Where to get a Cocktail In Portland Oregon
Our non-exhaustive list of some of our favorite places to grab a cocktail in Portland, Oregon
As Covid restrictions lift across the country, bars are finally getting back to work and we can once again grab a drink at our favorite places. As you plan trips and evenings out, be sure to check local restrictions and hours.
The Vern
If you’re looking for a dive-bar feel with a killer cocktail program you have to pop by The Vern. Their recently built patio is the perfect place to grab a sando or some snacks while enjoying a local beer. Many of their food items are smoked in house and very worth the visit.

Vintage Cocktail Bar
With its extensive cocktail list, Vintage is a must visit. The approachable prices and welcoming environment are paired with true craft cocktails. One of our favorites is the Resting Witch Face made with Los Vecinos Espadin mezcal, Angostura amaro, lime juice, demerara syrup, and a big cube.
