Onyx |
google
map |
| Portland's
newest nightclub. After an extensive renovation (the Old Liquid
Blue) Onyx is ready to rock. It is an upscale music venue. |
|
Prost!
International Tap House |
google
map |
| A
new tap house located at the corner of Fore St. and Union. They
have over 105 beers on tap. That is all I need to say. |
|
Bull
Feeney's |
google
map |
| An
Irish Pub. Excellent destination for food or a drink. Great for
all ages. Their owner is intimidatingly tall. |
|
The
Big Easy |
google
map |
| The
Big Easy routinely has the some of the best live music entertainment
in Portland. Uncle Eddy at the door is cool as hell. Ken, a bartender/owner,
is a hard-working, cool ass motherfucker. This place is higly recommended. |
| |
Andy's
Old Port Pub |
google
map |
| One
of the friendliest places in town. For an authentic Islander or
Portlander feel, check out Andy's. Great for all ages. The owners
Jen/Rick are the fan favorites. |
| |
RIRA |
google
map |
| The
cougar capital of Commercial St. RiRa's has an excellent menu during
the day and great live bands on the weekend. The crowd is generally
a little older. This is the closest place to my aparment, so I go
ther a lot. I show up drunk and walk back hammered. Joe the bartender
is the man. |
|
Brian
Boru |
google
map |
| The
place is packed all day. It is an authentic Irish Pub. They have
great food during the day and cold beer at night. A perfect destination
for groups of all ages. A nice deck out back is my friend Casey's
favorite. The manager Roger has great style. |
| |
Gritty
McDuff's |
google
map |
| A
Portland staple. The brew pub is a must-see for any visitor. They
have live music on Thursdays and Saturdays. Full menu during the
day. My beer choice is the Brown. The manager is Ryan is chill and
the marketing director Thomas hooks me up, Sweet! |
| |
One
Longfellow Square |
google
map |
| This
is a unique venue that brings performers in from all over the country.
I have never been there, I wish I could get invited. Kind of expensive
for my budget. |
| |
North
Star Cafe |
google
map |
| Whether
you call it a coffe shop or a bar, everyone calls it a great place.
A great place to hangout during the day and listen to music at night.
North Star has a great community feel and I really like the owner
Anna and her goal for the Portland music scene. |
|
Slainte |
google
map |
| A
small bar with a great community feel. Comfortable seats and friendly
service. Great for all ages, especially for a happy hour place during
the week. The owner Ian is the bomb. |
| |
Local
188 |
google
map |
| A
restaurant that sometimes has dinner music. They kind of ignore
me...whatever |
| |
Blue |
google
map |
| A
smaller wine bar with tremendous live musical acts. The best place
in town to take a date. The owner Barry and his girlfriend (I am
not sure how to spell Therese?) are great company. Very fun whenever
I go. |
| |
51
Wharf |
google
map |
| They
have both a restaurant and a night club. At night, 51 Wharf is more
suitable for a younger crowd. They have many televisions, it might
be a world record for customers per TVs- my girlfriend thinks I
like to go there so that I don't have to talk to her. |
| |
The
Asylum |
google
map |
| More
of a younger punk crowd. No one that I know will ever go there and
the ownership has never invited me. I have not made a great attempt. |
| |
Bramhall
Pub |
google
map |
| A
neighborhood pub that is overrated. They have jerks on Thursday. |
| |
The
Stadium |
google
map |
| A
great sports bar. Many TV's featuring whatever game you can think
of. Their manager has never gotten out of his chair to speak to
me, if he could? |
| |
Amigo's |
google
map |
| Routinely
one of the busiest places in town. Better for a younger crowd. Half
of Portland had their first beer at Amigos. The $8 PBR pitcher is
the drink to get. I used to not be sure of this place, but trust
me, it is awesome. |
 |
Dogfish
Bar & Grille |
google
map |
| Great
for Happy Hour and older crowds. The food is excellent. Their manager
is there on Wednesday and no other day? At least that is what they
tell me...Probably the most difficult place in town to get a hold
of. It seems like a NYC chain to me. However, getting Travis James
Humphrey on Friday for happy hour is an intelligent decision, I
will give them that. |
| |
Bubba's
Sulky Lounge |
google
map |
| A
great party destination if you can find it. Bubba did help jump
start my girlfriend's car once, so I will always support this place.
Bubbas has unique party nights and everyone I know that goes has
a blast, go Bubbas. |
