The Grog Guide to
Portland, OR
Stumptown. City of Roses. Bridgetown. Home of The Daily Grog. Portland will always hold a special place in my heart. This is a weird, eclectic yet magical city that calls home to many of our favorite vices: the most strip clubs, breweries, and coffee shops per capita in the U.S. (well at least at some point). Though the city has gone through some changes over the past few years, the “weird” allure is still very much alive. Oh, did I mention rain? Yeah you better learn to embrace that real quick if you’re going to appreciate this city. Grab a warm cup of coffee and enjoy all that Portland has to offer.
