BarFly's Review of Tonic Lounge
It’s a shame acts tend toward the touring no-hopers and newer local bands - every person you’ve met in Portland has played there, every one of them - since there’s not another live music venue within a few nautical miles, and (especially handy for the couple) the curving, distinctive floorplan’s as conducive to rocking out as it is to ignoring the stage entirely. The former Rose City strip club’s deceptively large, with a wholly separate bar, reminiscent of the featureless British local and sorta charming despite itself, for area residents and those fleeing Fantasy Video.

I love the Tonic, the bartenders are good company, the music is loud, the beer is cold even served in a frozen pint glass!

The only thing that is true about the rumors is that there are new owners. Bands are still getting booked and paid, and they still get drink tickets and guests.

First timer last weekend. Kinda weird layout but The Rock was loud and the staff seemed cool. Cozy, smoky, low ceiling type dive. Constructive critique: Tear out the smelly carpet and better taps. Arrogant Bastard and Bridgeport IPA are good starts, but in this town you gotta do better! (hint: Terminal Gravity IPA and/or Lagunitas Maximus) Do that and i'll be coming back for more than shows.

Oh sweet winter! Furious flurries of white swirl in the odious stalls! Look! Fantasy man has warty...balls cracking about near the exit door, Nay! dare not kiss the mom with falsies you know she's a...horrible smells from jamaican pretenders, whilest out in front soundman regurgitates after twenty benders. Tattoo mommy with no ambition, serves it stiff, then gets bossed in the kitchen. The booths they fill with dirty old twits who'd pay a dog to see it's...titilating musicians slump at the bar and drink away their 'lives', they're all going nowhere and that's why they call these places dives.

Now that Lindsay is gone, this place fucking sucks. All of the chick bartenders are complete sluts. I have to ask for more napkins each time because the coke-head waitress and the deathly skinny manager can't stop drooling on me. I JUST WANT A FUCKING BEER! NOT YOUR NASTY PUSSY! The guys are still pretty cool, depending on their mood. I dunno, I used to go there a few times a week, but I'll never go again. Unless I want an STD, or a rat in my burger. What happened to Marnie, CaL, and Lindsay? They fucking ruled.

That waitress is not only the best waitress EVER, but she's hot too. What more can you ask for?

This place rocks. Awesome happy hour, fucking hot bartenders, 2 fireplaces, hauntingly creepy, and LOUD rock music. What more could you ask for?

Marnie, not sure if she still works there was an awsome bartender. Can be a more of an uppity crowd but really dark and comfy. A couple of pool tables in the back. Smaller area for live shows. Not bad to hang out with some friends and have a drink...they get stronger with every next order.
