Someday is a neighborhood cocktail bar on SE Division Street in the Richmond neighborhood, run by spouses Jessica Baesler and Graham Files. The room pours cocktails, beer, wine, cider and sake alongside a short lunch and dinner menu.
Who would love it: drinkers who want a relaxed local with a real cocktail list and a kitchen. Who would skip it: anyone after a high energy late night room, since this is a calmer neighborhood spot.
The space reads as a small neighborhood joint rather than a destination cocktail bar, with daytime hours that start at 2pm. The owners run it as a community room first, which sets the unhurried pace.
The cocktail list sits next to a deep selection of beer, wine, cider and sake, so a table can mix orders easily. The kitchen sends out lunch and dinner plates, which makes Someday a full sit down rather than a drinks only stop. The format rewards a long afternoon more than a quick round.
Richmond and Division Street regulars fill the room across the afternoon and early evening. The bar runs Thursday through Monday and closes Tuesday and Wednesday.
Google Maps and Yelp reviewers praise the welcoming, low key feel and the range of drinks beyond cocktails. The early close and the two dark days are the main notes to plan around.
Best time to go: a weekend afternoon when the kitchen and the bar both run and the room stays calm enough to talk.
Who it is for: a relaxed neighborhood afternoon, a group that wants low proof options, or a slow Division Street sit down. Skip it if you want a late night.
SE Division Street holds one of Portland's strongest restaurant runs, and Someday reads as the neighborhood drinking room within it. The bar leans into that role with a wide drinks list and a kitchen rather than a single cocktail focus.
The cocktail program shares the menu with sake, cider, wine and beer, which makes the bar an easy choice for a mixed group with different orders. That range is the reason it works as a daytime and early evening room rather than a late night destination.
The kitchen runs through the afternoon and into the evening, so a table can treat Someday as lunch, dinner or a long graze between rounds. The food keeps the room anchored as a full sit down.
Walk ins are the norm and reservations are rarely needed, which suits the relaxed pace the owners set. A weekend afternoon is the easiest window to get a table and the full menu.
Someday sits within walking distance of the Division Street restaurant cluster and the cocktail rooms of inner Southeast Portland, which makes it a flexible first stop. Start here for a low key afternoon, then carry the night toward a later cocktail room nearby.
The bar keeps its prices and its pace approachable, which is part of why it reads as a true neighborhood room rather than a destination. Regulars return for the mix of cocktails and low proof options and the kitchen that runs alongside them through the afternoon and evening.
The owners' hands on approach shows in the service, which regulars describe as warm and unhurried across every visit. The room rewards a slow afternoon over a quick stop, and the wide drinks list keeps a mixed group happy.
Pair this bar with Angel Face, Rum Club, or Hey Love to round out a Portland night.
