One of a kind - Edit
This was my first experience at a fully vegan pub and it truly impressed me. Bonus points it was walking distance to our house. My favorite thing on the menu is the spaghetti or for a real treat- Pretzels and cheeze dip!!! If you aren’t a drinker- they have great kombucha and other options. Dog friendly ! Great patio space. Gets a bit loud indoors, but it’s a pub!!
Read morePros: Comfort food menu , I wish every pub was vegan! , Dog friendly and non-alcohol options
Cons: Parking (we were lucky road our bikes or walked) , Gets pretty loud inside (but it’s a pub!), Hard to think of a third…

I didn’t talk till my food was gone! - Edit
So good!! We ordered the chips and salsa, pretzel knots, and the Weeping Tiger Sandwich. It all came out at the same time and I went for the sandwich first. I didn’t say another word till it was gone! I’m laughing writing about it 🤣 like let’s pay some respect in silence for this delicious sandwich!! 🙌🏼 Finding a good vegan sandwich is no easy task so hats off to Bye and Bye! That being said, I do think toasting the bread would allow it to better hold through eating the sandwich. The bread fell apart within two bites just because it’s soft. Since I ate the sandwich first the other two food items were not necessary and my taste buds weren’t having it.

OMG, the BBQ Brussels - Edit
My partner and I were hungry after a show and pickings can be slim in Portland the later it gets. I looked up this bar and OMG, I was so pleased. The menu was vegan and they had fantastic priced cocktails. The bar is well decorated and the staff are definitely friendly.

100% Vegan Bar! - Edit
The Bye and Bye has been a staple for me since I first moved to Portland. It's a charming spot with excellent drinks & food, all of which happens to be vegan & affordably priced given Portland standards. Their patios are excellent & Alberta is my favorite street in Portland. I look forward to visiting often.

Fantastic food, drinks, ambiance - Edit
We loved everything about this place! The food is amazing. We especially loved the Weeping Tiger tofu sandwich, the meatball sub, and the Italian deli sandwich. The pretzel knots were also great. The soy curl buffalo wrap was good, but I think I've found that I'm just not that into the "buffalo" flavor in general - no fault of theirs, though. I'm looking forward to trying their bowls and brunch. The drinks were excellent, and I was impressed with how fancy the zero proof cocktails were for a very good price. The outdoor seating is plentiful (two patios!) and dog-friendly. Love that they are open late and are an option after many other places have closed for the night.

Top fav vegan restaurant ever - Edit
I tell everyone about this place and come here almost every time I'm in Portland (which is often). I've had over half the menu items and they're all insanely delicious, my top favs are the buffalo wrap and the weeping tiger. The meatball sub gets an honorable mention. I've taken multiple non-vegan people here who also have raves about the food (including one friend who swore he hated vegan food and really liked everything he got).

tasty affordable nourishing vegan cuisine in an all vegan bar - Edit
The Bye and Bye is an all vegan bar in NE Portland. I am a teetotaler so don't drink yet am a longtime vegan so came here for the vegan food.
Read moreFriendly service and comfortable ambience here. There is a wide range of vegan options to choose from. There was a couple of bowls that looked interesting. My server recommended the BBQ Brussels Bowl so this is what I went for.
It came with BBQ tofu, Brussel sprouts, and brown rice. It was super tasty and nourishing. Recommended!
Good size portion and price was affordable. I would definitely come back here to explore more of the menu.
Pros: tasty affordable nourishing vegan cuisine , friendly service, lovely ambiance

Great brunch - Edit
It was a must visit pub while in Portland and it didn’t disappoint. I loved my chicken and waffles! Pretzel knots were great too. Next time, I would love to try regular menu.

One of the best vegan places in the world - Edit
I've been coming since it first opened and it's not only my favorite place in Portland but one of my favorite vegan restaurants in the entire world. Everything on the menu is awesome. There are lots of good drinks. It's common now but they were one of the first to serve drinks in mason jars. And the vibes here are cozy af.

