About the venue: A cocktail bar rated 4.6 from more than 1,200 reviews, mid-priced, open from 4pm to 12:30am Sunday to Thursday. Reviewers describe it as one of Portland's benchmark cocktail bars, with an extensive and well-explained menu, a small snacks menu and dog-friendly patio seating. Several note it gets busy quickly after opening, so arriving early is worthwhile.

Getting there: The venue is on Northwest Everett Street in the Pearl District. Pioneer Square South on the MAX light rail is a ten-minute walk and Goose Hollow fifteen; the Portland Streetcar also serves the Pearl District more directly and is the easier approach. The district is walkable and bike-friendly, and street parking is metered.
