Portland
Unwind after the office with happy hour deals, craft beer and creative cocktails in Pearl District and beyond.
The best after-work bars in Portland cluster in Downtown because that's where the offices are. The 5pm-7pm window is golden—everyone transitions from work mode to evening mode simultaneously. The bars that nail this moment tend to have two things: exceptional happy hour pricing and bartenders who understand that their job is to help you leave the workday behind.
The rooftop happy hour here stretches into early evening with craft cocktails and local wine. The crowd is polished but not stuffy. Book a table for sunset views.
Wood-paneled and sophisticated, Southpark transforms into an elegant after-work destination. The bartenders know their craft and the happy hour is generous on locally-caught oysters.
Award-winning cocktails in a European-style bar that feels purpose-built for the 5pm crowd. The bartenders remember your name. First drink pairs perfectly with the moment.
