Cheers to Cocktails
Tualatin Valley offers a diverse and vibrant cocktail scene, where mixology meets local flair to create unique experiences for both locals and visitors.
Bar June is a cozy cocktail bar located on “Restaurant Row” in downtown Beaverton. This festive place excels in creating fun and innovative cocktails, such as the “Idlewild,” a citrusy and spicy tequila cocktail or the warm and soothing “Tom’s Toddy,” made with gin and applejack.
Flora is a speakeasy located above Loyal Legion, also on Beaverton’s “Restaurant Row.” This “mysterious and fanciful” cocktail bar serves refined cocktails–such as “Lorde Bergamot” with rye, brandy and Earl Grey, and “Azalea” with pisco, strawberry-rhubarb simple syrup and egg white–among the wallpaper adorned with mythical creatures.
The High Ground is a mezcal and tequila cocktail bar–with rooftop dining–in downtown Hillsboro. Think beyond the Margarita (and, yes, they have those, too) with “Carajillo” made with tequila, coffee liqueur and cold brew or “Where There’s Smoke” made with mezcal, tamarind and BBQ spice.
The 649 specializes in seasonal craft cocktails, alongside the classic traditional cocktails. Seasonal cocktails include “The Layover,” a creamy cocktail rum and espresso liqueur, or the herbal “Pele Sour” with pisco, lime, lychee and egg white.
Vex in Forest Grove features an array of classic cocktails, specialties and whiskey and mezcal flights. The “Shankey’s and Cream” features whipped Irish whiskey, coffee liqueur and topped with toasted marshmallow and the “Vex Limoncello Drop” is made with house-made Limoncello and can be made with added flavors.
Whether you’re seeking a classic cocktail or an innovative new blend, Tualatin Valley’s cocktail bars offer the perfect spot to unwind and savor the spirit of the Pacific Northwest.
