The Essential Portland Cocktail Bars Where You Can Sip Something Exceptional

"From the bartenders who brought you the Old Gold, Holy Ghost is the only bar of its kind in the neighborhood: spacious, stylish, and an agave fan’s dream, with a wide range of Ranch Waters, margaritas in flavors like elderberry basil or calamansi tamarind, and single-varietal espadín picked out by the staff in Oaxaca. Drinks can get sillier or more serious, depending on the vibe; partiers may prefer Double Bubble-infused vodka shots or large-format cocktails served in teapots; solitary sippers can stick to an Old Fashioned variation or even a nonalcoholic fizz made with faux gin and orange blossom water." - Alex Frane, Eater Staff
