Drinks & Nightlife

This is my go-to hangout. Great classic Portland tavern with a nice covered patio out back. Friendly bartenders, great cocktails, good selection of Northwest beer and wine. Small menu with some tasty salty bar snacks, charcuterie, sandwiches, and burgers.

One of my favorite bars in Portland. It's an all-vegan bar, with a large menu of vegan comfort food. Seriously, if you are hungry (vegan or otherwise) go here. Famous for their giant mason jar cocktails. Gets pretty loud at night on the weekends. Lots of outdoor seating in the front and back. Usually projecting the Blazers games if there's one on.

This is a pub and music venue, fairly similar to the Free House but one side is the bar and the other side is a small-scale music venue. Booths, large outdoor patio, great spot to catch a show.

This is the little satellite restaurant of the famous thai restaurant, Pok Pok, in Southeast Portland. In my opinion, it's one of Portland's best kept secrets. You'll wait 3 hours at the mother Pok Pok, but can usually find a seat at its casual little sister. It has a reduced menu, but still serving the best of Pok Pok.

Parks & Nature

The park that has it all: baseball diamonds, open fields, playgrounds on the south end, tennis courts, old Portland park character. This is one of my favorite places to have a picnic and spend a lazy summer Sunday.

You could spend forever on these trails, and most trailheads are just a 10-15 minute drive away. Forest park is HUGE so if you're interested in checking it out, ask me for recommendations or find a detailed map online.

Historic 1912 French-style parterre, this is one of Portland's most beautiful formal rose gardens. The official Portland rose, named Mme. Caroline Testout, was cultivated in the garden. Once planted by the thousands along the streets of Portland, this rose earned Portland the name 'City of Roses.'

Everything Else

One of my favorite yoga studios in Portland. Affordable, community-based yoga with $10 drop-ins (be sure to arrive 10-15 mins early if you aren't signed up ahead of time) and new student specials. No frills - just good, cheap yoga.
