The Oregon Bartenders Guild opened the first ever “Craft Cocktail Cart” in the Cartopia Pod on SE Hawthorne and SE 12th.
Open Friday and Saturday from 6pm to Midnight through Oct 22, during Portland Cocktail Week!
This “cart” or The Hospitality suite is a joint effort with Pernod Ricard - one of the bar guild’s valued partners. Our goal is clear: We aim to shift focus onto the culinary and artistic aspects of bartending while promoting smarter, more responsible drinking. The cart has been fully approved by The OLCC for a total of 10 activations, which began on September 23rd and will continue each Friday and Saturday until Portland Cocktail Week on October 20th. Further dates are planned, but approval is at the discretion of both the city of Portland and the OLCC. Many are due appreciation for this cart, but a special thanks goes to the OLCC! All proceeds of the cart benefit the Oregon Bartenders Guild, a chapter of the United States Bartenders Guild which is a non-profit dedicated to education and the craft of cocktails.
Volunteer spots are available, contact [email protected].
