#751 - Jolly Roger, Portland - 1/4/2009

In the previous post I noted how rare it to find a charming sports bar. This is one. (web site)

This is a very large sports bar, which means it's fairly impossible to have any of the charm I generally look for in a bar. But as large sports bars go, it was very comfortable and unassuming, and I liked the couches, picnic tables, and plywood, and it seems to fit well in the Ladd's Addition neighborhood.

Nice.

#747 - Capt. Ankeny's Well, Portland - 1/2/2009

Utterly unremarkable, but the bartenders were cool.

#746 - Dirty, Portland - 1/2/2009

New (about 10 months) bump and grind, thumping music, spray-on-tan club in the Old Town area. Not my type of place, but if you're going to have a club like that, why not outfit it with stripper poles and a swing over the bar?
