Description

Palomar is a Cuban bar and restaurant on Division Street in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood. Brooke Jackson-Glidden of Eater Portland said Palomar has "'60s-Havana vibes", with "palm-frond wallpaper, strawberry-daiquiri-pink chairs, and gold-flecked tables". [1]

The drink menu includes daiquiris. [2] The food menu included "Cuban diner food" such as croquetas, empanadas, medianoche, and oysters. [2] [3]

History

Owner Ricky Gomez opened the bar on April 2, 2018. [3] [4] Palmar closed temporarily on March 15, 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [5] The bar served a limited menu on a rooftop patio, as of July–August 2020, [6] [7] [8] and had returned to dine-in service by October. [9]

Reception

Palor was named Bar of the Year by The Oregonian . [10] In 2018, Jackson-Glidden said the bar's "ambience is simply transportive" and wrote, [1] "Palomar is the great people pleaser, serving playful blended daiquiris and house pineapple gin with the meticulous precision of a master bartender... The gold-flecked tables, palm tree wallpaper, and neon touches give it a breezy, fun vibe, perfect for happy hour." [11] Palomar was named Bar of the Year and nominated in the Design of the Year category for the website's Eater Awards. [1] [12] [13] In 2019, Eater Portland's Alex Frane called Palomar an "essential cocktail destination" of Portland, [14] and the website's Ron Scott included the bar in the 2020 list "Where to Find Stellar Caribbean Food in Portland". [15]
