More than 20
excellent rotating taps in a simple 'biercafé' with sidewalk seating. Attached to one of
the city's best bottle shops, which sells over 1200 beers (!) and offers a small cash dis-
count.
Departure Lounge
BAR
( 503-802-5370;
www.departureportland.com
; 525 SW Morrison St; 4pm-midnight Sun-Thu,
to 1am Fri & Sat)
This rooftop restaurant-bar, atop the 15th floor of the Nines Hotel, fills a
deep downtown void: a cool bar with unforgettable views of Pioneer Courthouse Sq and
the Willamette River. The vibe is distinctly spaceship LA, with mod couches and sleek
lighting. Hit happy hour from 4pm to 6pm (or late night) for select $6 drinks and less
pricey appetizers.

Medium-roast, small-batch and single-origin coffee beans that result in a
mellow, more subtle cup of java. Free cuppings (tasting sessions) Fridays at 1pm. Also at
555 NE Couch St and 2181 NW Nicolai St (in a cool Schoolhouse Electric building).

Over 20 taps of some of the most experimental, tasty beer you'll ever
drink, laced through with fruits, vegetables and spices. Past beers have included a Meyer
lemon
kolsch
, mango IPA and beet beer with ginger. For dessert, pray it has the salted-
caramel milk stout. Good food and nice outdoor seating too.

www.stumptowncoffee.com
; 4525 SE Division St; 6am-7pm Mon-Fri,

The first microroaster to put Portland on the coffee map, and still its
most famous coffee shop. Proud to deal directly with coffee farmers to ensure quality
beans. See the website for other Portland (and US) locations.
