"With brick walls, warm light, and outdoor firepits, Northwest Portland’s Bantam Tavern is a cozy neighborhood bar that features solid cocktails and elevated bar food. If you’re into whiskey, take a look at the house cocktails where you’ll find a handful of drinks featuring bourbon and rye, or simply order an Angel’s Envy Manhattan the way you like it." - Vox Creative
"Open til 1 a.m. daily, this intimate Nob Hill bar runs frequent specials and seasonal menu items like Dungeness crab cake rolls with roasted fennel and salt cod croquettes with smoked paprika remoulade. Those intimidated by such fussy late-night snacks can stick to staples like burgers and shishito peppers. Another bonus: The bar pours palomas and slings $2 tacos on Tuesdays." - Thom Hilton
"Interurban’s west-side sister shop extended outside seating into the parking lot to create a very large patio for visitors." - Alex Frane
"Hosts at Bantam Tavern in Northwest Portland were turning people away during peak hours and collecting phone numbers to seat guests later, with waits as long as an hour to an hour and a half; like other bars, staff were relearning service under new protocols, and patrons were generally understanding and happy to be back." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"I picked up American standards — burgers, mac and cheese, and fried chicken sandwiches — from this Northwest bar and even tried their low‑proof cocktails in mason jars (Cocchi spritzes, white sangria) during takeout hours." - Alex Frane
