Teardrop is like the tattoo that marks
a kill: Portland's first true mixology bar has never been bettered.
Sure, the graceful circle of the bar is like the wheel of death on an
iMac, but it's the shapely drinks that have made it the room where
seemingly 90 percent of Portland's tech venture-capital money is spent.
From a genteel Cobra Kai punch bowl ($56 will ruin a bachelorette party)
to a whiskey-amaro Prodigal Son ($12) that contains the bitterness of
the son who didn't get the fattened calf, Teardrop is what drinks taste
like when they taste good in Portland. It's also what they taste like
when they're good anywhere else: Their "Friends" cocktail list collects
favorites from across the nation, with charmingly complete footnoting
that teaches you the names of bartenders in Philly—for example, Sara
Justice, who designed their guest punch bowl of gin, gin, Chartreuse and
pink peppercorns.
Happy hour: 4-7 pm Monday-Friday. Select food and drink specials.
