9 Portland Hotel Bars Ideal for a Mid-Week Drink

"Kex opened into the teeth of the pandemic in late 2019, only to close again until early summer 2021. Like the Woodlark, the hotel offers two distinct hotel bar options: downstairs at Dottír, a Euro-Icelandic-retro playground of antique interior design, and upstairs at Lady of the Mountain, a rooftop bar with downtempo electronic music and shimmering views of the city. Cocktails at both spots are excellent — the house-infused aquavit tasting at Dottír is particularly can’t-miss — but the unique on-tap wine menu here is the standout, drawing on close relationships to some of the Willamette Valley’s most interesting producers, including Johan Vineyards, St. Reginald Parish, and Cameron Wines." - Jordan Michelman
