      <![CDATA[The scene here is wonderful. The DJ is friendly and will play a request if possible. Great service, great atmosphere. You can&#39;t find a better place on Hawthorne to spend a friday night.

      <![CDATA[Service is awful.  I brought in several of my friends tonight, all of which work in the service industry and are you kidding me.  We are not the needy type. My friend ordered something off the happy hour menu which ended at 8.  8:30 came around and I asked our server for her food.  &quot;It takes a while to cook.&quot;  Bullshit.  I understand being overwhelmed as did all of us but there was maybe 8 tables in the place. 15 minutes later she got her order of mac and cheese. Comp the fucking food you forgot to ring in. This is not rocket science, do not think we are morons. 45 minutes for mac and cheese. REALLY. Comp your fuck ups. I have spent weeks praising this new addition to Hawthorne. But I will not continue to do so with half ass forgetful service. The drinks are fabulous and so is the space.  But the service is par for Portland. Crap Crap Crap.

      <![CDATA[I went recently with a girlfriend around 10pm on a weeknight. I was impressed. Chill crowd. Excellent DJ spinnin hip hop and some other stuff at an enjoyable, not earbleeding volume level. The cocktails are spending but excellent if your ina mood for foo-foo drinks. And the food...good Lord, the food. Who new deviled eggs and mac and cheese could hit the spot so right at 10 o&#39;clock at night?

      <![CDATA[True to the old Head and Shoulders tagline -- you only got one chance to make a first impression -- a first visit to GDM proved flake free with reasonable prices on tasty (and thankfully non-pub grub) late-night food as well as drinks, friendly service, a good DJ spinning records that complimented the atmosphere without commandeering the airwaves, and, as previously mentioned, a swanky yet unpretentious vibe.  Indeed a welcome option on Hawthorne.

      <![CDATA[Both retro and modern, kitschy and classy, this bar was such a pleasant surprise. It manages to be swanky yet not pretentious, with cocktails and food that are innovative yet inexpensive (well, relatively). Yay!

      <![CDATA[Great new bar, in a much needed neighborhood.  Strong coctails, great food and some cool employees make for an evening, late night or even just afternoon destination.  Great painting by the bar also.

      <![CDATA[The Meridian is a great new bar for a district sorely in need of non-hippy energy.  It&#39;s got Nightlight pedigree, and it feels like it, with a lot of seating packed into a cozy little space.  Wood is everywhere, and plenty of big booths to enjoy really affordable drinks and fairly high-end food. If you haven&#39;t been, you&#39;ll wind up there soon.
