Two cocktails on a tray

Portland bar consulting. Every new drink adds something to the prep list.

Unfiltered Hospitality provides beverage consulting for restaurants, hotels, and bars in Portland, Oregon. We are based in Miami and fly in to develop cocktail menus, work through prep systems, and train your staff.

That garnish takes someone an hour to make.

Our Portland bar consulting covers cocktail development, recipe costing, prep planning, and staff training. A drink that tastes good at a tasting still needs a place on the prep schedule. We work through each recipe with your team, including the time, ingredients, tools, and storage it needs. If a garnish takes too long for the staff you have, we try another version and taste it together. Managers get the recipes and prep instructions the team will use for service.

Portland cocktail menus and prep planning

Look at what the whole menu asks the team to make.

We help Portland restaurants, hotel bars, independent operators, and hospitality groups plan a drinks list around their concept and the people making it. Several good recipes can add up to more prep than the team has time for. We review the full list, check where ingredients can be used in more than one drink, and work through quantities with your managers. We fly in for tastings and training, then help the team adjust the prep as orders come in.

What we do

Three pieces of the Better Beverage Program, built for your concept and put in place on your floor. Quarterly support after launch keeps the standard.

Menus designed to fit your brand, guests, and goals. Every drink costed and tested for speed before it goes on the menu.How it works

Proof

Our own cocktail menu runs at The Sylvester in Miami.

We own and run The Sylvester in Miami, with our office in Hialeah, Florida. Developing drinks and planning the prep are part of our work at home. Our results page documents national client projects with their locations and services. There is no Portland, Oregon project currently listed there. We fly in from Miami for work on site and support your managers between visits.
