Joe's Cellar

"Follow Northeast 21st past the trendy boutiques and mod bistros and you’ll find the welcoming fieldstone walls of Joe’s Cellar, a mostly above-ground time capsule of Old Portland grime. Joe’s has two rooms: a small one and a big one, and the energy in each tends to match. The veterans behind the wraparound bar know how to keep the line moving during the after-work crush, but in the quieter moments, Joe’s is a welcoming haven amid the austere trendiness of 21st Avenue." - Ben Coleman
