Gold Dust Meridian

Gold Dust Meridian is a cozy mid-century modern cocktail lounge on Portland's SE Hawthorne Boulevard, featuring distinctive architectural details including large comfortable booths, slanted teak ceilings, and a custom bar built from reclaimed Douglas Fir wood. The dimly lit space with brick and wood façade houses an extensive classic cocktail menu with new twists on old recipes, complemented by local beers, wines, and comfort food offerings like mac and cheese and fried pickles. Open daily from 2 PM to 2:30 AM with seven-day happy hour from 2–8 PM, the venue provides both indoor seating and outdoor options including a secret grotto-style covered patio.
