"Portland has a handful of British pubs, but none quite like the Rose & Thistle, affectionately referred to as the RAT by both staff and regulars. The Scotch eggs and tartan accents scream United Kingdom, but the tap list is all Portland. For Justin Jameson, an 11-year Beulahland veteran, it’s all about the simple things: the dog-friendly patio, the people-friendly staff, and the low key atmosphere. “I like easy. Nothing complicated,” Jameson says. “Cocktail menus are cool and all, but I’m a beer and a shot kinda guy.”" - Ben Coleman
