Portland’s Best Hotel Bars
These hotel bars deliver some of the best nightlife in town.

Some of Portland’s most destination-worthy bars just happen to be attached to some of the coolest hotels in town. Here’s where to check in for the night.
With its curvy, leather-banked counter and gold-lit interior, the Driftwood Room at the Hotel deLuxe looks like the Marilyn Monroe of bars. The drinks hold their own with offerings such as the Thai gimlet, which incorporates Mekhong rum, ginger liqueur, a mix of herbs and fresh lime.
From its lofty perch on the 15th floor, the rooftop lounge of Departure at the Nines peers over downtown and Mount Hood. The bar stocks one of the largest saké collections in town and features a menu designed by Kann owner and James Beard Award-winning chef Gregory Gourdet, who crafted addictive Asian-inspired fare like crispy pork belly with pickled cherries, ginger and pumpkin seeds.
