Hale Pele

Hale Pele — "House of the Volcano" — is a tiki bar and Polynesian-inspired restaurant in Northeast Portland's Grant Park neighborhood, on NE Broadway. It opened in 2012 in a former tiki space named Thatch, reopened by Portland's Blair Reynolds in partnership with San Francisco tiki figure Martin Cate (of Smuggler's Cove). The room is known for its immersive design, a large sunken bar that puts seated guests at eye level with their bartenders, and signature flaming cocktails; The Oregonian once called it the best tiki bar in America.

Hale Pele runs a serious non-alcoholic program built on the same fresh-squeezed juices and house-made syrups as its full-proof menu, leaning on NA spirit brands including DHOS, Wilderton (Bittersweet Aperitivo) and All the Bitter N/A bitters. Named alcohol-free drinks include Push Pop, Jumanji (an NA twist on a Jungle Bird, with lime, pineapple, molasses and Wilderton), Saturn Return, and Raffle's Boon, and the bar also makes alcohol-free versions of tiki classics like the Lava Flow and Lapu Lapu.
