Thatch

Wonderful spot. Had a few birthday celebrations here, and was pretty bummed when they closed. Luckily, the new-and-improved version appeared in its spot not long after, and I've enjoyed Hale Pele ever since.
Tiki Bar
Thatch
Portland, Oregon, United States (Closed)
Thatch opened in northeast Portland in January 2007.
It featured a sunken bar, booths rescued from a nearby original Armet & Davis Denny's, lots of bamboo, and of course, thatch. Some of the tiki decor came from the nearby Jasmine Tree, which in turn got its decor from the Portland Kon-Tiki when it closed.
Thatch closed in late spring 2012, and reopened in late August 2012 under new ownership as Hale Pele.
