Biddy McGraws- Portland, OR

This is an Irish bar on 60th Street in Portland's Northeast section of the city. They take their music seriously and while Irish music does not show up much these days, its still serves well as a place to catch some music and have a drink.


Music
The music at Biddy's varies, but the most frequent genres making a showing are bluegrass and roots. Irish sessions used to be a feature here on Sundays (2), but as of this point they seem to have been discontinued and their schedule gives no hit of Irish music in the future.


There is rarely a cover for music at this bar and Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights are your usual night for music. Sunday afternoons are feature a bluegrass slow jam. (1)


The Venue
Biddy’s sticks to the traditional American Irish pub style- wood all around, Guinness posters, maps of Ireland, and Irish sayings all around. There is a spot for the band up near the entrance by the front window with all the tables and seats stretching out toward the back of the pub.
