BarFly's Review of Penguin Pub
Around since the late '30s, very cute, cabin-like, penguin-paraphernalia strewn hole in the wall is a gem. 2 for $1 Jello shots at all times. Ask the bartender to find out how you, too, may become "Customer of the Day." Tue/Sat packs 'em in for .75 tacos (veggie or meaty). Open Mon thru Fri 11am-2:30am. Sat 11:30am-2:30am, Sun 12pm-2:30am. $1.75 doms, $2.25 well 4pm-6pm M-W-Thu-Fri, and Sun 1:30pm-3:30pm.
Happy Hours
Friendly and comfortable for a relaxing afternoon. Friendly bartenders. Fantastic Tacos.

The Penguin Pub, Sellwood
This is the bar that you pass by frequently, sparing a glance at the slight decor, but never actually offered patronage. Part of the parking lot is now a defunct Goodwill donation center, which brings its own appeal.
Going in, I expected a large penguin shrine, perhaps with a convenient altar to which alcoholic offerings could be made. Alas, this was not the case. But what makes up for this ill-advised expectation are the 75 cent tacos offered every Saturday night. Hell, it's better and cheaper than taco bell.
And the drinks are solid and cheap. I'm a no-fuss girl, and I enjoy a potent vodka cranberry. There had been a previous occasion where I had ordered said drink at some restaurant, and they charged me a gruesome 7.50. There's something to be said for simplicity, especially when it produces a 3.75 tab.
The attractive barkeep was pleasant, chatting it up with some of the local patrons who inhaled their beer and tacos like they were going out of style. And yes, behind the bar, there was a small homage to the flightless water fowl, but I thought it rather humble. A majestic experience.
