BarFly's Review of Tanker
In the heart of the Stumble Zone lies the capsized hull of the Tanker. The sea-worthy attention to detail shows freshly swapped decks and a total lack of barnacles. While you won't mourn for the lost souls of lonely sailors, you will enjoy friendly service, tasty grinders, and possibly the most reliable WiFi in all of Portland. Project Runway every Wednesdays with happy hour deals until midnight. Free noisemakers!

It's small and I'm not a hipster so I feel like a bully when I'm there among the more delicate male clientele. But they always provide good service. I just feel very, very bad about ordering food because the bartender has to stop what he's doing to make it. Where did the jukebox go? I'm not feeling the IPOD thing.
This is pretty much the only spot in the hawthorne triangle where that has windows/view. You can always keep yourself amused with the comedy that presents itself with people stumbling in/out of the Space Room. Good bartenders and a nice spacious room which beats the claustro feel of Sewickley's and Water Trough.
My new favorite in Barmuda. Just because it is close to home. Yes you have seen me stumbling in the stumble zone as I make a foray from my lofty Tabor treetop lair. I will make great use of the Tanker. This pleases me. Cheaper and more dive-worthy then Sapphire. Not as pukesome as Sick-quickly's. It is dark, good beers and they have that... Wait, it's on the tip of my tongue... I just read about it on the Interwebs... OH YEAH, now I remember... They have booze. Sweet booze.
Just recently rode by/into the Tanker after watching 4th of July explosions down by the river. They were showing the feature film, Orgazmo on the big screen over the bar. That was OK in my book.
