The Best Dive Bars in Portland

"No list of Portland dive bars would be complete without an entry devoted to Club 21, the legendary tchotchke-cluttered Kerns punk venue. The only problem is that the old Russian Orthodox church it operated out of was demolished in 2017. But all the stuff from Club 21 wound up at the Lay Low in South Tabor, and the good news is that this has been a working retirement. The walls are no less overflowing with midcentury beer memorabilia and the food still garners a single dollar sign on Google maps, welcome signs of continuity in this often uncertain world." - Ben Coleman
