Rooftop taqueria with sweeping city views and agave drinks
"From its privileged position on the rooftop of the Hoxton Hotel, Tope’s view encompasses all the quintessential landmarks of the Portland skyline as a dreamy backdrop for quesabirria tacos and tequila and mezcal-centric cocktails. Sitting on West Burnside, the restaurant’s foreground is taken up by downtown’s historic buildings, glassy skyscrapers, and the iconic Portland Stag, while Mount Hood looms on the horizon. The outdoor patio is the best spot to appreciate the vista, especially at sunset during the summer, but the airy, plant-filled indoor dining room is equally nice thanks to large window along gleaming white walls." - Zoe Baillargeon
"A busy, plant-filled rooftop bar at the Hoxton Hotel, Tope specializes in the ultimate dining duo of tacos and agave drinks, including a number of margs and variations on them. The classic Tope margarita is a solidly crafted drink, with Pueblo Viejo and Combier elevating it a bit, and is available by the glass or pitcher; those looking for an extra kick will enjoy the spicy margarita, which gets some spice from Ancho Reyes Verde and arbol tincture." - Alex Frane
"A plant-filled, white-walled tequila and mezcal haven on the upper floors of the Hoxton hotel, Tope is one of the more stylish bars west of the river. Its large, eastern-facing balcony patio, strung with lights and dotted with bistro tables for al fresco dining, often hosts private parties and other events, providing an elevated space for diners to dance the night away. If there isn’t a party going on, grab a table and snack on coconut milk-steamed mussels or chorizo empanadas." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"One of the few spots in Old Town to get a meal with a view, Tope occupies the top floor of the Hoxton Hotel. Tacos are the focus of the Mexican street food menu, with flavorful fillings like quesabirria, smoked carnitas, and vegan-friendly achiote-marinated soy curls. Bookend the meal with zesty shrimp ceviche and chips and guac for starters and dulce de leche churros for dessert, with pitchers of spicy margaritas, Mexican beer, or wine. Both the airy outdoor patio and light-filled indoor dining room have great vistas of the Old Town and downtown areas, so a good view is in store no matter the weather." - Zoe Baillargeon
"A chic, stylish spot for tequila and mezcal-centric cocktails, natural wine, and tacos, Tope’s privileged position on the rooftop of downtown’s Hoxton hotel gives it excellent views across the city. Look down onto the hubbub of West Burnside and at the surrounding historic buildings of Old Town Chinatown, or gaze east across the Willamette River toward East Portland and Mount Hood, with the Portland Stag a few blocks away. Tope has both indoor and outdoor dining areas, with great views from both the white, minimalist indoor dining room and airy, lit-up patio." - Zoe Baillargeon
