Sapphire Hotel

Classic cocktails and tapas served in a rich red room

  • Children welcome until 10pm
  • Good Food and Drinks
  • Happy Hour each day 4-6pm

Sapphire Hotel is a lovely little neighborhood bar that serves organic salads and lovely plates to share along with rich desserts and strong cocktails all in a friendly, non-smoking atmosphere.

This Hawthorne neighborhood bar/bistro is neither too pretentious nor overly cute. This is an ideal place for couples or small groups who want to share food, inexpensive wine, cocktails and conversation.

Posts and beams hold up a room that oozes velvety atmosphere, with deep-red walls, dim lighting and soft music. You'll get the feeling that you've stumbled into a French hotel lobby at the turn of the century.

Grab a seat at one of the small tables and banquettes or at the bar. Order a bottle of wine, a cocktail and a bite to eat and expect friendly, welcoming service by the pretty girls that are there to make sure your visit is a good one.

Editorial Review for Sapphire Hotel – by Otis Rubottom

In Short
The lush red walls, Asian artwork and selected pieces of old-school American furniture combine for a well-heeled, East-meets-West feel. The room is large without feeling cavernous and there are both tables and a small bar. Features include simple but tasty wine choices and a hip vibe. The wine list offers nearly 30 selections, available by the glass or bottle. Small plates of food are available, including a tasty cheese and olive platter, salads, pastas and desserts.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Like the warm embrace of new love the ambiance of Sapphire immediately drew me in and set a relaxing tone for the evening. Even though the joint was jumping it some how maintained a sense of personable intimacy. The service was excellent, attentive and professional a quality that sadly many bars in Portland lack. Regrettably I only had time for drinks and look forward to working my way though the menu upon subsequent visits.

Pros: Lush, romantic atmosphere. Fabulous drinks!

Great ambience and amazing cheese plate!! Love the drinks and the servers always look gorgeous and glamorous. My dining partner had steak and said it was delicious. Definitely the best happy hour around. But go early and look amazing...it's worth it.

Pros: Cheese Plate from Heaven

Cons: Service a bit slow
