Lizard Lounge

Truly a great retail store. Extremely creative buying of unique pieces. Staff helpful and friendly. Should be a local and visitor «Must go!» Shopping list!

I used to shop here a lot when i lived closer to downtown. They have a good selection of brands. My visits are more sporadic now that i’m across the river. The last 3 times i’ve been in I’ve gotten seriously bad vibes from the staff. I got the feeling that i was being followed around the store, uncomfortable shopping experience to say the least. Also, everything is just a bit more expensive than similar local shops with friendlier staff/​vibes. I wouldn’t mind paying extra if it were a good shopping experience but i’m not going to spend more money for a bad one. I won’t be returning.

This review is specifically for customer service. This was my first time in Portland, and first time visiting this store.
I wasn’t greeted by any of the three staff that walked by me, and I had to ask someone for a change room. Prior to trying my things on, I used the in-​store restroom, and upon returning I discovered all of my items (which were waiting to be tried on) were being put away by another sales clerk.
If I want to spend some good money on clothes, I would at least appreciate being considered. I got an air of arrogance from everyone working at this place; what egos!
What a shame because I’ve only met lovely people in Portland, and have enjoyed everything else about my trip.
I’ll skip this place next time I’m in town.

Why? Why? WHY do I not make more money?
I want my life to be outfitted by the fashionably rugged clothing found at Lizard Lounge. I want to wear their $ 200+ pairs of denim whilst chopping wood. I want to don their $ 150 flannel shirts while wrangling a moose. I want to live the Lizard Lounge Lifestyle.
While I have yet to find a unique portland clothier that I can actually afford, at least now I’ve found one that I really, really, really like. Yes, really. I like them. Really.
If you’re a spendy lumberjack, this is your store!

Big as a barn! If you are a clotheshorse then you better get Mr. Ed and friends over here and check new arrivals, new fashion styles from men and woman! Comfy leather to sit down in. Enjoy a backgammon game. While your better half shops till she drops. Big as a barn but definitely notches up! Shirts, pants and shoes and all accessories.

I went on an adventure in search for a pair of high quality denim jeans in Portland. My search brought me to three shops throughout the Pearl. Although I ended up at both Self Edge and the Woodlands, I made my purchase at Lizard Lounge.
I was greeted by an associate, who’s name I woefully have forgotten, who asked me what I was looking for and what I wanted out a pair of jeans. We discussed price point, brands, cuts, sizing, as well as various other topics.
After trying a few pairs on, I settled upon a pair (the first pair he recommended). The associate didn’t try to close me right then and there. He asked if I wanted to get some more reference points with a few more pairs. I said that I think I found my jeans, and he told me to look around and let him know when I was ready to bite. I took a few minutes to look at all of Lizard Lounge’s high quality wares.
I started the checkout (with the same associate) and he filled my brain with helpful tips about my new pair of jeans. Very very pleasant!
Could I have paid 10% less than Lizard Lounge’s retail on Amazon? Yes. Did Lizard Lounge give me 10% off for some unannounced reason? Yes! I’m very happy with my whole experience.
Edit: some letters and word changes

Awesome place!
I’ve been here a few times, the last time I stopped by I was in search of jeans and the staff was super helpful and friendly. I let them know what I was looking for and they suggested several different pairs. In the end, I tried on lots of pairs but I didn’t really find what I was looking for.
The selection of clothing is unique and I love that they carry the brand Nau. I will definitely be back.

Time after time I come to Lizard Lounge ready to spend good money, and I always leave empty handed. They have great merch and their pricing is normal, but I have never once been helped. I look trendy, I’m in their demographic, but I never get service. This past visit I stood for 10 minutes waiting for a dressing room, until I finally asked a sales rep and he gave me a half hearted «just wait for someone to leave» and walked away. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere from now on.

This is the only other store I’ve been to that sells Nudies jeans, the other store being the actual shop in LA.
Okay, so the staff is friendly and highly knowledgeable on their products. I have bought many pairs of jeans from them and they all are great quality. The prices may be a bit high, but look at it this way. Would you rather keep spending money on cheap jeans that you have to replace every 6 – 12 months or drop extra on good denim that will last YEARS. One of my Nudies I’ve had since I was 19, I’m 27 now and they are in great shape. Anyways, I feel like this is turning into an awkward add, (I don’t work for the company, just a jean enthusiast).
I’m finally writing a review because their staff spent an hour helping me find skinny black jeans that won’t stretch. I finally decided on a pair of J Brand and left very happy. I did end up returning them the next day due to the fact that even if I did hem them they bunch up on my knees too much and because I’m short it looks really awkward. I’m a bit sad because I love those jeans! Even when I returned them they gave me advice on what kind of jeans to look for and were happy to return the item.

I just wish my Unilocal Friend would have shop here a little longer?
Hey come on! Try on a few pair of jeans? Get a new jacket or something?
I just love the «lounging» aspect of Lizard Lounge!
Computer Stations? Big Comfy Leather chairs?
It is a heaven for the Shopper’s friends, especially when your friend took forever to decide on everything. But at this price point, seriously take your time… I am not rushing you!

