Best combination of healthy and tasty in Portland - Edit
Portland is a mecca for vegan restaurants. Unfortunately most of the food is loaded with salt and fat. I had the Southwest Bowl - large portion, extremely tasty and probably the healthiest food I've had during my weeklong stay in Portland.If I could stay longer, i'd try all of the items on the menu.
Read moreOn the down side, was extremely noisy during my evening meal with piped-in unintelligible rock - had to yell to be heard. Why not some good
blues?
Bartender was extremely friendly and server was speedy with the food and clean-up.
Highly recommended.

Great food - Edit
Awesome menu, wish I could have tried more while I was visiting. The bowls are delicious. My friend and her husband live within walking distance and frequent this place regularly. And he is NOT vegan... but it's the only vegan place he likes! So that's saying a lot!
Read morePros: Great outdoor seating to bring your dogs, Good menu selection, Healthy but delicious
Cons: Very popular, so there can be a long line to order, Can also be hard to find seating since so popular

Amazing find. - Edit
A pub, but with an all vegan menu, and the best thing is that it does not say it is vegan. It just is. It is just a regular menu but all vegan. That is how it should be everywhere. Great bar, great staff and great food. GO THERE!

LOVED this place - Edit
We came for lunch and it was pretty deserted. I had the Bye and Bye cocktail which was delicious and HUGE. For lunch I got the BBQ platter which I was very happy with. The tofu was yummy and the collards! Perfect. My husband had the frito chili pie and liked it a lot. If we lived in the area I think we would frequent this place.
Read moreI don't have much to say about the service. The guy working the bar took our order and was nice. Someone brought our food and checked on us a few times. Again, we were one of two tables at the time so there wasn't much going on. When we visit portland again, the bye and bye will be a must visit.
Pros: great food, cute decor

Definitely a spot for the locals... - Edit
I'm sure if you are familiar with this place, and know people that frequent The Bye and Bye it's a fantastic chill spot without the guilt.
Read moreHowever; it's not thee most welcoming of places for those visiting or are new to the area.
I ordered the meatball sub and my husband had the chili bowl and we shared an order of the pretzel knots. The food was really delicious.
The drinks were a little pricey for the small amount you receive, about $8 for each drink.
As I mentioned, if you aren't a regular you kinda feel ignored and overlooked. It'd be nice to hire a hostess to at least greet you and just be a welcoming face.
Pros: Tastey, guilt-free food , Cool vibe and nice set up
Cons: Not very good customer service, Drinks more expensive than I'm used to

In my top 2 vegan bars of Portland - Edit
I go to Bye & Bye a ton. It's a great meetup spot for vegans and nonvegans alike. The spaghetti & meatballs and weeping tiger fried tofu sandwich are my favorites. Collard greens are also excellent.
Read moreMy friends like the healthier bowls with brussel sprouts and such but I can make that at home so easily and cheaply. My mom calls that kind of dish "hippie glop" - not that I don't enjoy it often. I just like sluttier fare when I go out.
Early eve is the best time to go because it's not yet packed and loud (not just the music, the acoustics are gnarly).
Pros: Great food, Nonvegans friends won't complain, Good cocktails
Cons: Loud at night, Very dim at night

Low Key Vegan Chill Spot - Edit
We came here to celebrate a very special and truly sacred day, and it turned out to be a perfect pick.
Read moreWe got to sit outside on the patio, surrounded by bamboo and soft amber light. I tried an Old Tom, a lavender and gin combo that was as delicious as it was beautiful. Our food we shared was also awesome. Fast service, all vegan.
We had a wonderful first time and just came back again today, and again we are pleased.
I like how they don't necessarily advertise their plant-based nature. A possible great surprise to non-vegans who become shocked that they just consumed vegan fare unwillingly and enjoyed it! Maybe it can help open the eyes of those unaware, I can only hope.
Look forward to sharing this little nook.
Pros: Atmosphere, Vegan, Deliciois Unique Mixed Drink Combinations

Good late night spot - Edit
I like it. Decent food, reasonable prices and open later than other vegan options. It's a bar so don't expect a hushed, subdued setting- yet it's comfortable and a good spot to meet up with friends.

Great Food and Nice Atmosphere - Edit
We grabbed some really tasty food to go from here, but the atmosphere of the bar was really relaxed and nice (even for a non-drinker like myself). Very good meatball sub!

Fun Bar with Great Vegan Food - Edit
My husband and I love this place. They have lots of great food options, and their BBQ Brussels Sprouts Bowl just might be the perfect meal. They have a variety of tasty cocktails and a nice rotating beer tap. Also, don't forget to check the specials board for desserts and soups. The "cheesecake" is sooo darned good! We take our non-veggie friends here all the time, and they love it too. I have read some other reviews that say the service is so-so, but we have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful.

Decent place but... - Edit
I don't want to say all bad things about this place, so I'll start with the good - They're an all vegan bar, beer selection is good, staff is friendly, atmosphere is nice but... It took an hour and a half to get our dinner tonight! After we stood in line to order at the bar we were told it would take 45 minutes, which was fine, but it took twice as long as that. What was most confusing is that it should take about 10 minutes to throw together what we got: a soup on special and a sausage sandwich. All the good things were good, but all the bad things made it bad enough so that we'd never go back.

