Hippest Spot in... Portland, Oregon?

by Sarah Gilbert (RSS feed) on Apr 6th 2006 at 9:24PM

My husband and I are going out for a cocktail tonight. We rarely go anywhere without the kids and I'm have a desperate need to, not just go to a hot spot, but go to the HIPPEST spot available. I need numero uno, folks.

So help me out. Those of you who are still single and hip. Those of you who aspire to be. Where is the absolute best, top, trendier-than-thou hipper-than-hip place to sip a cocktail in Portland, Oregon? I'm considering the following:

Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside
820 / Mint, 820 N Russell
clarklewis (although we've been there), 1001 SE Water

Opinions? Other ideas? Let me know!

All those places are good. If I had to pick one it would be Mint. THere's also the Brazen Bean with great martinis on NW 21st and Glisan and Moo Moos just a little down the street that are a little more intimate.

Colosso on NE Broadway has great cocktails and serves food till late. Cool atmosphere.

There are many good places in Portands to cool off. My favoriets are

Basement Pub at 1028 SE 12th Ave
Jolly Inn at 1937 SE 11th Ave
Pub at the End of the Universe at 4107 SE 28th Ave
Space Room Lounge at 4800 SE Hawthorne Blvd
Devils Point Bar at 5305 SE Foster Rd

Blue Hour in the Pearl is "the" place to be seen. Food & cocktails are fantastic, but $$$. Same owners as clarklewis. Higgins Restaurant has one of the most complete assortments of beer in Portland. The bar is very cool. Not the place to spend the whole evening, but definately a good place to stop for a great martini.
