    This bar is very cozy and upscale in the front, but there is a secret door that leads you to a speakeasy bar in the back. The back bar has fun games like shuffle board, pool, and darts.

    You gotta go with someone who knows the pin code to get into the speakeasy. It's so cool! PS: the key pad is inside the MAFIA book

    The patio in the summer is wonderful. Fortunately they've got heaters for the rest of the year. The Moscow Mule is my fave drink, the fish & chips are hard to beat.

    Our bartender with the fire red lipstick was so awesome! She made some great cocktails and let us in on the speakeasy in the back.

    I'd stay away on the weekends. But on a quiet night, this is a great spot for first-rate cocktails & delicious food.

    Cocktails are great, and an impressive list of beers on tap. Outside is covered and has heaters during cool, rainy evenings.

    There might be better food in town, but the overall experience of circa is always top notch.

    Vegan burger! Best I've had in Portland. Butternut squash and apples with a great crust and spices.

    Don't forget to save room for the pudding, don't worry it is small but still rich enough to share.

    Look for the secret 'back room' - it's behind the bookcase and is much quieter. If you can't find it, the staff may well help you ;)

    Whiskey selection was pretty good. Pappy Van Winkle was available, but pretty steep in price.

    Felt really cool when I discovered the secret bar in the back. Then I found out it's not so secret.
