#2600 - The Slammer Tavern, Portland, OR - 8/24/2014

Slammer Tavern, Portland, OR

Barfly called it "one of Portland's oldest bars," even though I've read it was established only in 1979? It's a nifty little place though -- on the edge of an old industrial district, the outside looks like a ghetto autoshop and inside like a beachfront hippy bar. The low ceilings, small space, and year-round Christmas lights only add to the laid-back neighborhood dive goodness.