Really dug this place. Not quite as crazy high end as Frances May, but better for me in terms of style and pricepoint. Well constructed products without the extra price for label. I appreciated the free (and very decent) coffee while shopping. The store ladies were extremely helpful and friendly. Will be a running Portland stop-​in.

Loads of top quality gear, an eclectic mix of items. Great selection of Toms/​Vans/​jeans. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Excellent selection of top quality clothing. All employees are exceptionally helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!

I like Horny Toad. I like Nau. I like deals.
Had to stop here during my travels to Portland to check it out and I was happy to find a rack with some winter guy goodies with a decent discount. They didn’t have much stock of «spring» items in yet.
Way cool selection of stuff for women. Sadly, it’s the kinda stuff that needs to be tried on. By a woman. Not me.

Overpriced Nordstrom. I mean lizard lounge. I like shopping local so I throw them some business but the staff isn’t overly friendly or helpful. The prices are high. If I find something I like here I look for it at a 30% cheaper price online.
Lizard get real on your prices!

Lizard Lounge’s offering of quality and eclectic goods are inspiring and warming to the sartorial heart. From classic denim from the Levi’s Vintage Collection to the sublime Nau, the labels they carry demonstrate their appreciation for finely made clothing and accessories.
Located in the heart of the Pearl, the store takes on the character of the worn brick walls, deep and rich without the harshness of new. Laid out for the casual shopper the wares are located everywhere to encourage that lingering/​browsing on a weekend afternoon. However well-​planned the store is the staff are the true gems of Lizard Lounge. They’re cheerful demeanor and intuitive sense rides the unintrusive-​attentiveness line perfectly. Here I must send a shout out to Shane who’s knowledge on raw denim helped me immensely in selecting a pair of jeans.
I would venture a guess that a several well-​chosen pieces from Lizard Lounge would easily replace a bulk of what’s in your closet. And you would look great without the hipster awkwardness or yuppie veneer.

Lizard Lounge has so much stuff I want to buy… if I could afford it… and if they ever had anything in my size (granted, I’m bigger than the average dude). But that doesn’t keep me from wanting to buy so much of what these folks offer. From local designers to designer-​designers, there’s a lot of stuff you’ll find here and not many more places in PDX. Plus they sell it all in a lounge-​like atmosphere.
Oh, and they throw one hell of a party. Every First Thursday this is a must-​stop for the young, hip set. It’s a pretty hardcore scene in here, but the free Widmer makes it fun. Yup. Free good beer.
Don’t get me wrong, if they had some dramatically awesome pieces here that fit me I would likely start forking over the cash — I do care a lot about good clothes, but once they get into a higher price echelon, they need to fit perfect.
Good stuff.

Sustainable clothing + lounge + range of shoes to hats and everything in between = 5.
My main interest in the Lizard Lounge is that they share parents with, and are the Portland outlet for, NAU clothing.
It’s design-​oriented outdoor performance clothing that meets stylish in the office. The materials are traceably sustainable.
NAU’s specialty is the jacket, pants, shirt you can bike to work in, then walk in the door looking smart. It’s perfect for Portland!
Go on First Thursday evenings, for their events, which usually involve a discount and donation to sustainable/​overseas development/​worldchanging projects. Often you can meet the NAU designers and staff in person, just ask around.
They have a great selection of men’s hats, many other clothing brands and useful stuff. Free computers for emergency Internet checking. Great staff. Art shows every month.

The Lizard Lounge could be my new joint… if only I had the bank account for it! Yeah, they have some pretty dope gear here, but dang you need coin to roll in here.
With that said, the clothing they sell is top notch, unique, and many of it is made in a sustainable way. I can’t build my entire wardrobe here, but I can pick a cool item or two here every once and a while — personal economy withstanding .
I’m a fan of the NAU brand, and this is the closest place in the Northwest I can shop for their gear. NAU’s always been expensive as all get up, but they make some awesome garments. I thought of getting a jacket, but ended up just getting a NAU wallet.
The staff here are super nice and easy on the eyes. When one of them saw the old tattered wallet I was replacing, they said, «Ooo, that’s a cool wallet.»
«Yeah, it’s a dog food-​flavored Pendleton wallet!», I replied. Yeah, one of my dogs had torn this wallet up a while ago, so I was in the market. Anyway, we talked about canines, and she said I can bring my dogs in any time.
Lizard Lounge, ya’ll are fresh!

I came in here on a whim as I was walking around the Pearl District last Sunday. That turned out to be a good thing as their promotional material led me to their nearby Nau/​Horny Toad warehouse sale where I bought some nice shirts and pants.
This is a fun store to wander around. Staff is friendly and the store is layed out in a comfortable and well-​considered fashion. The lounge chairs, TV area, and ping-​pong table were all pretty cool and inviting for shopping or just hanging out. And I’m sorry I wasn’t in town for a First Thursday event.
I’d like to come here again with Gayle in tow. She has been talking about upgrading my wardrobe from Royal Robbins flaps, getting away from browns and greens, and losing the alleged tucked in daddy pants look. Lizard Lounge would be a good place to at least try out some more fashionable possibilities.
