"Mike and Courtney Nierengarten, the owners of Oregon-based distillery Dregs Vodka, opened Tini’s in January — a Portland tasting room on NW 23rd, pouring flights of mini-cocktails and selling bottles of its branded vodka. The venue donates 100 percent of the profits from the bar and distillery to nonprofits specifically working with low-income youth, including organizations like Portland-based P:ear Mentor, Friends of the Children, and SMART Reading. The cocktail menu is designed by local bartender Jon Davidson and evolves over time, offering unique mini-cocktails showcasing Dregs vodka." - Maya MacEvoy
