Because Portland is a city of ever-evolving booze, we offer the Cocktail Heatmap. Updated periodically, it spotlights the hottest new cocktails in the city and the very bars where Portland's best drinkers are perfecting their art right now.
Though Portland has numerous knockout urban wineries and breweries, this map focuses on mixed drinks from places that have opened in the past year, or have launched an exciting revamp. This time around, we're adding four new hotspots to the list. In addition to the last update's Donnie Vegas, Hamlet, Pream, Produce Row, and Smokehouse Tavern, we've added Bit House Saloon, Shift Drinks, Renata, and Victoria Bar.
Here's what's hot and new to help you start planning your next night out. (The points on this map guide are not ranked but organized geographically).
