Phoenix restaurant celebrates light rail success with freebie
Posted on 06. Jun, 2009 by Tony Arranaga in Lo-cal, News
A popular Phoenix restaurant along the light rail is having a celebration in honor of the Valley’s new mass transit system.
Portland’s Restaurant and Wine Bar is giving away free “juiciest buns in town” t-shirts to guests who order one of their signature burgers on the night of June 16th. The restaurant is also unveiling a new item called the Metro Burger, featuring their fresh cut, never frozen, certified Angus beef along with creamy fontina cheese, zesty BBQ sauce, and sauteed onions.
Why am I’m suddenly very hungry??
“We’ve always been strong supporters of downtown and the light rail, even during construction,” says Portland’s co-owner Dylan Bethge. “Now that the light rail is fully operational, it has played a positive role in our community and our lives, and we’d like to celebrate that fact with a great, new burger.”
The restaurant also has a new drink called the Jefferson, which is best described as a “coffee bar meets happy hour” beverage. Ask for it by name!
The t-shirt/tank top offer is good while supplies last.
Portland’s is located next to the Arts District station (Roosevelt and Central) – 105 W. Portland Street in downtown Phoenix. The event runs from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Read more information on the restaurant’s website here.
