PDX favorites

As far as business trip destinations go, you can do a lot worse than Portland. This time it included visits to some old favorites and new to me gems.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the burger from Clyde Common but holy crap, it was amazing. It’s one of those burgers that’s big enough you wonder how you’re going to get it in your mouth. Add-ons of a fried egg, bacon and blue cheese didn’t make it any easier but it was worth every bite.

For drinks, we stopped by the Multnomah Whiskey Library. They keep the crowd small so everyone has a seat and the whiskey can be savored. This place is as beautiful as the whiskey is plentiful and it’s topped off with impeccable service.

Kask was a new one for me, but the mixologists know what they’re doing. From the fun flaming drink to a punch made with creme de violette, we could not have been happier. And sitting at the bar, we witnessed firsthand all the goodness. It’s a cocktail lover’s dream.

Jupiter Hotel, Portland

The Jupiter is so Portland. From the hipster bands playing in the adjacent bar, to the chalkboard doors, the Jupiter is funky and fun.

And your room comes equipped with everything you may need beyond the minibar. A condom, ear plugs (you’ll definitely need these- the fun comes at a price), and a Breathe Right strip are all gratis.

It’s minimalist in design but since you’ll be up all night enjoying the microbrews and the band, you won’t even notice.
