Bars/Restaurants

A group of 17 bars and restaurants in Portland have formed a coalition and agreed to require proof of vaccination for guests indoors.

“We're going to be a strong group after this weekend,” said Daniel Shoemaker, owner of the Teardrop Lounge in Northwest Portland. “My hope is we're sharing this burden because there will be a backlash.”
