A new “wine shoppe + veg-forward eatery” is opening soon in Sellwood-Moreland called The Fates Bread & Bottle Co. They will take over the space that was formerly occupied by Maeve, which closed on September 28. I reached out to owner Chanelle Sinclair to learn more, but was unable to connect. Here is what I know now.

The folks behind Bastion, a restaurant in Westmoreland that shows you that food can be both healthy and delicious, are opening up Fallow’s Restaurant, just up the street in the old Relish Gastropub space. They will offer dinner service (Bastion closes at 4pm the days they are open). As a fan of Bastion, I’m pretty excited about this.

Sebastiano’s—that wonderful Sicilian/Italian-American shop, bakery, and deli that started out in Montavilla in 2020—has fully moved to Sellwood. Their grand opening is Thursday, March 7, but they had a soft opening today.

They hype the fried chicken, and kid-friendly space with arcade games. A recent liquor license application from Holler indicates another detail: a 35-seat ice cream shop operating under the name Lucky You Cold Treats.
Their Instagram indicates a Spring 2020 opening, so we’ll find out more sooner than later. Holler, 7119 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland
I thought I’d catch us up on the current status of stories I’ve been following here on the blog.
The Lift Off Lounge is open. Newcomer praised as a highly anticipated “non dive-bar” for the neighborhood (Rose City Park/Hollywood), The Lift Off Lounge had their soft opening last week; response from the neighborhood seems pretty positive. On Tuesday they posted on their Instagram account, “Thanks to everyone who came out to support for our soft opening weekend!!!……. we will be opening for regular hours sometime this week.” From what I can gather, 5pm seems to be their opening time of choice until they establish their regular hours. 5216 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland
