It's been a big month for Kachka, Portland's beloved Soviet-era eatery: Owners Israel and Bonnie Morales launched their own house-distilled wheat vodka and opened a new cocktail bar.
Best bites: The bar brings an all-new menu, where regional seafood steals the spotlight.
- Shrimp cocktail, cod liver on rye, tinned fish and oyster shooters in vodka round out the small snack options.
- Full-plate highlights include scallops with corn milk foam and buckwheat furikake, marinated mussel salad, clam poutine and Kachka's classic pelmeni.
The vibe: The 46-seat bar sits inside Kachka's 2,500-square-foot factory, alongside its vodka distillery and dumpling workshop.
- Both the bar and second-floor loft give guests a view of copper-clad stills while sipping horseradish and strawberry vodka martinis.
If you go: Kachka Fabrika (2117 NE Oregon Street) is open from 4-11pm on Thursday, Sunday and Monday, and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
- Kachka vodka is also sold at Kachka Lavka and select Oregon liquor stores.
