The Goose Hollow Inn is a tavern in Portland, Oregon. Former mayor Bud Clark opened it in 1967.[1][2]

Description

The Goose Hollow Inn is most known for its Reuben sandwich.[3][4] The tavern's credo, which is printed on the menus, states: "We are dedicated to Quality Draft, Fine Food, Pleasant Music, and Stimulating Company. We are also dedicated to extremes of opinion, hoping that a livable marriage will result. If physical violence is your nature, either develop your verbal ability or leave."[5]

The walls of the interior are covered in posters and old beer advertisements accumulated over the course of the tavern's history.[6] They include a copy of Clark's iconic Expose Yourself to Art poster. The former mayor described the business as his legacy during an interview with Oregon Public Broadcasting. “It’s put together well, it still runs, my daughter runs it well,' he said. "And I’ve met so many friends here.”[7]

History

Former state congressman Stephen Kafoury's experience at the Goose Hollow Inn in the 1970s helped end Oregon's rules disallowing dancing in taverns.[8] Clark told Kafoury he wasn't allowed to sing or dance on the property. The legislator later successfully managed to change the law. In 2011, the restaurant hosted a release party for a book about the Goose Hollow neighborhood.[9]

Reception

In 2020, Goose Hollow Inn ranked number 82 on MEDIAmerica's list of the "100 Best Fan-Favorite Destinations in Oregon".[10]
