| OK Omens/Official

Traditionally, happy hour meant an hour or so of discounted drinks in the afternoon, usually when people would get off work but before dinner hours and late-night drinking. But the term has evolved, and many bars and restaurants in Portland opt to offer cocktail specials, half-priced wines, and discounted food specials late into the evening, after the more casual bar-goers have returned home.

We’ve rounded up a range of late-night happy hours across Portland, from dive bars to fine dining restaurants, with food specials, drink specials, and both. As usual, these points are arranged geographically, not ranked.

Mock Crest Tavern

Copy Link

An old-school neighborhood pubs-meets-diner vibe pervades at the Mock Crest Tavern, a longstanding music venue in North Portland. Shows here often run late enough to lead into happy hour, which kicks off at 11 p.m. With some respectable pub staples ranging from $4 to $7, the menu includes tater tots, hummus and pita, plus cheeseburger or veggie sliders. Drink specials are similarly straightforward, with $4 well drinks and discounts on beer and wine.

Bartini

Copy Link

Decked out in all black, Bartini serves a menu of a few dozen “martinis,” which is to say a variety of cocktails made with all manner of “mixers” served in oversized martini stems. Given the variety, there’s sure to be something to please, especially when the voluminous drinks are just $5 after 9:30 p.m. — until midnight on weeknights and 11 p.m. on Sundays. If cheap drinks aren’t enough, the bar also offers all of its small plates on discount, including $4 mash potatoes also served in a martini glass, because that’s just classy.

Jake's Grill

The vintage carpets, white tablecloths, and classic service don’t make Jake’s Grill feel like much of a late-night party spot, but the happy hour menu, available after 9 p.m., definitely does. Find well spirits for $4.50, local spirits for $6.50, and speciality drinks for $8. The Old Portland classic also slings a variety of food options from $3 to $9, including crispy Brussels sprouts, Thai-chili-fried cauliflower, and tuna poke.

The Box Social

Copy Link

A sumptuous, intimate lounge, the Box Social offers a generous late night happy hour Sunday through Thursday from 11 p.m. until it closes at 1 a.m. Late-night visitors can find shareable snacks like pimento spread and bread for $5, parmesan popcorn for $4, and a hummus plate for $6.  House wines and draft pours are $5, as are a few select cocktails, while a number of other drinks including a French 75, margarita, or mulled wine made in-house, are just $6.

My Father's Place

Copy Link

My Father’s Place lives somewhere between a dive bar and a greasy diner, which is exactly what one needs after a night of drinking. From 10 p.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, the bar offers alcohol-soaking staples like a crispy beef and bean burrito for $4, spiced chicken sliders with fries for $5, and a stuffed baked potato for $3. For anyone looking to keep the party going, all whiskey (save well) is $1 off, while draft beers are $3 and PBR is a $1.50.

The buzzy steam burgers as this elegant, vintage-vibed wine bar and cafe are already reasonably priced, but from 10 p.m. to midnight each night the little treasures are just $3 a pop. Those looking for a decadent end to the night can find a dozen oysters for $18, as well as a venison terrine for $7. Drink-wise, a selection of aperitifs on the rocks or with soda are available for $6— a nice low-proof way to wrap up an evening, as are the $3 Montucky Cold Snacks.

Radio Room

Copy Link

Radio Room, a multi-roomed, double-decker diner and bar, is open every day of the year with almost every kind of service, including brunch, lunch, dinner, and a daily happy hour from 10 p.m. to 2 am., one of the latest in town.
