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! Bar visit and episode recording: Friday, March 29, 2024 HBTG theme song: "Frozen Egg" by Lame Drivers Interlude music: "Right Track" by Lame Drivers --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/historybytheglass/message
Portland's food and drink scene is constantly changing, with new spots opening and closing seemingly every month. But there are several old standbys that have survived for decades — some for well over a century. What's the secret behind their longevity? And are they still worth your patronage? Today on City Cast Portland, we're talking with Oregonian restaurant reporter and critic Michael Russell. He's taking us back to Old Portland via some of its greatest and longest-lived eateries. Restaurants discussed in today's episode: Fuller's Coffee Shop Otto's Sausage Kitchen Dan & Louis Oyster Bar Jake's Famous Crawfish Huber's Cafe The Original Pancake House RingSide Steakhouse Become a founding member of City Cast Portland and Hey Portland by March 8 to keep us going for years to come!

On May 15, 1937, WPA writer Sara B. Wrenn sat down with Bert Mendenhall for an oral-history interview, touching on Mendenhall's childhood memories in 1880s Portland as well as the stories told by his father, Rush Mendenhall, who crossed the continent on the Oregon Trail in 1847.

Heatmiser was a band co-lead by Elliott Smith and Neil Gust. It was a vital part of Portland's early 90s punk scene. It was also the launching point for Smith's prolific and influential solo career until his death in 2003. The band recently released a compilation record of early recordings called The Music of Heatmiser. KEXP's Dusty Henry spoke with the rest of the band's original lineup to learn more about the early days of the group and what they took away from revisiting this old material.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But in 1861, the worst floods in state history turned the Willamette Valley into one giant half-million-acre lake and swept several burgeoning towns away. And, despite our flood-control dams, someday it will probably happen again. (Willamette Valley; 1860s, 1890s, 1940s) (For text and pictures, see http://offbeatoregon.com/1704c.willamette-floods-1894-1861-439.html)
We continue our "Best of The Four Top" series by asking: In what ways are music and wine related? Why are music industry veterans drawn to the wine industry? And why do creators launch "vanity labels," whether in music or wine? We're revisiting our conversation about '80s and '90s bands, fine wine, and everything in between.Meet our panelists: Courtney Taylor-Taylor is the lead singer, guitarist, and co-founder of The Dandy Warhols, and the owner of our recording venue, the punk-rock-fine-wine bar The Old Portland. Jay Boberg co-founded the seminal 1980s label IRS Records before going on to run MCA/Universal. He's now the co-owner of Domaine Nicolas-Jay winery. Sheri Hood ran the American branch of the British record label 4AD and managed prominent bands before becoming the proprietor of The Pressing Plant wine label. Katherine Cole is our host.
This week we sit down with to Ms. Noni and Cleo to discuss the story of Old Portland, gentrification, displacement & ultimately the community lost in the wake of revitalization.
Hear born and raised Portlander and multi-faceted foodie Joshua Cole talk about growing up in "Old Portland" back in the day and the city/country juxtaposition he experienced from any early age while attending school outside of the city (where his mom worked for many years), the influence his older sister had on him over the years and the professional sports aspirations he had as a kid, attending college in Eugene and his first job in the food service industry at Cafe Yumm (and yes he does like Yumm sauce!), how he slowly discovered his natural managerial skills in the restaurant setting and began to open new doors with those developing strengths, what lead to the idea and creation of Family Meal, and much more!

Returning guest Bob from our sister podcast Some Kind of Show. John shares his new obsession with Tik Tok which quickly turns to politics. Bob shares his hatred of youtube tutorials and we learn how easy it would be to sneak into Bob's work. We discuss how to have parties as adults and never invite the 'Barbara". Brooks and John complain about their kids and expensive groceries. Bob tells us some Plaid Pantry secrets and we all hate on Subway. We out Bob as a filthy Californian while we lament Old Portland quickly fading away. Bob predicts drone repair will be the job of the future while Brooks wants to get into the solder lifestyle. John visited an auction site full of bones and office chairs. We talk about scrounging, the allure of free stuff and John is gonna reuse his Christmas tree next year. Our question does a great job demonstrating our poor understanding of history. Everyone is officially invited to BobFest 2020 and you are encouraged to come with no supplies and just mooch. Listen to more of Bob (and Siegs and Keith) on their very own podcast, Some Kind of Show! https://somekindofshow.libsyn.com/
Buoyed by a lifestyle-enhancing new sponsor, we embarked on our first HBTG visits of 2020. First, a visit to Portland’s third-oldest bar — a former downtown dive “men’s resort” turned vintage motorcycle joint, Kelly’s Olympian (09:54). Next, we happily marooned ourselves on an island of “Old Portland” goodness amidst a sea of rampant redevelopment at NW 23rd's Nob Hill Bar & Grill (38:54) where Nate ascended into cheeseburger heaven and Alfredo re-discovered a bathroom just short of perfection. New year, same old beautiful bullshit... History by the Glass rolls on!
In which we learn that everyone can enjoy complaining about everyone else. A big thank you to true-crime historian JB Fisher and Dead Memories Portland‘s Kevin-Michael Moore for their thoughts on some Old Portlands.

We're thrilled to have a very special guest with us this week: Linsel Greene, the former bartender of the legendary Tugboat Brewery, Portland's oldest independent nano-brewery, which unfortunately closed down for good last year. We start off with a talk about recumbent and electrics bikes, which a lot of local bicycle mavens love to hate for some reason. In our nerd chat segment, we discuss various types of co-op board games, and our experiences playing them. Finally, we close our episode with a deeply heartfelt eulogy for the Tugboat Brewery, which we all miss dearly. It was a beloved icon of Old Portland, and we were all pretty devastated by its loss.Drop us a line!
