PDX: Vegan pirates?! Arg
While in Portland two weekends ago we dropped in for a little visit with Dave and Ann. Our favorite married couple keenly offered us numerous Manhattans and after several hours of doing nothing Dave decided to mention that he knew of a secret, yet fascinating bar.Yes, matees - A PIRATE BAR.
After a lot of joking about appropriately dressing-up as a pirate and a lot of cracks involving the exclamation "arg!" and rum we decided to go. It's basically in the middle of nowhere. You may not believe this. I'll admit I barely do, but I swear this is real.
We walk in and everyone is dressed as a pirate. A cheerful and perky pirate-ess(?) tells us we just missed the hoard of pirates and the live msuic(!) and asks if are vegan. "Vegan?" asks Ann incredulously.
Turns out this pirate bar, which comes compete with Jolly Roger and obligatory skeletons, serves %100 vegan food and is very committed to the vegan lifestyle. Yelena confides under her breath that she didn't think pirates were even vegetarian, let alone vegan.
Our doubts are soon soothed: The service is anything but barbaric. The bartender teaches us a pirate dice gambling game (everyone wins a round except Dave) and the kitchen makes Ann a plate of vegan mashed potatoes and gravy that looked mighty tasty.
