The only late-night spot in Portland that was also a filming location used in a cult classic starring Matt Dillon, The Pharmacy is both a great drag bar and a living museum for film buffs. Open until 2:30 a.m. nightly, enjoy a Vitamin B  — the bar’s spin on a French 75 made with blue butterfly flower-infused Aviation gin — alongside a five-cheese grilled cheese with tomato soup or a burger topped with house-made peanut sauce.

Open til 1 a.m. daily, this Nob Hill bar runs frequent specials and seasonal menu items like tempura-battered delicata squash donuts with whipped fromage blanc and smoked trout dip with wonton chips. Those intimidated by such fussy late-night snacks can stick to staples like fried chicken sandwiches, burgers, and fish and chips. Another bonus: The bar pours palomas and slings $2 tacos on Tuesdays.

It’s Oktoberfest all year round at this German pub on Mississippi, which serves imported draft beers in boot-shaped steins until 2:30 a.m. daily, alongside pretzels, bratwurst, and bier cheese soup. Plus, those interested in a late-night crawl can start here and stroll down Mississippi, one of the more underrated strips of bars in town.

With 99 beers on tap, an extensive beer and wine list, and a beer cellar featuring local brews of years past, Loyal Legion is the type of place where you end up staying late into the night just to try everything that excites you. Luckily, the bar also serves bacon-jalapeño smash burgers, hand-dipped corndogs with Olympia Provisions frankfurters, and vegan buffalo cauliflower wings until 2 a.m. on weekends. Visitors will find plenty of seating both indoors and out.

Adding more fuel to the fiery debate, this funky, Americana space labels its hot dogs as “Hot Dog Sandwiches.” Despite the late night, alcohol-fueled arguments this will no doubt cause, the inventive hot dogs, like the Seoul Dog (kimchi, sambal aioli, and scallions) and Tijuana Dog (cream cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeño, and cilantro), as well as Frito Pie, satisfy until 2:30 a.m. daily. For those who want to keep the party going, there’s always the “taptails” like a margarita or frosé.

This Hawthorne standby since 2013 stands out from the pack as Portland’s only late-night deli, where all sandwiches are served on toasted Fleur de Lis ciabatta rolls. Classics like turkey or salami are amped up with kale, tomato jam, and balsamic aioli. House-smoked five-spice pulled pork and red wine-braised beef are best enjoyed with a drink at next-door No Fun Bar. Gluten-free and vegan options also available.

East Burnside’s award-winning French patisserie is the coolest spot in town to satisfy your late-night sweet tooth. The Pix-o-Matic is a 24-hour refrigerated vending machine filled with cakes, macarons, chocolate, cheese, sourdough starter, tinned seafood, toys, and more. It’s also a photo booth? The wonders of technology! Credit only.

A dive bar in its purest form, this local haunt with national buzz and a recent starring role on Hulu is open until 2:30 a.m. It’s a one-person-show, meaning you’ll have to wait and meditate over a few stiff drinks, but the patient will be rewarded with some of the city’s best fried chicken and jojos (monster-sized potato wedges).

On a sunny day, Hawthorne bar Gold Dust Meridian is one of the best patio joints in town: the sidewalk filled with the vitamin D-deprived enjoying a marionberry margarita, a tofu caprese salad, and some arugula and artichoke dip. By night, drinkers and diners tuck into the black leather banquette until 2:30 a.m. for lemon pepper chicken wings, macaroni and cheese with bacon and tomato, and drinks like the Bleeding Heart, made with blood orange vodka and wild hibiscus nectar.

Everyone knows that the most appealing food after a night of partying is a hot dog. Or at least the folks behind Zach’s Shack do, which is why this punk rock, divey, counter-service restaurant serves its decked-out wieners until 11:45 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 1:45 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. As the bars close up, the lines form for the wide array of hot dog styles, or customers can just mix and match toppings until something beautiful, or horrifying, is created. Those who don’t eat meat can sub in a tofu pup for no charge.

This Montavilla bar, open until 2:30 a.m. daily, is the ideal place to end up after a late-night movie at the nearby Academy Theater. Play pool, enjoy the long list of local draft beers, and dig into some Cajun standbys including chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, fried oyster po’ boys, and hush puppies.
