The Keg Tavern: How’d it Go?
Travelling without a laptop forces one to be creative as to where and when uploads and posts can occur. I have pictures and video to upload. However, finding the time and the proper ports to use can be challenging. So be patient and pictures and video will come soon. For now, here is a preview of the venue I play tomorrow night. If you’re in Portland, come on by… You know me, It’s free!
The Globe is located aty:
2045 SE Belmont St.
The Globe BarCafe:
To sum up Portland, Oregon in an unassuming and plainly profound way one can do it in one word: “Community.” Long since heeding the unspoken mantra, “Community not Competition” Portland Oregon’s foodie, drinkie, and music scene have all been nurtured and flourished by a populace that understands it’s food, loves it’s music, and welcomes new ideas.
The torch is passed gracefully in this town from the die-hard old-school restaurants and pubs to the new youthfully exuberant restaurant concepts staffed with young talent behind the stick, or in the kitchen. There is enough room for everyone in this town, and Portlanders decide if you get to stay and play. They raise their expectations and proprieters deliver. If not, it’s back to the other side of the bar, Chef-fy.
On SE Belmont, my friend and chef Marc Brazeau and his team are in their first year of staking their claim in the infinite frontier of The Portland Oregon Scene. The deed has been written and The Globe BarCafe is fervently supported by this little neighborhood in SouthEast they call home.
Following the cycle of the day The Globe BarCafe evolves. At Sunrise, a place to get a hot cup of coffee and read, By the Mid-day Sun – a quick-serve lunch counter, At Dusk a dinner-spot, In the witching hours – a Bar. Not to get all linen-shirted and Guru about it, but I forsee many sunrises on The Globe BarCafe.
