Multnomah Whiskey Library

As the name indicates, Multnomah Whiskey Library is less a cocktail bar and more a whiskey den—or, more accurately, a world dreamed up by a country club-going grandfather with an affection for dark leather and manly portraiture. Reservations here are mandatory (you must be a member to make one, or hope for a walk-in opening), but if you manage to make it past the bouncer, the experience is unparalleled. The “library” is complete with over 1500 bottles of whisk(e)y fetched by servers who scale rolling library ladders and stroll from table-to-table with whiskey carts. A private tasting room takes the exclusivity to the next level, offering lockers for those who wish to store their own bottles.
