PRODUCE ROW it is! Thursday MAY 9 - say 7:00 until

 

The Produce Row Cafe

204 S. E. Oak, Portland, Oregon

Tel: (503) 232-8355

 

Beer:

29 taps; offerings include beers from most area craft breweries, as well as a couple of imports. 200 bottled beers.

 

Food:

This is the original home of McMenamins-style pub grub, mostly sandwiches with chips, and some snacks. Popular items include the House Special (a sort of steak sandwich) and the Stormin' Norman. For folks on a budget, a large sandwich will easily feed two.

 

Atmosphere:

For over 20 years, the Produce Row has provided funky, simple premises for lovers of a variety of good beer. The place is divided into three rooms: the main front room and bar, a smaller side room, and a back room with a pool table. There's also a fine deck out back with plenty of picnic-table seating, simply wonderful on fine spring and summer days. The Produce Row's interior is humble and unpretentious, and that's just fine, because here, the beer's what matters here. Clientele is just about anyone who likes good beer, from college folks to middle- aged folks from the east-side neighbourhoods. The cabinets on the side of the main entry room have a vintage collection of beer bottles and cans, some of which have been in there for nearly twenty years. That's the Row for you - good beer, a fine place to have it, and historical continuity. May it live on forever.

 

Speaking of historical continuity, one of the original owners of the Produce Row went on to co-found the McMenamins empire. In a sense, the Produce Row is the cornerstone of the entire McMenamins pub group, even if the McMenamins no longer own or run the place.

 

Smoking Policy:

Allowed

Preachin to the choir honey...I'm the proud owner of a '63 Harley panhead, brown metallic, filled seams, teardrop tank, suicide-shifter. Actually go this as a college graduation present from my uncle, who's birthday I share. Got pics of me as a 5 year old on the back of that bike. Also got pics of me, my dad, and uncle rebuilding the engine in 1978 with cans of PBR everywhere.

Around these parts Will, its Rainier Verde or Rainier Rouge that is the industrial beer of choice. Next in line is Hamms, closely followed by PBR. Not that you can tell the difference at that point.

 

Although I don't have a harley, nor do I ride a "hog" (squeal like a pig boy), I've downed many a pint of Hamms with fellows who do. Ride hogs that is. I seem to recall they weren't terribly particular about their beer. Cannabis was a whole 'nother story.

 

My favorite quote from Hunter S. Thompson's "Hells Angels" was when he asked one of the Angels why they let homosexuals hang out with them at biker bars. The Angel is quoted as saying "Look, I don't care who sucks my dick, as long as it gets sucked."

 

Somehow life just seems simpler on that side of the fence.
