5 editor picks in Portland.
5 late-night dives in Portland our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Portland nightlife.
The Sandy Hut is the 1923 dive on NE Sandy at the edge of Kerns, the room locals call the Handy Slut, with strong drinks, late kitchen and a jukebox that runs to 02:00 every night.
TipKitchen runs late and the bar pours until 02:00 seven nights; cash and card both work and the booth seats fill on Friday after 22:00.
My Father's Place is the 1978 Buckman dive in the 1892 New Logus Block on SE Grand, a National-Register building that serves breakfast all day, plays pinball, and pours until 02:30.
TipOpen from 07:00 every day including holidays; the kitchen serves breakfast through close, so post-show late food is the play.
Cassidy's is the 1979 downtown American grill on SW Washington at the edge of the Pearl, the place that posts a 02:00 close every single night with a full kitchen and a bar to match.
TipLate-night menu runs to last call; the bar is the way at 23:00, but the dining room stays seated until close.
Star Bar is the Buckman rock-and-roll dive on SE Morrison with a strong jukebox, Guns N' Roses pinball, a Reuben crowd swears by and pours that go to 02:00 on Friday and Saturday.
TipCash-friendly, late kitchen on weekends; the jukebox is loud and the pinball line stays moving past midnight.
Aalto Lounge is the mid-century-modern neighborhood bar on SE Belmont since 2000, named for the Finnish designer Alvar Aalto, with happy-hour pricing through to close and a steady late shift.
TipKitchen runs through the night; happy hour cocktails are a giveaway most evenings, and weekend close pushes to midnight.
