Angel Face

Portland, Oregon

Angel Face is a small room on Northeast 28th Avenue that makes classic cocktails from scratch, with a food menu and a wine list running alongside the spirits. The bar is run by Fara Fortier and the kitchen by James Melendez. Seating is first come, first served, with no reservations taken, and there is space both indoors and out. The room opens at 4:30pm every day, closing at 11pm from Sunday through Thursday and at midnight on Friday and Saturday. It is the kind of bar where guests describe what they like and let the bartender build from there, which keeps the list fluid through the seasons.
