Reception

Rum Club was a runner-up in the Best Bar and Best Cocktail Lounge categories of Willamette Week 's annual readers' poll in 2015. [15] In Condé Nast Traveler's 2018 list of Portland's thirteen best bars, Alexander Frane called the menu "a bit scattered, but it all goes remarkably well with what you're drinking". [9] In 2019, 1859 Oregon's Magazine called Rum Club "crowded, loud and a little wild", as well as "a haven for cocktail enthusiasts" with an ambience that "presents a delicious cacophony of sounds and styles".
