Hey Love

"With a dining room decked out in live plants and festooned with vintage lanterns, Hey Love evokes the atmosphere of 1970s fern bars. Its drinks are executed with modern style and techniques but harken back to a similar era, never taking drinking too seriously. For instance, the refreshingly sweet-tart slushies have been on the menu since opening, and the pro move is still to go with the Utah, Gimme Two!, two slushies blended together into a beautiful dichromatic swirl. Other drinks follow the same party vibes — mango oolong mai tais, spicy margaritas, cucumber vodka sodas on draft, and the Oaxacan Sunrise, a passion fruit margarita topped with a strawberry slushy, served in cactus (naturally). However, fans of more spirit-forward drinks may prefer the bar’s take on a classic Old Fashioned, made with Hey Love’s own single barrel of Maker’s Mark." - Rebecca Roland

"This lush, tropical bar within the Jupiter Next hotel is the spot for a boozy brunch: Bartenders spike coffee with Golden Graham bourbon, pour bloody marys with a heady mix of Old Bay and mushroom bouillon-spiced tomato, tamarind, and Valentina Hot Sauce, and mix choose-your-own-adventure mimosas with orange, grapefruit, or pineapple juice. The food is far from an afterthought, however, with cochinita pibil chilaquiles, scallion pancake hash, and sweet chile shrimp and grits. Brunch is available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays." - Zoe Baillargeon, Eater Staff

"Jupiter Next’s lush, plant-filled cocktail paradise Hey Love is bringing back its “Sleigh Love” holiday season setup through December 30. Along with colored lights, hanging baubles and ornaments, and other over-the-top holiday decor, diners have a special lineup of festive libations to choose from, like the Toboggan Time, a take on frozen Irish coffee topped with a Rumple Minze float, whipped cream, and candy cane sprinkles. On December 23, Sleigh Love will host a “Festivus for the Rest of Us” celebration for those of the Seinfeldian faith, with a special food menu referencing famous moments from the show like matzo ball soup and fried kosher wieners." - Ben Coleman, Janey Wong

"This plant-filled, ’70s-vibed hotel bar fills with locals on Friday nights, piling into booths for colorful slushies and salty mango oolong mai tais. The bar’s Oaxacan Sunrise has been a menu stalwart since the bar opened: Served in a cutesy cactus glass, the cocktail balances the smokiness of mezcal with the bright acidity of passionfruit, topping the drink with a strawberry slushie float. The touch of hibiscus salt on the rim reins in the sweetness of the overall drink, which packs enough of a punch that bartenders won’t serve more than two to any given visitor." - Alex Frane, Eater Staff

"A tropical oasis in the guise of a hotel bar, this jewel box lounge sits directly adjacent to the lobby of Jupiter Next, which opened to much fanfare in 2018. Amid lush overhanging greenery and so, so many tropical plants, Hey Love offers an escape of sorts from the concrete jungle of SE Burnside. The vacation vibes extend to the bar’s menu, which goes big on tropicalia — think a cherry cordial Cosmo, vodka hibiscus punch, or a tamarind-amaro-sarsaparilla mule riff named for old-school Portland institution Loprinzi’s. Snacks like the vegan ceviche made with hearts of palm, crab sliders with pickled ginger, or an elaborate house nacho plate with chile verde and sherry pickled jalapenos make Hey Love worthy of a full-on dinner, even considering the neighborhood’s surrounding talent." - Jordan Michelman
