Someday (sometimes Someday Bar)[1] is a bar and restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[2] Spouses Jessica Baesler and Graham Files are co-owners.[3][4]

Description

[edit]

The cocktail bar Someday operates on Division Street in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood.[5][6] The interior has a U-shaped walnut bar.[7] Someday's patio hosts food carts.[8]

[edit]

The food menu includes Brillat Savarin cheese with local honey, chicken liver mousse with balsamic onions, and sausages from Otto's Sausage Kitchen.[9] Among drinks is the Tiger Porch, which is a tequila sour with tamarind,[10] and the Brother's Keeper, which has clove and cinnamon-infused bitters.[11] Someday also serves natural wine and a vermouth blend.[12]

History

[edit]
The food cart Ruthie's (pictured in 2022) has operated in Someday's patio

The bar opened on January 2, 2020.[13] During the COVID-19 pandemic, owners sold beer and wine via take-out, and participated in an effort to change a law that did not allow alcoholic beverages to be sold via delivery and pickup.[14]

Someday launched the collaborative "Someone series" in 2023.[15]

Among food carts that have operated in Someday's court are Alley Mezza (Mediterranean),[16] Ash Woodfired (pizza), Let's Roll (sushi),[9] and Ruthie's.[8][17]
