North 45

Named for Portland's location on the 45th parallel, this upscale yet comfy neighborhood pub was conceived back in 2005 by two buddies backpacking through South Africa. The world maps used as decorative touches and the far-flung menu speak to the globetrotting nature of the proprietors. Drink options include about 20 beers, 20 wines and an assortment of cocktail concoctions, including the Peruvian Pisco sour (Pisco brandy, fresh lemon and egg white topped with bitters).
