Where Portland Bartenders Eat and Drink on Their Days Off | Eater Portland
"If the building from Only Murders in the Building was a bar, it’d be Thunderbird — minus the murders, obviously. Tasteful teal and muted cloudbursts showcase a gallery’s worth of modernist oil paintings and curated arcade amusements on the walls, and in the afternoon, the light passes just so through the trellised ivy onto the long, stately bar rail. For Stephen Pellnat, a professional cartoonist who came up bartending in New York’s East Village, Thunderbird’s right in the sweet spot between a punk basement show and a Michelin-starred spot. “It’s an excellent bar, really good food, very reasonably priced,” Pellnat says." - Ben Coleman
