This morning, I read a tip from a reader about something happening in the old Columbia River Brewing space in the Hollywood District (also briefly home to Spud Monkeys but I don’t think they even got off the ground before the pandemic hit).

The property listing indicates: “Though the Glisan Building will be delivered vacant upon sale, it is currently home to renowned Kells Irish Restaurant and Pub, presenting an excellent opportunity for a restaurant/bar, event space, or creative office space.” 112 SW 2nd Avenue, Portland
