Multnomah Whiskey Library

Portland, Oregon

Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards: World's Best Spirits Selection (Top 4: 2016, 2015).

Multnomah Whisk{e}y Library sits above Southwest Alder Street and describes itself as dedicated to the art of spirits, cocktails, and service. Bottles climb the walls of the main room, and the house keeps separate menus for cocktails and for the long list of whiskies behind them. The adjoining Green Room works as the easier, more casual counterpart, with its own menu and a later last call. The Library runs Tuesday through Sunday and the Green Room Tuesday through Saturday, with Sunday service at the Library added from Labor Day weekend onward. Reservations are handled through the bar, and a sister account covers the Green Room.
