Swift Lounge

1932 NE Broadway, 503-288-3333, swiftloungepdx.com.

Somehow both airy and cloistered, this Northeast Broadway lounge fills with chatty regulars throughout the happily extended early evening "jolly hours" to peck at honey-fried chicken crisps ($4), wet their beaks with "sissy" ($6) or "fatty" ($9) Mason jars of cocktails, and give way to the night owls perched alongside the DJ booth.
