Even more than brunch, Portland’s truest obsession may be happy hour. In the Great Before, it was practically a requirement in this town that a bar provide discount cocktails and food every day, and many restaurants had joined in as well. After a few dark years, it appears happy hour is back in full force: Nostrana has reinstated its popular late night happy hour, sushi shops are slinging discounted nigiri alongside $1 sake shots, and even higher-end spots have started serving $1 oysters and discounted bottles of wine at certain times each day.
