Portland food news and views
Restaurant, bar, cafe, and food truck openings is the subject some of the most read Portland food news on Bridgetown Bites.
Over the weekend the news came out—two new food carts have joined the Upright Brewing/Junior’s Coffee location. Niños Birrieria arrived last last week and Pine State Biscuits opened Saturday.

While I was over at Colours PDX, an art gallery participating in the Portland Winter Light Festival, I learned that Honey Latte Cafe is opening a new location in the shared space also hosting the gallery, The Roll Up. One of the things that will set them apart from many others is that they want to offer coffee later into the evening—something that is not as common in Portland (we have a thriving daytime cafe scene).

A while back I wrote about the arrival of the Midtown Beer Garden in the “midtown” section of downtown Portland. I also wrote about Tokyo Sando closing, with the uncertainty of a return to Portland. And Bing Mi has gone through some changes, opening a brick & mortar spot in NW Portland, with the future of the original cart in unknown territory, too. Well, the good news is that they are returning to downtown Portland!

Kouzina is out, Michael’s is in.
A Bridgetown Bites tipster email me earlier this week: “Walked by today and saw Kouzina moving out. A sign in the window states that Michael’s Italian Beef and Sausage Co. is moving in soon.” They offer Italian-style beef, sausage, and various cold sandwiches; and Chicago-style hot dogs.

Late last week a Bridgetown Bites tipster reached out to inform me that The Mule Bar—the new bar opening in the old Stanich’s space on NE Fremont Street in Cully—will open their doors officially on Friday, February 2 (date updated this morning). There will be a soft opening on Wednesday, January 31. Hot dog!
True, I’ve been a bit preoccupied with the Sandy Jug Tavern opening today as far as bar openings go, but this news about The Mule Bar is excellent. I’m really glad new life will flow through this location. Along with the news about the opening date, I’ve also learned that they’ve somewhat updated the space (the pennants remain).
