Laurelhurst Market sounds like an upscale butcher shop, and it is. But it also has a restaurant with the best steaks in town and some truly creative cocktails. If you fancy yourself a trendsetter, you must try the Smoke Signals cocktail (recently written up in Bon Appetit) which features ice that has been melted over hickory and re-frozen to add a smokey flavor to this whiskey-based drink.

House cocktails are on the pricey side ($8-10) but worth it. They also have half a dozen beers on tap and full wine list, $6-12 for a glass, $21-97 for a bottle.

Outdoor seating includes a side patio and tables along the front of the restaurant. The dining room and bar are swanky-industrial but not so shi-shi you feel uncomfortable in jeans. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, this is not the place for you. If you are a meat-loving carnivore, holy crap: these are some of the finest steaks in town cut from local cows. Have a Portlandia moment while the waiter tells you in minute detail where your beef comes from and what it ate.
