The White Eagle Saloon is Portland's 3rd oldest bar dating to 1905 (6 years before our house was built by the Rice Brothers), behind only Huber's and Kelly's Olympian, both of which are downtown. Lots of charm here, run by the inimitable McMenamin brothers (see also Kennedy School).

You have to see this place before you leave town. Old school transformed into funky facility housing bars, restaurants, a movie theater, live music, a soaking pool, etc.

Check out their tasting room. Definitely a secret spot. They have odd hours so check their website to make sure they are open. Very unique scene. Tricky to find way down in the bowels of the Left Bank building, but worth the search. Really unique beers. http://www.uprightbrewing.com/tasting-room.html

Food Scene

Amazing food. One of Portland's favorite restaurants, ​OX finds inspiration in the wood-fired grilling tradition of Argentina, and with it, the culinary heritage of Spain, France and Italy. Prime local meats and fish are showcased, along with seasonal produce in distinctive preparations.

The northern outpost of one of Portland's iconic restaurants, the very authentic Thai food restaurant, Pok Pok by Andy Ricker who you may have seen guide Anthony Bourdain through Thailand on Bordain's TV show. Pok Pok Noi (North) features a more limited menu, but many of the staples, and is much much much easier to get into than the original Pok Pok in SE Portland, which doesn't take reservations.

Our go-to dessert stop. Fantastic frozen yogurt in ever-changing delicious flavors with a huge assortment of spectacular toppings. Susan loves it because they always have a few vegan options (made with almond or coconut milk usually) and I love it because it's better than most regular ice cream! Open late.

Find dairy products replaced with nut-based ingredients, such as masala curry cooked with cashew cream, and The Sudra also has a selection of cocktails and mocktails, in addition to wine, beer, and cider. Not super close to the house, but worth the short drive.
