The Best Bars in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"The lively-vibed, sultrily-lit subterranean bar from Top Chef darling and James Beard Award winner Gregory Gourdet is far more than a waiting room for the perpetually booked Kann upstairs; Sousòl is a destination in its own right, serving drinks and snacks leaning heavily on ingredients and flavors from the Caribbean with creative additions. The Heron Vet Milk Punch pairs rum agricole and pear spirit with melon and salted plum. For sustenance, seek out Trinidadian doubles of the sausage corn dog, though the menu may shift with the seasons. And pro tip: It is infinitely easier to get a reservation here." - Rebecca Roland
