Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name – or rather, where you can find a good hot drink when it’s cold outside. Same kind of comfort, only you don’t really have to talk to anyone. But you can. Hey, it’s Portland. Go as you please, but just go.
Our top pick for the best Hot Drinks in Portland: the Tough Luck Bar in Woodlawn. With 5 hot cocktails – 4 being infused hot toddies – how could we resist. But don’t stop there. We have some great runner-ups that might just be in your neighborhood (and if you have a place you’d like to share, let us know).
