"I've been wanting to combine Riesling and cachaça," said our intense bartender, mixing wine and liquor after a request for an on-the-spot invention. He added grapefruit and lime, tasted the concoction, and scribbled in his notebook before presenting it to the customer, who seemed very happy with the result. I was equally pleased with my Broken Shark (gin, Averna amaro, grapefruit, and...

Beaker & Flask Restaurant Review

Over-size booths line Beaker & Flask’s interior, which is shaped like a silo lying on its side with a lofty bank of windows on the rounded edge. A long, curving bar dominates the space and many patrons come in just for a cocktail or two from the frequently changing and always clever list. Careful attention is paid to details, from vintage glassware to the frozen coconut water used as ice in a...

Inspired by The Gentleman's Companion, an influential cocktail manual published in 1946, the sassily named cocktails here are modern twists on classics. For instance, there's the rum-based Sal's Minion, served over coconut-water ice cubes, or the Chimney Sweep, a concoction of ouzo, blended scotch, and Ramazzotti (an Italian bitters). Drink choices frequently change based on seasons and...

If I were a foodie visiting Portland, I would eat every meal here. At Beaker & Flask, I once had the perfect mushroom appetizer -- chanterelles perfectly cooked, with a dash of melt-in-your-mouth bone marrow. I followed that with grilled and smoked mackerel atop potato salad and Dungeness crab. It was at once creamy, smoky, and oily, and when I ordered it, the server made sure I was familiar...

Better for cocktails than dinner

Average Rating

As we were reviewing the menu, we asked the server for recommendations/what they are know for, referring to dinner. She replied "cocktails". The dinner was okay, but this is a better place to go for drinks and finger food, rather than a nice meal. I guess we were expecting more, from other reveiws. Prices were reasonable and it has a good clean feel to the place.

My wife and I tried Beaker and Flask for the first time on Friday and we were not very impressed after all the good reviews we read. The quinoa salad was runny. My wife had the rabbit which was "OK" however, the lemon ricotta it was served with was very overpowering. I had the fried chicken and was very impressed with it and the mashed potatoes were excellent.

Formerly my favorite

Inattentive service and poor food was the hallmark tonight. It took quite some time before we were even acknowledged after sitting down, and it was NOT busy. After describing the beautiful tuna dish to us, the server came back to inform us that it was no longer available, but the chef suggested that he could do the same dish with prawns. The prawns were wonderful, but the dressing on the...

Fine dining

This restaurant has a great ambience and better than average menu. If you can be seated near the kitchen you can actually converse with the chefs. Prices are high but competitive. It meets my criteria for fine dining.

Fun for us!

We had a good time at Beaker & Flask, although the drink service was kind of slow throughout, the food came fast and hot. We had the Black Tea Fried Chicken and it was excellently crispy. The greens and garlic mashers that accompanied it were delicious. The Quinoa risotto was so good I cannot wait to make a version of it very soon.

The drink list is a concoction of their finest specialties and...

Eating places

Beaker & Flask is located at 720 Se Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR. This location is in the Buckman neighborhood. This business specializes in Restaurants.

Oh, the supergroup has a spotty rock/roll history, to be true, and yet Kevin Ludwig’s Beaker & Flask, ensconced amid Portland’s artisanal Distillery Row, has gone for it whole-heartedly among the wonky side of the bartender trade, pulling mostly from the original Clyde Common crew to make—note-perfect, hot-shit-damn—one of the best cocktail-menu/cocktail-maker mergers the city has seen.
