Aviation American Gin

Nob Hill Fodor's Choice

Opened in fall of 2022 in a stylish 33,000-square-foot building, this new hometown headquarters of the spirit that helped turn Portland into a craft distilling mecca offers 30-minute tours (by reservation only) of the state-of-the-art production areas, a tasting of both the gin and a cocktail in which it's used, and even a peek inside the office of actor and co-owner Ryan Reynolds.

Bull Run Distilling

A pioneer of Portland’s burgeoning craft spirits scene, this Slabtown distillery in a 7,000-square-foot warehouse creates superb single-malt Oregon whiskey, vodkas, and aquavit. Reservations for tastings are a good idea, walk-ins are welcome when space allows.

Freakybuttrue Peculiarium and Museum

Portland doesn’t get much weirder than this oddball museum packed full of macabre kitsch, science-fiction ephemera, and handmade exhibits on such oddities as zombie brains and alien autopsies. You’re encouraged to come in costume (free entry if your outfit impresses the cashier) and snap plenty of selfies. In the shop, peruse gag gifts and tacky souvenirs, and wave farewell to the giant Bigfoot statue on your way out.

Slabtown

A formerly industrial slice of Northwest, this mini neighborhood epitomizes New Portland, with a walking-scale grid of stylish apartment buildings and repurposed warehouses filled with some of the city’s most hyped restaurants. While Slabtown loosely refers to the blocks stretching north from Lovejoy Street to the Willamette River, most of the action is sandwiched between Northrup and Thurman Streets.
