3443 NE 57th Ave., 894-8973, portlandwings.com. 11 am-11 pm Sunday-Thursday, 11 am-midnight Friday-Saturday.
Beer and wings go hand-in-hand. Not because they work
particularly well together, as anyone who has tried chugging beer to
salve capsaicin burn can attest, but because they inhabit the same
spaces. You watch sports with them. You meet up with them at happy hour
after a grueling day at work. You down a pint to get the gumption to eat
that final nuclear-holocaust-flavored wing. Actually, beer is probably
what got you into that position to begin with. So it's only fitting that
Fire on the Mountain makes both—with the beer specifically to "wash the
wings down." The brewery is located at their newest spot on Northeast
57th Avenue, which also serves bitchin' pizza, but you can find their
beer at all three Portland locations. In an age when many breweries
offer haute pub food, Fire on the Mountain took the opposite route and
ended up at the same destination. Grab a few "boneless chicken wings"
(i.e., large chicken tenders) in the house jerk sauce and get a stout to
wash it down.
Happy hour: 3-6 pm daily. $1 off pints, $3 off pitchers.
Entertainment: Sports always on the TV, the occasional spectacle of some poor, sweaty, redfaced sap trying to beat the El Jefe challenge.
