Bit House Saloon was a bar and restaurant in southeast Portland, Oregon, United States.

Description and history[edit]

Bit House Saloon was housed in one of the Nathaniel West Buildings (pictured in 2012), which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The 150-seat establishment opened on July 31, 2015,[1] in a space previously occupied by East Bank Saloon for more than three decades.[2] Bit House Saloon was housed in an 1896 building in the Buckman neighborhood constructed by Nathaniel West; the Nathaniel West Buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Elk Collective oversaw the remodel prior to opening.[1][2]

In 2021, Bit House Saloon closed and was rebranded as Bit House Collective.[3][4]

Reception[edit]

Bit House Saloon was named "Portland's 2015 Bar of the Year" by The Oregonian.[5] The newspaper's Michael Russell included Bit House in his 2016 list of the city's "21 essential bars".[6] In his 2016 review of the bar, Willamette Week contributor Matthew Korfhage wrote:

Bit House is a bit like a circus for bar people.... The crowd, meanwhile, is like a shotgun blasted into a census report—bar service pros, French tourists, old dudes, suburbanites, posh youth, you name it.... I literally never know what to expect in here, but there's always something new, and the eavesdropping at the back fire pit is some of my favorite in town."[7]

Bit House received the editor's choice award for "Bar of the Year" from Mattie John Bamman of Eater Portland, as part of Eater Awards 2016.[8] The bar was included in Eater Portland's list of "25 Happy Hours Portland Can't Live Without" in 2018 and list of the city's "16 Essential Bars" in 2019.[9][10] Thrillist included Bit House in their 2016 lists of "The Best Cocktail Bars in Portland" and "The Best Bars in Portland Right Now".[11][12] Condé Nast Traveler described the bar as "a swanky cocktail lounge, a casual tap house, and a happy-hour destination", with "universal appeal".[13] Bit House was included in the magazine's 2018 list of the city's thirteen best bars.[14]
