History

Established in 2012.

Rae’s Lakeview Lounge is a brand-​new, old-​school lounge in the center of the Montgomery Park neighborhood at the top of downtown Portland’s Northwest District. It is a classic, metropolitan bar with a no-​reservations, no-​snobbishness, come-​as-​you-​are attitude. A heavy list of house cocktails are grounded in standards and backed up with eight draught beers, from Rainier to Guinness. An affordable, thoughtful wine list of 40 local and European upstarts are almost all poured both by the glass and the half-​carafe, as well as a few styles of local reds on tap.

The stand-​alone 1946 building where Rae’s has been born is all one room inside, anchored by the bar in the back and cozy booth and banquette seating throughout. Although Rae’s is self-​described as a neighborhood bar first, the food served is wholesome and comfortable. ‘Blue Collar Continental’ is what they call it, all house made, recognizable and robust, Northwestern Americana mixed with a bit of working-​class Riviera, 7 days a week.
