I make an exception to my martini order here- there is a pearl onion and seaweed. don't knock it til you try it
Pearl 6101
house seaweed vermouth!!
White Cap
pro tip: sit at the bar and get a burger and a martini. they shake the martini in front of you which is so fun- and it's the perfect temp and so balanced
Spruce
PDX
off the beaten path but a great martini, they serve the extra martini in a glass on the rocks so you can pour it yourself which is fun! great dive bar meets fancy martini vibe
The Lift Off Lounge
if you go before 6:30, you can get the happy hour half-sized martini for 7 bucks. it's the perfect size!
Angel Face
go in the summer and sit outside!
Someday
a classic and delicious martini in a beautifully green setting
The Green Room - Multnomah Whiskey Library
NYC
i used to live next door! they do a whole presentation and pour the martini at your table
Maison Premiere
OG chic martini
Monkey Bar
martinis always pair best with oysters, and taste extra good in a historic building in NYC
