The ruddy, distressed finish on the wall behind the liquor is covered up by intricate metallic panels, and nondescript house music throbs gently on the stereo as if you're in some kind of futuristic gym lobby. Fortunately, the cocktail menu and a few bartenders have been ported over from the eastside to smooth the transition, and its a touch that won't be lost on regulars from Vintage who hope to enjoy a Prohibition cocktail for $8 in a neighborhood where that's a rarity.<ref name="Cottell">{{cite news |last1=Cottell |first1=Pete |title=Montavilla's Favorite Cocktail Bar Transplants an Eastside Aesthetic to the Pearl |url=https://www.wweek.com/bars/2018/06/26/montavillas-favorite-cocktail-car-transplants-an-eastside-aesthetic-to-the-pearl/ |access-date=June 14, 2021 |work=Willamette Week |date=June 26, 2018}}</ref>}}
