The Portland Hunt & Alpine Club

Delicious drinks! Bartenders are knowledgeable and artfully craft fantastic drinks. If you’re looking for a unique drink, try the, “Green Eyes”. It’s made with a unique liquor called, Chartreuse and is a blend of sweet and earthy flavors. The snapper hot dog and pretzel are great items to enjoy. Get the pimento cheese with your pretzel!

Stopped in for a quick drink. The cocktail menu is inventive with plenty to choose from. Drinks were delicious. Staff was engaging and fun to talk to. Would definitely come back to try more.

Pure Espresso martini reviews - not real espresso. No coffee flavor, just pure sugar.... And flavoring. No beans, not real. 3/10 Would not recommend Espresso Martini. 8/10 would recommend Ordering a spicy pickle martini with grey goose. Other drinks and food TBD.

Such a cool bar with OUTSTANDING cocktails. Was really disappointed I wasn’t hungry when I visited as the rye bread smelled incredible.

This space makes you feel instantly relaxed and comfortable. Patrons are laughing and casually sipping fantastic cocktails! The owners seem to understand how important it is to take care of their staff since they're the daily face of their company! Staff names are listed in the drink menu to show gratitude. Also, the current speciality cocktails are from bartenders who have worked there over the last 20 years as part of their anniversary celebration. The food was delicious - seriously considering the rice crispy treat to end your visit, it's fantastic! Our cocktails were perfectly made (thanks Vivian) and very unique! Can't wait to come back!

Fun spot for quick cocktails and/or dinner. Bonecrusher is spicy and cooling at the same time. Green Eyes is simple, easy to drink and slightly tart. Charcuterie board has mostly vinegar foods but the cabbage is the standout with the rye! The was the first place on our stop and the oyster here were perfect! When we first arrived, I was a bit underwhelmed with the inside but we stayed and I am really happy that we did.

Based on all the accolades we have read over the years for the Portland Hunt & Alpine Club we finally got a chance to stop by before dinner at Bar Futo on a recent trip to Portland. I am not sure if the positive reviews found on sites like Imbibe and Punch reflect the current management, but our recent visit was underwhelming. Starting with indifference to the point of being unwelcoming while being seated, to the napkins thrown at us at the bar, to the warm oysters on salt with "mignonette"( straight vinegar) and the surprisingly limited and kind of random liquor selection, it felt like just another bar. If this place was not so highly recognized (two-time James Beard Award semi-finalists?) I would not bother leaving this review as it is acceptable as just another bar with bites, but I would not recommend it as someplace special.

A casual spot to split oysters and sip a delicious blueberry infused cocktail. They have happy hour ALL DAY Sundays! $1.50 oysters 🙂
