Thirsty Lion

Soft Pretzel with Beer Cheese - Such an excellent appetizer. There really isn't much else to say!  $9
Spicy Mac & Cheese (wife) - Another great dish! Perfect blend of cheese with a decent kick of spice. Peppers and sausage really make the whole dish complete. She loved it so much that she only ate half of it so she could have left overs the next day!  $13
Enchilada Stack (me) - This dish was excellent beyond description. Perfect balance of flavors, moist chicken, crunchy tortilla and just a little bit of spice. A small side of crunchy chips and a subtly spicy salsa. Top it off with black beans with bacon and a roasted jalapeño, this is the closest I've had to perfection in a dinner.  $15
The ambience of the restaurant tonight was absolutely awesome. Never have a sat through a dinner and actually thought about it, until tonight. The music playing was an excellent blend of new and old, lifting music, music that makes you remember what was and what could be. This was the perfect dinner, this was the perfect night, this was the perfect restaurant.

My first visit here was great but the most recent was meh.  Now when I visit I only come for the extensive beer selection.

I went to Thirsty Lion recently for lunch and had their NW Pub Burger.  This burger is delicious, with the best bacon in Portland.  Soooo good.  I wish there was one closer to me, so I could eat there more often, but I always make a point of eating there when I am at the Washington Square Mall.  Service is always very good, along with the food.
