"The elegant Scotch Lodge ups the ante on its rarified atmosphere with a selection of eye-popping whiskeys (in both rarity and price), as well as some more affordable drams and terrific cocktails for those whose obsessions don’t include peat-sourcing. Decorated like the home bar hideout of an exiled Romanov, the inner eastside’s Scotch Lodge offers an inviting menu of original cocktails — with plenty of gin, mezcal, and rum drinks alongside the dominant whiskeys — as well as a food menu creative and well-executed enough to regularly land it on best of Portland lists. It’s a sensory escape from the world above in almost every aspect. Wheelchair access is through the south entrance of the building." - Nathan Williams
