Dame

At NE Killingsworth’s recently opened boîte, au naturel is the only way to go. Rising-star sommelier Dana Frank and co-owner Jane Smith built their dark, soigné restaurant as a stronghold of natural wine: vintages pressed and bottled from unadulterated, imperfect, organically grown grapes, Oregon to Bosnia, with a light, seafood-and vegetable-focused menu that plays nicely with the curated list. 2930 NE Killingsworth St, damerestaurant.com —BT

The Solo Club

The sister bar of recently relocated Besaw’s is a dreamy, bitters-fueled Bali Ha’i, where a wicker motorcycle looms over a bar specializing in low-alcohol coolers and little Southeast Asian–tinged plates. The pink-and-gray-hued spot’s tall tables and hidden mezzanine are perfect for fun happy hours or low-pressure dates. Grab a plate of shatter-crisp fried green beans (or anything with the fernet-and-Coke-braised pork), sip a bubbly cava and amari spritzer, and get tropical. 2110 NW Raleigh St, thesoloclub.com —KC

La Moule

La Moule is Francophile chef Aaron Barnett’s (St. Jack) take on a classic mussels-and-fries bistro, with rotating bivalve bowls, long, salty fries, and the option to have it topped with shaved foie gras. Whoa. Wash it all down with a draft from the local and international Belgian-style beer list, or the serious craft cocktail menu. 2500 SE Clinton St, lamoulepdx.com —BT

Deadshot at Holdfast

Mustard and yolk. Nori and gin. Hibiscus and rice. At Deadshot—the Mondays-only casual bar night at haute-modern Holdfast—cocktails rule with Machiavellian swagger. Barman Adam Robinson, back from a stint at Taipei’s Ounce, makes his reentry alongside Holdfast’s Joel Stocks and Will Preisch and their short list of throwback snacks like pig ear nachos, togarashi prawn heads, and a blood pudding mac “borrowed” from the defunct Beaker & Flask. 537 SE Ash St, #102, holdfastdining.com —RD
