A new bar named Sad Valley—a name apropos in our COVID era—is coming to North Portland’s Humboldt neighborhood. They submitted their liquor license application relatively recently, so the hope is that they will open before the end of summer.

The My-O-My Arrives on NE Sandy Blvd This Summer

Yesterday I published a speculative post about the old Rocky Butte Pub space on NE Sandy near 86th Ave. Fortunately, a reader tipped me off to what is actually going in there: the new place will be called the My-O-My ,”Your Favorite Bar East of 82nd.” The folks from the White Owl Social Club are behind it.

Sugar Hill Bar to Open This Summer in SE Portland

Sugar Hill, a new ’70s-inspired bar, will open this summer in SE Portland. The people behind Sugar Hill are the same ones behind Jackie’s (formerly Century) on SE Sandy Blvd and Two Wrongs on NW 13th Ave in the Pearl. Neither of these places have a reputation for “taking themselves too seriously,” and I expect Sugar Hill will carry on that tradition.

The Sports Bra Sports Bar Opens Friday

The Sports Bra, a new sports bar in the old Carne space on NE Broadway, is opening this Friday—and they will play only women’s sports on their TVs. In fact, The Sports Bra is the first and only sports bar in the world that will focus completely on televising women’s sports. No doubt it will become known as “the Bra” over time, and it’s a pretty exciting idea to showcase women’s sports in the sports bar format, which appeals to me both as a woman, recreational athlete, and sports fan.
