This was our second trip to the Portland Hunt and Alpine Club. Both times were on the first Sunday of the month which is Tiki Sunday at the Club. They play tropical music. The music is more Hawaii 5-0 than Bob Marley. Resident mixologist, John Myers serves up the drinks. Tiki Sunday features 4 different drinks, each for $9:
- Corn + Oil - blackstrap run and falernum
- Viking Fogcutter - brand, rum, gin, orgeat, and citrus
- Yellow Bird. - rum, line and Galliano
- Montego Bay - rums, citrus, honey, allspice and bitters
If these drinks sound good, its because they are. We recommend the Montego Bay. As you would suspect, the drink menu is terrific. Its why you go to the Club. Wine and Beer selecting is limited. But, last time we were there they did have Bissell Brother's Substance and Rising Tides Daymark. The beer selection does change, always with good options.
Food selection is simple but good. We have tried the snacks but not the meals. We have sampled the popcorn and the house pretzels. Both options were addicting and satisfying. The atmosphere has that clean and neat Scandinavian feel. The location is on Market street with floor to ceiling windows looking out onto Post Office Park.
Service was disappointing. Not great but not bad.
In a coconut shell, we like the Portland Hunt and Alpine Club and we'll go back for the drinks.
