I’d been meaning to visit The Victory Bar ever since Imbibe Magazine named it one of the 100 best places to drink beer in the country. That was almost two years ago, however, and somehow my beer drinking never took me out to SE 37th and Division. Recently, however, I noted an intriguing tweet from @VictoryBar:

When Heather lived in NW Portland, the Laurelwood NW Public House was one of our favorite weekend brunch spots. But since we moved to North Portland, we seldom have reason to visit the neighborhood. Recently, however, we learned that the menu had been revamped, and that one new menu (pdf) item in particular would provide the impetus to revisit Heather’s old stomping grounds:
Poutine $5/$8
House Cut Fries, Cheese Curds,
Mother Lode Golden Ale Gravy
More Poutine in Portland Every Day

Two more restaurants have started to offer poutine on the menu in Portland. I will get to them soon!
Laurelwood NW Public House (2327 NW Kearney) recently underwent renovations, and upon the reopening the revamped menu (pdf) reveals . . .
Poutine $5/$8
House Cut Fries, Cheese Curds,
Mother Lode Golden Ale Gravy
I hope to stop by this weekend – the Mother Lode Golden Ale Gravy sounds intriguing . . .
Irving Street Kitchen (701 NW 13th) opened recently in the Pearl District, and the restaurant received pre-opening press that included this mention of my favorite Canadian foodstuff:
On the side is poutine, a french-fries, cheese-curds and ham-hock gravy mash-up ($6).
But I am a bit concerned that poutine was only a special, because it is not listed on the menu (pdf) found on the website . . . we’ll see!
Hat tip to Devlyn of Savor Portland. She brought both of these items to my attention on the Twitter. (Follow her @SavorPDX, and follow me at @PortlandPoutine!)
