Menu
The bar and restaurant Pink Rabbit operates on 12th Avenue in northwest Portland's Pearl District. The business is named for the song "Pink Rabbits" by American indie rock band The National.[1] The 1980's-inspired[2] interior is blue and pink.[3] Eater Portland has described the space as "neon-lit" and "stylish".[4] According to Portland Monthly, there is a painting of a pink rabbit by The National frontman Matt Berninger.[5] There is also a neon sign that says, "Employees Must Wash Hands". The Portland Mercury has said, "the whole place is designed within an inch of its flashy, gorgeous life to resemble a bar so perfectly unlikely that it seems custom-built to further the plot in some postmodern novel".[6] Pink Rabbit has picnic tables outside. In 2021, the curbside patio had live plants, mirror balls, rope lights, and speakers.[7][8]
The menu has included Southeast Asian options such as a Thai-style braised oxtail burger with som tom papaya coleslaw and fried shallots, as well as arancini balls stuffed with braised octopus or mozzarella. Other Asian and Asian-influenced[9] options have included banh mi hot dogs, chow mein,[5] and fried rice with kimchi.[10] The food menu has also included deviled eggs with pink pickles, gorgonzola fondue fries, nachos with ahi,[11] pastas such as garlic gochujang noodles,[4] and many gluten-free options.[12]
Many cocktails are named after lyrics by The National,[13] though there have also been drinks named after songs by Fiona Apple and Nirvana.[5] Among drinks is the Internet Famous, which has vodka, guava and oolong tea, and egg whites.[11] The Quiet Company has mezcal and the Sucker's Luck has gin and sherry.[9] The Rosy Minded Fuzz, which is also named after a song by The National, has Floral Hendrick's Gin, soda, egg whites, grapefruit, orgeat syrup, rose water, and cream.[14] The What Did Harvard Teach You has scotch whisky, honey, lemon, ginger and sparkling lambrusco.[15] There are also frozen drinks and a drink with CBD.[3][16]
