BarFly's Review of McMenamin's Tavern
Half of the grand NW houses seemingly once belonged to eccentric bachelors of a certain age (with Bud Clark their godhead), and, while most of them no doubt now trade Britcom tapes through managed-living communities, a goodly number still prop up the McMenamin's Tavern. Certainly, the snooker table, browse-able library, and '60s' counter-culture kitsch emanate that same well-padded bohemian ennui. While not the first McMenamin's, the lazy and remarkably-unchanged stretch of NW 23rd and complete absence of anyone under colon-checking duress - all kids to live/work 'round the area are en masse drawn to adjoining look-a-like Old Lompoc's - the sepia-tinged vibe suggests museum lounge. Shame, really. The food may be top of all McMen's with Smoked Mozzarella Grilled Cheese/stuffed-bacon-burgers to complete the heart-stopping dreams of mixed veg/carn couples, there's a dreamily quiet (did we mention no kids?) atmosphere with bizarrely counter-intuitive smoking corner, and, again, the living history's a must for any newcomers showing off the neighborhood they've helped kill. $.75 off wells, $3.15 pints 4-6pm all 7.
