Just over the East side of the River, Rum Club is one of our all-time favorite bars. Try the Daiquiri, coconut cake, or anything else on the menu. This is a small place - try and make a reservation or have a backup plan.
One of our favorite pizza spots in town, with a good bar attached as well. This is walking distance from the Holiday Inn on Vaughn Street.
Where we had our first date! A nice chill pub with excellent pizza and simple drinks, a fireplace, and indoor and outdoor seating.
Excellent food and drinks, with an emphasis on Scotch. Lots of outdoor seating. Try the soft shell crab sandwich and the rice paper.
A cute, quiet cocktail lounge in the Woodlark Hotel. Walking distance from the Sentinel.
The best chocolate chip cookies in Portland, and a quick 2-minute walk from Mt Tabor park. A good spot for families, date night, or brunch with outdoor seating.
