Paydirt

Paydirt is a dedicated drinking establishment located at 2724 NE Pacific in Portland's Kerns neighborhood, inside The Zipper building on NE 28th and NE Sandy. Named one of Portland's Best New Bars by The Portland Monthly, the long, dark den seats 40 with plush black booths and a semi-secret 1930s phone booth for ordering champagne, Prosecco, or buckets of Miller High Life. The bar features a monolithic wall of booze with a staggering whiskey selection and inventive cocktail program that balances serious mixology with unpretentious charm. The menu keeps drinks simple with classics like Manhattan and rotating bartender's choice Old Fashioned. Paydirt anchors The Zipper's micro-restaurant cluster, offering communal dining with excellent local food carts. Open Monday-Wednesday 3 PM to 11 PM, Thursday 3 PM to midnight, Friday-Saturday noon to 1 AM, Sunday noon to 11 PM.
