There’s just something special about a neighborhood bar. These places are more than just pubs and restaurants; they’re an inextricable part of the community. Locally owned and generally no-frills, neighborhood bars are places for gathering, unwinding, and enjoying good drinks and fare. In Portland’s Eastside District, My Father’s Place is a small bar that’s been a hub for locals since 1978. It’s been a haunt for famous musicians and artists (Elliott Smith was a regular here), as well as generations of Portlanders. People come to this unassuming dive bar in Oregon for the laid-back atmosphere and ambiance — and the all-day breakfast, too!
