"In terms of both price point and quality of execution, this Lombard cocktail bar has risen to happy hour royalty. Bracingly citrusy and well-balanced daiquiris are only $7, as are the cognac-spiked French 75s. The kitchen’s gumbo, truly some of the city’s best, is $6 for a single portion, as are the crackly-cornmeal-encrusted catfish sliders. And for quintessential Portland happy hour fare, the $6 mini corn dogs retain their juicy snap inside a not-too-sweet batter. Happy hour runs from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m." - Dianne de Guzman

"Though Tiny Bubble Room does pour a couple sparkling wines by the glass, the namesake bubbles here are decidedly of the malted beverage variety. Simply on the strength of its over two dozen beers and ales on tap, Tiny Bubble Room is one of North Portland’s top taprooms. The handsome if sparely decorated bar also boasts impressive bourbon and tequila lists, alongside plenty of other spirits and respectable wine offerings. Add a spacious, covered patio with firepits, a Louisiana-by-way-of-Oregon food menu, and an enticing happy hour, and Tiny Bubble Room is far more than just an oasis for beer nerds." - Nathan Williams

"Ken “Zig” Naffziger opened up this Kenton neighborhood restaurant in 2015 and since then, the lamb burger has been a regular favorite. Swift and Union grinds its lamb in-house for a patty cooked medium-well, simply adorned with arugula, dijon, and pickled red onion. Swift & Union is open for indoor and outdoor service, as well as takeout."
