Bible Club

Portland, Oregon

Photo: Mariano Polinesi

A Prohibition-era speakeasy on SE 16th that takes its theme as far as it goes — antique fixtures, an actual library of pre-Volstead cocktail manuals behind the bar, and a menu of pre-1920 classics done with stubborn historical fidelity. Small, low-lit, no-photography (a house rule worth honoring), and the kind of room that makes you feel like you're getting away with something.

Insider tip

Order something from the historical menu — they'll explain the era it came from. Skip the photos. Tip the bartender for the show.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters

Stumptown Coffee Roasters

The roastery that launched Portland's third-wave coffee obsession and never stopped pushing. The Division Street location is where the magic happens — beans roasted on-site, baristas who can explain terroir like sommeliers, and a stripped-back space that lets the coffee do all the talking. Twenty-plus years in, Stumptown still sets the bar.

Canard

Canard

The wine bar next door to Le Pigeon that might actually be better for a Tuesday night. Small plates, natural wines, and a buzzy counter-seating energy that makes you feel like you're in on something. The menu changes constantly, but the duck — this is a duck-focused restaurant, after all — is always worth ordering in whatever form it takes.

Ace Hotel Portland
StayPearl District

Ace Hotel Portland

The hotel that invented the modern boutique hotel playbook — repurposed vintage furniture, a lobby full of freelancers, and a turntable in every room. The Portland outpost was the original, and it still has a lived-in warmth that the imitators can't replicate. Stumptown in the lobby, Pepe Le Moko in the basement. You could spend a whole trip without leaving the building.

DrinkDowntown · Miami, Florida

Niu Kitchen

A Catalan restaurant and wine bar in a former downtown bookstore the size of a studio apartment. Karina Iglesias and Deme Lomas brought a Spanish wine list and intensely-personal small plates — the foie mi-cuit on toast, the pan con tomate, the daily pasta — that have made Niu one of the most consequential restaurants of downtown Miami's revival. Sit at the bar and order glass-by-glass.

DrinkLoHi · Denver, Colorado

Williams & Graham

Behind a bookcase in what appears to be an old-timey bookshop lies one of the best cocktail bars in the country. That's not an exaggeration — it's been on every important bar list since it opened. The drinks are meticulous, the room is dark and handsome, and the bartenders have the kind of quiet confidence that comes from knowing they're working at the top of their game.
