The Xport Rooftop Lounge

"This rooftop bar and lounge at the Porter Portland Hotel makes for a great weekend night out or special get-together thanks to its club-like atmosphere (think colorful lights and thumping DJ sets), fancy fare, and, of course, splashy downtown vistas. Glossy high-rises surround the firepit-warmed outdoor patio, with views of the West Hills, the Willamette River, and the Portland skyline peeking through. Catch up with friends over cocktails, sliders, and wings either alfresco or in the vibey, window-lined indoor dining area." - Zoe Baillargeon

"From the glass fire pit outside to the neighboring glossy highrises that tower overhead, this modern rooftop lounge at the Porter Hotel in downtown exudes all the hip, cool vibes. For a weekend night out or happy hour hangout, the views of downtown, the West Hills, the Willamette River, and the Portland skyline definitely add to the hype. Views and vibes aside, the inventive cocktails, imaginative small bites, and bar grub make it a special, fancy outing all around." - Zoe Baillargeon

"Xport and its twin rooftop patios are back open for business, nestled in among the skyscrapers with a luxe outdoor bar. This downtown bar has serious nightclub vibes in the evenings, especially on weekends, but those looking for more chill vibes and an amazing view of the river and the surrounding blocks can head in earlier in the day. The drinks lean more towards cocktail bar than nightclub, luckily, and there’s always some choice selections of wines and beer, as well." - Eater Staff

"Xport, the rooftop bar with two patios and ever-shifting colored mood lighting, will throw a skyline party with snacks, bubbles, and DJs. Standing room for the dance party is $85 per person, and includes a bubbly toast, party favors, and access to the food stations around the bar, while table reservations for four are $450. The party goes from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m and tickets are available here." - Alex Frane

"The colorful and contemporary Xport Bar and Lounge at the Porter Hotel vies for rooftop dominance of downtown PDX, with the help of its view of the river from the northern patio. There, visitors can grab a drink and watch the show from the comfort of one of the patio’s couches or bar seats." - Alex Frane
