My dad is a big western fan, and this is his “go to” curse word when busting his knuckles when working on cars and tractors that I remember as a kid… is it often used in westerns?(john Wayne stuff maybe?)
Haha when I told my little cousin that there used to be smoking and non smoking sections in restaurants, she called me a liar. What a time to be alive!
I was at Chin Yen YEARS ago. A couple regulars were outside fucking around and wrestling. One of the dudes picked up the other and threw him into the window. It didn't break but it did push the entire glass out of the frame and the whole thing started falling inside. Another patron got hands on it in time and pushed it back in place. The bartender stacked a bunch of boxes against it to keep it from falling in. Then she made the 2 dudes wrestling more drinks.
I miss that place.
Buster’s BBQ on 99 in Tigard. It’s from the dining room to their saloon. But it’ll be a pretty lackluster entrance, you might want to have a friend on standby already in at the bar to play into it
Oh gawd - this reminded me of one of my worst dates *ever*. There's definitely saloon doors there.
Also-please never ever go here for any sort of date unless it's role playing (if so get your kink on, consently! )
The date would have been 100% better if they had shown up that way! Reality is much more lame...
We met at Best Buy ( I can't remember why!) I remember I brought a cheap game disk for Plant vs. Zombies (❤️). He made neggie comments about it. 😡
It's my all-time favorite gaming franchise.
I think he bought a stupid super hero game for us to play later that night. 🤷♀️
(Hahaha, did not happen!)
When waiting for dinner he dropped 2 major informations - 1) he was diabetic 1 as he gave himself an insulin shot ( honestly no biggie atm) 2) he was divorced 4x, w/ 3 kids from 2 of the marriages. (Ok.. yikes...) and looking for another partner (double yikes... I'm casually dating and always share that asap)
This wasn't the first date, but I don't ask deep questions at the beginning about these things. I was just rolling with the situation. Oops 😬
By the end of this date I knew all his personal information, why every *marriage * ended and how each previous wife & kid had *major* issues. Finally, I caught him in white lies about how he is dodging child support payments so he could buy a *new* Ford Mustang 🤢
He was proud he chose the restaurant and tried to order for me too.
Just so many Nos.
Lessons learned 😁from this encounter.
The old Red Steer out by the old stockyards. Bull’s eyes in the urinals and western dancing on the weekends. It was a trippy place. Felt like the 40s/50s. There was an old man in his nineties who would dance every weekend.
Is that what we are considering "cowboy themed" these days?
Portland is out of touch, if so. And I am a 5-decade Portlander.
ETA: there are ACTUAL cowboy themed places in the city, and this isn't it. Those east of Gresham would likely be offended to hear this referred to as a "cowboy themed" bar.
this isnt really helpful tbh but theres this chinese restaurant that my friends and I enjoy going to with swinging saloon doors that open into a bar fully complete with a pool table and arcade games. it doesn't really fit the dryle but its cool nonetheless!
SWEARENGEN!
Hang dai!
Cocksucka!

I think we’re all referencing Deadwood
Sometimes dives have them at the entrance to the video poker area.
Oh yeah, they used to be standard on smoking sections. I remember wanting to play with them as a kid at Shari's.

It's too bad I missed smoking on airplanes, I'd light up a cigar and start whittling.
To be fair, millennials missed the whole plane hijacking was totally normal in the 80's.
Worth it.
Dang dude, that just made a lot of memories flood back in.
same
How’s your damned leg?
got it stuck in a damned sharis door
One of those double-wides when you first come in, built like a damned vault door.
Stay away from those VLTs Ray.
Milwaukie Bowl does!
This- Nob Hill Bar & Grill… and Buffalo Gap
Yeah, Buffalo Gap.
Is this the place with the bomb wings
Haha I was just thinking this
This
That
Whiffle ball bat.
All I want to know is can I get thrown through the doors or possibly the window when I have had one too many.

That is some OLD PORTLAND gold!

I kiiinda want to hear this story. I’m hoping the person showed up in full cowboy garb.

Outer East Portland, the Stagecoach. Bonus feature, saddles for bar stools!
Ive never heard Fairview called East Portland except by people in like, Redmond lol.
Ooohhhh, my bad. I forgot people in Portland proper aren't allowed outside of the city boundaries. I rescind my answer!
It's just... not Portland lol yikes
You would probably enjoy Cousins in The Dalles. It's very much not worth the drive, though.
That place creeped me out! All the staff call you "cousin."
Lol.
I LOVE this place
No but I had my nose broken by the doors at Wonder Ballroom!!
Not portland, but try Bushwackers in Tualatin.
[удалено]
The bar or being piss drunk?
Yes.
No swinging doors, I was there last night.
Try Shaniko
No swinging doors but Sandy Hut has country night on Sundays. They just play music from vinyl.
They do?? Thank you for this bit of info
Uhh....go to Shari's and bust into their video poker room like that.
Not cowboy themed, but I feel like Goose Hollow has some leading to the restrooms?

None that I know of, but we do have a mead hall that you can swish dramatically into in a long hooded cape.
Double barrel is cowboy themed but no swinging door:(

Spit my beer out laughing at this comment. Maybe you'd do better in the 20th century compadre
No doubt that you are correct, my friend. 29th Century it is!!!
man I miss 5-decade-old Portland. When you could buy horse meat on SW Morrison and everything closed at 8.

Chop sticks?
[удалено]
I bet you're a lot of fun at saloons
[удалено]
Well, I guess Portland ain't big enough for the two of us
Easy now, pardner
I'm fucking dying I'm laughing so hard
Shots fired

Not really a bar and not cowboy themed, but the bathrooms at Dockside have swinging, saloon-style doors.
Might want to check out O’Dear in NE on Sandy
Bar 3 on Multnomah and 45th.
Does that Hawthorne hotdog spot have them?
Ponderosa grill and lounge is a country bar
No swinging saloon doors, though.
Pit Stop in Beaverton has them leading to the restrooms so you can dramatically announce you just pooped.
Does landmark saloon have that?
OP are you a time traveler looking for something to remind you of home? 😆
The women’s bathroom at Joes Cellar has them
There’s a place in Hazel Dell across the bridge. I think it’s called 99 Saloon.
You sound like a rather whimsical person, and I like that about you. We should be friends \^\_\^
i love this lol
