Moonshine Kitchen & Lounge Turns One!
Moonshine Kitchen & Lounge has awesome drinks, one of the best vibes in town (I would/do go there with a crowd, with a date, or just with my grand old self and it’s always great) and no sign. Well, they have a sign, but it’s an old “Paymaster- Checkwriters and Signers” banner… it in no […]

I missed them completely when they showed up at SW 10th and Alder in the off-season of Cool Harry’s Frozen Yogurt, occupying their space for the winter. They sold donuts, or so I heard.

Gross or Kinda Awesome? You Decide.
Beer just got a little weirder, Blogtown… Rogue Ales’ New Crustacean, to be released early next year (if the looming apocalypse doesn’t shut down production for long) grows from the beard follicles of head brewer John Maier.

Frosty New Offerings in the Pearl
Better late than never? Now a couple weeks open, Riffle (333 NW 13th ave) debuted a select few bites and ample cocktails to friends and media a couple weeks ago and their ice was the talk of the town.
