Tope

“We came here last week for a drink as it was one of the last nice days left in the year. We had a nice outside view and also had a table to chill inside. I did enjoy their queso dip, a great snacking food.”

“Oh man. What a gem. We came here for a happy hour and I ordered food as well and will totally be coming back. Ok, so rooftop bar - they aren’t coasting on that. The chips and salsa are awesome - the salsa was the best I’ve tasted in some time. The queso was great as well. I could probably live off these the rest of my life and be stoked the entire time. Got the smoked Tacos at the top of the menu. Man, I was shocked when I had my first bite. It was perfect. You gotta get them. The staff were wonderful as well - they had just sat a party of 25!!!!!! With no reservations and we had a party of 7 and they were so nice and awesome. What a rad place.”

“Great view, fun lively vibe, it was busy and service was good. A good margarita, glass of wine was good. Black ceviche was good, guacamole was not good, disappointed with the 3 chicken tacos, the cheese taco was okay. $82 for two people before tip was a lot for food, but the view added value. Would not go back for dinner, but would go back for a drink and the view. It was a cool night and I didn’t see heaters out on the deck, but they did have some blankets for people to wrap up in which was thoughtful.”

“Small but high quality menu. Atmosphere, both in door and outdoor, are relaxing and modern. Our service was a bit lacking - slow, inattentive. Other servers seemed more attentive and proactive.”

“4/5: Rooftop view, ceviche win, but still no toilet seat covers Our unplanned visit to Tope on 7/23/2025 was a pleasant surprise after wandering around downtown. Located inside The Hoxton Hotel on the corner of 4th and Burnside, right next to the Dragon Gate entrance to Old Town, this was the only place open at 4 PM, and it worked out well for us. Our party of three was seated on the rooftop patio, where we caught a clear view of Mt. Hood in the distance and the Broadway Bridge to our left. About one-third of the rooftop had shade from the building between 4–6 PM. The space also has plenty of indoor lounge seating, and only the rooftop and part of the indoor dining have those views. We ordered the only two mocktails on the menu at $9 each and found them well balanced and enjoyable. Our friend got the La Bodega ($18), but we forgot to follow up on her opinion. I ordered the Rockfish Ceviche ($21), which was generously lime-marinated, to the point that I didn’t need the extra lime wedges I asked for. That almost never happens. I’d gladly get it again. A new line on our receipt caught our attention: “3 Kitchen Appreciation, $1.50.” We asked our server, who explained it is automatically added to support kitchen staff when food is ordered. We didn’t confirm whether it’s per person or per dish, but the charge was $1.50 total for the three of us. Restroom note: Located at the rooftop lounge level are three gender-neutral, single-stall restrooms. Functional, yes, but no toilet seat covers, which loses them a star. The hotel itself has a well-air-conditioned lobby and plenty of relaxed seating at street level if you’re waiting for a table or need a cool down before heading up. The rooftop patio was filling quickly while we were there. Views, casual vibes, and thoughtful service made this visit worthwhile. We’ll likely be back for ceviche and rooftop when we’re in the area again.”
