Beaker & Flask was a bar and restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[1]
The bar and restaurant Beaker & Flask operated near the intersection of Sandy Boulevard and Washington Street in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood.[2] Food & Wine called Beaker & Flask a "cocktail-driven restaurant",[3] and Fodor's said the "chic" bar served "sophisticated" drinks.[4][5] It had a green interior and a horseshoe-shaped bar.[6]
Beaker & Flask opened in June 2009.[7][8] Kevin Ludwig was the owner.[9] Benjamin Bettinger was an executive chef at Beaker & Flas,[10][11] until 2012. He was succeeded by Anthony Walton,[12] who left in 2013.[13] Brandon Wise[14] and Dave Shenaut also worked at the establishment.[15][16]
Beaker & Flask launched an outdoor summer barbecue series in 2011.[17] The restaurant closed permanently in June 2013.[18][19] Taqueria Nueve later operated in the space previously occupied by Beaker & Flask.[6]
Beaker & Flask was Willamette Week's Restaurant of the Year in 2009.[20] In 2009, Mike Thelin of Portland Monthly said the bar "is confident and comfortable enough to already feel like a Portland classic".[21]
