Pal's Shanty Tavern refers to a pair of dive bars in Portland, Oregon.
[1] It "had a small-town vibe, with wood-paneled walls, neon beer signs and a cast of friendly regulars", operating in a building which had screened silent films as Elite Theatre from 1914 to 1921.
[4] The bar's menu included soft-shell clams, Parmesan garlic bread, and beer.
[7][8] The bar was owned by Cliff and Martha Hanson, and later their children Jim and Sharon.
[10] A second bar opened in southwest Portland in 1993, with former Belinda's chef Ross Pullen.
