Renner's Makes WW's Best-Of-Portland issue

According to Willamette Week's Best of Portland issue, on the streets today, our own Renner's Grill is "The Best Bar to Shoot One Back With the Fonz".

Back in the "I Like Ike" days, Renner's Grill (7819 SW Capitol Highway, 246-9097) was populated by a rotating cast of cranky boozehounds. Dogs roamed through the lounge looking for handouts while the regulars tossed ice at the bartender and passed out in the booths. While this dank oasis in the midst of Southwest Portland's Multnomah Village has calmed down since Happy Days, at least one iconic thing remains from that 1950s-flavored era: Jell-O. Or, more in keeping with Gen-Xers, Jell-O shots. While tastes change with the times (though lime and cherry are still the favorites), the price stays the same-only a buck. It makes perfect sense that they taste like gelatinous cough syrup. As the saying goes: They'll cure what ails ya.

Although the presence of the term "Jello Shots"(definition) and an accompanying picture of said shots, should clue you in to what really attracted the Week's staff.
