DrinkUp?

Thu August 9 at 5:30 PM, Tugboat
711 SW Ankeny St, Portland, OR, USA (Map & Directions)
I'm in Portland Sunday afternoon (5th) through Friday mid-day (10th). I'd love to meet some mefites over drinks. Ideal days for me are Sunday (I get in around 3) or Thursday night. I'm staying a few miles south of downtown and am happy to get anywhere that public transport takes me.
I'd come out on Thursday.

If special-k is staying "south of downtown", somewhere downtown might be the best bet - especially if public transport is involved.
...Tugboat?

Sorry that south of downtown is a bit vague. I'm staying in this hood if it helps but I'm happy to getting anywhere.

Ah, looks like somewhere downtown would be the best plan then, yeah; you can catch a bus up, everyone else can converge centrally.
I'm all for Tugboat if folks are down; one of the more idiosyncratic brewpubs going, if you haven't been there special-k.

So, just to be clear, Tugboat has a somewhat limited menu of food, and I think only serves beer (no hard alcohol, and I think no wine type stuff either). However, it is good beer that they brew themselves. I love tugboat, so I'm not steering you away from it, but just wanted to mention in case you had any specific food or drink concerns. It's also possible that they will have live jazz playing sometime that night- it's a pretty small place, so if the music isn't good, you can't really avoid it.
Not that it's a big deal, we'd be right downtown so there's a lot of other places within walking distance.
Oh, and count me in for Thursday, wherever it is. :)

Thanks for that explanation, Secretariat!
I'm easy as far as bars go so I'd be happy to see y'all at tugboat or anywhere else. I like the idea of moving somewhere else downtown (and updating the thread) if it gets too loud.

Shoot I never cashed in my free beer from Greg! The shame is considerable.

Yeah, it was fun! special-k, just so you don't think I'm crazy- the other SpecialK was the one who used to live in Portland. I'm just unobservant of username specifics.

You should be warned that the free beer in question is a can of Miller Highlife that Greg purchased at the time the debt was incurred and has carried on his person at all times since.
