Best Cocktail Bars in Oregon

Every bar on this page pours in Portland, so Oregon's cocktail scene is one city's story told in many styles. The best cocktail bars in Oregon run from a vintage hotel lounge to a rum bar and a modern lobby room. Teardrop Lounge ranked 48th on North America's 50 Best Bars 2022. In the Kex Hotel lobby, Jeffrey Morgenthaler and Benjamin Amberg, formerly of Clyde Common, run Pacific Standard as a tribute to the Pacific Northwest. Driftwood Room at the Hotel deLuxe has mixed cocktails for late-night guests since 1954, and Rum Club has poured since 2011. Driftwood Room runs happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m., Sunday to Thursday. These are the bars we would start with.
