Bars in Portland's Pearl District
23 Hoyt
Fancy Farm to Table Cuisine
50 Plates
More high end Americana restaurant than bar & one of the few tolerable Pearlized places.
Andina
Peruvian food served up with tasty Pisco Sours, live jazz nightly.
Aura
Good happy hour, decent food, lovely design, professional service...the crowds however, kill it.
Bar Due
Companion bar to Fratelli, oft raved about by foodies and Yelpers alike.
Blitz Pearl
Low Key Sports Bar in the Pearl
Bluehour
Famous Bruce Carey restaurant with a separate lounge that's popular with those folks with $.
Boxxes Video Bar
Dancing, videos, boys.
Bridgeport Brewpub
Bridgeport's sterile flagship brewpub in the Pearl.
Brix Tavern
Pearl District lounge/sports bar with a VIP loft area.
Camellia Lounge
Pearl tea house that specializes in tea/liquor concoctions.
Cassidy's
Perfect pre-Crystal or post ART mainstay.
Cheers Northwest
Formerly known as an "Old man's bar," Cheers is now apparently marketing itself as a gastro pub.
Crystal Ballroom
Even if you hate'em, the McBros have a great downtown music venue.
Davis Street Tavern
More restaurant than tavern, for sure.
Deschutes Brewery Pub
Enormous warehouse space furnished with reclaimed wood houses one of Oregon's most famous brewery and pub.
East Chinatown Lounge
Upscale bar with DJs nearly nightly.
Jake's Famous Crawfish
100+ year old landmark extents an excellent happy hour to the mostly corporate/tourist set.
Jimmy Mak's
Long standing Pearl District jazz club.
Jinx
Exactly what you would expect from a Pearl District lounge with a four letter moniker.
Kell's Brew Pub
According to the OLCC filing, Kell's Irish is opening up a brew pub at this address. Not currently open.
Le Happy
Dark, tiny little crepe restaurant/bar, fulfills the PDX requirement for quirky irreverence. Open late for a post drinking session snack, or PBR nightcap.
Life of Riley Tavern
Not so much a dive, but as far as down to earthiness in the Pearl, the closest thing you will get aside from the Low Brow.
Low Brow Lounge
A dive island in an ocean of chi-chi codified boxes, the Low Brow is welcome respite. Expect double the surliness.
Magic Garden
This Portland institution is a bar first, strip club second, and a much sought notch on every off-key travel writer's belt. Friendly, up close and personal dancers on a tiny stage.
Mission Theatre
McMovie theater with balcony seating, $3 movies, and other frequent events.
Olive or Twist
By all accounts, a fantastic Martini bar with a completely trite and off-the-mark name. Yeah, we read Dickens and we don't seem to remember starving orphans hopped up on pricey martinis.
On Deck Sports Bar & Grill
Rooftop Pearl District sports bar (meaning, too damn clean) that has most packages, and an expansive rooftop patio.
Red Cap Garage
Mainstay of the "Vaseline Alley," with loads of cheap offerings and debauchery.
Rogue Ales Public House
Relatively basic brewpub and distillery that's an ultimate destination for traveling beer geeks. Go on your birthday and get a free t-shirt!
Seres
Organic sustainable Chinese restaurant with a gluten-free menu (gluten free Chinese?!) located predictably in the Pearl.
Serratto
Upscale Italian restaurant with a huge bar in NW.
Slabtown
To quote Slabtown's Twitter profile: "Portland's only pinball dive and rock club, forgotten in the shadow of I-405."
Teardrop Lounge
Schmancy, beautiful cocktail lounge in the Pearl that specializes in every detail of a perfectly crafted cocktail.
The Crown Room
Extremely loud bar/venue that's awkwardly designed in layout, but has a wide variety of events that cater to a wide crowd.
The Paragon
Nice Old-school Pearl District restaurant with a large bar area and porch/street seating. Perfect for scenesters on First Thursday.
Trader Vic's
Legendary tiki chain of a bygone era risen from the ashes.
Vault Martini
Stylish lounge in the Pearl that boasts a huge book of specialty cocktails.
Vino Paradiso
Unpretentious NW Wine Bar, soon to change names to Coppia.
Yur's
Down and dirty dive, unofficially Radio Cab driver's "lounge".
