Entry No. 17 — the Portland file — filed under: whisky bar

Scotch Lodge

Decorated, per Eater, "like the home bar hideout of an exiled Romanov" — a windowless whisky den behind an unmarked, barred door with only a sandwich board outside hinting you're in the right place, holding a 300-bottle whisky collection under taxidermy and velvet.

The move: Push past the barred door with no obvious sign, order off Tommy Klus's whisky-forward cocktail list, and pair it with the small-plates menu built around Pacific Northwest ingredients.
