White Owl Social Club

White Owl Social Club is a bar and restaurant in southeast Portland, Oregon's Buckman neighborhood, in the United States.

History

White Owl was established in January 2013. Ownership changed from Matthew Jacobson and Michael McKennedy (who also own Sizzle Pie) to AJ Fosik, Jason Radich, and Matthew Relkin in September 2015.

In 2016, White Owl was the most frequent Lyft bar destination in Portland. In 2018, the business permanently removed beef and lamb from its menu for environmental purposes.

In 2019, the bar apologized and fired two security guards for removing a transgender guest.

Reception

White Owl Social Club was a runner-up in the "Best Patio" category of Willamette Week's "Best of Portland Readers' Poll 2020".
