"Ladd’s Addition is blessed with proximity to dozens of the eastside’s best watering holes, but it must be difficult to trek any further than the adjacent Deadshot, one of Portland’s most creative cocktail joints. Talented bartenders prepare impeccably balanced classics alongside daring originals featuring unconventional ingredients like mustard, sesame, cabbage, fish sauce, and ham. Food comes from a rotating cast of guest stars, with Filipino Sunrice as the regular. Note: between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve, Deadshot hosts the Santa-themed “Miracle” pop-up — adjust expectations accordingly." - Nathan Williams
