"Practically synonymous with the neighborhood, the late mayor Bud Clark’s iconic pub has been an institution for decades. Some of its customers have been visiting its wide, wrap-around front patio and wood-paneled dining room since the bar opened in 1967. Others have become regulars in the many years since, brought in by the tap list, the menu of Reubens (including turkey and vegan options, all slathered in creamy-tart Russian dressing), and most of all, the welcoming and friendly vibes that have persisted since its opening. Now run by Bud’s daughter Rachel, “the Goose,” as its affectionately known by locals and staff, is a testament to the goodwill and quality of Portland’s old school." - Alex Frane, Thom Hilton
