More People Took Lyft to White Owl Social Club Than Any Other Bar in 2016

We all pretend to hate White Owl, but the numbers don't lie...we really, really love White Owl.

Lyft just released 2016 ride data, showing that more people took Lyft to White Owl Social Club more than any other bar in 2016. (I personally probably contributed at least three dozen of those.)

Let's hear it for a dope patio, Tecate-tequila deals and that funky photo booth!

For myself and other 23-year-olds, it's really cool to pretend you hate White Owl, but the numbers don't lie. We love it.

The most-visited restaurant was 10 Barrel Brewing. They don't release data based on seasons, but if we had to guess, most of those rides probably happened between May and September, when the rooftop was "lit."

The most-visited music venue was Mississippi Studios and Bar Bar…we're guessing because it's out of the way? The most-visited transit station was Sunset Transit Center—thank you suburbanites! And the most-visited trending destination is Century Bar—which just may overtake White Owl next year.

Oh, and the most-visited in a category called "Only Portland" is some bookstore on Burnside.
