"I read that the Parkrose sports bar Wooden Chicken Pub closed on June 30; it had been known as a hub for 49ers fans and for daily specials like steak night, baby back ribs, and fish and chips." - Janey Wong
"I learned that the Wooden Chicken Pub closed its doors permanently on June 30 after announcing the closure via social media on June 24 without explaining the reason; the pub, which first opened in 1981, had become a beloved Northeast Portland sports bar and prompted longtime guests to share memories of meeting partners and watching games in the Facebook comments, and as of the article the bar’s phone line was disabled." - Rebecca Roland
"Just east of 205 and a stone’s throw from the Columbia River, the Wooden Chicken Pub is a destination sports bar for fans of Bay Area teams. It also offers one of the best fish-and-chip dinners in town, three pool tables, and a friendly environment for other fans. The nearly 40-year-old pub has a timeless, low-key vibe, and is beloved by its many regulars. The parking is usually ample, except when the pub hosts its popular classic car cruise-in events." - Alex Frane, Nathan Williams

"For whatever reason, chicken gizzards tend to be the domain of bars serving chicken and jojos, as well as old-school haunts like Sayler’s and Tad’s. Parkrose’s Wooden Chicken Pub is actually better known for its fish and chips than chicken, but baskets of fried chicken gizzards served with ranch (and ketchup) do make a fun bar snack. Wooden Chicken is open for takeout and delivery."
