goose hollow inn

The Goose Hollow Inn deck is amazing. If meeting up with friends and.or family on a pleasant day (or rainy, cold, windy, snowy day; doesn't matter, there's a covered and heated section) is your wont, tell 'em to meet you at the Goose Hollow. You can't go wrong here. It's across from the max station on SW 20th and Jefferson, directly off the Canyon Rd. exit on Sunset. The beers are served the way nature intended: in 20oz. imperial pints. The menu inspires indecision. The reuben is famous. The old men of Portland come here to smoke cigars and throw back cold ones undisturbed. This is former Portland mayor Bud Clark's institution since 1967.

There is no happy hour at the Goose Hollow Inn. Conversely, one might say the Goose Hollow is always in happy hour mode: everything is cheap. Go for the imperial pints of Henry's for 3 bucks (pitchers $6.75). Glasses of wine for less than $4. The reputable reuben is $8.75, the brisket of beef is $6.75, the turkey dip is 8 bucks. When I'm out with drinking buddies, because I'm a cheap-ass (hence this blog), I usually just go for the $2.50 garlic cheese bread and fill up on PBR ($2.50 imperials!) I will add more pictures of the deck shortly.

Another nice thing about the Goose Hollow Inn is that it's right across the street from a MAX stop. If you happen to be on a red train, and want to go past Beaverton TC, you can get off here, run in, grab a beer, and run back in time to catch the blue train!
