Established in 1907, Dan & Louis Oyster Bar is Portland's oldest family-owned restaurant. Is it really a bar though? Or just a restaurant that serves drinks?
We'll leave that for you to decide. But is it a FANTASTIC place to eat, drink, and connect with Old Portland?
Abso-shuckin'-lutely.
Yes, like Roger Sterling and Don Draper in Mad Men's Season 1 classic "Red in the Face" oyster lunch scene, the HBTG boys were busting after a midday bacchanal of invertebrates, martinis, and cheesecake.
Thankfully for all involved there were no flights of stairs to be climbed en route to the recording studio afterward and the only expulsion was the pure joy of experiencing a Portland classic for the first time.
PLUS, reflections on our visit to one of the newest bars in the city -- Too Soon -- in our April Fool's episode!
