50 Best Cocktail Bars near Lake Oswego

“The BBQ Mac is good and so is the squid pasta! Meatballs have lots of flavor. My biggest concern is the inconsistencies in the moisture of the pasta. For example each time I've gotten the BBQ mac, the flavor is good but sometimes it's super dry. Overall, I will keep coming back because the flavors are great!“

“The bar tender went out of his way to help me. My car has a wind break that covers the back seat. I took the piece out of the car and he stored it for me so I would not have to go back to the room. Then we were late getting back from dinner, he stayed until we got back. As expected from the Crown Plaza. The best service.“

“Friendly service and great food.“

“This was our first visit and it was fantastic! From the ambiance to the food, it was amazing! We shared several small plates, and they All were Exceptional! They included: Fried Squid, Korean Brussels Sprouts w/Braised Pork Belly, Crispy Braised Pork Belly, and Thai Crab Cakes. Our server was Jennifer, and she was an Amazing Delight!..with her pleasant way, her recommendations, and her perfect attentiveness! We'll be back for sure!!“

“I wish nothing but the best for Baird's , nice to always see there's some great businesses out there that actually care about making a difference.“

“Ordered on doordash.

We got home an hour after it was delivered. Impatiently, we tried the pizza cold as we warmed the oven up, and even on a very cold December night we were surprised how fantastic the pizza tasted. The pizza was even better warm (sorry cold pizza lovers). This location deserves a much higher rating than what it currently has.“

“Good vibes, good staff. I'm sort of a lightweight, so I was pretty out of it when we left, but I wish I could tell the two servers that they were the best!! They consistently checked up on us even with the number of people in the room. It was so easy to order more if we wanted to. Thanks, teardrop staff! I probably would've drank more if I had dinner before I went 🥲🎄 Merry christmas

(Get the house of balloons if you're a lightweight, so good, almost like juice)“

“great vibe and comfortable. this is as they position it: a bar that has accompanying food and not vice-versa.

you don’t go for the food. its over priced, trying to hard to be cool-ethnic….almost self conscious in its drive to be hip with small portions, as if to signals the quality. it tries to incorporate the taste elements of the culture, but the items i had fall a bit short…almost bland. good for IG eyes but it is the mouth that counts.

contrast this to lulu where the deep ethnic menu is a “hidden treasure” and treat inside a great cocktail lounge. the bar appearance gives you no hint to the great execution that hides behind the curtain. the food is great and well priced. it is about execution and is not self conscious. it works.

silk roads could do it; focus on the value and have fun with it.“

“Great vibes to share a drink and have a conversation.“

“Dead shot was an amazing experience. The point of the pallet is to set the tone and let the masters decide your fate. You won't be disappointed, humbled and ready for my next visit.“

“The atmosphere is AMAZING! 2nd time coming and truly a vibe. Both time staff has been wonderful! Remi and Jasmine were such great time and so knowledgeable as well. Didn’t get to try the food yet, so we definitely will be back for that🤍“

“I'm a sucker for cute glassware, and they've got it. I went in the evening and had the cutest spooky themed espresso martini. It's not my favorite drink just as a personal preference but I'm glad I tried it here. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff!“

“Behold this gorgeous water closet, with a sink fit for a monarch to urinate in! The environs are relaxing and moody and the soap has an exquisite aroma, so you will feel fresh and perfumed after relieving yourself in this wide, inviting basin.“

“Thank you guys for a phenomenal birthday experience! The food was yummy, the drinks were delicious, the service was unparalleled! Beautiful atmosphere, great music. Clean, cute, private bathrooms (not your average bar). Not to mention the max is RIGHT next door.
I can't wait to come back! Thank you all for everything!!“

“Tried the Rum Club on a whim while staying down the street and can't wait to go back! The happy hour punch was a steal at $5 and the pineapple fried rice was a huge portion for 2 of us to share. We also tried both the Burning Son & Doors and Corners cocktails, both were delicious. Service was great, friendly and attentive.“

“Sunrice is inside of Roxy hotel. Pleasant ambiance of the lobby tucked behind the hotel front desk for hotel guests and food court eaters.

