Pony up to the bar and order the Thai rendition of pub grub, ranging from small appetizers to bigger-sized entrees. And make sure you've got beer or whiskey in hand.

Red Onion Thai

Red Onion Thai serves up a great mix of homestyle Thai dishes beyond the usual curries and stir-fries. Most of these can be found on the appetizer menu as well as the Thai "specials" menu which had been reserved for ex-pats and Thai students who'd visit the restaurant. And sometimes, like in the case of the nam prik ong น้ำพริกอ่อง, you have to ask for it specifically as it won't be on the printed menu.

Tofulicious

Tofu gets a bad rep for being bland. The Chinese, Japanese and Koreans certainly know how to do tofu right.

A Song of Victory

Victory is one of my favorite bars in Portland, combining an everyman atmosphere with great food and great drinks. It's been the seen to many memorable nights, including the one depicted in the picture, where a six hour long barcrawl required me to take a bit of a smoke break before continuing the festivities. There's no other way to put it: Victory is simply a winner.
