Same block as Buddy’s Post Tavern. Was located just a short distance from Lownsdale Square and the Multnomah County Courthouse as well as the Greyhound Bus Depot.  One or the other may be the tavern which is referred to in an out-of-town gossip sheet’s report on vice conditions in Portland in early 1951.  If this is the case, then obviously these taverns have a history much earlier than suspected.

Per  a  paper called Chronology of Portland’s Gay Bars – author unknown, “The Brown Jug 1960, 1964, 1967 [vacant block] – near bus depot.]

Per the GLAPN - A Walking Tour of Downtown Portland: A Century of Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Historic Sites June 1999: This bar and it’s neighbor, Buddies Post Tavern, 926 SW Fourth st. (Gay from at least 1962 to 66) were located just a short distance from Lownsdale Square and the Multnomah County Courthouse. One or the other may be the tavern which is referred to in The Keyhole’s report on vice conditions in Portland from April 1951. If this is the case, than obviously these two taverns have a history much earlier than suspected. Buddies Post Tavern is listed in Damon’s Guidebook of 1966.
