Bar Casa Vale

215 SE 9th Ave., 503-477-9081, barcasavale.com.

While the gorgeous, brick-lined Bar Casa Vale boasts a solid dinner list of hearth-roasted Spanish cuisine, drinks remain the main attraction here. A massive selection of Spanish wines clues you in to one of the best sherry collections in town. Some of those sherries go into the cocktails, while goblets of G&Ts, pitchers of sangria, and cocktails made with brandy and rum quickly transport you to the coasts and heartland of Spain.
