Best chicken wings in Portland - hands down!! The interstate location is 1 of 3 in PDX, it happens to be the smallest but the food is incredible. Great beer, wings, bar food (like you would expect), and a plethora of burgers, wraps & even vegan options. Try one of the other locations if you want a bigger menu and more seating!

Cute bar at the top of the Huxton Hotel in Downtown Portland (Old-Town area). Parking may be a little tricky, but take an Uber and order a flight of tacos and a spicy margarita while enjoying some rooftop deck views under bistro lights.

Incredible Tiki bar - the music, atmosphere and of course the drinks make this one of our favorite little spots to hit when we go out on date nights. They even mimic thunderstorms and serve a variety of drinks on fire... can't ask for much more!
