Pink Rabbit

This elegant space with ambient pink lighting and suspended bubble lamps serves playfully named but seriously crafted cocktails like the sherry-and-gin-centric Sucker's Luck and the mezcal-driven Quiet Company. The Asian-influenced bar snacks are distinctively delicious—try taro tots with Thai ranch and chili sauce or the oxtail burger. The darkly seductive space makes an inviting milieu before or after a show at nearby Portland Center Stage.

Thelonious Wines

Pearl District
This bi-level bottle shop and wine bar differs from others of its kind in that it focuses exclusively on unusual, hard-to-find wines, from small productions of Pinot Noir from outstanding but lesser-known Oregon vineyards to interesting wines from unexpected places (bubbly from Tasmania, dry whites from Slovenia). Several single pours and flights are available, and you can pair your tasting with wine and charcuterie in the cozy upstairs loft with tables fashioned out of wine crates.
