It is amazing how busy life gets after graduation and how few things seem to fit into everyone's schedules! My friend Dena and I lived together in North Portland when we were still students at the University of Portland, and though we only live blocks away from each other now it seems we rarely have a chance to hit up a happy hour.
A couple weeks ago we finally headed over to Jake's Famous Crawfish for a famous Portland happy hour. Owned by McCormick and Schmicks, Jake's has been a "famous" Portland landmark for over 100 years. Their regular menu includes a wide variety of delicious seafood dishes, the last time I went I was impressed by the large portions and great flavors, so I was disappointed to see how few seafood options were on their happy hour menu. Regardless, the food was cheap and the drinks were tasty. We started out with a drink ($8), the name involved "refreshing" and I can't remember the rest, but it had vodka, fresh lime, soda, and fresh green grapes and it was refreshing in the 95 degree heat!
