Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I were on our way out to meet some folks for dinner at Wong’s King <\/a>– so, as we do on occasion, we stopped to get a bit of pre-dinner and cocktails nearby.<\/p>\n

The afternoon’s “victim” was Buckely’s Catch, a sports bar and grill in Mt. Tabor\/SE. \u00a0We were just looking for a ‘cool’ place to escape Portland’s ‘heatwave’, douse the fire in my belly for something to eat after sitting through a local college graduation – and to get Mrs. BDB a bump or two.<\/p>\n

If there is one thing Portland doesn’t have a shortage of, it’s neighborhood bars\/saloons\/dives, and Buckley’s fits the bill for any number of reasons. \u00a0Regular patrons, cheap drinks, and a bar food menu that is a combination of both the usual fare and in house pot cooking. \u00a0(Add to that the mound of TVs, games, a patio, and a cigarette machine!)<\/p>\n

I could tell from the first glance that the chili mound on top of the taters was brewed up in house, and in fact, Ms. Julie confirmed this without me asking.<\/p>\n

It’s a respectable contestant for Portland’s best chili cheese fries. \u00a0We barely made a dent before having to shuffle off to our chinese cuisine encounter.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a cold quaff and some decent cheap bar food, check out Buckley’s Catch, I say.<\/p>\n
