ping-pong tables along with seating, and part uncovered with bamboo-esque plants/foliage all around. The interior is a substantial space in it's own right and as long as there's some people to fill it, it has a really fun ambiance. The drinks are solid, reasonably priced and creative and the couple bits of food I've had were fine if not spectacular. But really, it's all about the physical spaces here and they are awesome, so the bar is awesome.

Great food, beer, and venue extremely slow service. If you're willing to wait it is worth it. The toilet seat was taken off and on the ground which was a little strange.

Free music from great local bands. Good drinks and really good food!

Nice atmosphere. It can get a bit crowded, but it's a great place to spend sometime hanging out with friends.

The food is excellent. Lots of choices. The cheese fondue is a must. The drink menu is also great, though it can be a bit of a wait to get orders back to the table.

There is limited seats inside, but outside has an entire seating area that's almost roomier than the inside. It's covered so no worries on the rain.

The one main con besides the wait time is the fact that it has one bathroom. One. For woman and men. That's a bit ridiculous for how many people frequent here.

Really cool atmosphere and the best fondue in town!

Very nice ambiance and great back patio for seating. In the winter, the covered heated patio works for hanging out, and there is even more patio for warmer summer nights. Good food is served here. Happy hour is great, but the menu is limited.

Really cool outdoor bar area and great drinks but I am not a fan of allowing cigarette smoking on the patio area...

Great place to eat and drink outside. The fondue is worth returning for and the atmosphere and staff are great

Great food and overall experience. Would definitely recommend

Great outdoor spot. Fantastic setting and vibe. Ping pong table is a plus.

Very boring atmosphere. You have to have your own clique to have an ok time.

I love this place even though it is mostly populated by 21-30 year olds and I'm several decades older. I go here because I love the funky sort of retro atmosphere and the food is delicious. Their French Dip Sandwich is the BEST I HAVE EVER HAD ANYWHERE!! I like their fondue and their salads are excellent. There is a popular outside patio, but I haven't spent much time out there Their hours expanded and I think they open at 3 or 3:30 and have a very good happy hour. Drinks are very reasonably priced. I like their hot toddies when It's rainy and cold out. The place has minimal signage. Park nearby and walk to it.

Pretty cool place but they desperately need another restroom, the line is ridiculous all the time. The whole place also smells like spilt liquor and beer, maybe clean the floor more often? The covered outside with fireplace is what makes this bar.

Wow!!!!! 20+ minutes for a drink is crazy too long to wait. But it's cool the bartender were doing their best with the 20 some people in the place. Servers we very attentive to need but come on, 20 minutes on a week night.

A fun vibe, but definitely one of those places that all the kool kids go to.

Its bar, ya know. The patio is great. Its normally fairly busy.

Had a blast and loved the cocktails! My food wasn't delicious.

Great patio. Nice staff.
Really good happy hour.

I walk in and instantly smiled. The entire place seemed like they were having a good time. I went in alone on a Friday night just to get a drink and some food. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The people who were there were also great. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was the best I've ever had. And so cheap too!! I will definitely be coming back here soon!

Rontoms was a great experience. Every Sunday night they have live music and it's easy to just plop down on a couch and drink/listen. My favorite part about Rontoms is the back patio. With a massive wooden awning and the fireplaces spread out it feels cozy and easy to spark up a conversation with people @ your table. I had a blast and if I'm ever bored and want to get out on a Sunday I'll know where to go!

Cool late-night spot, sometimes live music, awesome big patio, and they even have Tofutti Cuties on the menu! Neat architecture to look at if you're bored

Service was pretty good. I had the BLT sandwich, and it was pretty amazing. I think it was around 7 dollars and I felt I got a good bang for my buck. The patio area is huge and has lots of seating.

The seating area is awesome. their drinks are great, food is slightly overpriced and not as great

Good hummus. Cocktails are $9. Only 1 women's restroom.

Excellent drinks and incredible food. Made us feel great even with a pandemic!

Nothing to hinder/prevent me from enjoying this "'Kooler' than Kool place". Did I mention the beefsteak I had & the more than reasonable $ charged. Did I mention the Ruben.....?. Don't ask me any lazy/lethargic queery, say "Google ' call such & such and ask them. (Period.).

Worst service I have experienced in a while. Two servers completely ignored us, we had to go inside and ask for service TWICE before someone came out and begrudgingly took our order. The server brought chicken skewers to my vegetarian friend who ordered cucumber salad, and the drinks were wrong as well.

It's a shame, because there patio is the best in Portland. The food is ok, but the fondue was barely warmed up.

I would not go back here.

Always a great place to get cocktails, great atmosphere, and comfortable spots to sit both indoors and out,

Floor was clean and there was no line to the bathroom! Outdoor patio is EXCELLENT!! Mac and Cheese with chicken and bacon was the bomb!!

Fun little spot to get some craft beer wine and other mixed cocktail drinks.

They also make the place very inviting and sort of a friend style feel they provide board games as well which is something that will keep you there and continue to drink

Awesome atmosphere great place to down a few drinks and pre game at with friends make sure everyone has eaten before going out!

Great place. Good vibe on the east side. great patio outside with ping pong. service could be better as they come off a bit snobby sometimes, but hey, its portland. what do you expect. love this bar though. east side chic

Good food. Good cocktails. Service wasn't very attentive, but it was a fun spot to hang if you don't need a lot of interaction.

Great place to just chill and have some drinks. Outdoor patio area is great for warm nights.

Great bar service, but the kitchen was so slow. Waited 45 minutes for a happy hour plate!

Cavernous, hipster laden bar/venue with a stellar patio during warmer months.

Favorite spot for lunch. Always delicious food - really, it's better than it should be at this price point. Cocktails are great, as is the staff. Very cool and modern feel inside. Covered/open patio for dining and smoking. Highly recommend!

Big space with an awesome patio that is only rivaled by 1 other space in this city.
Sunday's Free music, with a broad spectrum of musical styles, and during summer outside in that patio area.
Have enjoyed the food very much, not inexpensive but not over the top either.

Tacos here are WACK!

Solid patio tho

Really great and architecturally cool outdoor space. Great drinks. With they had a better bathroom situation for the ladies instead of lining up in a through way.

Happy hour food was excellent and generous. The steak on the kale salad was particularly good, perfectly cooked on the rare side. Interior is pretty stark, mid-century furniture, rather dark late on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Sitting by the fire made it cozy. We'll be back.

My longest running bar for happy hour by far. Food is great service is good, patio is perfect when the weather breaks!

Rontoms is the our favorite bar in Portland, both for the atmosphere and the stellar food at a great price. The back patio is the best in town, hands down! We had our wedding reception there and it was absolutely perfect!
We highly suggest this venue for special events or simply dinner and drinks. The free music on Sundays is a plus too!

A definite jem of Portland : ) Ping pong is SOOO awesome!

Cool little spot for cocktails and bites. Reasonably priced, funky space, with a huge patio.

Great patio. Not a fan on the weekends when it's packed and hard to get drinks, but weekdays; especially during the summer

Rontoms is a great place to go. Really good food. And they have a ping pong table.

Truly great fondue! Other stuff good but expensive for what you get. Lousy service if you aren't on the patio.

Excellent outdoor patio to enjoy a drink in the summer nights.

Great spot, the staff are friendly and make a welcoming and light atmosphere. The food and drinks are delicious. The outdoor patio makes for a great spot to hang out and relax with friends over drinks. You can't go wrong here.

I was pleasantly surprised by their happy hour, great table service and pretty good food!
