Reception
editAlex Frane included Radio Room in Eater Portland's 2019 list of "14 Spots to Day-Drink in Portland". He wrote, "Not only is it open every day at 9 a.m. with the full drink menu on offer, but the diner-style bar Radio Room is open 365 days a year for year-round day-drinking. With an extensive breakfast and lunch menu, full bar, cocktails, beer, wine, and coffee drinks, it's easy to while away a day here, especially out on the double-decker patio with a view of Alberta."[6] In 2020, he also included the restaurant in an overview of "Portland's Legit Late-Night Happy Hours" and a list of "Portland's 9 Ideal Rooftop Patios for Views, Drinks, and Sun".[3][7] The website's Brooke Jackson-Glidden included Radio Room in a 2020 overview of "Where to Throw a Bachelorette Party in Portland", writing: "In an artsy-funky space on Alberta, Radio Room is a good choice for a relaxed meal with plenty of drinks. Whether it's more of a bachelorette brunch or a late-night party on the upstairs patio, Radio Room can accommodate most, and easily handles larger parties."[8]
Radio Room was also included in Eater Portland's 2021 list of "14 Cozy Portland Restaurants and Bars with Fireplaces". The website said, "Although Radio Room is mostly known for its large outdoor fireplace on the lower-floor patio, the dining room with the retro bingo sign is also home to a burly wood stove. To lean into the cold-weather vibes, opt for a bowl of the soup du jour, or a hearty plate of brunch biscuits and gravy."[9] Frane also included Radio Room in a 2022 list of "17 Portland Bar Patios for Winter Revelry". He said the restaurant has "always sported one of the best patios on Alberta, with multiple levels, coverings, heaters, and plant life, making it a lovely space to watch a sunset".[10]
