BAR IS OPEN, Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez! Saturday, Nov 15 2008
Uncategorized 10:45 am
Hello and Thank you to all of those who’ve offered their help and support along the way! We’ve opened our doors and are serving up some quality food, cocktails and coming soon, live music (closed Tuesdays for the near term). Come in every day from 11:30 till ’round midnight, between 11:30 am and 3 pm you’ll find $1 short Martinis, a knowing nod to Commander’s Palace, the New Orleans legend (with a main course or dozen oyster purchase, limit three) . An updated menu is available online and we’ll be posting more events as things come about. Also, come in and enjoy our ever growing selection of Absinthe (the real deal!) including a delightfully complex and herbal offering from Portland’s own House Spirits!
A few choices for Absinthe…um… um….yeah, they’re all delicious!
YES! Superb! Always fresh and delicious and the best prices you’ll find in town because we sell a lot of them and don’t mark it up for the superfluous accouterments, we like ‘em real fresh and unadulterated! See you at the oyster bar soon!

The good news is we’re getting closer to opening! The bad news is we’re not quite there yet but we have some more pictures of the build. Enjoy!

Things are looking pretty good, the menu and cocktail list is coming together nicely! We’ll be looking to open soon, I hope you’re all ready for some Gumbo, Mud Bugs, a Po Boy and some Absinthe to wash it down! See you at the Oyster Bar soon!

We had a little party menu tasting the other night with a few friends and family. You can get a good idea of some of the offerings from the restaurant from this picture.
Mud Bugs, Absinthe and Abita, welcome to a New Orleans Oyster Bar in Portland!

A few of us got together to do some painting in the space. It’s a big wall but many hands make quick work!

Still moving ahead, it’s looking better but still feels a long way off! Here are a few more pictures, and I’ll be putting up some more soon.

Here we go with the walls. Also we’ve started building the back bar, see the lovely illustration below, it will look a bit different I’m sure, but you get the idea.
Foreman Cheryl is on the site to check the quality of work.
Above we have another view of the bar as one of the electricians goes to work on running wire, and it looks like the OLCC might finally be moving ahead on the Liquor license application we turned in on May 28th, don’t try to move anything through that office quickly.

OK, so we’re on the way, we passed inspection for the plumbing and filled the trenches. The electricians are working away right now running all the power. Here’s a few more pictures.

I’m still trying to learn how to use this Blog so I hope this all comes out OK. Here is a rough drawing of the bar, a drawing of the layout and a picture of the front door (the purple space).
