50 Best Cocktail Bars near Happy Valley

“Carlos went above and beyond. Good service all around, we shall be back again!“

“Fun and the lemon drops are fantastic!“

“Great vibes to share a drink and have a conversation.“

“Dead shot was an amazing experience. The point of the pallet is to set the tone and let the masters decide your fate. You won't be disappointed, humbled and ready for my next visit.“

“I'm a sucker for cute glassware, and they've got it. I went in the evening and had the cutest spooky themed espresso martini. It's not my favorite drink just as a personal preference but I'm glad I tried it here. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff!“

“Thank you guys for a phenomenal birthday experience! The food was yummy, the drinks were delicious, the service was unparalleled! Beautiful atmosphere, great music. Clean, cute, private bathrooms (not your average bar). Not to mention the max is RIGHT next door.
I can't wait to come back! Thank you all for everything!!“

“Tried the Rum Club on a whim while staying down the street and can't wait to go back! The happy hour punch was a steal at $5 and the pineapple fried rice was a huge portion for 2 of us to share. We also tried both the Burning Son & Doors and Corners cocktails, both were delicious. Service was great, friendly and attentive.“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“A very cozy bar to hang out in, with extra seating in the back. Love that they have some NA mixed drink options. They have a couple vegan food options (fries, salad, pickles), and I’ll admit those fries are BOMB, would love a couple more options like a vegan burger or hush pups?? Happy to have a great new neighborhood haunt.“

“I frequented this place a lot over the years, it’s nice and intimate inside and a great place for a date night. We don’t usually order food but the cocktails are straight forward and well mixed. It’s not the best place in town to order a cocktail, but it is the best place in “

“We've been to Raven's Manor twice - first for Circus Obscura which was a 1000/10 experience - entertainment was enjoyable and the drinks were incredible. Obsessed with drinks in a cauldron! The second visit was for their Elixir Experience which I highly recommend. There's a little escape room followed by a laboratory area where you follow recipes to create your own cocktail. You can also enjoy your food and cocktails in a private dining area after the laboratory. The closest thing I have to a complaint is that vegan food options are limited and generally just okay. Everything else is perfection.“

“We visited Wonderly with friends and had an incredible night. It's super cozy, quiet, and relaxing. Their drinks are perfect, and the bartenders are very attentive and willing to recommend the best. Perhaps they should have longer hours; they close at 11.“

“Amazing cocktails, decor and bartenders.“

“Fun spot. With decent drinks. Good for a stop.“

“Awesome venue and great atmosphere“

“Food = didn't have any

Service = top notch , warm welcomes, and ready to support with hospitality

Atmosphere = really cool vibe , nicely done interior feel, dim lighting , good dj and music , awesome bar set up.

Drinks = decent spread of some draft beers and loads of specialty drinks.

Would recommend a stop in. I was traveling from Detroit and gave this place my stamp of approval for vibe check! ?“

“The Cypress room is a hybrid little side room, half bar, half restaurant (and thus minor friendly), just across from the main Courtyard restaurant, specializing in light bites, desserts, brews and cocktails. Unlike Honors, Detention, and the Boiler Room, it's open *most* of the time, with no real blackout times or dates (other than the early morning), making it among the most accessible, thus it's probably the room in which I've spent the most time at the Kennedy School, other than the soaking pool.Service is usually quick and attentive; easy to do in a cozy little space like this. And as its just one piece of the McMenamins pie, the prices and quality of drinks and food are the same as you'll find elsewhere on campus. If your visit to the Kennedy School involves coming early, or bringing kids, you're probably going to find yourself in the Cypress Room at some point!

Kid-friendliness: Minor friendly (and the only "bar" on campus that is).“

“Wildfire and apple cider is so good. Had to buy a case.“

“Unbelievable amazing food lobster pad Thai was unreal Annie was a great server“

“A very fun place to spend your joint bachelor and bachelorette trip at! Environment gets a bit rough later into the night, but that's to be expected in that part of Portland. Awesome drinks. Super awesome selection of music, super fun!“

“all I can think saying is it’s delicious every spoonful come out and have some …delicious I promise“

“Absolutely amazing tasty food! We had the tacos and instantly fell in love. I could cry with how good it was. The hosts and staff were so friendly and accommodating all around great atmosphere and learning their story made it all the more heart opening. Thank you so much 🫶🫶🫶🙏“

“Great atmosphere, delicious food. Well have to come back soon.“

“Reminds me of NYC, really cool place to grab a drink. Turns info a nightclub after 10 PM“

“The pineapple mojito is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Atmosphere was really off though. It was earlier on a Saturday night and there’s no dance floor but there was early aughts hip hop (not the really good kind tho) playing at earsplitting levels. The decor and concept would make for a really chill spot if they could get a right musical fit. Service was excellent though!“

