Raise a glass to the holiday season during Holiday Drink Week. From November 28-December 4, each specialty drink is $7.
Each participating location is making a specially crafted cocktail for the event. Holiday Drink Week can be enjoyed at some of Portland’s best bars and restaurants. So get out, support local businesses and have a great drink. You may even find a great food special to accompany your drink.
24 restaurants are participating in the Portland Mercury’s Holiday Drink Week. I’ve listed the bars in alphabetical orders with the cocktail description and bar address. Be sure to check open hours before you visit these locations.
