Rum Club

One of Portland’s first spirit-focused bars, the Rum Club’s cocktail menu devotes half of its real estate to rum drinks—some of which are obscure revivals, others, like the Daiquiri and Mai Tai, are beloved house staples—while the rest jumps around the globe to features spirits genever and whiskey, as well as amari. Bartenders are center stage here at the horseshoe-shaped bar, and though the bar’s motives are geeky, the service is laid-back.
