Whiskey Bars in Portland, OR

“This is a hidden gem. Service was great. Enthusiastic and welcoming. Drinks were served swiftly and competently. Menu is conservative but still fun to explore. My club and French fries were satisfying. Was thrilled to see actual chicken meat in my sandwich and not sliced deli meat. Lots of real avocado, bacon and grilled thickly sliced sour dough made it a meal. Beet salad to start was dressed a bit heavily but delicious nonetheless.
This is a small space with only me and my 4 comrades and another party about the same size sat directly next to us. Why?
Would be nervous to see this place filled as I'd worry about hearing conversation.
My friends told me that both servings of garlic fries weren't hot. And my other friend did not get his requested avocado on his burger. Also, we were celebrating a birthday and don't think they serve dessert as none was offered.
Also, I assume you can park in motel lot for dining. If so, that's a bonus in NW!“

“Excellent whiskey bar. Good selection of whiskeys and full bar options with attention to detail and balance on cocktails. They take their cocktails very seriously which is appreciated. And atmosphere is unique— old library feel with brass book shelf wheeled ladders (for liquor though), leather seats, and large wood slated floors. Food was so so, but highly recommend for drinks.“

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

“Definitely enjoyed it. Looking forward to going back.“

“As a non-whiskey drinker, I found this place entertaining and informative. We went on the request of family and it was a fun experience for everybody. The chocolates accompanying the flights were an added bonus. They featured different flight options and we chose the whiskey and cocktail Flights. Overall, a good experience and fun to do with friends and family.“

“What a great spot to hang out. Food and drinks are fabulous. Paydirt is dark and sexy with a huge selection behind the bar. Bartenders are friendly. Sitting outside is fun when the weather is right. Choice of food is awesome. Mexican, fried chicken, pizza, pho, it’s all good. Parking is street and we were a block away but not too far.“

“The food here was honestly amazing 😋🔥. The brisket was the real highlight of the meal — it was incredibly flavorful, tender, and absolutely delicious. You can tell it was cooked with care because every bite tasted perfect. It’s definitely something I would order again without hesitation.

Along with the brisket, we also tried the grilled cheese, the tater tots, and the mac and cheese. Everything tasted great and made the meal feel extra satisfying 🧀🍽️. The grilled cheese was warm and comforting, the tots were crispy, and the mac and cheese was rich and creamy.

The only small downside was the wait time. It seemed like they could use a few more servers because the line got pretty long at times. Still, once we finally got the food, it was absolutely worth it. Overall, a really tasty experience that I’d happily repeat 👍✨.“

“Great place. Great atmosphere and super good drinks!“

“We went at the end of the night. We kind of felt the workers were ready to go home. The pizza spot itself if small but there’s space to sit on the patio.

The pizza was so good. It’s just all very thin dough and the bad part is there’s a lot of burnt pieces on the crust so we just picked those pieces out.

If you want to get free water, you have to go through the bar right next to it .
Overall, it was a great time“

“EXCELENTE COMIDA Y PRECIOS“

“Not only did every drink I get from here absolutely slap, but there was a girl in pink, who went out of her way to find me what I needed in order to have a wonderful night. Every bartender that served me was polite and courteous, and made a wonderful drink.. if I could write service more, I would“

“Randomly found this place when the restaurant we wanted to go to was booked. I was very surprised that it was inside a hotel. The food was so good with great flavor combinations. And they made an excellent old fashioned and even a fancy mocktail! I would eat here again next time I see a show at the Keller center. And easy walk to the show.“

“This place was awesome we came in early morning right when they opened while out on a job the food came out awesome. As we ate the food everything was savory and cooked well definitely worth a stop I will be coming back here again overall exceptional 😋 👌“

“The staff were so amazing here. They really cared about everyone enjoying their dishes and drinks. On top of the friendly staff the drinks were amazing! Didn’t stay for food but it looked yummy. We’ll be back for more soon!“

“Really cool space! They have a fun little play & dining area for kids. This area contains a little kitchen and an assortment of play food. Kids can also watch the planes take off.

Friendly service.

Food is tasty but the servings are rather small.“
