Top 5 HBTG Bars (So Far)
History By The Glass
In this episode, we FINALLY answer our most commonly asked question — “What’s your favorite old bar in Portland?” — revealing dueling top-5 lists that settle once and for all which is the city’s best. So grab a stiff drink and hit play to find out where the likes of Cheerful Tortoise [15:45], Corner Saloon [22:30], The Alibi [29:15], Renner’s [46:07], Lutz Tavern [39:26], Jake’s Famous Crawfish [52:40], Nob Hill Bar & Grill [1:01:40] and more rank in our blurry memories!
info_outlineOn the night of Sept. 24, 2019 — they don’t call us the most prolific podcast in America for nothing! — we channeled our inner Thornton Melon and went Back to School, cruising by the University of Portland to pick up friend and alum Shauna Weaver en route to two of the most legendary bars on the Bluff. We made our debuts at the Mock(s) Crest Tavern (13:05) where we discussed the bar’s homegrown branding, stubby stools, vintage glassware, and mayonnaise forward menu. Then, it was off to every Pilot’s paradise, The Twilight Room (45:22), where we perched on slightly stubbier stools, staged a Hamm’s walkout, and soaked in the obnoxious silence of trivia night. It’s the old bar podcast version of Triple Lindy — it’s the latest episode of History by the Glass!
