History
Owner Ricky Gomez opened the bar on April 2, 2018.[3][4] Palomar closed temporarily on March 15, 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The bar served a limited menu on a rooftop patio, as of July–August 2020,[6][7][8] and had returned to dine-in service by October.[9]
Palomar was named Bar of the Year by The Oregonian.[11] In 2018, Jackson-Glidden of Eater Portland said the bar's "ambience is simply transportive" and wrote,[1] "Palomar is the great people pleaser, serving playful blended daiquiris and house pineapple gin with the meticulous precision of a master bartender... The gold-flecked tables, palm tree wallpaper, and neon touches give it a breezy, fun vibe, perfect for happy hour."[12] Palomar was named Bar of the Year and nominated in the Design of the Year category for the website's Eater Awards.[1][13][14] In 2019, Eater Portland's Alex Frane called Palomar an "essential cocktail destination" of Portland,[15] and the website's Ron Scott included the bar in the 2020 overview of "stellar" Caribbean food in the city.[16]
