Description
The Basement Bar is full-on Prohibition-era cosplay, but in the best way: murky enough to stay hidden from small-world Portland. This type of throwback speakeasy is the reason manhattans exist, but don’t sleep on the house cocktail list. The vodka-meets-cacao “Dream of the 90s” features a delightfully sweet candied blood orange twist, and cabbage fritters with mustard crema make perfect drinking companions if you’ve stumbled down here alone. Pricey? Very. But if you’re a time-traveling titan of industry from the Gilded Age, this is your place.
