I'm…read moregoing to leave out my experience with the food during nacho week considering it was an event and not their normal. But I did try their Jungle Bird slushie and I really enjoyed it. The flavor was perfect and I enjoyed drinking it on a warm summer evening. The service was good, and the server even let me taste the slushie before ordering since I was between a couple things. Someday I'll have to come back and try their regular food, but in terms of a place to grab a drink, I'd come back.

A great little neighborhood publik house. Coming out of NY, we had no publik houses and was…read morepleasantly surpirsed by these very local and welcoming establishments. The Muddy Rudder can hold it's head high in this arena. The interior has a great feel as an impressive log tabletop stretches out before you when one first enters. The bar is a nice, old wooden bar with the establishment giving a very warm embrace with it's rustic decor and charm. They have outside seating, both street side and in a side patio. As for the beer selection, they do a very good job curating. For example, until recently, one could almost count on there being an import beer on tap. They also do a good job of having a wide variety of styles, they have one on pull tap (if you are unfamiliar, give it a try - you will be glad you did) and they are constantly rotating with truly local brews. They also have a chalkboard which lists all the brews, their ABV and frequently the IBUs. There are 16 rotating taps. Kudos to the person running this part of the operation. As for the food, I have never been disappointed and I have eaten here frequently. I am a sucker for their strombolis. In NY, strombolis were a go-to meal at a pizzeria, but they are few and far between in the PNW. Not only does The Muddy Rudder have strombolis, they also make them in the true stromboli tradition. Do note that the pizza dough here is as close to NY as I have found in Portland, which obviously means try the pizza as well - it is very good. They then offer other food options which have also always only pleased. Do give this spot a visit - you will not be disappointed.

Many years ago, the southeast area known as Sellwood was the most populated area of Portland (more…read morepopulated than Portland itself was at that time). The Sellwood area featured a racetrack, and an infamous bar called the Whitehouse (known for its gambling and prostitution), just off of what is now SW Macadam. The street of Macadam derived its name from the early process of road paving, known as macadamizing. This was the first paved road in Portland near the turn of the 20th century, and tales abound of men racing their horse-pulled buggies down this road to The Whitehouse; an early form of drag racing I suppose. Within Sellwood itself stood a bar known as the Leipzig, and for years this was one of many watering holes on the southeast side near the bridge. Years later, the original owner would sell the Leipzig to its current owners, with one caveat, the Leipzig sign was to remain, and so it does to this day. Today the attached restaurant is known as Gino's. The bar inside was salvaged from a Chicago warehouse by the current owner, and adds a more authentic old-world touch to the atmosphere of the bar (the brass seal from the manufacturer is still on the bar today). The legacy left behind by the original owner, the Leipzig sign, often makes me consider what drives men to want to create and perpetuate legacies? The fish symbolizes the many years back in the turn of the century when fisherman used to come back from a day of fishing to the Liepzig, where the owner would let them clean the fish in the back of the restaurant. I wonder too, how many of those he was given for the Saturday evening special... Distilled http://distilledpublishing.blogspot.com/

I dropped in today on my daily walk and I'm so impressed with what I saw! They the layout of the store is fantastic and easy to find and browse the records. So many records store have the records jampacked and it's incredibly time-consuming to go through to find what you're looking for or just browsing is a pain. That is not the case here as you will see by my pictures! There are so many records to choose from and they are constantly adding to their inventory. Today they have six beers on tap, one cider and they offer wine by the glass. I also have a case where you can pick up beard to go or drink it in house for a small corkage fee. I had a nice chat with the owners and look forward to chatting with them again soon. I wish The Record Pub an abundance of success and plan on stopping after work to have a refreshing drink!

It was neat, clean and welcoming. There is seating upstairs (with the restrooms). It was early evening and the lighting is perfect. The food was WAY above average. I had the fish tacos which were extremely tasty and I wasn't disappointed. Everyone else had the fish and chips which had a light batter. To a person they were very pleased with their meals. The service was great and somewhat remarkable since there was only one server on the floor. They have a large beer selection. I recommend this place for a light spring/summer meal. They have sandwiches, hamburgers and pizza offerings. Check it out.
