Hey Love has garnered a positive reception and was named the best hotel bar in the nation at Tales of the Cocktail's Spirited Awards in 2023.

Description

[edit]

The bar and restaurant Hey Love operates on Burnside Street, as part of Jupiter Hotel's Next building in Southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood. Inside is an "indoor jungle"[5] with ferns and other plants,[6] as well as vintage lanterns.[7] Willamette Week described the decor as "a flurry of highly photogenic touches from the South Pacific circa 1976, with intricate floral wallpaper, mismatched photos and a jungle of leafy plants that directly encourage the consumption of sugary, high-proof cocktails".[8]

[edit]

Hey Love serves brunch and lunch.[9] The brunch menu includes birria chilaquiles,[10] "breakfast tots",[11] buttermilk donuts and gravy, cinnamon rolls with CBD caramel, shrimp and grits,[12] a mango basil seed parfait with coconut whip, grits with barbecue sauce and watercress pineapple salad, and squash ganoush with chickpeas and vegan feta.[13] Hey Love has also served ceviche, crab sliders, and nachos with chile verde and pickled jalapeños.[14] The restaurant has gluten-free and vegan options.[15]

The drink menu has alcoholic slushies[16] and other tiki-themed cocktails.[17] Options include the Tropical Contact High (a variation of a piña colada), the Master of Karate & Friendship (frosé with rum, lime, and strawberries), and the Oaxacan Sunrise (mezcal-passionfruit margarita).[18][19]

Sleigh Love

[edit]

Hey Love has hosted a seasonal pop-up called Sleigh Love. The interior is decorated with Christmas lights, ornaments,[29] and Santa Claus memorabilia, and the menu included ceviche, layered taco bowls, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Spanish coffee, eggnog slushies, and hot buttered rum.[30] The Toboggan Time is a variation of a frozen Irish coffee with a Rumple Minze float, whipped cream, and sprinkles of candy cane. On December 21, 2023, Sleigh Love hosted Festivus for the Rest of Us, described by Eater Portland as a "celebration for those of the Seinfeldian faith, with a special food menu referencing famous moments from the show" such as matzo ball soup and fried kosher wieners.[29]

Reception

[edit]

In 2018, Hey Love was nominated in the Bar of the Year[31] and Most Beautiful Restaurant of the Year categories of Eater Portland's annual Eater Awards.[6] Hey Love won in the Best Cocktail Lounge category and was a runner-up in the Best Date Bar category of Willamette Week's annual readers' poll in 2020.[32] It placed second in the same poll's Best Cocktail Bar category in 2022.[33] Hey Love was named the nation's best hotel bar at Tales of the Cocktail's Spirited Awards in 2023.[34][35]
