Neighborhood: East Burnside

Once a gritty, industrial thruway, now a hotbed of consistently rotating boutiques, East Burnside is a stomping ground for wayward hipsters, traveling music-makers and thrift-store junkies. (read more) At the strip’s nucleus is the makeshift-modern Jupiter Hotel and its conjoined indie-rock venue, the Doug Fir Lounge (830 E Burnside St., 231-9663), which Playboy called one of “America’s 10 Best Rock Clubs” in 2007. The Doug Fir’s epicurean equivalent might have to be innovative and unconventional Le Pigeon (738 E Burnside St., 546-8796)—try its namesake bird garnished with cherries, frisée and foie gras. At the nearby and unassuming Rontoms (600 E Burnside St., 236-4536), you’ll find a sizable bar hosting high-quality local acts in a setting not unlike an overgrown suburban ’70s living room. Just across the street, a cluster of shops beckons. For hard-to-find issues of Purple Fashion and Dot Dot Dot, Stand Up Comedy (811 E Burnside St., Suite 119, 233-3382) is the place. Indulge a fetish for saccharine, pricey underthings at Lille Boutique (1007 E Burnside St., 232-0333), and scour the infamous architectural maze that is Hippo Hardware (1040 E Burnside St., 231-1444) for all the knobs, hinges and assorted hardware doohickeys you could ever need. Or drop by Bombshell Vintage (811 E Burnside St., 239-1073), Hattie’s (729 E Burnside St., Suite 101, 238-1938) or Rock n’ Rose (616 E Burnside St., 239-3901) for some of the best-preserved vintage threads in the city. —Elianna Bar-El.

As many a downstairs musical guest has observed, the Doug Fir’s pseudo-rustic décor recalls that most weird of Northwestern soap operas, Twin Peaks—see the log cabin motif, duck wallpaper, bar-overseeing glass buck head and antlers aplenty if you’ve any doubts. The mirror-lined upstairs bathrooms can make the path to drunken elimination challenging, but they certainly drive the slicker-than-slick fashionista vibe home. Grab a notorious Fir Burger (a 7-ounce beef, chicken, buffalo or veggie patty topped with fancy cheese and served with fries, $9) from the restaurant’s more high-end menu, or choose comfort food from the bar: Items like tomato soup with grated Parm and croutons ($6) and garlic mashers with gravy ($3) become $2.50 during happy hour (3-6 pm). Just there to drink? Marvel at the hot stones afire in the bamboo-adorned patio while sipping on a fresh-muddled blackberry cosmo ($7.50) or iced cowboy coffee (Stumptown brew with Kahlúa, Tuaca, Frangelico and whipped cream, $7). Of course, the classic $2 PBR is also available—for those still clinging to their trucker hats.
Perfect Patron: Good-looking, well-to-do socialites with a penchant for buzz bands, wildlife and anything involving liquor and Red Bull. (AGM)
HAPPY HOUR 3-6 PM DAILY: $2.50 ENTREES, $3 WELL DRINKS.
DJS, LIVE MUSIC, OUTDOOR SEATING/SMOKING LOUNGE.
