Gainsbourg Turns Two, Parties All Weekend

The original Gainsbourg, in celebration mode.
Gainsbourg is a neighborhood bar in Greenwood that doesn’t remind you of Paris so much as it does an older, cooler girl at your high school who was really into Paris. And from Friday, November 12 through Sunday, November 14, Gainsbourg is celebrating its second birthday. You’re totally invited.
Food and drink specials include $4 escargot and sparkling wine (a cava), $4 Kronenbourg beers, and $2 off all absinthe cocktails. Gainsbourg will also be offering its seasonal cassoulet and signature house dish, oysters Gainsbourg.
On Saturday local Francophile band Les Pamplemousses performs at 9pm. On Sunday night it’s Eric John Kaiser from Portland. He’s supporting his new CD Portland Rendez-Vous.
Here’s Kaiser re-imagining Outkast’s “Hey Ya.”
