Hey Love

Whether you’re seeking a lively atmosphere filled with Polynesian flair or a cozy hideaway reminiscent of a hidden island cove, Portland’s world-famous Tiki bars promise an unforgettable escape into the enchanting world of the South Seas.

Hale Pele

Hale Pele is one of the nation’s finest tiki bars. Thunderstorms, faint at first, but steadily growing louder, and erupting volcanoes interject a little danger into your tiki experience in the “House of the Volcano Goddess”. They feature exotic cocktails and island-inspired small plates.

Hey Love

Situated in the lobby of the sleek Jupiter Hotel, this bar takes you on a tropical vacation. A lush canopy of plants hang overhead, the music is rich and soulful, and tropical spirits make you think you’re in Hawaii.
