BarFly's Review of Jake's Grill
Roll like an Astor in this well-preserved study of Lumber Baron-era opulence. Spacious, cigar friendly bar burbles with lively conversation most nights; the frozen faces of former endangered species quietly keep you company on off days. Brother bar of Jake's Famous, sporting the same excellent happy hour deals. $1.95 apps 3-6pm & 9:30pm-close M-F and all day Sundays.

St Patty's Feast
I was striking out on finding a suitable restaurant on Hawthorne and Powell after 10 pm and decided to try downtown. I had a very generous and delicious dinner of Corned beef & cabbage with carrots, celery and bread. There was an assortment of both well-dressed and casual diners enjoying the evening. I will return to work thru their menu.

Great drinks, great food
First off, this place rapes you with drink and food prices for the most part - but it's so damn good that sometimes it's worth it. The bartenders are nice, quick, and efficient. They know how to serve drinks and don't play around. The food is also excellent, if not a bit expensive. I haven't heard of this 14.95 lobster after 10:30 thing, but if the rumor is true (i'll call to check it out) i'm going to be down there very soon. I also hadn't heard of the 6.95 lunch special which sounds like a killer deal, maybe i'll drop by there for lunch and a cocktail.

Terrible Deal
I just dropped 35 bucks on the worst fish I've had. I should have stopped at Burger King. The soup came and I was 1/4 the way through the cup when the waiter dropped off my fish. It was 'The fastest he'd ever seen it come up'. That's code for it was sitting around for a long time. I complained. They reheated it to the warmer, but tough thing I ate 1/2 of. Terrible food, terrible waiter, bad deal. The best part was the wine.

Endangered Species?
Partridge, buffalo, elk, and a moose. Yeah, endangered species.
Oh, and the bar is great. Ryan, Steve, Gino, Matt, and Mark are all fucking brilliant. Well worth paying a little more to be served by these guys - the best bartenders in Portland. Except that bitch that works days. I can't stand her.

60 dollar lobster for 12 bucks
Hey, if you go to Jake's after 10:30pm you can get prime Alaskan Lobster for 14bucks... I guess they figure they're better off selling it than tossing it in the trash. This is no joke.

Blue Hour Special
Lunches during the week are a different special day for $6.95. Entree, side (usually garlic mashed) and veggies. I eat this shit for breakfast... er... for lunch.
