Portland’s Driftwood Room Celebrates 65th Anniversary with “Drift Away” Campaign!

June 7, 2019

Festivities Include Summer Guest Bartender Series and Anniversary Party in October

PORTLAND, ORE. (June 7, 2019) ­– Driftwood Room, a Portland landmark bar serving thirsty revelers since 1954, will celebrate its 65th anniversary this year with a “Drift Away” campaign featuring a Guest Bartender Series throughout the summer and a 65th Anniversary Party on October 19.

An intimate bar tucked inside the beautiful Hotel deLuxe, Driftwood Room crafts legendary cocktail experiences – from exquisite champagne cocktails to a mesmerizing tableside absinthe fountain service to a flight of unique Manhattans – in a setting reminiscent of a Hollywood movie. With its celebration of 65 years creating exceptional evenings, Driftwood Room invites guests to come in, enjoy a drink, and take a moment to drift away in this historic space filled with memories, new and old.

 

“Drift Away With…” Guest Bartender Series – June through September

As a longtime vanguard and champion of Portland’s craft cocktail scene, Driftwood Room has invited some of the city’s best bartenders to create a unique cocktail to be featured at throughout the summer as part of their 65th-anniversary celebrations.

Each guest bartender will be behind the bar at the Driftwood Room for the launch night (listed below) of his or her custom-crafted cocktail. That special drink will then be available on the menu for one month. “Drift Away With…” Guest bartenders and their launch nights are:

  • Daniel Parker Guidry of Bar Casa Vale – Launching Wednesday, June 19
  • Ricky Gomez of Palomar – Launching Wednesday, July 17
  • Michelle Ruocco of Han Oak – Launching Wednesday, August 14
  • Tommy Klus of Scotch Lodge – Launching Wednesday, September 11

$1 from each guest bartender cocktail sold will be donated to a charity of that bartender’s choice. Charity and cocktail descriptions will be announced each month on Driftwood Room’s Instagram @driftwoodroom

 

Drift Away Anniversary Party – October 19th

When the bartender series comes to a close at the end of the summer, Driftwood Room will throw a Drift Away Anniversary Party on October 19. This party draws inspiration from 1950s beach vibes complete with straw hats, sweetheart necklines, pink flamingos, and a Gin Rummy expert on-hand. More details and ticket information for the Drift Away Anniversary Party to come.
