For a brief stint this summer, Oregon restaurants and bars were free to fill their restaurants to full capacity without a mask requirement. But with COVID-19 cases rising around the state, Oregon leaders have decided to reintroduce a mask requirement in all indoor public spaces, including restaurants and bars.

Even beyond the mask mandate, many Portland restaurants and bars are starting to voluntarily re-institute safety protocols to mitigate the potential for spread. Some restaurants are waiting to reopen their indoor dining rooms, and a growing number of bars and restaurants in Portland have started checking diners’ vaccination status before walking them to their tables or taking their orders.

This policy has been popular with Portland diners, even before the state lifted its COVID-19 safety requirements: In a June poll, hundreds of Eater Portland readers said they wanted to see restaurants and bars check vaccination status at the door; 77 percent of respondents said they would feel comfortable dining in a restaurant at full capacity if employees checked vaccination status, and 62 percent of respondents said restaurants should start checking customers’ vaccination cards before letting them dine in a full-capacity dining room.

Some restaurants are letting unvaccinated customers dine outside; others are only allowing vaccinated customers to enter the business at all. But for diners seeking an extra layer of security before entering a dining room right now, these restaurants may be a good place to start. All of the locations listed will accept either the specific card or an image of the card (like a photocopy or iPhone photo). This list will be updated periodically; send additional restaurants that have started “vaccine carding” to our tip line.
