Scotch Lodge

215 SE 9th Ave., Suite 102, 503-208-2039, scotchlodge.com. Closed Monday-Tuesday.

Self-described as a "whisky bar with a scotch problem," the Lodge has rejuvenated the semi-subterranean space formerly occupied by Biwa with fresh-faced swank. Highbrow cocktails crafted by some of the most interesting artisans in the bar scene are served in elegant glassware and complemented by a modern French menu from St. Jack chef Aaron Barnett and Tim Artale. It's equal parts must-see new bar, connoisseur destination and transportive reprieve from the rowdy surrounding bars.
