Teardrop es un nombre que siempre surge de cualquier lista de los mejores bares de Portland, y tiene fantásticos cócteles para ofrecer. La elaboración de cócteles es un arte, y aquí se lo toma muy en serio. La barra circular es el hogar de los ingredientes imaginativos que sin dudas le darán vida a cualquier bebida que se elija. Ofrecen bebidas como el Courting Disaster (Ron Zacapa, limón, miel y curaçao Pierre Ferrand) y el Satan's Mustache, Shaved (Mezcal Vida, cointreau, amargos y vermut dulce y seco).

True to its name, this cocktail bar manages to slip a little bit of rum into pretty much every concoction, and the result is quite fantastic. The Rum Club exudes a warm, cozy vibe, and the dark interior is just perfect for relaxing with an expertly crafted cocktail in hand. The Rum Club Daiquiri, Rum Club Old Fashioned and The Fino Countdown are just three of the many excellent rum cocktails. If you want a cocktail sans rum, you could opt for the many beer, wine and cider varieties available here as well.

When Portland's beloved Thatch Tiki Bar closed its doors in May 2012, it paved the way for the next popular venture, Hale Pele. This establishment stayed in theme with the former one and began welcoming guests into its tropical ambiance a few months later. Hale Pele serves an array of tropical concoctions, ranging from strong drinks like Fog Cutter, Three Dots and a Dash and Zombie Punch to mild ones like Leilani Volcano and Missionary's Downfall. The house special Sailor's Grog, which will blow your mind away, is a must try.

Acclaimed bartender, Kyle Linden Webster, of St. Jack fame, and Naomi Pomeroy, celebrity chef and owner of Beast, have joined forces to create a casual lounge where guests can have a good time. Their collaboration resulted in the establishment of Expatriate, which opened its doors in mid-2013. Webster's creative concoctions deliciously complement the food prepared by Pomeroy. The place has been beautifully designed by Matthew Peterson; dim lighting surrounds the elegant furnishing, creating an ideal dining ambiance.
