First Friday Artwalk may be at its peak in summertime in terms of sheer numbers, but it’s fall when the monthly extravagan- za truly comes into its own. That back-to- school mentality abounds creativity among the community, so plan your Friday night out around art and aperitifs. Before you dive into the action on Con- gress Street, you’re going to need some liq- uid fortification. Working under the theo- ry that you should start and end your night with the best drinks, we head to Rhum (pictured following page bottom left, 4 Free Street, 536-1774, rhumportland. com). Style is cyclical, and tiki bars appear to be back in. Rhum adopts the theme with a hearty dose of tongue-in-cheek: think cocktail umbrellas, leis, and even a ba- nana made to look like a dolphin garnish- ing your rum drink. Thankfully, it’s saved from going full Hawaiian shirt-style by the subterranean, nightclubby feel of the space. We take a seat at the expansive rectangular bar beneath the palm grass thatch and or- der a couple of Jungle Birds ($12), a potent mix of Black Strap rum, Campari, pineap- ple, and cherry bitters that taste like the last Portland comes alive with art and music.
