Blitz Ladd
SE 11th and Sherman (next to Kettleman’s Bagels)
Blitz Ladd is the new Eastside outpost of everyone’s favorite sub-species of Pearl Rat, the aging fratboy. I’ve never been to the Pearl location (at 110 NW 10th Avenue, (503) 222-2229 but I’m sure that it’s not quite the place that I’d spend much time.

Booze Crews #7: Blitz Ladd
Booze crews # 4-Yamhill Brewing Company
Note: originally posted may 9th, 2006. see end of post for update.
The first impression of this place, which is in the center of Garlic Gulch @ SE 9th and Yamhill, was, um, weird. Parked directly in front of the door when I walked in was an obese, bored-looking palm reader.

Booze crews #1: Basement Pub

“drinking is not all I think about, my interest is purely an academic one which requires much research.”
I live in Lower Buckman, near Garlic Gulch. I recently spotted the acronym ‘LoBu’ to describe lower Burnside; despite our weekly publications’ intense desire to make Portland into [...]
