I mainly care about atmosphere which for me includes decor, music, staff, and no intrusions such as TV (especially sprots) (yeah, I meant sprots) or windows on the real world or gawdam-monkey-friggin karaoke.

I no longer seek or expect quality cocktails when out and about so I'm fine with well drinks and beer. I'd rather have quality Americana or Chinese American food than quasi-Polynesian fare.

I love the Alibi in Porltand as it has my preferred perpetual twilight bar atmosphere and has a great Reuben. The music can suck and the tropical drinks during all my visits were half-assed at best, but when I go I'm usually there for at least 2 hours. Unless I went late and the gawdam-monkey-friggin karaoke starts up.
