Try to time it out before 6pm to enjoy a great happy hour menu, and if you have kids, this is the place! They have a little corner of the restaurant stacked with toys to keep tots busy while adults enjoy the locally crafted brews. We love the happy hour kale salad and fish tacos.

urn on this menu, we love the minced chicken, the curry, the wide noodle bowls, the bahn mi, and our kids love the hum bao. It's counter service, and while you're at the counter, don't forget to check out the french-inspired treats.

Drinks & Nightlife
Like a real speakeasy, this old home just has a red light up in a window with no signage, so be sure to take down the address. The owner is an avid collector of prohibition era wares, and the entire place is outfitted in antiques of the like. The cocktails are impeccably crafted. Just beware of a wait on weekend nights; it's a small place with a big reputation and waits can get lengthy.

Entertainment & Activities
Mt. Hood Meadows
14040 OR-35This is our favorite of the three ski resorts on Mt.Hood.
The Portland Children's Museum is tied with Disney as our kid's TOP favorite place in the world. Best suited for children 2-6 or so, but there is also a baby-play area. It's incredibly creative, kept clean, and worth the pretty drive to the other side of the city.
