Pepe Le Moko

Pepe le Moko is a very chill, speakeasy, type lounge that after checking this place out alone, it definitely seems best for couples, first dates, group hangouts, etc. I was there visiting solo from Wilmington NC, so I chatted with two bartenders that were pretty friendly and offered good suggestions for checking out DT Portland. I had two drinks (the grasshopper and a lemon sour amaretto) which were made well, and did not disappoint. I also ordered the deviled eggs, which were just okay to me, but I bought them mainly because the cute blond waitress suggested them. The price did not bother me at all, it's a cocktail bar. I'm giving it five stars because I would've went back if time allowed.

First off, I love the location and how intimate this place is. I highly recommend the oysters as they are fresh and delicious. Despite a long wait for the drinks, which is understandable considering it was peak hours on a Friday night, the cocktails were perfect and the prices reasonable. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The host was very friendly and recommended some places around town to check out.

Very cool place! Loved their food and their drinks. When you come in there's a tiny little area where you give your name to get a table and then wait outside until they text you to tell you that they have a table for you. Since the front of the restaurant is so tiny, is easy to miss, but they are next to the Cleaners. The restaurant is underground and cool looking. They don't have a ton of options for food but what they have available is really good!
