Birch Street Uptown Lounge

Our vision was to create a space that you might find in the entertainment districts of Portland, Seattle or New York City.  Something that you can't usually find in the suburbs.   We located a 1928-vintage building and spent months transforming it. Our focus on the details shows throughout: The vintage iron table bases, the carpentry and craftsmanship visible in our bar, the restoration of the walls to a true "lathe and plaster" look. Our pictures are from  private family collections, from the local museum and from local government agencies and industry. We're continually adding to the collection, too.   Our music is part of your experience as well. You'll hear Glen Miller and Count Basie big band sounds, all the talent from the Rat Pack, as well as Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, and Julie London. You will hear a little early Smokey Robinson and themes from a 1960s spy movie or two. We spin it with a DJ on Fridays, and feature it live on Saturdays.   Our liquor is top-shelf as well. We sought out a selection from around the world. We also are supportive of the micro-distillery trend blossoming in the Northwest. You'll find Dry Fly Whiskey and Vodka from Spokane, Medoyeff and New Deal Vodka from Portland, Aviation Gin from Portland and Counter Gin from Seattle to name just a few. We make a concerted effort to keep seeking out the best of the best.   We also offer Pacifique Absinthe Verte Supérieure, a super-premium absinthe crafted in the historic Franco-Swiss style from a classic 1855 French recipe. It represents the kind of absinthe one would drink in 19th century France. Birch Street serves it using the classic French Drip Ritual. Legal in the US since 2008. You can find your muse with help from the Green Fairy.
