Hotel bar$$
Driftwood RoomA mid-century hotel lounge with beamed ceilings, deep leather booths and a curved bar, leaning into old-Hollywood glamour without feeling like a theme park about it. Good for a slower, dressed-up drink rather than a loud night.Walk-ins only
Restaurant bar$$
Huber's CafePortland's oldest restaurant, open since 1879 inside the ornate Pioneer Building with stained-glass skylights and original brass fixtures. The flaming tableside Spanish Coffee is a genuine piece of theater, not a gimmick bolted onto a modern menu.Book on OpenTable
