The Playbook
Crazy-Rare Beers, Whey Fizzes, and Mel Gibson When He Was Cool

Yes Whey: Ox's Whey Bar
2225 NE MLK; NE Portland; 503.284.3366
One-upping Miss Muffet by ditching the silly curds for booze, Whey Bar's the new backyard, indoor/outdoor annex of Argentinean hotspot Ox. It'll feature small plates (rillettes, cheese plates... corn nuts), and more importantly, an exclusive cocktail list rocking house-aged Fernet, in addition to old-fashioned sours, fizzes, and other Ox 'tails now actually made with creamy whey, and packing enough punch to knock you on your tuffet.
Make a reservation at Ox here, then get there early so you can get whey relaxed before dinner

Petal Pours: Saucebox's Floral Cocktails
214 SW Broadway; SW Portland; 503.241.3393
Forgot the roses for your date? Good! Way to not submit to antiquated courtship norms, Portlander! But in case you still want to get anywhere with her, head to the Downtown Asian-fusion mixology hub, which just launched a menu whose drinks get garnished with colorful flowers, including the Ruby Manhattan w/ basil & port, and the peach/vodka/chili 4 O'Clock in Bangkok, which'll go straight to your Murray Head.
Check out Saucebox's happy hour, plus DJ schedule -- both prime times for wooing ladies with boozy flowers -- right here

Hail To The King: Hollywood Theatre's 35mm Revival
4122 NE Sandy; Hollywood; 503.493.1128
Digital remastering can take its toll on classic movies: primitive special effects actually look shoddier, gritty crime sagas end up too clean, and Shelley Duvall's face becomes the scariest thing in The Shining. Thankfully the Hollywood Theatre's launching a series of 35mm screenings where you can slug microbrews and catch gritty prints every week, starting Fri with The Road Warrior and The Evil Dead, and continuing throughout the Fall with stuff like Seven Samurai, Do the Right Thing, and The (slightly less frightening) Shining.
Check out the full lineup of 35mm classics and get advance tickets here

Micro-Micro Brews: Great American Nano Fest
Aug 25th-26th, noon-9p Sat, noon-7p Sun at Buckman Botanical Brewery; 909 SE Yamhill; SE Portland; 503.803.6857
