Chef Gregory Gillman is planning to re-open the former Cafe at Pats space on Stevens Ave as the The Treehouse with a menu much along the same lines as he served at the Cafe.
Josh Soley is redeveloping the old Movies at Exchange space as Trouble, an “old fashioned theater-bar with classical movie showings in the afternoon and a similar atmosphere that will continue after the movie is over.” Soley plans to “target an older, professional audience” and will be serving “old-fashioned beverages including movie-themed Casablanca Cocktails, Godfather Whiskeys, and James Bond Martinis.”
Steven and Johanna Corman, owners of Vena’s Fizz House, have applied for a liquor license. They will continue serving solely temperance cocktails during the day, but from 7-11 pm plan to start serving alcoholic cocktails as well. You can read more about Vena’s and their plans to get a liquor license in today’s Press Herald article by Randy Billings.
So excited that Greg is reopening the Cafe. My favorite under the radar space in Portland, and by far the best outdoor seating in the city!
