Pal's Shanty Tavern refers to a pair of dive bars in Portland, Oregon.
Northeast Portland
[edit]The original bar opened in northeast Portland's Hollywood neighborhood in the 1960s.[1] It "had a small-town vibe, with wood-paneled walls, neon beer signs and a cast of friendly regulars", operating in a building which had screened silent films as Elite Theatre from 1914 to 1921.[2][3] The building was designed by Roberts and Roberts, and was also later known as Rose City Park and the Rose City.[4]
The bar's menu included soft-shell clams, Parmesan garlic bread, and beer.[5] It closed in 2013, due to arson, and was replaced by a Hot Lips Pizza.[1][2] Two men were arrested for starting the fire,[6] one of whom was an employee.[7][8] The bar was owned by Cliff and Martha Hanson, and later their children Jim and Sharon.[9] It is included in Laura O. Foster's 2016 book Walking with Ramona: Exploring Beverly Cleary's Portland.[10]
Southwest Portland
[edit]A second bar opened in southwest Portland in 1993, with former Belinda's chef Ross Pullen.[2]
