The first restaurant from Stumptown founder Duane Sorenson—whose brood now includes Ava Gene’s and Roman Candle—The Woodsman has always boasted a top-notch beverage program. The prototypical Portland restaurant, all Edison bulbs and reclaimed wood, the place practically begs for you to order a glass of whiskey. And while the list of brown spirits is worth a trip alone, the wine program remains one of the most concise and avant-garde in the city. The list skews French, but detours are encouraged, particularly if they lead to the “Italian Reds” section.

ProTip
Need one more after the Woodsman closes? Stumble up the street to the Landmark, because every Portland night should end at a honky tonk bar.
