The front patio was a nice place to enjoy golden hour and our service was exceptional. My dad got a brandy alexander, mom got a piña colada on the rocks and later a pink lady, and I got something like a Negroni (they make Negronis but I asked the server to choose something interesting and the result was absolutely splendid). Cheers to the professionals who helped make our visit even more special.

Nice cocktail bar with quality cocktails and lively fun vibes…read more Highlights: - Nice curved bar that takes up most of the front room. Also a side room - Lots of cocktails on the menu in categorized sections (bright and crisp, rich and robust etc). Also has a 1 liner describing the cocktail as well - Vesper: went off menu with my go to and ones one of the better ones I had! 5 stars - Dream Weaver: enjoyed my first selection with pandan. 4 stars - Can make reservations which I always like to know I have spot. Thought they were only for the side room so was thrilled when we were in the main bar. - Fun music - Has a bites menu if you get hungry which I appreciate Midlights: - Bit dark to see the menu so used the handy candle nearby - Was on the top 50 best of North America bar list but in 2022 so it's been a bit Lowlights: - Doomsday Device: was in the spicy category with hot honey and peppercorn but was more of a mellow fruity cocktail to me where I didn't taste any spice - Didn't get to try any bites as we came from dinner but would have loved to try the 2 bite tostadas

The drinks were good, but not memorable enough that I'd come back just for them. The vibe felt more like a nightclub than a cocktail bar. The music was fun, but it was extremely loud--even though no one was dancing. The crowd was young, and the energy was high, which would be great if you're looking for a lively night out. We were hoping for a place to catch up and have a conversation, but we found ourselves having to yell over the music most of the night.

Great for a chill night (or for a date night) Food: dumplings were super juicy and delicious. The scallions definitely add a freshness to the umami taste as well. The salt and pepper calamari is not your typical calamari - it's delicious in the sense that the batter tasted fresh. It's has sautéed onions over it as well for that extra umami flavor.

After rummaging…read morethrough my bookmarks on Yelp, my friend and I decided on Silk Road in the Pearl District, and it did not disappoint. The vibe is very modern and swanky. We didn't have a reservation, so we had the choice to sit at the bar or on these cool couches, and of course we chose the couches. The food here is tapas style. We ordered the classic General Tso's, and at the recommendation of the host, we also got the salt and pepper calamari and the honey walnut shrimp. BAYBAAAY, everything was delicious, especially the shrimp. With some rice and chili oil, easily the best meal I had in Portland. My friend and I were debating going back for a second meal, and we should've gone back for a second meal during our trip. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this was some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. It should also be noted that they make a mean cocktail. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Portland.

Your espresso is made fresh as they create your cocktail. The decor is super simple but cute which allows it to feel very open. You can tell thought was put into the layout and it was executed perfectly. I can't encourage you enough to stop through and treat yourself to one of their coffee cocktails.

Would give them another try at some point.

The cocktail menu is fantastic, and if you're curious about absinthe, this is one of the best places to try it. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, sharing the history behind each pour and explaining the different varieties. I especially loved that many of the absinthes are named after famous poets and artists - it adds a fun touch to the experience. For dinner, I ordered the spaetzle, and it was delicious. I also love the vintage mirrors throughout the space, it makes the room feel large and grand. Whether you're stopping in for a classic cocktail, an absinthe experience or just enjoying the ambience, Driftwood Room is worth a visit if you're in downtown PDX!

It took a while to get these as well since it seems they share a kitchen with Gracie's (the hotel's breakfast/brunch restaurant). I'd probably skip the food if there's a next time & stick with the drinks. Dark, intimate vibe inside with room for about ~20 people at small tables and also bar seating.
