In its August issue, Portland Monthly drops its package about the city's Best New Bars for 2012. The list names its picks for crowds as varied as "Lovers," "Portland Scenesters," and "The Art School Crowd" (the accompanying bars, for the interested, are the Box Social, Dig a Pony, and Kask). Also, the Rum Club earns the distinction of being the year's bar where "Ernest Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson might share a drink." [PoMo]
