We did pre drinks and appetizers on an early Friday night, before the wine hour started in the lobby, at the Bacchus Bar. The bar is directly connected to the lobby, but it feels well separated from the front desk/check in area. I am terrible with names, but our server at the Bacchus Bar was very sweet and informative on any menu questions we had. Since we came in during happy hour, the appetizers were half off. I think there may have been a drink special as well, but the cocktail menu was not on special. They had interesting drinks that I would have loved to try, but my wife and I decided to split a bottle of champagne. Our server brought out and bottle and playfully displayed it for us. This place feels upscale, but it also has the laid back, fun, Portland vibe. Our server, (I wish I remembered her name) also had a bottle stand to keep our champagne near us, and in ice.We never had to reach for the bottle anyway, since our server was quick to refill our glasses for us.
For the appetizer, we shared the crab appetizer, which was two decent slices of toast covered in a good amount of crab, avocado slices, and lemon. This was the perfect amount of food for a little something for our tummies while we drank our champagne. It was light and delicious, and went well with our champagne.
