There was a statement posted that the Happy Hour promotion is for well-mannered, appropriately-tipping customers which we considered ourselves to be, so we bellied up to the bar, sat down, and ordered! I had something called a Slow Burn and my drinking pal ordered a Belmont Jewel.

This place had a fun crowd! The drinks & prices were amazing..

Question...in Portland, do they still have the Church of Elvis??? It is/was across from this wonderful shellfish restaurant

cathexis, I guess not!

The struggles and demise of the 24 Hour Church of Elvis were much lamented. "The church flamed out faster than a hunka, hunka burnin' love,” the Oregonian's Steve Woodward wrote in a story about a tourist who was "all shook up" after coming all the way from Tampa, Florida, to visit the church only to find it closed. Karl Samson, author of Frommer's Portable Portland, described it as “just plain unique."

good Jewish delicatessen? Check out Kenny's and Zuke's

1038 SW Stark St, Portland

Our original plan was just to grab some soup, but once inside where everything smelled & looked and so good, we decided to split a sandwich as well..that turned out to be an stellar idea...

Crush Bar 1400 SE Morrison St Portland,

I enjoyed several Pineapple Drop Martinis.....

Sidebar: If memory serves me right, this is a gay bar. Almost every eating and drinking establishment came recommended by our hotel staff or UBER drivers..

Once my homestate drains itself, which may be a long while, when things get back to normal, I am going to go to Bricktown in OKC.

Maybe hit up an OKC Dodgers game.
