The Best Holiday Drinks and Pop-Ups in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Can a bottom-shelf boilermaker count as a Christmas drink? It can at the Slammer, Portland’s perennially decked-out inner Southeast dive bar, which keeps the Christmas spirit all the year thanks to a thick layer of string lights and holiday kitsch on nearly every visible surface. The tiny space gets dense with office holiday parties this time of year, but there’s a reason locals and tourists alike crowd around the well-worn rail. Don’t expect a lot of frills or fancy ingredients, but there’s nothing quite like a night in the Slammer." - Ben Coleman
