I love Vault! But...only for Happy Hour during the week... not cuz i am cheap, but because it's empty rather than full of Pearl drones and Bridge & Tunnel rejects trying to floss with their $20 budget for the night. Mon nights are awesome as they are never crowded..svc/food/drinks are top notch. And PLEASE, Portland, if you want good service, be nice, smile, and TIP! 20% is not much to ask for...if you can't afford it, then keep your fuckin cheap ass @ home!

Wannabe NY or LA bar,,, get a clue, don't wear all black. A lot of people acting like they have cash until they get the $50 bill, leave a $2 tip then get into their Hyundai excel and drive home

My coworkers took me to Vault as a going away party, and I got freakin' trashed!

I don't know what those other people are talking about when they say they've gotten atitude from the servers, because everytime i go there I'm totally impressed. The cocktailers are cute, give fast service and never forget even a napkin or a glass of water. they're always on it. Plus, the drinks are freakin' awesome. I'm hammered after one and a half martinis. I get something different everytime and I'm always thrilled with my choice. :-)

It’s easy to catch someone on a bad day, especially someone in the service industry. That said, it is no surprise that Vault appears to be emptier and emptier on Friday and Saturday nights, spotted only with late 30s somethings on dates. Our waitress, every time we’ve been, amused herself by staring (blankly) off at the walls, was not familiar with their drink menu and couldn’t even dignify our requests with a response. Unforgivable. Avoid it and hit up Brazen Bean for a better martini.

This bar is like the anti-portland. I think that they shipped the servers in from New York City! The only reason I gave the service a 2 instead of a 1 is because the bouncer was a nice guy. The servers were snotty and rude. I was very sad because I had heard that the drinks were great. But I didn't even get that far because I was so disappointed by the rudeness of the servers that my friends and I left. This could be a great hangout. But the condescending workers gave me a bad taste!

I go there often for their habanjero martinis...yum!! Plus you can't beat the staff. My friend & I went there for martinis and ordered a pizza to split. We get our pizza with goat cheese on it, which was not supposed to be on there at all (s'posed to be mozzerella). So, we alert the bartenderess who was helping us, and she ordered a new one for us and let my girlfriend finish the mistake pizza. Well, the cook comes out and delivers the correct pizza to me and says, "here ya go-- good way to get a free meal, huh?" My friend and I were surprised but not all that pissed off or anything. We still wanted to let our bartenderess know what he said, so we told her. She went & told the owner, and not only did we get an apology from her AND the owner for the cook's behavior, we got a "forced" apology from the cook, two free martinis, she comped the food, AND she gave us a $50 gift card with their compliments!!! My friend and I were extremely surprised & happy, especially since we would've been just fine with the free drinks & food to begin with.

Guess that's what happens when you live in the snootsville Pearl: everyone expects perfection and compensation when their asses aren't constantly kissed!!

I liked everything about this place except it's size! It is WAY too small and you cannot move without bumping into someone, hoping that you don't spill your drink! Otherwise they make great drinks and have a good crowd of people!

It could have attitude, but Vault is a treasure chest of a neighborhood bar with imagination and good manners. Wait staff are unbelieveably courteuous, drinks are exactingly prepared, and the bathroom wallpaper deserves its own review.
