    I have a Mcmenamins passport and I needed just one more activity stamp to get a $20 gift card. There was a listing for a free lecture At the Mission Theater that sounded very interesting that just happened to qualify for an activity passport stamp. It was a Sunday and they also had an afternoon matinee of the Sci-Fi film “Flash Gordon”. Yeah, the one that Queen provided the soundtrack for. And they It screened that at 3 PM and for only $2 for Adults and kids.
    So I went to the Mission Theater that day. What a deal!

    The Mission Theater is an old looking brick building. It has a balcony in a semicircle shape that looks down on the stage that has a screen behind it. The seats in the balcony are comfortable and there are places you can place your food and drink.

    The bar is below the balcony at the bar where you can buy a wide range of McMenamins drinks. Beer, cider, and cocktails. I was drinking the seasonal cider Blackberry cider. It is very tasty and makes for a nice change from beer. You can also buy food and snacks, but it is rather limited. Typical movie snack type items. Popcorn of course being one of them. And for me the always tempting comfort food– PIZZA.

    A representative from Oregon MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) introduced the Paranormal Pub lecture mentioning that they are sponsored by MUFON and McMenamins. And that they cover a wide range of topics. Like UFOs, Extraterrestrials, Ghosts, ESP, Bigfoot and various other unexplained phenomenon. The Paranormal Pub is help once a month at the Mission Theater.

    The lecture for tonight was Women & Spirituality: Paganism. The speaker was Montana Jordan, a freelance writer, occult specialist, parapsychological researcher, and independent consultant. She covered the basic branches of paganism. And the difference between them. Fascinating and enlightening. I saw several people sitting down at the front of the audience taking notes. And the question and answer discussion at the very end was even more interesting to listen to as it was much more in depth.

    I quite enjoyed this paranormal pub activity they have at the Mission Theater. And even more so the excellent McMenamins drinks. Well, any excuse for a couple pints is a good excuse as far as I’m concerned. And it’s always so much more interesting when you have stimulating conversation to go with your drinks

    Loved the entire concept and the self-guided tours. You can actually still imagine it being a school. Free theater (if you are staying) and soaking tub were added bonuses. Food and drink were great. Quaint neighborhood. Felt like we got a taste of Portland’s quirky side without having to leave the hotel.

    Very good beer here. Good location with parking. Nice snacks. If you want to visit a brewery, consider this one.

    BarBar is still our place even through the pandemic. The outdoor patio is superb; covered, a film on the big screen and several fire pits and overhead heaters for chilly evenings. Besides the great classic burger, the onion rings are about the best I’ve had. The BTA (bacon, tomato and arugula is a great item as well

    Good food. My son loved the dates wrapped in bacon. Outdoor seating was not ideal on a busy street but all indoor seating were taken.

    Friendly spot with great selection of German beers. Beet salad was disappointing. Recommend getting food at one of the food trucks and bringing it over which seems to be what the regulars do. Great outdoor seating and fantastic ambiance.

    Like most bars of a certain persuasion in Portland, Devil's Point has a lot of fun to offer. Drinks were a good price and the dancers were incredibly athletic and creative. Everyone was very friendly (not like that) and had the place virtually to ourselves. Also it feels like a bar, which it is, and not a dance club, which is nice.

    This British pub has delicious fish and chips. The fish is halibut. They also have a large selection of beers on tap, and plenty of stouts that fit with the British pub theme. Right now, tables are very distanced (more than 6 feet) and they have outdoor seating in a front patio and side alley.

    When we were last in Portland -about 5 years ago-I thought I remembered this dining room as a more traditional place but maybe my memory 's wrong. We met some nice people and I thought the food and service were fine.

    I walked into the Ringler's Annex on the west end of the Crystal Hotel, that weird pointed end of the triangular shaped building. Walked around the small bar and down the steps that bring you down into Al's Den.

    Today was the 105th Birthday of the Crystal Ballroom and they were having a Free-For-Al there and at the various Mcmenamins places near it. At Al'd Den they had Todd Clouser playing. So I ordered a pint of Terminator stout and enjoyed the live music. I love the underground bar feel of this place. So cool. So unique. Such a great place to get away from the street and feel you are far far away from it all. Just chilling out.
