I love this place... I have to visit every time I come back to Portland. It’s completely out of the way if you’re in downtown, and it’s not something that you’ll regret missing, it’s just a place I have a history with. Stuck between a grocery store and old-bank-turned-jewelery store, it looks like a dive on the outside, and inside it’s not great but there have a nice floor of small tables that are lit by candle, and small stage where various blues and rock cover bands play (sometimes with a small cover) and they have a pretty impressive selection of micros. I like to come in on a night with a blues band and sit and drink Lagunitas IPA and Stone Arrogant Bastard. There is a wall of taps behind the bar, and at one point this place prided itself on having something like 100 taps, but now it’s about 20-30. All of your usuall PNW and California micros, but also a few rarities.
