Super intimate bar. Not even sure if they have a sign. It's the kind of place where they ask what you're feeling, and make a custom drink. Or two. Great for a date.

You could spend a day. The park itself has a rose garden and spectacular view of Mt. Hood, but also play structure, tennis courts, & concerts during the summer. It's next to the Japanese Garden and Portland Zoo, both destinations as well. And it's a great neighborhood to walk around if you like historic homes and architecture.

Shopping

Music Millennium is to music what Powell's is to books. It's a locally owned music store just up the street on Burnside. Local lore has it that owner Terry Currier is the one who coined the phrase 'Keep Portland Weird" and he sells the stickers.
