Entry No. 9 — the Portland file — filed under: art

Hale Pele

An immersive Polynesian-pop bar where every twenty minutes the lights dim, thunder rolls, and a volcano erupts over the bar while rain sound effects wash over the room — co-owned by rum authority Blair Reynolds, with a 300+ bottle rum shelf and a private thatched-roof Chieftain's Hut for groups.

The move: Order a scorpion bowl built for two, time your visit around the hourly storm-and-eruption effect, and if there are 8+ of you, book the Chieftain's Hut in advance.
