What time do restaurants close in Portland?

Are late night restaurants in Portland worth it?

Late night restaurants in Portland.

After 10pm. Still serving. Still worth going to. Harry ranks them the same way as everything else — Harry Score, Worth It, no exceptions for the hour.

What qualifies as late night

The filter, not the vibe.

Late hours	Open kitchen past 11pm. Not 'technically open but only serving the bar menu'. Harry filters for places that maintain full service through closing.
Not the post-club	A place that stays open late because it's good all day is different from one that exists for the 2am market. Harry scores both on the same standard: Harry Score, Worth It, no accommodation for context.
Local signal	Late-night tourist traps exist. Harry cross-references local and tourist ratings — a 4.5 that's all late-night visitors is not the same as a 4.5 that locals come back for. Same methodology, higher stakes.
