Mission Briefing: Brick Walls and Red Doors
- Location, Location, Location: Look for 36 Market Street. It's an unassuming brick building that blends in perfectly – that's kind of the point.
- The Password is... There isn't one (unless you count a healthy dose of determination). Just look for a pair of unassuming red double doors.
But wait! Don't come waltzing in at noon expecting a flapper to greet you with a mint julep. Lincoln's only opens its secret door after 5 pm, transforming the unsuspecting facade into a portal to a bygone era.
Deep Cover: Infiltrating the Speakeasy
Here's where things get interesting. Lincoln's entrance is a bit of a moving target. The folks who run the place like to keep things mysterious, so the way in can change – sometimes daily! Here's what you might encounter:
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
- A Bookish Entrance: There have been tales of a hidden bookcase that leads to a secret passage.
- Stairway Surprise: Descent into a hidden basement bar is a classic speakeasy move, and Lincoln's might have you doing just that.
- Who Wants to Play Detective? Keep your eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary. A loose brick, a strategically placed painting – it could all be part of the game!
Remember: Taking photos of the entrance is a major faux pas. Finding Lincoln's is half the fun, and the folks there like to keep things under wraps (or should we say, under a cloche hat?).
Mission Accomplished: Victory Cocktail Time!
Congratulations, intrepid adventurer! You've successfully infiltrated Lincoln's. Now, pat yourself on the back, order a perfectly crafted cocktail (they're known for them!), and soak in the atmosphere. Just remember, you're part of an exclusive club now. Keep it hush-hush, and maybe you'll be the one to lead your friends on their own Lincoln's adventure someday.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.

How do I know I'm at the right place? Honestly, you won't until you try the entrance. But hey, that's part of the fun! If it doesn't seem right, don't force it. There will likely be other patrons around who might be able to subtly point you in the right direction.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
How should I dress? Portland is a pretty casual city, but Lincoln's leans a touch more upscale speakeasy. Think sharp and stylish, but comfortable enough to relax and enjoy a drink.
How much does it cost? Speakeasies aren't exactly known for being budget-friendly, but the quality drinks and unique experience are worth it. Expect typical bar prices for cocktails and drinks.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
How do I get back out? Don't worry, there's no Narnia situation here. Once you're inside, there's a normal exit. But hey, if you find yourself inexplicably transported to 1920s Portland, let us know – we'd love to hear about it!
