Drink 2011: Liberty Glass

By MICHAEL MANNHEIMER

Years from now, when historians look back on the golden days of Portland culinary invention, it's inevitable someone will mention the kitschy little pink house filled with antlers that serves nachos made with Triscuit crackers. It's not like Liberty Glass is a one-trick pony; all the cocktails, which are mostly whiskey based, are delicious, and the cheese plate is one of the best in town (among bars, anyway). But it's the nachos—salty, crispy and served with a fresh red-pepper salsa—that make Liberty Glass an ideal last call. MICHAEL MANNHEIMER.
