Drinks: 5.0, delicious drinks every time.Atmosphere: 4.8, such a cute and cozy space.Post was originally written in December 2018 and was updated most recently in November 2021. If you’ll be in town soon, here are some of the best cocktail bars in Portland, Oregon to grab a drink. Since I travel to Portland, OR regularly (my last trip was in November 2021), I always fit in a couple of bars. They have similar weather and friendly people, but the West Coast version is much larger. Since I grew up in Portland, Maine, I’ve always been interested in the other Portland. Portland, Oregon is one of those cities with an amazing cocktail scene.
I love cities full of beautiful bars with creative menus and friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. As new places open and others close, I also revisit the places I’ve loved in the past. When I’ve been to a place repeatedly, I enjoy tweaking my bar guides with each trip.

The Court is like one of those classic hotel bars and lounges that can be found in NYC, but with a twist. After his experience living and working abroad, Bar Director and amaro king Matteo Zed has brought a unique bar concept and style back to Rome. Located on the ground level of Palazzo Manfredi in Monti with Michelin star restaurant Aroma up top is one of the best places to drink in Rome: The Court.
The bar’s motto is “drink kong, think kong, be kong” but the basis of the bar is that the bartenders and the owner do not want you to have a drink. In the back, there is a room with walls covered in Japanese art and a long, natural wood table, where you can reserve a spot to try crafted cocktails made by the owner himself.
Walk right, and you’ll find yourself in “the jungle room” where you can enjoy beer on tap, long drinks, and live music nights twice a week. To your left, there is a futuristic lounge. There is the main bar that greets you as soon as you walk in with a wall of carefully chosen spirits. Owned by the legendary bartender Patrick Pistolesi, Drink Kong is the place to relax while sipping perfectly mixed cocktails and tasting delicious food right at Piazza San Martino ai Monti. To kick off their reopening, Blackmarket Hall has some new signature drinks and food menus in store! Reservations are highly recommended and can be made by calling +39349 1995295 or on their website.ĭrink Kong is the newest addition to Monti’s nightlife scene. And as far as dining is concerned, Blackmarket Hall is definitely a place where you can enjoy a hearty burger or a fish and chips if you find yourself feeling peckish, and for those of the vegan persuasion there are a couple of veggie burger alternatives along with a number of salads to choose from. The aesthetic charm of the place also finds its way into their bar, where the cocktails and drinks are prepared by their mixologists. This cocktail bar has nestled itself into Rome’s Monti neighborhood, just a few steps from Blackmarket Monti on Via Panisperna. For those of you who want to be transported back to the roaring twenties, and for the lovers of cocktails, good food and live music, Blackmarket Hall will definitely be your new haunt.
