Beulahland is a weird alcove of old Portland that
embraces new Portlanders the same way Egypt embraced Rome or the
Hittites: by slyly assimilating them, rather than giving them their way.
It is a catalog of its community—part bar, part community center, with a
computer for public use and a photo booth to document it all. The
Venderia machine in the back still sells 7-inch records for $2, Nerds
candy for $2.50, and birth control for a mere dollar. The jukebox still
plays CDs, filled by the bar with Gun Club or old soul. Mondays the bar
fills for viewings of RuPaul on multiple screens, while on other nights
the screens display Blazers or Timbers and, on Sundays, video night.
Otherwise, nothing is on TV. Why? Because only Portland and its
obsessions exist at Beulahland.
Happy hour: 4-7 pm daily. $3 wells, $4 martinis, $3.50 micro pints, $2 PBRs, $1 Old German cans.
Entertainment: Blazers and Timbers games, DJs, video karaoke Sundays.
