Fodor's Expert Review Sonny's

Portland

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

In a Victorian-era bank building with arched windows overlooking an Old Port square, this stylish bar and lounge packs in the late-night crowd. It has quite a list of cocktails, many of which use house-infused liquors—try the chili tequila. Bluegrass and funk bands play on Thursday, and there's a DJ on Saturday. Their Latin American cuisine is a winner, too; at night you can order lighter fare like a poblano cheeseburger with yam fries, as well as entrées like the braised brisket enchilada. On weekends, brunch is served 10–3, and the kitchen stays open until 10:30 pm.
