"Tulip Shop Tavern, just a few steps from Albina, is one of those bars industry workers love: Bartenders serve both unpretentious-yet-inventive cocktails and dealer’s choice shots, the beer list has plenty of nerdy picks but also domestic tall boys, and the kitchen churns out classic-but-well executed Americana like tavern burgers and wedge salads. The specials board (or Instagram) is often worth a perusal, featuring everything from chopped cheeses to chicken cordon bleu sandwiches." - Nathan Williams
