Multnomah Whiskey Library

Featuring over 1,500 spirits, Multnomah Whiskey Library is a whiskey lovers dream come true. The aptly named bar has the façade of a library with shelves covering the walls filled with whiskey bottles. The ambiance is reflective of the prohibition-era speakeasy theme, where large comfy couches and chairs meet old paintings and a cozy fireplace. While bar is fairly hidden and doesn’t have much signage, you will be transported back in time once enter. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable and will roll an old-style bar cart over to your table to make your drink right in front of you. The food, the cocktails, the ambiance, everything about this bar is perfect. Most of the time there will be a wait to get in, however, they take your phone number so you can explore other nearby bars or restaurants while you wait. Don’t let the wait time deter you, as this place is a ‘must’ when visiting Portland.
