Lutz Tavern is a bar in the Woodstock neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, in the United States. ==Description and history== Lutz Tavern, established in 1947, is located at 4639 Southeast Woodstock Boulevard in Portland's Woodstock neighborhood.〔 * * 〕 The Lutzes owned the bar until 1954, when it was purchased by the Barisich family.〔 Lilias Barisich, who shared ownership with her brothers following their parents, said about Lutz and her mother's operating style: "It's always been a homey place because my mom would kick people out if they acted different. She'd tell them they wouldn't act that way if they were invited to our home for dinner, so there was no call to act like that at the Lutz."〔 Though the claim is disputed, Lutz is known nationally for being the origin of Pabst Blue Ribbon's more recent popularity.〔 For many years, Lutz attracted a mixture of working-class men and Reed College students.〔 ''The Portland Mercury'' described the original bar as one that served "cheap swill to blue-collar folks and Reed kids that didn't mind walking those extra few blocks." Barisich recalled, "At one time, it was a favorite of concrete workers, city crews and the like. You couldn't keep the floor clean on a Friday afternoon. Every muddy workboot in the city was here."〔 It served beer only, accepted cash only, and offered the "bare minimum of food that the OLCC required".〔 The crowd became steadily younger over time. In the 1990s, when her parents still operated the bar, Barisich asked if she could sell a case of premium beer. She recalled, "I convinced them to let me buy a case of Heineken's, which at that time sold for unheard-of price of a buck a bottle. My dad said that people would never pay that much for a bottle of beer, and they'd only let me buy the case if I promised to drink what didn't sell."〔 Her introduction of premium beer proved to be successful. Lutz would soon be recognized by Blitz-Weinhard for serving more Blitz than any other establishment.〔 In 1999, Lutz reportedly served BridgePort IPA, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Widmer Hop Jack and Hefeweizen for $2.60 per pint, but still offered Blitz and Pabst for $1 per can.〔 ''The Oregonian'' John Foyston said of the bar then, "The floor stays cleaner, but the decor remains minimal: beer signs, a pool table, handwritten signs advertising the famous hot pickles (60 cents) and ham sandwiches ($2)."〔 ''Willamette Week'' called Lutz a "true dive, but one with outsize influence among bike messengers and other curators of cool".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lutz Tavern」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
