MacTarnahan’s: Beer and Outdoor Movies in Portland

Outdoor movies are normally considered family affairs. An inflatable movie screen is set up in a park somewhere and free movies are screened for all ages. Sometimes beer is allowed on site but it’s certainly not the centerpiece of the outdoor movie event. However, beer (along with some specialty food) is precisely the centerpiece at Portland’s outdoor movies screened throughout the summer over at MacTarnahan’s Tap Room. The outdoor movies are free although there’s a suggested $5 donation (which goes to various charities such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters) and the unspoken expectation that you’re going to do some drinking while you’re on site. Getting a little buzz going sure enhances the humor of the outdoor movies screened there (which included Happy Gilmore and The Big Lebowski in 2007). The outdoor movies are done for the summer but MacTarnahan's brings lots of other events to Portland throughout the year and the movies will likely be back in 2008.
