"A music staple in Portland since 1988, Laurelthirst Public House is the kind of neighborhood-y music-oriented dive that has always haunted this corner of Portland, right around the border of Northeast and Southeast. Packed with an eclectic group of regulars, the bar hosts open mics and eclectic recurring acts every night. Food is basic bar fare (as well as ice-cream sandwiches) and the taps offer a good selection of draft beers." - Cooper Green
