Travel to the tapas bars of San Sebastian in Spain without having to go far from your Portland home. Bar Vivant strives to offer an authentic experience of Spanish bar food–really, really good bar food, as they say. This is the place to meet up with friends, for good drinks and eats, while chatting about work, families, and life in general. Crowd around one of the stand-up tables, filling up on exotic dishes and savoring the flavors of Spain. The atmosphere is casual and convivial, and patrons should feel free to toss dirty napkins on the floor to make room for the next round of drinks or snacks.

Get a jump start on the weekend on Tapas Thursday. Before you head back to your Portland home, stop in for free tapas, with the purchase of adult beverages. Round up a group of friends so everyone can sample the amazing tastes of real tapas. Try tinto, a refreshing red wine, similar to sangria, or txakoli, a dry white wine, each just $4 a glass. Bottles of wine are 10% off, too.

For your next big party, consider Bar Vivant to cater the food. You can also rent the metro Portland real estate to make the party a night to remember. Go to Bar Vivant to see the menu and learn more about catering.
