50 Best Cocktail Bars near West Linn

“We love this place! We eat here regularly, and truly enjoy the food, cocktails, service, and ambiance. The black cod miso yaki is our favorite dish - it's delicious and I highly recommend it. The veggie and shrimp tempura is the best I've ever had, with an interesting mix of eggplant, mushrooms, squash, lotus root, and onions - all lightly battered and served with a delightful dipping sauce (pour the dipping sauce on the black cod, it's so good). The cocktails, especially the Japanese 75 and the shiso gin drink (I can't think of the name), are well-balanced and mixed properly, and are very yummy. I tell everyone I know to try this place! Some of the food can seem adventurous if you're not familiar with Japanese fare, but it's all delicious and beautifully presented. Finally, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the owner is a very sweet and funny lady. All around, Sushi Kuni is a great dining experience and I highly recommend checking it out.“

“Eldens has a great atmosphere with friendly staff and delicious food! ( their beet salad and homemade chicken noodle soup is amazing!)“

“What a lovely place! A perfect spot for a cozy lunch on a blustery day. And the food was fantastic, mushroom soup, chicken pot pie, truffle fries (amazing), and creme brulee for dessert. It's so easy to get there, we'll be back soon!“

“I've been going to 503 for years. The food is well prepared and consistent, and the staff is exceptional. The owner really enjoys good wine and there are lovely selections by the glass and bottle. Periodically there are special discounts on exceptional bottles of wine available...“

“always a great experience“

“The food was pretty good and had a nice vegan salad, the drink was strong. Though the service wasn’t all that great because the waitress wouldn’t stop rubbing up on my dates back, and yea it was clearly intentional. I gave her a look each time and finally she realized I was noticing her flirting with my date. That was incredibly rude.“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“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.“

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

“We love this place! Great food and excellent cocktails! We have been coming here for a few years now and are always pleased! Unfortunately they have had some staff turnover and lost some great people, however Cat is there and she is awesome!!!! Price is great for what you get!“

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

“The food, the cocktails are great along with the staff. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.“

“Love the drinks and overall vibes! Super unique entrance…I won’t spoil it ;)“

“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.“

“The bar tender went out of his way to help me. My car has a wind break that covers the back seat. I took the piece out of the car and he stored it for me so I would not have to go back to the room. Then we were late getting back from dinner, he stayed until we got back. As expected from the Crown Plaza. The best service.“

“☺️ 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!“

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

“A friend and I went for drinks and did not eat. The ambiance is great, the place has a nice vibe. There was music, but it was in the background and did not make conversation difficult, as it should be in this kind of establishment. Service and drinks were good. We will go back soon!“

“Friendly fun staff. Great beverages and food. Nice vibe.“

“Amazing food and service! Love love this place!!!“

“The food at Mestizo is fantastic. Great customer service, creative drinks, and as a bonus, everything is gluten and soy free.“

“I've. eaten all over Southeast Asia including street amrt I've eaten at many Southeast Asian restaurants, including in Cambodia, Malaysia and Laos, and can unequivocally say this is one of the best meals I've ever had. Starters to dessert, the food was unique, inspired and full of multiple flavors. Bravo and five stars!“

“Travel the world through cased meat! BEST“

“Best bar in SE! Those Andrews took the best care of us with phenomenal craft cocktail & delicious food. Thanks for the great evening from me and the wife 😘💗😘“

“Goodbar should be Greatbar. Laurie, the owner, is delightful. There need to be more Laurie's in the world. Their namesake burger hit the spot, their fries are delicious, and their fried pickle spears are a perfect late night treat. We will definitely be back.“

“Lovely spot, lovely food, lovely people.“

“Get to Stumptown and try it!!“

“Beautiful space, excellent cocktails, great music! The owner served up some delicious cocktails for me and wine for my date. We enjoyed our conversation while a good selection of classic rock played in the background. Comfortable seating inside, a few tables outside. The food smelled amazing so I'll definitely be eating next time I come by.“

“I love this place! I could get a cup of coffee anywhere but this shop has become more than just great food and drinks - it’s a place for neighbors to gather and the owners have fully invested themselves in our community. Love the breakfast sandwiches, my daily coffee and Friday evenings on their back lawn with a beer and friends!“

“10 stars! One of my absolute favorite restaurants the food is fabulous. Every time we are in Lake Oswego we stop for breakfast or lunch.“

“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.“

“This was our first time here and we were truly impressed. The hostess was awesome, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. There's outside seating as well. I had the hand breaded chicken stripes y husband had fish and chips. Three breading was the best I've ever had and the chicken was tender and juicy. The prices are average for this area. They have a happy hour menu for Sun-Thurs that's for lots of choices. We will definitely return.“

“Food! Service! Atmosphere! And Feeling the immediate homey comfort by staff and customers, was just what two weary travelers needed. Met our niece there for breakfast and totally a joy of a cross country trip. Have been in many places across the U S A; and this one is one of major memorable treats. BTW my niece talked me into to trying your Fabulous (Homemade) Green Monster Sauce on my egg omelette and I havent stopped talking or looking for a duplicate since visiting Portland and I live in Ohio! If any one is reading this as a world traveler, believe me when I tell you If you live, or travel in this area, you gotta treat yourself to one of their fabulous stomach filing delicious entries. Really!. Bravo, I never write any kind of reviews in the possitive, I'm old, so I bitch alot. HAHA; But this place so worth the time, the price and contributing to a small family business. Which I totlally look for in any area I visit. I totally believe in supporting family owned local businesses...not the big Guys! Bravo Midpoint. If I lived in the area you'd know me by name as a regular! God Bless. And hope this will inspire the owner into marketing her Green Monster Sauce. One of the best out there.

