Loyal Legion beer hall opens upper-level cocktail bar ‘Flora’ in Beaverton
The long anticipated upstairs cocktail bar in Loyal Legion beer hall’s new Beaverton location is finally opening to the public.
Flora cocktail bar at Loyal Legion Beaverton
Flora, is a swank and intimate speakeasy style cocktail bar that looks down above Loyal Legion’s Beaverton’s bar. In contrast to the more raucous crowd in the downstairs taproom, Flora is quieter with a more refined private vibe featuring crystal glassware, and ethereal wallpaper depicting mythical creatures, and cocktails curated by Tiana Stuart.
Flora opens on Thursday, April 28th and it’s reservation-only, but people can begin saving their spot up to one month in advance, beginning Friday, 4/22.

"A critical part of every Loyal Legion is our hidden cocktail bar. At our Portland location, we have Voysey, a 50-person, subterranean cocktail bar, run by Katie Stipe. At the upper level of our Beaverton location, we have Flora, run by Tiana Stuart. A reservation-only bar like Flora will be a first in Beaverton and we are excited to be able to provide our guests with a unique experience." - Kurt Huffman, Managing Partner, Loyal Legion/Flora/ChefStable
Flora Bar Manager Tiana Stuart began her bartending career at Beaverton’s Dublin Pub, back in 2010. Since then she's managed and directed cocktail menus for bars and gastropubs in Los Angeles and Portland, including Prost!
“The pandemic was really hard on me. I saw the decline of my friends and colleagues in the service industry, and I almost quit the industry entirely. A former colleague brought me over to Loyal Legion Beaverton, and I fell back in love with cocktail creation. Customers were asking for obscure things I haven't made in a long time, and it got my wheels turning again.” -Tiana Stuart, Flora Bar Manager
Tiana’s cocktail menu is eclectic. It’s plant based, refreshing, playful, and colorful. “In Beaverton, people are really leaning into unique cocktails, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to make them something to their taste. The menu will change each week, and I want to give the opportunity for my guests to give feedback and lead the direction of the menu.” -Tiana Stuart.
Cocktails on the menu for opening week include the Caribbean Horchata, made with Plantation rum, Money on my Mind, featuring a Tang (yes, Tang) simple syrup, with gin and Lillet Blanc, and Southern Drawl, a cocktail crafted with the perfect blend of whiskey, Aperol, and cayenne simple.
