Expatriate was a restaurant and cocktail bar in northeast Portland, Oregon's Concordia neighborhood, in the United States. Naomi Pomeroy and Kyle Linden Webster opened the restaurant in 2013. It closed permanently in February 2026.
Description Thrillist said, "Arguably one of Portland's most popular cocktail bars, the bartenders at Expatriate are professionally trained mixologists who, in addition to perfecting the classics, have a knack for creating custom or experimental drinks. And in addition to these carefully-crafted concoctions, the bar also offers a menu of refined bar bites. The Prohibition-era vibe is evident from the gold and red decor that is way more sexy than kitschy."
Food options included corn dogs, a Burmese coconut noodle bowl with wheat noodles, coconut sauce, cilantro roast chicken, duck confit and a gooey half-egg, and Brussels sprouts with Napa cabbage, Szechuan pepper vinaigrette, caramelized squash, and ground lamb.
History The restaurant opened in 2013. It launched brunch service in 2016.
Expatriate closed permanently in February 2026. The Filipino restaurant Pamana is slated to operate in the space.
