Bar · Portland

"The “DTL,” as the locals know Downtown Lounge, a quintessential Portland drinking den, is as consistent a neighborhood dive as can be. Worn leather booths line the room opposite the bar, a jukebox is right up front and the bathrooms look like they belong in a punk rock venue. As for what to drink, keep it simple, look around you, and order accordingly; a PBR and a shot of Jameson will do just fine." - Joe Ricchio
