Bar Guide 2014: Moloko

By Rebecca Jacobson

Moloko

3967 N Mississippi Ave., 288-6272, molokopdx.com. 4 pm-2 am daily.

With its name and sleek modernist layout, Moloko pays blatant homage to the milk bars of A Clockwork Orange. But the shtick mostly stops there. Moloko's drugs of choice are alcohol infusions (sage-infused gin, blueberry-infused vodka, jalapeño-lime-infused tequila) and absinthe, which finds its way into numerous cocktails. Weekend crowds show up for DJs playing dancehall, funk and Brazilian soul in the turquoise glow of the bar's numerous fish tanks. But on weekdays you'll get your pick of seats on the heated patio, as well as some choice daily deals—$2 off Bulleit on Mondays, for example, or $3.50 sangria on Wednesdays. REBECCA JACOBSON.

Happy Hour: 4-7 pm daily. $1.50 draft Rainier, $3.50 wells, $5 wine and daily cocktails, $6 bloody marys and mimosas, $2 off sandwiches.
Entertainment: DJs, fish tanks, patio.
