Happy Hours in Portland
Check your watch – it’s probably happy hour at some of Portland’s favorite bars and restaurants.
Portland’s Happy Hour Guidebook includes more than 500 locations, so if you sense it’s five-o-clock somewhere, the city almost certainly has you covered. Here are just a handful of our favorites.

Portland City Grill
Set on the 30th floor of Portland’s iconic US Bancorp Tower (a.k.a. “Big Pink”), Portland City Grill is a downtown destination boasting sweeping city and mountain views and accolades like being named one of “America’s 100 Best Wine Restaurants” in 2012 by Wine Enthusiast magazine.
