Drink 2008

By Casey Jarman

Someday Lounge looks, at first glance, like the westside version of the Doug Fir. But that's only skin deep. This swank multi-level nightspot has a soft spot for experimental music, noise and performance art, which, coupled with a vegan menu and large selection of bottled and imported beers, gives it some exotic appeal. The upstairs loft area is outfitted with leather couches and an observation deck for watching the night's performers from a safe distance, while downstairs usually buzzes with a mix of socialites and outsiders. Someday manages to both support a breadth of eclectic music (Thursday nights, for example, are home to some of Portland's best hip-hop DJs) and maintain a fancy bar—a good call for those who like their downtown adventures to be well-decorated.
Perfect Patron: Art-school dropouts and overworked graphic designers looking for some ear candy. (CJ)
