May 10, 2024 · So of course, Portland’s cocktail scene is no exception: The city’s bars often balance the approachable with the inventive — incorporating house syrups, shrubs, and bitters; barrel-aging and...

Overlook Turning 75 in summer 2022, the Alibi is one of our favorite baby boomers, born in the postwar frenzy for all things South Pacific. A tiki touchstone that’s been a standard of the karaoke scene for as long as a karaoke scene has existed, this North Portland spot is the perfect place to forget you’re not really in a tropical paradise. Inside, you are, and can belt out some Don Ho to prove it. 4024 N Interstate Ave —MS
Boise If the ironic name didn’t lay it out for you, the abundance of PBR cans should do the trick. Though it serves as the bar for the adjoined concert venue Mississippi Studios, Bar Bar is its own beast. The sprawling patio, equipped with a fire pit and a dozen or so sidewalk picnic tables, makes Bar Bar feel like a permanent block party at the center of one of the city’s busiest nightlife strips. 3943 N Mississippi Ave —MT
Humboldt With its dark interior, opening hours that barely catch the daylight in winter, and smoker- and dog-friendly shaded patio, the Florida Room is a real grown-up bar, but for grown-ups who like sea creature murals, a back-room photo booth, pinball, a vending machine that includes mystery items from She Bop!, spiked slushies, and saucy marquee messages. 435 N Killingsworth St —MS
Concordia Bar Cala is, no doubt, a place to be seen. But pink neon and vibey tropical plants aside, this place knows how to put together a warm-weather cocktail 365 days a year. Expect loud music, cross your fingers you won’t have to wait in line to get in, order the Tepaché Mode drink once you do, and snack on Bar Cala-monogrammed chips while you sip the fermented pineapple cocktail sitting on a gold stool at the bar. 2703 NE Alberta St —MT
Laurelhurst Once a mini-empire with so many locations they had to be numbered (RIP to Chopsticks 3: How Can Be), the surviving Chopsticks remains the ultimate neighborhood karaoke bar with a little something extra. Expect a celebratory, not show-offy, scene. 3390 NE Sandy Blvd —MS
Concordia As you might expect from power couple Kyle Linden Webster, bartender supreme, and Naomi Pomeroy, star Portland chef, the bar bites here are just as much of a draw as the craft cocktails. While the two-cheeseburger plate is perfect for sharing, our go-to dish is the crackly wonton nachos with Thai chile–kissed Velveeta, lime leaf, lemongrass beef, and mint. 5424 NE 30th Ave —KCH
Northwest District Oysters and bubbles are the draw at this tucked-down-an-alley wine bar. What might be the longest list of tinned fish options (eight) in the city, and a much longer wine list make Bar Diane a go-to west-side spot for a classed-up happy hour. Entrance through the gate next to 645 NW 21st Ave —MT
Northwest District The diminutive M Bar has long been a favorite haunt of this town’s ink-stained wretches, and one glance at the tightly edited wine and beer list shows why. No froufrou cocktails here, and almost no food save a cheese plate to which you can add tinned anchovies or sardines for an upcharge. But who cares, when the pours are generous and the gossip is prime? 417 NW 21st Ave —JS
Old Town-Chinatown A SW Broadway landmark for decades, Mary’s is a souvenir-sweatshirt-worthy Portland institution, a multigenerational family business, and one of the only strip clubs in the world with a resident author. It hopped a few blocks to new home in December 2021 after a building sale, but regulars had no trouble settling right in. 503 W Burnside St —MS
Sunnyside While this bar wasn’t designed by its namesake (you have to go the Mt Angel Abbey to find the nearest Alvar Aalto building, the monastery’s library), its sleek midcentury look is a firm nod to the Finnish architect. But even if it looked like an ill-lit department store dressing room, we’d be lured in at happy hour for the $4 cocktails and $4 grilled cheese. 3356 SE Belmont St —MS
Kerns This menu-less spot has big-city cool. Northeast 28th is knee deep in bars, but Angelface stands out with its deep mix of made-how-you-like-them drinks. Action orbits around a horseshoe bar and the space blends hip speakeasy and Parisian sidewalk café vibes, making for a surprisingly approachable if not quasi-escapist experience. 14 NE 28th Ave—MT
Hosford-Abernethy The move at this breezy natural wine bar is to go with whatever they’re pouring, order a board of cheese and charcuterie, and people watch from the street-side covered patio on SE Clinton Street. The staff of wine geeks will steer you towards a glass of whichever bottle floating around the ice chest that sits on the bar they’re most excited about at the moment. Ask questions, since this spot takes a lot of the presumed exclusivity out of the natural wine game. 2615 SE Clinto...
Downtown The poster child of a hotel bar that appeals to locals, we’re especially fond of the “feeling spritz-y” section of the cocktail menu—citrus and bubbles in all kinds of creative combos. Plus, how can you not root for a place where the menu includes the express option to buy the entire room a shot? 813 SW Alder St —JS
Downtown Let’s be clear: Departure is a special-occasion, Sunday-best kind of bar. You’re paying for the view and the ambience, not just the drinks, which skew pan-Asian, like the rest of the menu. Try a 75-ish, with lychee-infused Timberline vodka and toasted coconut syrup, or pick from a long menu of sake-by-the-glass choices. 525 SW Morrison St —JS
Goose Hollow Put on something nice and round up your classy Rat Pack to meet you at this sleek midcentury bar just off the lobby of the classic-film-obsessed Hotel deLuxe. Or just treat yourself to a solo drink at the bar and do your own Hollywood time warp. 729 SW 15th Ave —MS
