Whiskey Soda Lounge

Whiskey Soda Lounge was a bar and Thai restaurant by Andy Ricker in Portland, Oregon's Richmond neighborhood, in the United States.[1] Located across the street from Ricker's Pok Pok restaurant,[2] the whiskey-centric bar closed in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Portland

The Portland restaurant began serving happy hour in 2010.[4] The restaurant served brunch from 2016 to 2017.[5]

Oma's Hideaway replaced Whiskey Soda Lounge, after closing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brooklyn

Ricker opened a second Whiskey Soda Lounge in Brooklyn, also near a Pok Pok location,[6] in August 2013.[7][8] It was unable to find a sufficient customer base, and closed less than two years later.[9]
