Dating in Portland doesn’t have to feel like a complete waste of time, if you know where to look. We’ve asked the people on Flirt.com who live in Portland where were some of their favorite places to go when they want to meet Portland singles.

Here are the places people mentioned most frequently.

1. The Pope House Bourbon Lounge

Where do you go when you want a good bourbon? The Pope House Bourbon Lounge, of course. When you step through the doors, it’s almost like you’ve step back in time when things were simple and more refined. What once used to be old Victorian houses, the lounge features a massive selection of bourbons and Southern and Cajun-inspired fare. At the secluded bar area, you can embrace the intimacy of chatting with someone new in a quieter setting. If you’re feeling brave, venture down to the Aristocrat, the Pope Houses’ speak-easy style annex that’s downstairs.
