The Men’s Bar Reopens in September With a Few New Additions T
his summer at MAC will be remembered as beautiful, hot and successful. The resurgence of Splash and the introduction of the Sunset Bistro were extremely well received, offering members the first al fresco dining experience at the club. While it is important to celebrate successes, it’s time to look toward the future.
There are two ways to make Men’s Bar reservations, call 503-517-7630 or online at theMAC.com >dining >reservations In mid-September we celebrate the reopening of the Men’s Bar. It will have been four long months without this iconic restaurant being open to members and their guests, due to the major kitchen maintenance project. While the restaurant itself did not receive any physical upgrades, we are proud to announce new offerings and the return of classic programs.
Pizza Phil Oswalt and the Men’s Bar kitchen team received a state-of-the-art pizza oven and have been perfecting artisanal pizzas over the summer. Look for specialty pizzas on the MACtinis menu.
Cocktails Bar Manager Roni Pervizi has been in the sun all summer at the Sunset Bistro serving Grumpy Margaritas and daily sangria. However, whiskey is always on his mind. Look for a new cocktail list with whiskey classics and some Roni originals. And yes, the dice game returns in full force.
Wine Program Certified Sommelier and new Men’s Bar Manager, Matt Carter, are taking over the wine program. Look for a foundation of Northwest staples with an international flair. There also are rumors of a wine club starting soon. Stay tuned for more details.
Brown Bottle Society Mark Twain said, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much of good whiskey is barely enough.” We strongly believe this at the Men’s Bar, and are excited to bring back the Brown Bottle Society and its corresponding elite membership.
Enjoy your Men’s Bar and MACtinis favorites when the venues reopen for business in September. For the true whiskey enthusiasts, the Brown Bottle Society elite membership gives you 10 percent off all whiskey, a complimentary cocktail and tasting on the first Saturday of every month, and your name on a custom plaque. To become an elite member, you must try 75 different whiskeys. So far, there have been four members who have reached this elite status, with hundreds more on the quest.
Saturdays at MAC are back First Saturday – Brown Bottle Society introduces a featured whiskey and cocktail. Second Saturday – The Prime Rib Buffet features all of your favorite items. Third Saturday – Executive Sous Chef Phil Oswalt’s Supper Club presents seasonal à la carte creations. Fourth Saturday – 50/50 Wine Saturday! It’s 50 percent off all bottles of wine priced at $50 or lower.

Enjoy Summer on the Sun Deck Summer is winding down, but there is still more than a month to enjoy al fresco dining at MAC at the Sunset Bistro.

With the sunny summer weather, the bistro has been open nearly every day. The Sunset Bistro is open from 5-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, weather permitting. Check theMAC.com for weather closures.
