"Bubba's Sulky Lounge, a cavernous Portland drinking institution, is loaded with character, from the armies of taxidermy animals and impressive collection of antiques to a light-up dance floor. If you’re here on a weekend night, it’s a madhouse with a very young crowd. But if you’re here on a Sunday afternoon, when we would prefer it, it’s a great place to start drinking very early in the day—in peace. It's less about the drinks—Budweisers and unremarkable shots—than the vibe." - Joe Ricchio
