Be One Of The First To Try The Delicious Treats and Cocktails At This New Dessert Bar

Desserts are delicious but often become afterthoughts on restaurant menus. Not so at Libre, Portland's new dessert spot on the corner of Southeast Clinton Street and Southeast 26th Avenue. And this dessert bar's offerings aren't any typical piece of cake or cookie that you could whip up at home. Instead, Libre serves innovative, inspiring, knock-your-socks-off concoctions. These sweet beauties are meant for adult palates. Plus, you get to enjoy them along with amazing cocktails in an upscale lounge.

Bonus, the same attention to flavor, aesthetic, and creativity that goes into each dessert makes their drinks (and the bar's ambiance) shine. So, if you're wishing for a gorgeous bar with next-level cocktails, snacks, and sweet treats, you'll find all that and more at Libre.

Libre can be hard to spot but a visit will definitely be worth your while.

The huge floral arrangement on the sleek black central table is an appealing focal point of the bar.

The interior has a dark, lush, tropical vibe. The gorgeous bar seems to glitter with gold and purple.

Libre specializes in mezcal cocktails

and mole desserts.

Watching the bartenders carefully craft your cocktail is almost as enjoyable as sipping your drink. Many of the special cocktails feature mezcal.

The neon Libre sign lets you know you are in the right spot! Libre means "free."

I loved my smoky, spicy cocktail. I also got a killer margarita.
