Must See Sights and Landmarks in Portland Area

"Whisky bars seem to be all the rage at the moment, but Honkytonks does things a little differently – here it’s all about the TEQUILA!. If too many ‘lip, sip, sucks’ have put you off it for life, I urge you to try again…this is a different experience entirely. Combined with some pretty amazing Mexican food, moreish Sangria, and a ‘cantina’-like atmosphere, the incense-filled interior of Honkytonks is great for a chilled after work drink, or something a little noisier."

"Honkytonks specializes in Mexican and American fusion cuisine. It is one of the hip places in town to be at. It operates on all days (except Sunday and Monday)."

"Looking for a perfect place to hang out with friends late at night?. Explore the classic drinks menu, quirky weekend parties, and relaxed atmosphere of Knightsbridge Penthouse. The team behind ‘Knightly’ are connoisseurs of funk and hip-hop, so this bar is ideal for a good old-fashioned boogie."

"NOW CLOSED – Another famous place if you are looking for spending your night while boogieing in the disco, is Knightsbridge Pent House. The penthouse offers classic drinks and a comfy relaxed atmosphere. If you are old fashioned and enjoy funk and hip-hop then this place is for you."

"Treehouse is a great little bar in the Sydney Building on Northbourne Avenue…the fitout is impressive, with a beautiful illuminated tree the defining feature. Spread over two floors (main bar and room for boogying downstairs and a more intimate cocktail lounge upstairs), Treehouse is good for a quiet glass of bubbles or slightly noisier cocktails with the girls. You want to head to the upstairs bit which is a bar within a bar and can be reserved for functions."

"Treehouse is a bar, nightclub, and restaurant positioned in Canberra’s city center. With live music and a lively calendar of events, Treehouse is the perfect venue for dance, drink, or a chilled night out. Make sure you try out this place in order to have drinks food and nightlife entertainment all under one roof."

"Snappy and modern with a focal square bar that takes pride of place in the centre of the room, Parlour Wine Room has emerged anew. Packed with tables and cosy nooks with couches perfect for hiding away from the cool of winter, it’s on Parlour’s terrace that you’ll be wanting a seat this summer as you overlook the evolving precinct of NewActon with a signature cocktail in hand."

"Once you’ve made your way past the instagrammers and bloggers crowding A.Baker, you’re in a unique venue that deserves praise for its ambitions. Head downstairs for the ‘speakeasy’ bar – a dim and striking escape from the activity above ground, the feature piece a row of amazing old marine lights, found in Jodhpur. It’s place to relax after work, or to wait for your table with some olives and nuts…but with a voyeuristic one-way glass window into the commercial bakery, it’s a fun way to pass the time."

"Although I haven’t actually tried the pancakes yet, I have tried the French toast version with orange infused maple syrup, mascarpone, mint, strawberries and blueberries. I loved the mascarpone which had also been infused with orange. The contrast of elements worked so well together."

"They ensure that all their baked goods are a delight to bake and enjoy. Additionally, they promise even more delightful customer service. Moreover, it is considered as Australia’s most successful bakery franchise."
