Over History by the Glass

Welcome everyone to the History by the Glass podcast. Your tour of Portland, Oregon's (and beyond) famously historic and infamously endangered bars, pubs and saloons. Inspired by Paul Pintarich's "History by the Glass" book series.

49 — Wilshire Tavern

"If you smeeeeeeeeeeeeell what the HBTG boys are cookin'?!" Ohhh yeeeeah that's right brothers and sisters, Alfredo, Nathan, and Producer Bill are BACK with another cage match of an episode of History by the Glass beyond inspired by the former Portland professional wrestling legend who once owned the Wilshire Tavern (4052 NE 42nd Ave.) in the immigrant blue collar turned moneyed NE Portland Beaumont-Wilshire neighborhood. The anachronistic cash only, beer and wine only, crock pot food and snacks only Wilshire Tavern is a portal to the 1930s still inexplicably living and breathing in this beautiful, Portlandia chic part of town and we could not be more thrilled. And did we mention it was owned in the '60s and '70s by wrestling legend Kurt Von Poppenheim (nee Jake Pappenheim), he of over 1,100 professional bouts from the Portland Armory to Madison Square Garden? And did we live our American Dream by over-indulging in all things wrestling in this episode? You bet your sweet ass we did. So climb up to the top turnbuckle with us, spread your arms wide, and Superfly Splash into another tall frosty mug of HBTG!

48 — Dublin Pub

Portland, Oregon is a long way from New York City boys, from Boston and PA...but still we love our Irish bars...and we revere our proud, independent, authentic AF bar proprietors. Katie Bullard and Carl Simpson started the legendary Dublin Pub in 1983, first in SE Portland where it attained peak notoriety and helped make Portland craft brewing history, before moving to its current location in 1989 on the site of another infamous bar -- The Faucet -- in the Raleigh Hills/Deep SW Portland/unincorporated Washington County area of the metro (6821 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy). In an industry notably devoid of strong, almost tall-tale women owners and proprietors, Katie (aka "Mama Dub") was an aberration as the heart and soul of the DubPub for the better part of 40 years until her death in October of 2024. Nate and Alfredo visited 10 days before St. Patrick's day to chop it up with current owner (and original Katie Bullard hire) JT Mackey to learn how this beloved bar bridges its generational clientele gap and otherwise soak in the middle aged craic of the place.

aflevering 47 — Walter Mitty's artwork

47 — Walter Mitty's

“'To hell with the handkerchief,' said Walter Mitty scornfully. He took one last drag on his cigarette and snapped it away. Then, with that faint, fleeting smile playing about his lips, he faced the firing squad; erect and motionless, proud and disdainful, Walter Mitty the Undefeated, inscrutable to the last." The Secret Life of Walter Mitty [https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1939/03/18/the-secret-life-of-walter-mitty-james-thurber] By James Thurber 1939 Born and raised in the tucked-away Mountain Park Plaza where Lake Oswego meets deep SW Portland (11830 Kerr Pkwy, 97035 [https://maps.app.goo.gl/ncqFFAi1FNXkFpCc6]), Walter Mitty's Restaurant & Bar has provided a languid home for drinking day dreamers since 1982. And much like the ineffectual protagonist of the classic short story (that very loosely inspired the original bar founders) -- a man who would rather be the hero of his own fantasy world than deal with an increasingly unsatisfying reality -- your three podcast heroes, Alfredo, Nathan, and Producer Bill, mounted their bar stools for another world-saving episode of History by the Glass. Nominated three straight years for our Audience Choice Episode tourney by determined fan of the bar and pod (Robyn V), Walter Mitty's is what it is without trying too hard to be anything it's not. It's uncool. It's unironic. Despite the name, it's not an homage to much of anything. Which of course, makes it absolutely perfect in all its '80s oak and glass and green carpeted glory.

aflevering 46 — Golden Nugget Bar artwork

46 — Golden Nugget Bar

Thirteen bars entered. One bar left. In the end, Milwaukie's Golden Nugget (11056 SE Main St.) -- nominated by The Oregonian's unofficial old bar beat writer Samantha Swindler -- held off 12 other nominees from across the metro area in the traditionally idiotic HBTG coin flip tournament bracket to claim the third annual Listeners' Choice Episode honors. For Nathan, it was a chance for the prodigal son to return home to experience his hometown through the cocktail glasses of a rather incredible, completely hidden gem, Goodfellas, '70s chic, diner lounge, type place that was a vibe unto its own. For Alfredo, it was a chance to eat liver & onions... Also, a vibe unto its own. Hearty thanks and gratitude to all our listeners, Instagram followers, friends, and family near and far who have made this project so doggedly enjoyable year after year. You've made us rich in every way, except...you know...with money. Producer Bill would like to dedicate this episode to the rollicking life of Bob Daley -- sportsman, bar man, family man, and friend.
