Straightaway Cocktails — Restaurant in Portland

Got a chance to check out Straightaway on my way to Portland on the plane. I liked their old fashion so much that the flight attendants noticed and they told me about the tasting room. Met a friend here, and we had an amazing time. The gentleman who helped us was so patient and knowledgeable. He helped us navigate the menu, and I decided on their flight. I let him pick the ones that I wanted, and they did not disappoint. My favorite part was the fact that you got little snacks with each of them. Each of the snacks had a unique taste, and they were locally made! My favorite was the lintiq that had a little something special to it that made it way too easy to sip, and so of course, I had to take a bottle home!

The tasting room was like stepping back in time with the velvet covered seats and gold. They do close at 8 pm, so be aware. Also, if you check in on Yelp, they give you a free sparkling cocktail. Do it early as once they do last call, it's last call. So, I will be back to use that...

Update: Bottom line is they made it right. At first after reaching out, my friend was told that refunds are not guaranteed when the package is refused (it was not. Fed Ex was being uncooperative) and that they could issue a refund minus shipping (shipping was free), or do a new order and she could pay for shipping. After escalation, Straightaway was apologetic and resloved it. We are VERY happy because the product is PHENOMENAL, 10/10 recommend and we did not want to have to stop supporting this small business. If you have not tried it this is your sign.

Went in on an order with a friend. (We are out of state.) Delivery was not completed because the delivery took place during the work day and driver insisted upon signature although there are parcel lockers, which suffice as a signature equivalent in every other case. Regardless, the order was returned and Straightaway refuses to issue a refund. They contend that they are entitled to the money and the...

This past summer my friends and I traveled to Portland and had a chance to stop by their local store. We tried the full range, along with snacks, and they went from refreshing and light to bold and complex with hints of maple and spice. Heat like a warm hug on a cold day. Satisfying on numerous levels.

Visiting these guys was the highlight of the trip (only second to that guy with pet pig we debated feeding bacon to )

I enjoyed the experience and the drinks so much I ordered their holiday sampler for a number of friends this Christmas. There was an issue with the distributor and it seemed the order might not make it in time. What really impressed me was when I informed the team at Straightaway, they took care of it and got an order to me just in time.

Everyone gifted has loved them just as much as I did....
