BarFly's Review of Albina Green
This sunny spot is better suited to preparing for and recovering from a night of boozing than to drinking away your grey matter on a night out. Lay a solid foundation with a healthy dinner and a couple of drinks here before indulging in some darker den of iniquity (these guys close at 10). Or, rejuvenate yourself with a morning after brunch with bloodys. I absolutely love the menus, which are housed in album covers (I got a John Lee Hooker!), and bear witness to the Albina Green motto: "When this restaurant grows up, it wants to be in a band!" And still growing it is . . . stay tuned for retooled menu and drink specials. Triviology with ShanRock every Sunday at 7:00.
Open Wednesday - Sunday; 8 AM - 10 PM
Happy Hours
Nice little neighborhood bar/bistro. The facilities are clean, the wait staff is nice, if a bit scattered. The evening I visited, there were several things that were sold out on the menu. (Including something I was initially told was available.)
But the food I DID get was all good.
The mushroom soup was flavorful and served with bread and butter. Yum.
The greens salad was a nice size, but the dressing (a supposed balsamic number) was all oil and very chunky herbs. I suggest getting the Green Goddess.
My friend got a bottled beer he seemed to like a lot. I stuck with water.
A cute place (they have a really cool Open Mic on Mondays starting at 8PM).
If they can clean up their menu gaps, it will be someplace I go often.
