BarFly's Review of Albina Green (CLOSED)
This place is so closed...but here is our old review. You know, posterity and all that.
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
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.
