Multnomah Whiskey Library is a temple to spirits in downtown Portland, boasting a commanding collection of over 1,800 whiskeys displayed across wood and leather-clad walls. When it opened in 2013, this speakeasy-style parlor and restaurant immediately became legendary for its exclusive spirits selection and the lengthy wait to secure a seat at the cluby bar. The collection emphasizes Scotch whiskey alongside comprehensive selections of American whiskey, rum, Cognac, tequila, and mezcal. Access is treasured here: getting seated typically takes one to three hours, though membership perks offer table reservations after conquering a two-year wait list. This is serious spirits territory for dedicated collectors and enthusiasts willing to invest time for an exceptional experience.