Excellent Philippine food. Reasonable prices. The cook and helper Kent and Jason were very nice and greeted everyone with friendly smile.“

“Great live music here!!!!“

“We've been to Raven's Manor twice - first for Circus Obscura which was a 1000/10 experience - entertainment was enjoyable and the drinks were incredible. Obsessed with drinks in a cauldron! The second visit was for their Elixir Experience which I highly recommend. There's a little escape room followed by a laboratory area where you follow recipes to create your own cocktail. You can also enjoy your food and cocktails in a private dining area after the laboratory. The closest thing I have to a complaint is that vegan food options are limited and generally just okay. Everything else is perfection.“

“A very cozy bar to hang out in, with extra seating in the back. Love that they have some NA mixed drink options. They have a couple vegan food options (fries, salad, pickles), and I’ll admit those fries are BOMB, would love a couple more options like a vegan burger or hush pups?? Happy to have a great new neighborhood haunt.“

“Here’s the real deal from a former woman who is learning the hard way how to overtly and ethically weaponize abuse against her abusers, to educate them about safety. A former woman who’s seen and experienced a lot of non-consensual covert abuse, is still standing, and enjoying bars:

I’m all about a world where people can show up exactly as they are, feel seen, appreciated, heard, helped, included, protected, because they deserve it. This was my experience at Grandma’s Secret. This is the kind of place I imagine my version of my grandma from Romania would’ve run, had she not faced a lifetime of limitations, oppression, and systemic abuse, and had she been fortunate to receive all the adequate help she needed from knowledgeable, prepared allies. Grandma’s secret radiates a free, unbreakable spirit, full of strength, kindness, and support for those who value empowerment over oppression, connection over control.

To all the women who’ve been through it, are fighting it, and to the allies who get it—in my opinion, this bar has created a safe haven for women and the allies who stand beside them, and it has been made possible by women who genuinely care. This place deserves to be supported, promoted, and fought for.

It’s a night out, yes, but it’s also a place to breathe, be yourself, connect with those who really get you, and be supported by a team of high-EQ, high-inclusivity, world-class women, who know what it means to make you feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. Walk through the doors, and you’ll feel it instantly: every interaction is real, every smile is there to encourage you to be yourself, every laughter is there to uplift you, every word is there to elevate you, and there’s a vibe here that makes you want to stay all night—and drink creative flavored margaritas, in my case.

To me, Grandma’s Secret is a vibe, a movement, a home base for anyone who’s all about inclusivity, empowerment, safety, and fun, that I am anxiously looking for more of this in Portland.“

“I frequented this place a lot over the years, it’s nice and intimate inside and a great place for a date night. We don’t usually order food but the cocktails are straight forward and well mixed. It’s not the best place in town to order a cocktail, but it is the best place in “

“We visited Wonderly with friends and had an incredible night. It's super cozy, quiet, and relaxing. Their drinks are perfect, and the bartenders are very attentive and willing to recommend the best. Perhaps they should have longer hours; they close at 11.“

“Great music; great food; great service. The best pizza in Portland. Great cocktails - although they are pretty small, yet pricey.“

“My omni friend told me JUNE is great and that we needed to go. We ordered the BBQ pulled "pork" sando with side salads, the gobi drumsticks, and the lemon custard. Everything was fantastic. The staff were attentive and all around lovely as well. We'll be returning soon!“

“Lovely little tasting room/cafe. My husband and I did not have any wine - only coffee & chai but both were amazing! I also saw some of my favorite wines hanging so we'll be back to enjoy a glass. Cookie we got was very tasty and our server was so sweet. 10/10 experience!“

“Amazing cocktails, decor and bartenders.“

“Fun spot. With decent drinks. Good for a stop.“

“We had an exceptional experience at Comala. The drinks menu came with a diagram of the flavor profile AND how each was served. Why doesn’t every bar do this? If you want wine it’s all Mexican. Then the food we ordered (skirt steak tacos, chilaquiles but very elevated, and padron peppers) arrived and every dish was wonderful. Highly recommended.“

“Awesome venue and great atmosphere“

“Food = didn't have any

Service = top notch , warm welcomes, and ready to support with hospitality

Atmosphere = really cool vibe , nicely done interior feel, dim lighting , good dj and music , awesome bar set up.

