Honorable Mention Unveils “Unlisted,” An Exclusive Speakeasy Inside The Benson Hotel

Portland, OR — Honorable Mention, Portland’s new premier destination celebrating the legacy and culture of sports, is proud to announce the opening of Unlisted, a hidden speakeasy discreetly located within the iconic Benson Hotel.

Designed as an intimate extension of the Honorable Mention experience, Unlisted offers a refined, late-night atmosphere that blends elevated cocktails, curated music, and a deep appreciation for the pioneers of sport past and present. Guests can expect a moody, minimalist setting that contrasts the vibrant energy of the main bar, creating a layered nightlife experience under one roof.

This new concept builds on Honorable Mention’s commitment to honoring cultural impact particularly the contributions of Black athletes who have shaped the game and influenced generations beyond the field. Unlisted serves as both a tribute and a gathering space, where storytelling, music, and community intersect.

“We wanted to create something more intimate and intentional, while keeping the focus on sport” said JR Duperrier of Honorable Mention’s ownership group. “A space that feels like a discovery where every detail, from the music to the cocktails, reflects legacy, excellence, and culture.”

Access to Unlisted is intentionally limited, reinforcing its exclusive, word-of-mouth appeal. Guests are encouraged to inquire on-site for entry details. That said, Unlisted will be available for private buyouts & events.

The Benson Hotel, one of Portland’s most historic landmarks, provides the perfect backdrop—merging classic luxury with a modern cultural edge.

Location: The Benson Hotel, Portland, OR

Hours: Late-night, limited access
