Drink 2011: Shanghai Tunnel

By WHITNEY HAWKE

211 SW Ankeny St., 220-4001, shanghaitunnel.com. 5 pm-2:30 am daily.
Shanghai Tunnel is not a bar, it's an institution. Everyone has to spend at least one night slamming beer and shoveling a Shanghai noodle bowl down their throats before they can really call themselves a Portlander. In the dark depths of this iconic subterranean bar, cocktails are made with fresh-squeezed juices, which gives drinks like the Peach Blossom and Samurai Kiss a refreshing bite. Summer months at the Shanghai are something to look forward to, with cold drinks and grade-A premium people-watching on the patio. WHITNEY HAWKE.
What to drink: Peach Blossom.
Happy hour: $1 off beer, $2 off well drinks, cheap food 5-7 pm daily.
Entertainment: Pool, pinball, Big Buck Hunter.
