Eat and Drink Your Way Through the Columbia River Gorge

"Opened in 2019, the Society Hotel in Bingen is an excellent place to sip on an Aperol spritz and nestle into a comfy lounge chair surrounded by a crackling fire and shelves upon shelves of books. The establishment, originally built as a school in 1937, is tucked away from the main street and draws mostly those who seek it out, meaning that for now, it’s still a hidden gem. Here you’ll find timeless cocktails like a classic daiquiri served up or a refreshing Pimm’s Cup paired with new-age mocktails made with nonalcoholic herbal spirits. The café and lounge also offers local beer and wine, sandwiches, and simple snacks." - Melissa Haskin, Molly Allen
