"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, skewers, and wings either alfresco or in the vibey, window-lined indoor dining area." - Zoe Baillargeon
"Xport and its twin rooftop patios are nestled 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 bars than nightclubs, luckily, and there are always some choice selections of wines and beer, as well." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"High atop downtown’s Porter Hotel, Xport may be flashy by Portland standards, yet it’s a serious cocktail lounge with a stellar view of the city. Dress up, find a spot near a fire pit, and chill under the colorful ceiling lights that slowly rotate through shades of the rainbow. The West Will Provide uses Westward Whiskey Original sweetened with a touch of honey, locally-made apple brandy, and marionberry liqueur, plus just enough herb-infused Benedictine to keep things interesting. The cocktail is finished with vanilla and cardamom bitters, an egg white foam, and artfully placed cardamom pods." - Krista Garcia
"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
"A rooftop bar with stellar views and handcrafted cocktails, Xport is on the top floor of the Porter Hotel downtown. Take in the skyline on the outdoor patio by a fire pit or sit in the sleek lounge and sip an Angel’s Envy Manhattan garnished with a maraschino cherry. Wherever you sit, it’s guaranteed to be an Insta-worthy experience. If you want something a little sweeter, order the Strange Beauty with an apple cinnamon-infused Angel’s Envy Bourbon Finished in Port Barrels base, made even more delicious with the addition of dark rum, salted caramel, and orange and fig bitters." - Vox Creative
