[January 24th, 2007] We raise our glass to local graphic designer Cindy Anderson , who spent the last six months weaving through Portland's bars and restaurants in order to pen the city's first paperback guide to happy hours. The Portland Happy Hour Guidebook features more than 100 barebones listings on local watering holes—from indie haunts like Crowbar to bachelorette-party horrors like Shenanigans—each scored on food deals, drink specials and atmosphere. The guide's bright yellow happy-face theme is waaay too perky for career boozers, but Anderson's commitment to quaffing is to be admired. "I sometimes visited three happy hours a night," Anderson, a petite blonde, admits with a chuckle. "And I'm working off the beer belly that proves it."

The $11.95 guide is available only at happyhourguidebook.com, but look for it in local bookstores in the next few months.

Super perky and bright, so it's perfect for administrative assistants ready for a post-work prowl or Mars/Venus kvetch-fest, but pros should look elsewhere.