Drinks = decent spread of some draft beers and loads of specialty drinks.

Would recommend a stop in. I was traveling from Detroit and gave this place my stamp of approval for vibe check! ?“

“Russel makes a mean Manhattan!“

“Excellent service, cool place. Outdoor seating with fire pits. Tasty beers and cocktails.“

“While staying at the Portland RItz we decided to wrap up our day at the Bellpine with drinks and snacks. We were able to be immediately seated without a wait, although I was surprised last call came so early in the night. Service was fast and congenial, and the whisky/snacks selection was nice overall. Prices were, as expected, ridiculous but really you're paying for the vibes and atmosphere. The views are incredible and the energy inside is upbeat and fun. Would come back again for drinks, but would probably eat elsewhere beforehand or afterwards.“

“The Cypress room is a hybrid little side room, half bar, half restaurant (and thus minor friendly), just across from the main Courtyard restaurant, specializing in light bites, desserts, brews and cocktails. Unlike Honors, Detention, and the Boiler Room, it's open *most* of the time, with no real blackout times or dates (other than the early morning), making it among the most accessible, thus it's probably the room in which I've spent the most time at the Kennedy School, other than the soaking pool.Service is usually quick and attentive; easy to do in a cozy little space like this. And as its just one piece of the McMenamins pie, the prices and quality of drinks and food are the same as you'll find elsewhere on campus. If your visit to the Kennedy School involves coming early, or bringing kids, you're probably going to find yourself in the Cypress Room at some point!

Kid-friendliness: Minor friendly (and the only "bar" on campus that is).“

“Unbelievable amazing food lobster pad Thai was unreal Annie was a great server“

“Wildfire and apple cider is so good. Had to buy a case.“

“Pizza edges will be burnt, but you’re drunk, right? Eat it.

This gorgeous vapor wave oasis among brickwork features: unnamed fish of exotic variety, a chill as patio, and always friendly bartenders to mediate the vibe (like Brayden) There will be strange characters as any neighbor gem attracts. There are plenty of people seeking inspiration to interact in such attractive atmosphere.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp entrance and wide walking spaces“

“A very fun place to spend your joint bachelor and bachelorette trip at! Environment gets a bit rough later into the night, but that's to be expected in that part of Portland. Awesome drinks. Super awesome selection of music, super fun!“

“all I can think saying is it’s delicious every spoonful come out and have some …delicious I promise“

“I went to a mixology class. Super fun and educational. A great date night idea.“

“The food, the cocktails are great along with the staff. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.“

“Best drinks, friendly atmosphere, great bartenders! Especially liked sitting outside on a warm day having a drink with old friends, and making new ones. Always someone there to play pool with and “talk story”.“

“Had some friends eat here and they raved about the food and the service. They highly recommend this venue.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious food. Well have to come back soon.“

“The pineapple mojito is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Atmosphere was really off though. It was earlier on a Saturday night and there’s no dance floor but there was early aughts hip hop (not the really good kind tho) playing at earsplitting levels. The decor and concept would make for a really chill spot if they could get a right musical fit. Service was excellent though!“

“Reminds me of NYC, really cool place to grab a drink. Turns info a nightclub after 10 PM“

“Delicious & immaculately presented, robust drink menu and Tapas done right 😋“

“Amazing restaurant connected to the Royal Sonesta hotel. Excellent first stop for breakfast as it is full service and opens at 7am. Coffee was fantastic, food came out quickly. Had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. The biscuits were split and toasted with a garlic butter, gravy was spot on, and eggs were light and fluffy and not over cooked. Service was excellent, the entire space is beautiful. Full bar, wood fitted pizza oven... Highly recommend.“

“One of the chillest Foxy's around! Good vibes, awesome workers, great prices on drinks and smokes. If you need a more relaxed night than what most pubs can offer, then this is your spot. They have an awesome lounge area that is hardly ever used so it's always an awesome choice. Definitely give them a look cause they are so much more than what you expect a gambling den to be.“
