Start at Teardrop Lounge for an inventive cocktail. The bar is just a short walk from the square and sets a relaxed tone before the evening rush.

Walk to Jamison Square to find your spot. This pocket park is the central anchor for the view. Position yourself facing south toward the water as the sky begins to shift color.

Watch the sun dip below the skyline. The light fades quickly, but the atmosphere in the square remains lively as the day transitions to night.
17:38
End the evening at Higgins. It is a short walk north from the square. As Oregon’s original farm-to-table restaurant, it offers a chance to taste local ingredients in a warm setting.
