Absolute best cocktails. Very small interior, but there is a great patio outside.

You will find the Bible Club inside a yellow house with no signage—save for a welcome mat and a glowing red porch light at night—Bible Club in Portland, Oregon, transports guests to the Prohibition Era with unmatched attention to detail and atmosphere. This speakeasy, located at 6716 SE 16th St, is a portal to another time, offering a sinfully delightful menu of inventive cocktails and elevated bar bites. Inside, guests are met with vintage decor, low lighting, and a bar program that rivals the best in the country. We began with two standout cocktails: the *Dreamcatcher*—a beautifully clarified milk punch made with Union Gin, Cognac, Clear Creek Pear Brandy, black pepper & bergamot tea syrup, lavender, and lemon—and the *Dead Parrot*, a bold mix of Toki Japanese Whisky, Diplomatico Rum, Smith & Cross Jamaican Rum, Amontillado Sherry, Yellow Chartreuse, and Tiki Bitters served in a gleaming silver chalice. Every element—from the glassware to the flavor profiles—was meticulously curated and expertly executed. Bible Club has secured its spot on our top 10 list, and we’re already planning our return.

Came here with some of my best friends after eating next door at PDX Sliders. We got cocktails, mocktails and dessert. Can't speak to the food but we all agreed it looked like it would be quite delicious.
My cocktial was perfect. Has all of the things I love and was so well balanced. My friends' mocktails were also so heckin' good. We got a passionfruit cake and it was so tasty.
Recommend this place for small groups for a nice cocktail and snacks/apps

Bartenders went out of their way for us and were extremely nice. Music was one of the best live performances I've been to in a while. My wife loved the chocolate mousse dessert.

I've gone here quite a few times and try to tell everyone I know about the spot. The drinks are great and it's very cozy and not too loud on the inside. The outdoor venue is also decent, but I prefer the indoor seating as they've really crafted a cool vibe inside. My favorite cocktail was seeds of sin, not sure if it's seasonal but it's delicious (boozy apple pie). The pretzel board and the pulled pork appetizers are my favorites.
The only downsides, if you can call them that, are that the inside is very small so you often have to wait for seating which can take some time. And finding a parking spot can be a hunt in this area of Sellwood sometimes. Will definitely return with friends.

10/10 would come again. Food, drinks, atmosphere, and service at A+++.
Found this place after googling “best cocktail bars in Portland” and it certainly lived up to the hype.
The Bible Club is located in Southeast PDX, just a short trip from downtown and is one of the more elevated cocktail bars I’ve been to in a while. The cocktail menu was extensive and from what I could tell, seasoned in taste and whimsy. The cocktails my partner and I chose were both extremely refined and complex, and offered a unique imbibing experience (wow I sound pretentious here!) that you may not get at lesser cocktail bars. The whole vibe was also very cool, prohibition era, in a random house that didn’t have any signage, the whole “schtick” of the place really worked and you felt like you were stepping through a portal into another time period. The service was also excellent, as I felt our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable, enough so that I requested a cocktail - bartenders choice. It was sweet and bitter and smokey and exactly what I was looking for but didn’t have the words to ask for.
All in all, Bible Club is a slam dunk and I HIGHLY recommend going if you’re visiting Portland. If you’re from Portland and you haven’t been here…what are you even doing?
Thanks, Bible Club!

Wonderful cocktails, friendly bartenders, good food, great decor. The only negatives are uncomfortable chairs and very high noise level when busy.
