According to BarFly Magazine, there's a lounge downtown Portland with an open well in the middle of the place. Maybe it was a temporarily left open during a remodel. It's called Dan and Louis' Shucking Room. Can any locals out there confirm or deny this? Here's the rundown from BarFly:

Pocket-size lounge in circa 1907 oyster house is chock full of unique Portland memorabilia. For thrills and chills, take a gander down into an ancient well, recently uncovered during renovations, now used primarily for the holding of bad tippers and other malcontents, "Silence of the Lambs" style! Beware and bring your own moisturizer.

And what's a shucking room?

Or maybe they just serve oyster shooters.
