The Richmond Bar is a bar in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Description

The Richmond Bar is located in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood.[1] The bar offers beer and cocktails in a "rustic and cozy space", according to Thrillist.[2] Beers from Oregon and Europe are available; according to Matthew Korfhage of Willamette Week, the cocktails "skew sweetly medicinal" and the "neutral-and-red-hued bar has honed the refined, unshowy comforts now expected of a Portland bar".[3]

History

Co-owners Martin Schwartz and Nate Tilden opened the bar in 2013,[4] in a space formerly occupied by Matchbox Lounge.[5] [6] [7] A back patio was added in 2015, increasing seating capacity by 30 people.[8] In 2016, Tilden was nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award as restaurateur of Clyde Common, Olympia Provisions, Spirit of 77, and The Richmond Bar.[9] [10] The bar closed temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic.[11]

Reception

In The Oregonian 2014 list of "Portland's 10 best new bars", Samantha Bakall recommended the cocktails and described the bar as "deceivingly complex, with far more to offer than a waiting area for Pok Pok across the street. Let the simple, illuminated 'bar' sign hanging on the building draw you into the surprisingly handsome and cozy spot with a British-meets-Pacific Northwest vibe decorated with tufted leather booths, imported wall paper and large wooden tables."[12] [13] Matthew Korfhage said in Willamette Week 2015 bar guide of the city:
