“Once the kind of place where your estranged alcoholic father would buy you breakfast, the Trap now feels like that weird bar in the suburbs your friends from high school settle on for an annual evening of bad decisions the night before Thanksgiving. The Trap has grown up a bit, and so have you.”

-Pete Cottell, Willamette Week, November 2017

A classic Portland bus stop bar. A Foster-Powell area dive (emphasis on the lowercase d) and karaoke performance hall. Home of the BEST hash browns hashbrowns and bloody marys in town? Possibly. Home of one of the most open and honest, death-defying bartenders in the city? Absolutely.

An inspiration to drop an inexhaustible amount of Admiral Ackbar Return of the Jedi -- "IT'S A TRAP!" -- puns over the course of an hour-long episode? You bet your sweet mon calamari asses!
