The Box Social

Had a wonderful experience at the Box Social. We got their happy hour options of the tuna melt and the Parmesan popcorn, which were fantastic deals. Normally places give you tiny little portions for their happy hour, but not here! The Parmesan popcorn came out as a very large and delicious serving, and the tuna melt was amazing and a proper size, even came with a side salad as well which I thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere in here is absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed an expertly crafted whiskey cocktail. So much to love here, will definitely be recommending this spot to my friends on their future Portland trips!

Great space to eat, chill, and people watch. I was with 3 others on the first really rainy day of the end of summer. It was in the 60s and called for tomato soup. We all got that with either a grilled cheese or tuna melt. Their seasonal non-alcoholic cocktail was so good!!! I don't drink and I've had some decent ones but this one as really good and actually tasted like a cocktail. Wasn't my first time there but I'll be back.

We stopped by here after our sad experience at XLB to grab a cocktail. First, love the ambiance and atmosphere. We sat at the bar and it was our type of scene. The bartenders were friendly but also gave us space for us to enjoy our drinks and conversations. They did periodically check in. We had the cocktail flight to try and we enjoyed each and every one of them! Looks like these flights are seasonal. We tried their parmesan popcorn and it tasted exactly like you'd expect it.. A lot bigger than we anticipated. Their whiskey sour was really good, recommended that. I didn't care for their rotating old fashion. Old fashions should be served on a single ice cube and a bunch of mixed cubes doesn't hit the same. This is also my fault because I forgot to ask about the ice cube like I generally do (wow I sound so pretentious). But other than the ice cubes part, the drink itself was strong but it wasn't smooth and we didn't care for it. But I saw the bartender make a regular old fashion with a single ice cube! My boyfriends tequila cocktail came out looking girly and I laughed because he thought it was going to come out 'cool' looking. 😂 The drink itself was pretty strong but because I had been drinking more whiskey drinks, I didn't want to indulge in his as I don't like mixing. But he really liked his drink.
