Arguing Over Portland’s Best Dive Bars

from City Cast Portland · host City Cast

Portland dive bars are just built differently. Our city’s sticky-floored neighborhood spots are community staples. Today we’re talking with Portland Monthly’s food and drink editor Alex Frane about his list of Portland’s most quintessential dive bars. He has some pretty hot takes on what even constitutes a dive bar — and even hotter takes on why he left some very popular picks off the list.  Featured in today’s episode: The Cosmo Lounge Katie O’Brien’s  Angelo’s The Ship Ahoy Tavern Gil’s Speakeasy Scooter McQuade’s Joe’s Cellar Yamhill Pub Reel M Inn The Perch Bar & Grill The Slammer Tavern  Mad Hanna The Lion’s Eye Tavern Become a member of City Cast Portland today!
