Oregon Beer

Hall of Records at 3342 SE Belmont St. is a new record store and bar that pours only local drafts! Every Tuesday is Pint Nite! where all drafts are $3 from 7PM – 12AM. DJ starts at 8PM.

This reminds me of Guapo Comics and Coffee where people with two different passions form a great business.

From the blog – “Justin is a vinyl collector and has been in the music business practically his whole life and I have 8 years in the restaurant and bar business and a few years in entertainment under my belt. So we decided to combine our two passions, his for music and mine for owning my own bar and create the Hall of Records.”

On tap now:
Natian Honey Red (Portland)
Klamath Basin 8 Second Ale (Klamath Falls)
Laurelwood Treehugger Porter (Portland)
Upright #6 – Rye Beer (Portland)
Terminal Gravity IPA (Enterprise)

Yelp! has five star reviews though it just opened in August.

Lorena G. – I love Hall of Records! I always get a really good vibe when I’m there, the drinks are cheap/fair price and microbrews/local and a good selection, the music is fabulous, and the employees and owners are the best!

It’s the most brilliant idea–bar meets record shop.  On top of that, the owners are both living out life dreams! One always wanted to open a bar, the other a record store. Boom! Half the rent, twice the awesomeness.

Steve H. – all day happy hour on sundays. a butt load of fun tunes. great service.

Jessica B. – What a lovely place to spend your time.  Hall of Records is a cozy little haven.  I expect it to be the happy hour place for my girlfriends and I this coming winter.  Great music.

Monday 4PM – 11PM

While Portland was hitting the mercury in the high 90′s this weekend I skedaddled out to Lincoln City and then visited Newport, home of the Oregon Coast Aquarium and Rogue Ales Brewery. For the curious or jealous, it was 55 degrees on Saturday.

I love the picture above, just a cool setting for this massive place.  You walk in through the red stack and enter the brewery with the huge stainless steel pots.  For some silly reason I didn’t think the restaurant would be packed at 1:15 but it was and we didn’t have the time for the wait so we chalked this up to a future road trip.

From their site -
The Pub opened in May of 1989, with a small but enthusiastic customer base, made up of curious locals who dropped by to see what was going on and never left. Many joined in and helped with the construction and other projects as needed. The names of many of these early customers have been immortalized with brass plaques that grace the bar today. One of the most notable of these future customers was Chuck Linquist. He was retired, was a home brewer, and had an interest in microbrews. He was also bored and wanted to do something useful. We consider him one of our first employees. His handiwork is still visible at the Pub, the shelves that line the bar area, the light sconces, as well as the memorabilia on the shelf above Mo’s picture, that Chuck brought back from Europe.

There are fourteen Rogue Meeting Halls where you can get your Ale on.
