So y’all might’ve heard, but there’s one more reason to head to NE Alberta: Binks now has booze. And perhaps the best part of that (besides being able to drink Margaritas in the sun), is that they now take credit cards.

The Hutch (Glisan & NE 46th) has a new second location at SE 41st & Holgate (former home of Grandma’s).

The Matchbox Lounge is opening on 3203 SE Division. Anyone been yet?

Every Tuesday at 6 pm, Gotham Tavern is hosting Scrabble night. Fuck yeah. Plus it benefits Oregon Literacy, Inc. by donating 10% of your tab to the nonprofit. Mmm, words.

BEST NEWS OF ALL: Beulahland now has weekly Atari 2600 tournaments on Mondays! On a big screen, no less. Sign up at 9 pm. It’s hosted by VJ Norto and the Phantom Hillbilly who do the awesome Eye Candy music video nights at Beulahland and Acme. You can even challenge others to your game of choice. Me, I’d pick River Raid. I’m the best, no matter what anyone else might tell you.
