Danwei Canting's "Black Bean Wing" for WING WEEK!

What, dear reader, was the greatest week of your life?

Think back on that moment. Treasure its beautiful memory. Then THROW IT IN THE TRASH, because the Portland Mercuryโ€™s Portland Wing Week is about to make every other week youโ€™ve ever experienced look like GARBAGE.

Thatโ€™s right: Starting NOWย to Sunday, October 9, the Portland Mercuryโ€™s Portland Wing Week returnsโ€”with 27 one-of-a-kind chicken wings available at some of Portlandโ€™s favorite bars and restaurants! Even better? Each order of wings will only cost you a mere $6! Yes, it will be amazingโ€”because the Mercury, and our pals/sponsors at Jim Beam and EverOut, wouldnโ€™t have it any other way!

Read on for a complete list of this yearโ€™s wingsโ€”and once you stop drooling, keep a few things in mind:

TIP, AND TIP WELL! Wing Weekโ€™s a ton of funโ€”and making it happen takes a ton of work! Make sure everyone behind Wing Weekโ€”everyone working on the floor, in the kitchen, and behind the barโ€”knows how much you appreciate them. Wing Week couldnโ€™t happen without โ€™em!

WINGS… AND MORE! As subtly implied by the name โ€œPortland Wing Week,โ€ wings ARE the focus of Wing Week. BUT! Each Wing Week location also has an amazing array of sides and drinks that are a perfect match for their wings! Donโ€™t miss out!

HAVE FUN! This is Portlandโ€™s biggest Wing Week everโ€”and itโ€™s almost guaranteed that despite everyoneโ€™s best efforts, thereโ€™ll be lines, sell-outs, and more. So if one location is too crowded? Just come back another day, and in the meantime, hit another Wing Week location!

#PORTLANDWINGWEEKย  The Mercuryโ€™s got you covered with Wing Week updates, reviews, and tips on Facebook, as well as Twitter and Instagram (just search the #portlandwingweek hashtag for loads of up-to-the-second info). And on the WING WEEK homepage, youโ€™ll find useful stuff like a handy map of all WING WEEK locations, which also makes for a great tattoo.
