Swanky retro lounge with champagne cocktails & actor martinis
"This midcentury cocktail lounge tucked inside the Hotel Deluxe, with its low ceilings and curvy bar, is a nice locale for a romantic weekend. The bar itself specializes in Champagne cocktails, as well as a lengthy Manhattan menu. Driftwood Room’s absinthe fountain service is a particularly showy special occasion treat, alongside smoked salmon rillette or roasted bone marrow." - Katrina Yentch
"This hotel bar in downtown Portland feels like a place that would be frequented by Don Draper, low-lit with a sexy banquette and compelling midcentury aesthetic. The bar is well-stocked, but really, you come here to drink a Manhattan, a Champagne cocktail, or absinthe — the menu is stacked with options for all three. Driftwood’s food menu is limited, but visitors can stay true to theme and opt for steak frites or lobster bisque." - Carrie Uffindell
"The overwhelming midcentury vibes at this bar in the Hotel Deluxe are paired with wide selections of Manhattans and Champagne cocktails, not to mention the bar’s ritzy absinthe fountain service. Those hoping to grab a bite with their drinks can choose from snacks like lobster bisque and roasted bone marrow with garlic bread." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Dark and moody with a glamorous, retro feel, a visit to the Driftwood Room located in the Hotel DeLuxe is like taking a step back in time. This isn’t the place for wild twists or crazy flavor combos — classics will serve you well here – and there are plenty of choices if you go traditional. The lounge offers six different takes on a Manhattan, with a selection of bourbons and ryes, including Angel’s Envy, plus different bitters. And if you’re undecided, you can opt to sample four variations in half-ounce sizes." - Vox Creative
"Dark, stylish, and moody, the Driftwood Room at the Hotel Deluxe is a consummate date spot, as its sleek modernist design — complete with a dark leather bar top and white tufted leather booths — helps set the stage for a romantic night out. The drinks lend to this atmosphere, focusing mainly on bubbly Champagne cocktails and dark, lush Manhattan variations. Seasonal cocktails, like hibiscus Sazeracs and cucumber-lime gimlets, round out the menu. Those hoping to grab a bite with their drinks can choose from snacks like steak frites with horseradish-chive butter, creamy lobster bisque, and roasted bone marrow with garlic bread." - Alex Frane