“I didn't go to the tasting room itself, but encountered the satellite stall on the way to my gate! I didn't catch the name of the gentleman working there, but it was around 6pm on Saturday, November 1st.
He was very helpful, super friendly, and knowledgeable about the product! He made the wait for my flight a lot more bearable - the whiskey helped too.
Hoping to check out the distillery on my next trip to Portland!“

“One of the chillest Foxy's around! Good vibes, awesome workers, great prices on drinks and smokes. If you need a more relaxed night than what most pubs can offer, then this is your spot. They have an awesome lounge area that is hardly ever used so it's always an awesome choice. Definitely give them a look cause they are so much more than what you expect a gambling den to be.“

“Delicious & immaculately presented, robust drink menu and Tapas done right 😋“

“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.“

“Love this place. We've been a few times and both the drinks and desserts are so so delicious! Recommend reservations but not required. Seating is a little tight for larger parties, but I've seen them make it work. Ideal for parties of 2-3.“

“I regret I did not take any pictures, but when the palate is filled with tasty treats one forgets. This is a must fold experience of you have never been. Flavors galore, the dumplings, all of them, are a must and the appetizers are deelish and fun to boot. We,are lucky to have this spot in Portland, it's a treat“

“Great atmosphere with great cocktails. The food was amazing! We tried the burger and kale Caesar. It wasn’t until I was leaving I noticed they overcharged me for my drink!!! They fixed it, but the vibe felt intentional. Keep an eye out on your bill!“

“This is an upscale restaurant that hosts two seating per night. We arrived for our 5PM reservation and were greeted promptly as promised. From the moment we arrived we were treated with deference and care. Every staff member, as well as Chef Adams, was thoughtful of our needs and anticipated them before we could ask. The restaurant itself is charming and eclectic. Framed art, potted plants, serve ware and an abundance of cookbooks are arranged neatly creating an atmosphere of warmth and welcome. We were fortunate enough to be seated at the Chef's counter and enjoyed engaging, knowledgeable and informative conversation throughout our visit. Our reservation was for the seven course spring menu and as soon as the first appetizer arrived we knew we were in for an outstanding experience. Each course was thoughtfully and meticulously prepared. Each dish was an explosion of flavor and always a delight! The creative combinations of flavors and textures left us in awe of Chef Aaron's skill and creativity. The attention to each detail, recipes, hospitality, plating and ambiance was impeccable. We could not have been more impressed. We hope to return again and again!“

“There’s new menu items all the time, making it exciting to come back and try new things. It does make ordering a bit of a gamble though, so definitely ask your waiter questions like what’s popular. The cocktails in my opinion are okay, but I don’t mind since they’re pretty inexpensive. Updated from previous review on 2025-04-01“

“Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.“

“Awesome tortas! They use great quality ingredients, the way they prepare their chicken is delicious.“

“☺️ Husband took me here for date night last weekend and it was a lovely time. Our server was so helpful and friendly, the food was tasty and we had plenty of time to chat and enjoy each other's company. Thank you!“

“You cannot say anything bad about please place, sorry. They are one of the best kept secrets in Portland.“

“The owner is super nice and friendly. I love the decorations. Very warm and inviting. Feels like you are in HaNoi. Food is authentic. Good place to go to for special occasion or hang out with friends.“

“OMG, fresh house made tortillas! so good“

“Amazing breakfast! Classic w a delicious delivery- can’t recommend highly enough“

“I can't stop thinking about the celery salad and the warm olives“

“So fun! They have literally hundreds of games including DK bongos and the infamous power glove. The treetrunks apple pie slushie literally tasted like applesauce, definitely dangerous. The food slapped and the staff were great. Come play monkeyball and have fun“

“Friendly service with a great atmosphere. I absolutely loved the salmon dinner, and the drinks are top notch. Thank you De Fuego Grille. See you again soon.“

“Really good upscale and authentic Mexican. Drinks are spot on. The deck in the warm months is very enjoyable. Indoor atmosphere needs a bit of work. Lower lighting and lots of candles would go along way! Definitely eat here!“

“This was our second time at this lovely lounge. Perfect for romantic date nights or a quiet ladies night. We ordered the farmers board and tried a handful of cocktails all were delicious!“

“Small neighborhood breakfast I first tried 10+ years ago and remembered it being delicious. My visit recently proved to be just as good, the ethnic twist on the food options is amazing and I love the small waiting area/entry and packed restaurant. It adds to the appeal.“

“Went here last night for dinner and it’s hands down now our favorite dumpling restaurant ? the food was AMAZING, we definitely ordered with our stomachs. I will say the pork and cabbage wontons, as well as the crab and pork I think, were our least favorite. The crab one was a bit too fishy. Other than that everything was 10/10. The chili wontons, wonton soup, pork & chive, green beans, cucumber salad are sooo yummy. I’ll definitely go out of my way and drive over an hour to come back here again. The service was fast, and our waiter was super friendly and even helped us pack all our leftovers.“

“Excellent service and the best food!“
