Hapa Barkada, a Hawaiian and Filipino Culinary Collaboration, Opens Within a Subterranean Cocktail Bar This Month - Eater Portland
"Below by Botanist — from co-owners Johnny Wessels, Mike Truong, and Andrew Murdoch — wanted their bar to feel a little livelier than the typical craft cocktail bar, and the new bar feels that way. Walking the line between a club and a lounge, the space is decked out in greens and faux plants, music thumping within a space wrapped in tropical flora wallpaper. The cocktails, meant to be fun and accessible, also include a drink named for Hapa Barkada, made with Filipino rum and pandan." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
