A new restaurant called Sabor del Rio Cafe will open in the Sunderland neighborhood out in one of the floating buildings on the Columbia River just west of NE 33rd. I often go up there in the summer to hang out at The Deck, so having yet another option there (Salty’s on the Columbia and The Sextant are also nearby) is also pretty exciting. I am sure the folks who live in the area are also happy to see this new development.

Back in June 2024, a Bridgetown Bites tipster sent me a note that they spotted a liquor license application posted at a building on SE 28th Avenue and Division for Schilling Cider House PDX. I looked into it, and over time and multiple emails I learned that Schilling is indeed moving to a new spot there on Division, with the aim to open this April.

I had a chance to speak with Colin Schilling about the new cider house, and here is what I learned.

A new sports bar called Sticky Wicket will open in the old Park Tap House space in St. Johns. Its aim is to be the primary sports bar in Portland for cricket fans, but other international sports will also be shown, along with good food and drink. I reached out to the owner, Michael Rasko, to learn more.

A new Mexican restaurant called Paqui Modern Mexican will open in the old Arrowood location. It’s still a mystery as to why they closed, but the bottom line is that this storefront is going to have a new tenant in its good-sized property, which extends all the way to the corner of NE Sandy and 59th.
