Space Room Lounge and Genie’s Too

4800 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 503-235-6957, spaceroomlounge.com.

The sign on the Space Room notes the place has been "In Orbit Since 1959"—that is, until it was fused together like some head-switching experiment from Mars Attacks with brunch powerhouse Genie's in 2014. A wall of flavored vodkas lends itself well to the stiff, space-themed (in name only) specials. The heated patio is easily one of the best on Hawthorne for damp and drunk Portland nights.
