"For Someday owner Graham Files, who’s been in the Portland bar scene since his days at Lutz Tavern right out of college, a good off-the-clock bar is the kind you can lose time in. “I could have coffee and lunch and a cocktail and maybe a glass of wine and then dinner,” Files says. “Just, like, the opportunity to get lost and accidentally spend a day in a spot.” For him Sapphire Hotel exemplifies this sort of candlelit timelessness, and the casual ambiance and inventive cocktail menu have made it a coveted date spot among Upper Hawthorne’s cluster of divider drinking destinations." - Ben Coleman
