Cool place! I like the mix of tenants and the various cuisines. The dining area is casual but convivial.

Fun spin on a min-mall. Unique businesses coming together to create a unique experience. What’s not to like? And Paydirt is fantastic!

LOVEIT. ChickpeaDX is serving up killer felafel plates, and Pay Dirt’s slinging awesome drinks. I haven’t tried the pizza joint there, but I’m guessing it’s good too. The indoor seating is good for winter, and the patio with fire pit is awesome in the summer. I would love to see more buildings around town with this concept

Portland has brought us the glorious zipper. It has sticks lining the outside of the building, hence the name. There is a lobby in the center, in which all the storefronts can be accessed. A hair store is here. The twelve bus is what can take visitors to this place. I decided that I must go here. The atmosphere is particularly calm and outside has seating. There could be more variety as far as the restaurants. I would not set out to go The Zipper. But I like the flavor, though the commonality of pizza and Mexican cuisine places does make this stand out a lot less. Still, this is a great contribution to the city. Enjoy our new zipper.

I think this is a pretty cool concept. Create a common space between a number of food outlets where you can enjoy trying several different places under one roof. It’s great for groups with different diets/preferences. It’s not fancy, and has medium size picnic style seating, but the outside fire pit area will be cool when the weather is clear. The prices were reasonable, and the options good. As you would expect in this type of dining, you buss your own tables and order at the individual vendor. They do deliver your meal to the table. You can purchase alcoholic beverages from the on premises bar. I plan to go back to sample more of the menus!

Loving these communal concepts like The Ocean and now The Zipper. The Zipper has one up on The Ocean because of the extensive indoor communal area, where you can bring your food from one of many restaurants while also scoring drinks from Paydirt, a very cool bar that occupies one long end of the space. It’s basically a few small restaurants with a large communal indoor seating area, bay doors that open to an outdoor area, and fire pit outside. An excellent concept that seems to work well in execution. I’m not 100% stoked on the food options(The Ocean wins on this front), however I really dig the fact that, unlike The Ocean, I can get my drinks from one place food from another, and sit with my friends in the middle. So everyone can get whatever they want and eat wherever they like. I believe at The Ocean you can take your food anywhere but drinks have to stay in each restaurant’s specific outdoor area. Glad this new(ish) concept of a food-court filled with local restos and a great bar seems to be blossoming in PDX. I’ll take as many more as you’re willing to serve up!

What the heck is an adult food court? Or food court for adults, or whatever? Simple. It’s a room in between the bar and the little food shops with plastic picnic tables where you can take your stuff. I was expecting something more elaborate, but that’s really all it is. Well, some restrooms and at least one TV. It showed the Blazers almost beat the Grizzlies. sigh There’s no ATM. An inexplicable oversight. There’s also tons of radiant heaters hanging from the ceiling and it felt like every MFing one of them was on. I was dying inside there. It’s got some big garage doors that connect to outdoor seating and a gas firepit. S’cool. But if those doors are closed turn the dang thermostat down.
