About this episode
Portland dive bars are just built differently. Our city’s sticky-floored neighborhood spots are community staples. Today we’re talking with Portland Monthly’s food and drink editor Alex Frane about his list of Portland’s most quintessential dive bars . He has some pretty hot takes on what even constitutes a dive bar — and even hotter takes on why he left some very popular picks off the list.
