"Behind this Northwest Portland restaurant and bar lies Bar West’s North Room, a 1,000-square-foot event space that can seat 70 (or accommodate 100 for a standing, cocktail-party-style event). The space is beautiful, with cork floors, exposed beam ceilings, and plenty of natural light. The restaurant’s in-house catering changes significantly based on the seasons, but meals at Bar West could include everything from porchetta meatballs to almond olive oil cake with cara cara marmalade. More information can be found online." - Rebecca Roland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
