Cat’s Paw

(Emily Joan Greene)

3565 SE Division St., 503-719-5189, catspawsaloon.com.

A timber-heavy but tiny neighborhood bar, Cat's Paw sits comfortably somewhere between a dive and a more upscale joint. The only food offered are quesadilla variations—but are they ever special, calling out to the inner 12-year-olds in all of us. The patio is paradoxically dog-friendly, and there's a nice happy hour.
