#27 Drink a Mai Tai.

For those of you who also follow my blog, LifeOhm, you know that I recently started a challenge for myself with 39 things that I want to do before I turn 40. Some of the items are much easier than the others, like the first one I’ve checked off the list – Drink a Mai Tai. So today I thought I’d check out a place called Thatch, a tacky Tiki Bar located in northeast Portland.

Thatch plays cheesy Polynesian to the hilt from the decor to the tropical music with infused bird sounds, and my favorite, puffer fish lights over the bar. They mostly serve drinks but do have a few appetizer-type foods such as the Pu Pu Platter.

The whole experience would be great for a first date or for people just visiting the city. It is definitely unique and unlike most Portland dive bars. We had a nice time and the food wasn’t bad either, and now I can say that I’ve officially had a Mai Tai Cocktail. Item #27 Completed! Only 38 more to go.
