Vena's Fizz House

Love this place!!!! As if being transformed into an apothecary, they serve a array of cocktails with interesting bitters and is also available for purchase. There were some interesting glass wares on display and would like to revisit and see what gets served in them. The bartender was very knowledgeable and seem to love the craft, which made the drinking experience more exciting being able to geek out with a fellow enthusiast.

Loved this place! Both alcoholic and non with interesting ingredients including many types of bitters, phosphates and shrubs. It's a little retro-y hipster but in a fun way. Menu is categorized by flavor profile. Staff was super knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. We each ordered two drinks - my second was suggested by the bartender and included a beet shrub component which was surprisingly delicious. Not many seats but there are places to roost and 2 small bistro tables out front. If you try something you like, ask for the recipe - the small store sells almost everything you'd need (other than the actual alcohol), including vintage bar sets, a variety of bitters and alcohol infusion "kits". Well worth your time, even with non-drinkers. Only food seems to be truffle popcorn so don't come hungry. Looking forward to coming back and trying something new.

Definitely the best cocktails in town, hands down. The Smoother than a stout cocktail is amazing. Steve and the crew there make you feel welcome. They have the most selection of bitters I'v ever seen in one place.

Vena's Fizz House is a lovely place that can appeal to everyone! They have mocktails for the non drinkers, sodas for the kids, and fabulous craft cocktails for the ones who love a boozy libation or two. It also doubles as a shop where you can purchase all sorts of bitters and other items essential to your bar at home! Worth a stop in your stay in Portland!

Great drinks and interesting things in a quirky store/bar that feels lost in time. Super friendly staff will be only too pleased to help you navigate your way through their extensive range of bitters, liqueurs, other unusual or uncommon flavorings.

One of the most incredible bars I've ever visited. They have AMAZING drinks, made with care and creativity. They really showcase what's possible with the addition of bitters to drinks! They are also happy to share any of their drink recipes, and sell an insane variety of bitters on site.

I have to be honest - I don't remember what drink I had here, or what drink my boyfriend had. However, I do know that they were both DELICIOUS and as strong as you'd want a good cocktail to be. I can not recommend this place more! I normally say "definitely stop by if you're in the area!" but honestly even if you're not in the area, GO HERE! You'll get a delightfully enjoyable and cleverly made cocktail and you'll get to sip it in the most adorable place. I live over two hours from this place and have considered going back on multiple occasions. They also have an excellent gift shop with all sorts of cocktail accessories, from bitters to glassware. Highly recommend.

Excellent cocktails and service! The bartender made us an extra drink on the house when we had trouble deciding upon which drink to order from their amazing cocktail menu. Everything to recreate the drinks can be purchased from their retail shop that you walk through to get to the bar area.