A Fun Place! - Edit
I went to the Bye and Bye with four other friends. We meet once a month and try a new place. This is a fun place! I like the open-door atmosphere. The food prices were very reasonable, and the portions were fair. I'd go back again. Oh, yeah. And dogs are allowed on the patio out front by parking!

I've tried to like this place but I can't. - Edit
I kept hearing about how awesome this place is and I wanted to support a local vegan establishment. I've gone in about 5 or 6 times thinking that I might be hitting it on an off day each time. The final straw was the last two times I went in (again, thinking maybe it was an off-day) and the bartenders kept serving people over me despite the fact that I was standing at the bar, holding a menu, and trying to make eye contact. Considering the fact that I was the only Afro-American patron in the place, I began to get a familiar feeling so I left.
Read moreI didn't enjoy the food that much.
I don't want to be completely negative so I will say that the drinks are tasty and creative, however, I'm making the choice not to support this place.

I have frequented this bar since it opened. As a vegan, I love being able to order anything without a worry. The food and drinks are great! The atmosphere is perfect. The patio is nice in the summer. I recommend Bye and Bye to everyone.

Very nice! - Edit
Every city/town should have a vegan bar and restaurant like this. Fantastic atmosphere, great outdoor seating, and very friendly service. Order your food at the bar with your drinks, and the food will be delivered to your table. We only had the grilled cheese with our happy hour drinks, but it was the best grilled cheese we'd had in a long time! On our next trip back to Portland, we look forward to spending more time at the Bye and Bye--how lucky for vegans living close by to have this gem in their neighbourhood.

Vegan soul food and bye and bye [the cocktail] in the same place, I never wanted to leave!
Read moreTrying that cocktail is a must if you come here. Their bbq plate is fantastic- cheap and filling. I ended up having to share it with my sister. The ambience is amazing, and the staff is friendly.

A Vegan Bar that Happens to Be Very Good. - Edit
First off this is a Great Bar that happens to be Vegan, pretty damn cool. I've been here pretty much every time I've been to Portland and I have always been blown away. I went again last night, it was a Wednesday evening and the place was hoping with all sorts of interesting hipster people. If I was too nitpick, the scene is not really my kind of people but they drinks are cheap (which it not easy to say in many Portland bars) the food is tasty and vegan and the outside seating is nice when it's sunny and nice. There are minor hours during the day, as I've eaten with a 20 year old vegan college friend, during the day a great little place to take the younger ones and sit outside, I would take my 6 year old daughter for lunch if she was with me, as the people watching and rambling on Alberta is always a treat. If I had to come up with something negitive... The bartenders all the times I've been in are guys and I wouldn't mind a hot tattooed Portland bartender from time to time, so come on get working on that.
Read morePros: food is great, prices are good
Cons: nothing bad to say about this place.

I'd go again. - Edit
A couple reviews mentioned the strong "hipster" scene. It is just Portland, nothing to fear. I am a middle-aged, decidedly "un-hip" kind of guy and they welcomed my un-pierced, non-tatted self just fine.
Read moreI started off with the famous "Bye and Bye" drink. It is good if you are thirsty, but a little too much fruit punch or whatever they top it with. I switched to beer later, an excellent Hefe Weizen that I would order again.
For food I had the Weeping Tiger sandwich. Be careful with this one. The Jalapenos are neither seeded nor pickled. I chewed into one with a nuclear seed payload,it about knocked me off the stool. Beyond that it was tasty. Really the Sriracha sauce gives it enough spice, IMHO. You get a side dish with these sandwiches too. I chose the Collard Greens. I never had Collard Greens before, these were spiced and simmered. Still not one of my favorites, but not bad either.
I'll go again. Definitely want to try the meatball sandwich.
Pros: Nice Folks, Unique sandwiches, Great Beer Selection
Cons: Raw Jalapenos, Parking

Meatball sandwich & a North Williams - Edit
Everything I've had here is fantastic. My favorites are: meatball sub, weeping tiger, grilled cheese & brussel sprouts. You really can't go wrong. Great outdoor patios in front and back. Try a North Williams or the Bye & Bye for drinks. Yum and cute bartenders too boot! If you visit PDX you must go here or there newly opened other joing: the Sweet Hereafter

Great vegan bar! - Edit
I love going here for the drink called the Bye and Bye it is a large drink for about 8 dollars. They now offer more gluten free food too! My favorite food here is probably the weeping tiger sandwich which has a chicken like patty and spicy sauce/mayo mix with avacado and tomato. The ambience is nice and they have outdoor seating.

Indie bar with yummy vegan pub food - Edit
Great healthier vegan twist on pub food. My husband had the meatball sub. Simple but tasty, and he was able to get a side of sauteed brussel sprouts instead of just fries. They were perfectly cooked, tender and delicious. I got the BBQ Plate; black eyed peas and collard greens. I was glad to have a choice that was not typical bar food. It was very nice; spicy beans, and the greens were well cooked. They only negative is that there was a bit too much sauce, my food was swimming a little (although the sauce was tasty). Great selection of cheaply priced micro brews. Fantastic space, large outdoor patios in front and back, lots of tables, good music. You order and pay at the bar and they deliver your food, so the line can be long when it gets busy, but the food came very quickly. This is truly a pub; the food is not upscale but it is delicious, the price was great and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. We'd definitely go back again. Recommended.
