Vault Cocktail Lounge, previously Vault Martini Bar, was a cocktail bar in Portland, Oregon's Pearl District, in the United States.

Description

In 2016, Matthew Korfhage of Willamette Week described Vault Martini Bar as "a lounge-y refuge serving up umpteen versions of the classic martini, vodkatini or chocolatini".[1] Later operating as Vault Cocktail Lounge, the bar had a Rick and Morty-themed drink menu and hosted disc jockeys.[2]

History

Vault Martini Bar was originally owned by Casey Hopkin. In March 2018, the owners of Vintage Cocktail Lounge purchased Vault Martini Bar.[3] The bar began operating as Vault Cocktail Lounge, starting on June 1,[2] with an updated interior and drink menu.[1][4]

Vault closed by 2022.[5] Collin Nicholas opened the bar Fools and Horses in the space.[6][7]

Reception

In his 2014 list of "30 fireplace-equipped PDX drinking spots", Thrillist's Drew Tyson wrote, "One of the premier and priciest cocktail lounges in The Pearl, Vault makes it worth the cost".[8] The Portland Mercury's 2019 overview of "100 Portland Happy Hours" said:

Vault Cocktail Lounge’s selection of booze is as good as it gets, the staff brings their A-game, and the house cocktails are superlative concoctions... Plus, the happy hour nibbles... are far tastier than your usual happy hours.[9]

In a 2019 overview of the most LGBT-friendly U.S. cities, Robert Deutsch of USA Today called Vault one of the "best LGBTQ hangouts" in Portland.[10][11]
