About Kachka Fabrika
Kachka Fabrika is the newest chapter from husband-and-wife team Bonnie and Israel Morales, opened in 2025 inside their working vodka distillery in Portland’s Central Eastside. By day, Fabrika is where Kachka’s spirits are crafted, and by night it transforms into a sleek cocktail and zakuski bar showcasing martinis, seasonal cocktails, and an elevated seafood-driven menu. For over a decade, the Kachka team has built unmatched expertise in vodka—tasting, serving, and educating on one of the world’s most important spirits. At Fabrika, that knowledge comes to life through freezer-poured vodka, house-made infusions, and pairings of oysters, caviar, and dumplings, all delivered with Kachka’s signature hospitality. Like the flagship Kachka, Fabrika has already drawn national attention, cementing its place as both a distillery and a destination where Portland’s cocktail culture and Eastern European traditions meet.
