"What used to be Vintage Cocktail Lounge is now Arbor Hall, Montavilla’s neighborhood bar for the spirit geek. The library of a back bar is stocked with around 400 individual bottles, transformed into cocktails that show off quite a bit of technique — clarified margaritas appear alongside a cucumber-shiso Collins perked up with lime acid. Bartenders here are far from pretentious, however; classic cocktails get just as much attention here, and the happy hour still includes cocktails with single-digit prices." - Rebecca Roland

"This Montavilla cocktail bar balances its neighborhood vibe with serious bartending technique, using house infusions and lime acid to add complexity to drinks. The team here clarifies the house margarita, which softens the acidity of the lime and kick of the tequila for a smoother cocktail. Plus, the drink arrives clear in a glass, which is “pretty nifty,” in the words of the menu." - Alex Frane, Eater Staff

Where to Find Portland’s Most Enticing Margaritas

"Taking over from the beloved, departed Vintage, Arbor Hall boasts a similarly expansive selection of whiskeys — among other drams — in a bit less stuffy setting. Sip a house special cocktail like the sweet-and-sour Stardust (aged rum, rye, vermouth) or timeless classics like Corpse Reviver #2. Or, particularly on slower nights, share a favorite drink or two with your bartender and let them work their magic. Happy hour from 4-6 pm features a limited selection of stellar cocktails for just $9. The food is lovingly crafted but limited to a handful of sandwiches and bar snacks." - Janey Wong, Nathan Williams

This absolute neighborhood gem is my favorite place to unwind after a long work day. I always love seeing my favorite smiling faces when I walk in, not to mention the fabulous cocktails. Whether you like 'em fruity or boozy (or both), they've got you covered! The food is also supremely delicious, don't skip over the warm pretzel with cheese sauce or the vegan curry lettuce cups. The sandwiches are out of this world!

The owner of Bone Jax down the street recommended Arbor Hall to me and for that, I’ll always be grateful! Arbor Hall has quickly become my favorite neighborhood spot in Montavilla. The staff & owners are friendly, and the vibes are relaxed & cozy. The cocktails are all funky, interesting & thoughtful. I’ve loved the clear margarita, the nocino colada, and the whiskey selection. The warm pretzel is locally made and perfectly salty, pairing with white cheese & chive dip. My absolute favorite sandwich is called “The Spicy Gobbler” (what a name!) and is a spicy turkey & cranberry delight that I crave at least once a week. Food & cocktail prices are very fair for the quality. Glad to have Arbor Hall as my new local haunt.

This is a fantastic bar! Great atmosphere, friendly attentive service, tasty food and outstanding cocktails! We stopped in on a Friday night, the place was pretty busy, but we lucked out and scored two stools at the end of the bar. Even with the good sized crowd Taylor, Nathan and Becca did a great job making sure all of our needs were taken care of quickly and with a smile. We wound up trying three rounds of cocktails and two sandwiches and everything was excellent! Can't wait to go back!

Came here on a Friday evening and it was pretty busy. There’s a small indoor area and some covered outdoor seating outside. Great place to grab a drink with a good selection of artisanal cocktails.

My family and I come here regularly, and each time we've been served by the proprietor Becca, who is always an absolute delight. Food selection is a bit limited, but everything I've had has been very good (shout-out to spicy gobbler and roast beast), and the cocktails are well-made and delicious. Can't recommend highly enough!

Arguably the BEST cocktail bar in Portland. Owner/bartender Nathan's cocktails are simply amazing. Google "Forbes clarified margarita" That is him!His wife, Becca, and himself and bartender Taylor offer the best service in a comfortable and cozy neighborhood bar. Love it so much!

Yes, it’s still Vintage. Well kinda. It’s got the hand crafted artisanal cocktails and the vintage lounge vibes, but it also has not-so-new and amazing owners that offer a welcoming comfortable and conversational environment. Food offerings are mostly small plates, but high quality ingredients and fun twists on contemporary classics. Old fashioned cocktails, classics, and experimental takes all done to perfection.

There are only a few places in town where I will gladly spend my cocktail money and Arbor Hall is by far my favorite! Their cocktails hit the nail on the head every time. They are unexpected and perfectly executed. (Seriously, the descriptions don't do them justice!! A special shout out to Brass Tacks, El Presidente, and the clarified Margarita.) Ordering off menu (or a bartender’s choice based on your mood) also does not disappoint. The spirit selection behind the bar is extensive and impressive. Last time we also got the cheese board which surprised me with its candied nuts and extra delicious accoutrements. The two owners are down-to-earth and genuinely excited about what they do with zero pretentiousness or too-cool-for-school vibes. Finally, somewhere I can just have a good cocktail and be myself—second best only to being at home watching TV in my PJs. ;) I’m in love. See you there tonight!?

Not sure how long it's been Arbor Hall and not Vintage but it seems very much the same (as in the placement of bottles on the bar, the menu chalkboard and the expertise). I asked for a recommendation as I usually did at the former iteration and was given a tasty bourbon that met my criteria! I think this bar is a real treasure I never heard anyone tout before but I'll keep coming back when I am looking for a recommendation! My partner also asked for a smoky scotch and tried the smokiest they had, braughladdich. It was incredibly smoky, in a black on black bottle. They have some fun unusual pours! Hope they stick around for a long time!

I love Montavilla, but don't make it over that often. When I'm in the area, I always used to love to drop in to the Vintage Cocktail Lounge, and did so recently... except, it's the Arbol Hall now! Luckily the changes seem to be upgrades. The tiki bar theme lends itself to a super fun drink menu with a lot of really unique offerings. I had to ask a lot of question about the various ingredients, which was fun. Some drinks come served in fun vessels (see my photo). I didn't try the food, but the options looked fine. Will be back for sure, happy to see this new business keeping some fun cocktails in the area.

Oops. It's Nathan and Becca and Taylor tending bar they now have a non-alcoholic menu with some clever names. Try the spinach dip, it's great!

Unusual, delicious cocktails and some of the nicest staff ever. Plus they were playing Prince. Love this place!

The service and special drinks are amazing. But they don't carry a lemon lime soda as a mixer. I dont care whether it is sprite, starry, 7up, or a generic but not carrying a basic ingredient of many cocktails is a desperate move to charge more money for the simplest drinks. This, obviously, has nothing to do with the staff so I don't blame them but the buyer seems like a cheap snob to cut off basic cocktails because you are so consumed with being cool.

This is a lovely place with award-winning bartenders serving up delicious cocktails at a great price. The bar is intimate and welcoming. The staff answered all my questions and all were very modest for having such a wide array of offerings and knowledge! There's plenty of outdoor seating for groups as well. They have hot dogs and other bar food as well.

Stellar cocktails are a great draw! Small bar menu with just enough variety. Quick service even on busy nights.

I moved to Portland in July and this quickly became my home bar once I found it in December. The owners and bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and talented. The bar has a huge selection of options. The menu is thoughtful and they are adding new drinks and food options which are always great to try. I made it my mission to try every drink on the menu (recently completed said mission) and the award winning (literally) panda punch created by one of the owners is to die for with vodka or rum! After my first time at Arbor Hall I came back specifically for that drink. It's weekly spot for me and I have made several good friends coming here.

The staff and drinks are exceptional. Arbor Hall is becoming a very special place in Montavilla
