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.

A tipster alerted me to a sign posted about a new tenant coming to the 1200 NE Broadway building (aka Lloyd’s Station), with the name “Burgers & Fries.” Another sign posted indicated the space is leased to “NW Burgers & Fries,” which is Five Guys. Looking at the list of locations on their website, this seems to be the first location in Portland proper (there are locations established in the surrounding suburbs).

I was wandering around the internet this morning and landed on Chaat Wallah’s website. Chaat Wallah is a project from Deepak Saxena and the DesiPDX folks that serves “fun fusion reinterpretations of Indian street food.” In small type toward the bottom of the website is written “coming to Cully in 2022.” Of course my curiosity was piqued.

The area where NE 30th Ave intersects with NE Killingsworth has been home to many delicious places over the years. And a new Italian-American restaurant and bar, Gabbiano’s, will be joining the area, likely in January 2022. It will become the southern neighbor to Ripe Cooperative and will offer good food in a fun atmosphere. “Gabbiano” means “seagull” in Italian.

D’s Bar and Brickhouse Pizza in Roseway Has Closed

Roseway neighbors lament the shuttering of local favorites D’s Bar and Brickhouse Pizza (run by the same people) on Sandy Blvd at 68th Ave. On December 18 we became aware of an eviction notice and then on December 31, the businesses’ owner posted this on Facebook:

“Today is the last day for D’s and Brick House Pizzeria. Due to the past 9 months in a pandemic, it doesn’t make sense to continue with our business. Thank you for all your support since 2007. We are truly thankful for our wonderful staff, friendships that developed, loving relationships that started with a first date at our place memorable moments with KC Chiefs and Iowa Hawkeye football games, and devoted customers who are like family.”

I had heard great things about the pizza, and I know gatherings for Roseway Nextdoor members would meet there from time to time. Sadly, another one bites the dust in this crazy pandemic economy. Best of luck to the Martins and I hope we see them at some point again serving food and drink.
