I guess I need to get out more often. One of the first places friends took me to in Portland when I moved here was the Virginia Café. It’s just old school hipster cocktail lounge. They aren’t stingy with the pours and have a great happy hour.

The other thing is it was right downtown, but didn’t seem like a downtown place. And it wasn’t too expensive. Key for our group. Get the most for your moolah. So a couple of nights ago we head over and ― what?! ― the place is gone! It was heartbreaking.

Until we got wise. Worry not, VC fans, the place has dragged itself a bit further east to a new location over on 10th and Main. The new digs are now right across from the main library.

All’s well in liquorland.

Later,
Keith