Simple/Basic Vegan Food - Edit
The food is *good*, but too simple. Two of the three bowls we got could EASILY be recreated at home, and also probably better and cheaper. The Mac and Cheese bowl was the only one that felt special. The Buffalo soy curl wrap was also delicious, but needed more ingredients besides a little lettuce. The wrap is literally just a mountain of soy curls in Buffalo mayo. Get some more veggies in there, please!
Read moreOverall, nice location and vibe. Nothing we ate was bad. If you’re wanting some basic vegan dishes that you don’t have to make yourself, definitely give to is place a try.
Pros: Clean vegan food, Nice location and seating options
Cons: Many dishes too basic for the price

The Italian Sub is fantastic. The rest of my group had the breakfast sandwich, avocado toast and waffle with fruit and whipped cream. Everything was top shelf and tasty.

Ok - Edit
Maybe we just ordered the wrong items but I thought this place was not that great. I had the spaghetti, hard to get spaghetti wrong but it was so plain and sad. Garlic bread is also one of my favourite things in the world but it was tasteless. I hate to judge a place off one item but at least if you go don’t get the spaghetti. If you are just visiting Portland there are much better places in my opinion.

Great & Great - Edit
They brought back the BBQ plate, and it's fantastic. Literally, the collard greens, black-eyed peas, and BBQ tofu are so goddamn packed with flavor that it's mind blowing. I also always order the Bye & Bye drink because it's like 3 drinks in one of liquor.

They do everything well - Edit
Before we arrived and checked out the menu we weren’t sure why this place was so high rated. Most options looked pretty standard, but they just do it all so well. Had the Buffalo soy curl wrap and the Miso bowl and they were delicious. Lots of drink options, indoor and outdoor seating, and just good vibes all around.

Great atmosphere! - Edit
Lots of great options! The meatball sub was good (but messy) - the website said "veggie balls" but the menu in the restaurant said impossible - always a little disappointing when they use name brands instead of in house recipes but that's just my preference. I was here for the sauce that came with the pretzel! The drinks were great and not overly priced. Great place for a date but also chill enough to just hangout on your laptop!

Great Peanut Broccoli Bowl - Edit
I wasn't planning on eating here. I was headed to the Wild Thing a few blocks east of this eatery/bar but the Wild Thing was closed even though the Happy Cow site said it was open until 7pm.
Read moreI don't normally go to bars to eat vegan food since I don't drink and my thinking is that bars tend to serve food as an afterthought - so that you spend more money with them and/or don't leave to find food elsewhere.
I was super pleased that I was wrong. The Peanut Broccoli Bowl ($12) was very good and the amount of food you get was also a pleasant surprise.
It is bar service so you need to place your order there and display your flag thingy to let the server know where to deliver your order. The service was pedestrian. Nothing special but serviceable.
If I was meeting someone for drinks I would highly consider this place to do so.

Not Bye, but "HELLO!" - Edit
I absolutely love this all-vegan bar.
Read moreWe came here with the intention of a late dinner, but after seeing all the beers and ciders on tap, we decided to make it a night. Our server was super nice to let me try their ciders before committing, and my pint was only about $6 which is a great deal compared to other major cities.
You order everything at the bar and they bring out the food to your table. We started with their Pretzel Knots ($6) with mustard and a homemade cashew cheese sauce for dipping. When these were fresh and hot, they were amazing. A bit on the saltier side but you could shake it off.
For our mains, we ordered their Peanut Broccoli Bowl ($12) and Weeping Tiger Sandwich ($11). OMG the bowl was bomb - nutritional yeast baked tofu with a generous helping of veggies and rice. The sauce was fire too. As for our sandwich, the sriracha and miso mayo blended all the veggies and tofu together really well. Only thing we wish was for the bread to have been toasted, but it was still delicious.
Seriously, the food here was fantastic and elevated my expectations of what vegan bar food would be moving forward. Thanks Bye and Bye for the good time - sad to have left so soon!
Pros: Amazing bar food, Great value, Beers on tap

Good food, committed to keeping it vegan - Edit
I love The Bye and Bye. It's a nice spot to hang out because it is largely outdoors (but covered; it is rainy Portland). I've brought various out-of-town (also in-town) visitors and everybody's had a good time, even the omnivores.
Read moreOne time we went for a friend's birthday and somebody brought a cashew cheesecake. We checked in with staff to make sure it was okay to eat it on the patio after we had dinner and they asked if it was vegan (yes, it was) and then gave us paper plates and cutlery to dish it out. Above and beyond service and commitment to keeping it vegan.
I like the pretzel knots, peanut tofu bowl, and rose palmer (iced tea with lemon and rosemary).
Pros: Good food and drinks, Thoughtful staff
