+Lathe26 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 I think it was this one. Not sure if it is the same brand since the label looks so different. https://www.ritterladen.de/Tafeln-Lagern/Met-Weine/Met-Honigwein/Metlikoer-Baerenfang-0-35-l.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Bärenfang is the name of this kind of honey liquor. Never heard of it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Teams Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 If you're talking about the Spartacus I think you're talking about, I think I'm gonna stay in that night. Oh, bless your heart. Yikes, I take it back - I'm not Spartacus! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 FYI, wife and I am staying at the McMenamins Crystal Hotel across the street from the Spartacus (good food and a soaking pool). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonPDX Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I will set dinner reservations again this year. Do we want the same places or is there some place new to try?

colormesticky Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 FYI, wife and I am staying at the McMenamins Crystal Hotel across the street from the Spartacus (good food and a soaking pool). I'm staying with my 92 year old grandmother about an hour out of town. Far less interesting, but free. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 FYI, wife and I am staying at the McMenamins Crystal Hotel across the street from the Spartacus (good food and a soaking pool). You may want to recheck the name. This is what I can see on Google Maps and Yelp: This appears to be the Spartacus across from the Crystal Hotel, and it doesn't look like the serve food there. Or do you mean Scandals? That place is also across from Crystal Hotel, and while Rev and Cmart may feel at home there, there may be others in the group that may not be so ready to party there. I can see why Colormesticky isn't looking forward to going out with us if these are the places we are going to frequent Suggestions from a local: Ringside Steakhouse Henry's 12th Street Tavern Huber's Breakside Brewery Cadillac Cafe Montage Lucky Lab the food carts at SE 12th & Hawthorne the food carts at SW 10th & Washington I think most of the group (~20 people) will be staying near the convention center and wanting to walk, so something near that area is always welcome. Last year it was a bit windy and rainy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colormesticky Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 This appears to be the Spartacus across from the Crystal Hotel, and it doesn't look like the serve food there. Let's just say you don't wanna eat that meat. I... have a Spartacus story and I'm sharing it publicly and don't you judge me! I went in there once, years ago, to get an inflatable sheep (aka a "Love Ewe") as a gag gift for a friend. They were OUT OF INFLATABLE SHEEP. WTF PORTLAND WHY. I ended up getting him a button that said "Women want me, sheep fear me" instead. So. Who wants to play some video games??? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I will set dinner reservations again this year. Do we want the same places or is there some place new to try?So last year we did Red Robin Thursday, and then Steak place, Prime Rib and Cake and Italian place the other three nights right? Which of these do we want to keep or dump? I think wherever we go must be near-ish the convention since most will be walking. I would love to try a different steakhouse one night. The Italian place I think worked for us didn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of these do we want to keep or dump? I think whenever we go must be near-ish the convention since most will be walking. I would love to try a different steakhouse one night.

+Lathe26 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 I could do Red Robin again if others want to go there. I'll just know not to get the "cheesecake fries". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharonPDX Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I'm just sad that there is no Shari's or Elmer's near the convention center - two local (excellent) alternatives to Denny's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (...) The Italian place I think worked for us didn't it? yes, the Italian-but-not-Italian-at-all-for-an-Italian worked very well I really hope to join you guys also this year, but I have only 50% chance of making it. We will see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SoulBuster Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 OK so Here is the list so far. Red Robin - Thursday Stanford's Restaurant - Friday - Up for change cause cmart had terrible steak there last year. Prime Rib and Chocolate Cake - Saturday Italian place - Sunday No Reservations, walk in only. I all for the places we went last year. I am also open for change, it just needs to be within walking distance of the Convention Center. I will do some research over the next couple of days and suggestions are welcome.
