Luxe American restaurant and bar in a 1910 former train station. The restaurant is pricey but the bar patio is one of our favorite spots, and it has a great happy hour menu. Happy hour is 4 to 6 p.m.; 9 p.m. to close; and all day Sunday.

Nearest liquor store, across the street from Fred Meyer South Gateway shopping center. Oregon is a dry state; most stores sell wine and beer, but you have to go to a state-licensed store to buy hard liquor--but there's no sales tax!
