Cocktails, poutine, hand pies, and a heated patio



























"Closing on Friday, October 17 capped off 13 years in business; no reason was given in the Instagram announcement, which thanked the neighborhood, regulars, and staff for everything." - Dianne de Guzman

"The Richmond Bar’s intimate patio centered around a single, circular fire pit makes this spot one of the best rainy season venues in stereotypically introverted Portland to meet new pals — what more timeless setting to make conversation than huddled around a warm fire? (For those out with existing friends or dates, heat lamps are happily available at other tables). Creative house cocktails and draft beers are supplemented by a healthy whiskey list. The small but hearty menu of pub fare is highlighted by poutine and hand pies, filled with your choice of boar or butternut squash." - Nathan Williams


"This down-to-earth Division bar is the ideal setting for a casual date. Richmond boasts a variety of aptly named cocktails, as well as a beer and wine menu; hungrier dates can share things like shoestring fries and charcuterie boards. Prefer outdoor seating? Richmond offers a heated patio out back, complete with a fire pit." - Asia Alvarez


"A solid bet on Division, the woody and wallpapered Richmond Bar has pre-prohibition vibes, but the drink list is thoroughly modern and sometimes unexpected. Visitors who gravitate toward herbal concoctions will love the Field Trip, a blend of reposado tequila, a locally made alpine liqueur, strawberry, mint syrup, and lime. The Violet Beauregarde is brighter and more citrusy, combining tequila, blueberry-lemon verbena shrub, and more lemon." - Vox Creative
