Grand Army Tavern

(Nino Ortiz)

Woodlawn's Grand Army Tavern is an elegant wood-slatted hall of refreshing, citrusy cocktails and nose-to-tail, whole-pig butchery. It serves silky palomas ($9) and pork sliders ($15 for the platter) that will fill you up. The rotating selection of little sandwiches are decadent, and you might see anything from an excellent kielbasa to a trashy fried bologna, all served with fatty butter, house pickles and lettuce.

GO: 901 NE Oneonta St., 503-841-6195, grandarmytavern.com, 4-10 pm Monday-Wednesday, 3-11 pm Thursday-Friday, 9 am-2 pm and 3-11 pm Saturday, 9 am-2 pm and 3-10 pm Sunday
