BAR SPECIALS:
Monday & Tuesday:
This tiny take-out joint just a tew blocks west of
Portland Community College’s Cascade Campus is
home to some of the area’s best gourmet deep
dishes. From standard Hawaiian and pepperoni pies
to more luxurious homemade pesto and Sicilian olive
oil pizzas, Eddie’s is fast, cheap and close. For those
with more sensible tastes, there’s a variety of veggie-
packed pies, and for those with heftier needs, there’s
a killer Big Jerry pie loaded with Canadian bacon,
pepperoni, breakfast bacon, meatballs and Italian
sausage. Even the oven-baked sandwiches are a steal
at $5.95 for any of the plentiful varieties. From cal
zones to Caesar salads, Eddie’s has it all and at
extremely college-friendly prices. Call ahead and
pick up your feast in less than 30 minutes. Open
every day of the week till 10 p.m.
The Twilight Room •
5242 N. Lombard St.
The University of Portland landmark dive bar
is like a second home to many—and not in the had
way, either. Family-owned since its inception, the
well-worn bar is both wild and homey. The highly
“decorated” walls and ceiling along with the old
wtxxJen booths are proof of years of love. The
hamburger is outrageously delicious in all its greasy
glory, as are the heaping nachos and chili cheese
fries. The selection of microbrews suit any fancy,
and then there are the nice, long pulls on the well
drinks, too. Happy hour, karaoke, p<x>l, darts and
pinball make this a one-stop party for many folks of
all ages, not just hormonal Vikings. On the outskirts
of a btximing St. John’s neighhorhtxxl, the gleam
ing beacon of the T-Rixim’s neon is a sign of the
area's past, present and hopefully future.
Wed nesday:
A gigantic building has never felt so comfortable
and warm before. From the moment 1 set ftxit inside
this two-story saloon, it was like 1 had come home.
Small rooms with booths and couches lead into oth
er rooms with ptx>l tables and Pac-Man, then anoth
er with video poker. It’s much like a Chuck E. Cheese
for adults. The service is extremely hospitable, and
the prices and food are right in line. The huge, gooey
quesadilla topped with roasted salsa and mounds of
cilantro is surprisingly tasty. Grilled-to-order burgers
and chicken sandwiches, gigantic salads and a pletho
ra of bevies do a happy girl make. The air is a bit
thicker with smoke upstairs, where karaoke and pool
tables rule. There is even a separate family dining area
to keep folks with their kids apart from the mischie
vous “grown-up" children. A haven for Lewis & Clark
students, the Gap has something for everyone. ©

t’s back-to-school season, a time when
students are hard at work developing not only
their brains but their bellies as well. Although
every college grad knows about Top Ramen
and mac ’n* cheese, there are those few places
nearby that have helped sustain the hearts and
minds of local college cravings. Here are a few
places to hole up for some good old-fashioned com
fort fixxl at your home away from home.
