Canvas Art Bar and Bistro
This may be the funnest place in Portland you’ve never heard of! Nestled in an industrial neighborhood in NW, almost under I-405, the Canvas Art Bar and Bistro makes for a very special date night with your significant other or your children!
As they indicate on their website, you can go there to eat, meet, and make? What do you eat? Delicious small plates, sandwiches, and soups. (And yes, there is a happy hour menu!). What do you make? Anything ‘artistic’ you are feel a passion for! Paint, draw, mixed media.
The Canvas “make” menu provides you with an ala carte selection of materials to use for your creation, and you, or you and your date/friend can pass a very pleasant evening having a little nosh, creating something together, having a local microbrew, and taking in whatever other fun event (like live Mic music on Fridays!) the owners have cooked up.
Absolutely over-the-top service and assistance from the two owners, we enjoyed a variety of appetizers, nuts, olives, shrimp skewers, quesadillas. They feature some daily specials, while we didn’t select it, last night’s Southwestern Pork Soup sounded fantastic.
Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I were accompanied by our date friends from Vancouver, we used to get together them on occasion to sample local Sunday breakfasts, but we have taken this path now of having ‘create dates’, and The Canvas was a stop worth crowing about.
Our friends chose to create some projects with paint, and Mrs. BDB and I went with making a collage that is representative of a lot of our interests. Yes, of course I went with the burgers, dogs, pizza theme!
You’ll find the Canvas Art Bar at 1800 NW Upshur St., and they open Mon-Fri at 11A, and Saturdays at 4. Closed Sundays.
Get there!