“Great all around experience! Got stranded here for half a day waiting for an AirBnB to open up. Was a paradise of good sandwiches and better coffee. Real neighborhood vibes where the staff seemed to know every customer that came in by name.“

“My wife and I love that we have a neighborhood bar with wonderful and well crafted cocktails, solid food menu, and excellent, skilled service.
On a summer night we went and tried 6 different cocktails of their cocktails and each one was more impressive than the last. They regularly rotate their drink menu, demonstrating their skill and diversity in making a good drink! Would recommend, will return!“

“Amy was great, we came in after dinner for some cocktails, and she definitely treated us right“

“The buttermilk fried chicken over garlic mashed potatoes and bacon collard greens. Woof! Delicious! Great line up of PNW beers and cocktails as well.“

“The food is really good and everything is well priced, but the service is non-existent. The one female bartender seemed irritated with us when we walked in. We sat at a table and ordered the food from the QR code. We also got our own water which I'm fine with. But other than bringing over the one n/a drink I ordered, neither bartender checked on us or asked how our food was. We got two salads and two sandwiches so plenty of time to check on us. The only interaction we had was with the male bartender who waa much nicer and brought our sandwiches, but still never checked in. When you close your check on your phone it defaults to 25%. For what? Why would I leave 25% for someone who didn't even speak with me and when Imt doing pretty much half the work myself? 25% is a full service restaurant gratuity and honestly If they interacted with us even a little bit I would have been fine with that. The kitchen staff brought our first food round out and they were very nice. We came in on a Friday night and it was pretty empty, (us at a table and a couple people at the bar), so it is not like they were too busy to engage. I have been here once before and it was a much better experience so not writing this place off, but tonights experience was sub par. Food was bomb though.“

“Swung in tonight to check it out! Double high fives! Great food, service and space!! Jalapeño poppers 🥳🥳 Sellwood roll🥰 sake 🌟 tap Kirin🔥 Definitely give it a try!“

“Awesome food, delicious drinks and the staff are kind and gracious.“

“If you are looking for hand crafted chocolates, this is the place to go. Just incredible!“

“Food was great. Our server was extremely friendly and inviting from the moment we sat down to after we left. The restaurant is quiet, cozy and beautifully decorated. We brought our kids and they even loved the food. I was just surprised how empty it was for a Saturday brunch. Would definitely go again and try their dinner menu.“

“I ate at Verde Cocina en la Perla while at a work conferencein Portland, Oregon. The food was so delicious that I build my entire birthday around eating there! I live in Olympia, Washington. It is over an hour drive but I will keep doing it every few months. I had Arro as my bartender and server both times. He treats you like FAMILY, and this place IS family owned. I even was introduced to the creator of the Horchata French Toast dish. It is so good I cry happy tears thinking about it. Please visit for brunch and order it, you will NOT be sad about it. I don't even use syrup on the French toast, because the Horchata sauce is so so good on its own. The chillequilles are so so good with eggs OR tofu. Arro was awesome in helping us select desserts...the flan is so dang good, and it is #vegan! My wife and I are #vegetarian, but when I went with a coworker, he said that the meat dishes are "fire." I had a drink both times, first was the mango margarita. Tastes fresh and delicious! Had the perfect amount of tequila but tasted like juice...😈 I have also ordered the Paloma. I can't tell which one is my favorite!!! Anyways, do yourself a favor and order. Trust me.“

“Great atmosphere and food. The covered seating with fire pit and table heaters were a big plus. Bartenders inside were very friendly with a great selection of beers and cocktails. Yummy assortment of carts to choose from.“

“We absolutely loved having our 55-person wedding at Bar Carlo. The owner Mel is at the same time very supportive and very low-key, which made for a smooth planning process and day-of event. The space is gorgeous, and has multiple connected wings, which allowed for the the party to morph seamlessly over the night from barside cocktail hour to outdoor patio ceremony to dinner buffet to dance floor. The space is already a beautifully decorated artwork, and Mel lets you decide how to arrange the space for your event, but you can also bring your own decorations/sound system/llama and she can handle those additions easily. The food and drinks were delicious too, and Mel was able to accommodate our entirely vegan and gluten-free menu without hesitation. Overall we loved the unique-ness, flexibility and good vibes of the space and the people of Bar Carlo, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cute and fun space for their wedding or other event. -Nicola & Lou“

“My wife and I came here searching for something good for lunch...we were not disappointed. This place was phenomenal..I had the pastrami, it was full of great flavor and my wife had the turkey swiss cranberry..she could not stop raving about this sandwich. Give this place a try..you will leave very satisfied!“

“A craft cocktail bar in a suburban Hilton. Does the ambiance leave something to be desired? Yes, but… the cocktail menu and drink quality here make it a quirky and well worth it visit. The head bartender here is clearly well trained and talented. He introduced himself and explained that he creates the seasonal menu himself. The ingredients are high quality, including homemade syrups and shrubs. He made an on the spot mocktails for our group as well as the amazing cocktails.“

“I literally live here, please bring bread, leave at back door, quack.“

“The environment was absolutely fine. Nothing too fancy but absolutely not junky. The waitress was kind. But the food was absolutely amazing! So delicious. Came really quickly nice and hot such a huge portion size that our lunch also became our dinner. Five stars for sure“
