Parkside

Where to Drink and Dine in Portland’s Kenton Neighborhood

"Denver Avenue may be Kenton’s “main street,” but the idyllic Kenton Park is the true heart of the neighborhood. As the name suggests, Parkside features patio dining overlooking the leafy adjoining park, and in cold-weather months, the bar offers the casual coziness of a friend’s living room. Local microbrews are the go-to here for most regulars, but the full bar also offers reasonably priced rotating house cocktails — and mocktails. The hunger-crushing corned beef sandwich, with a whopping half-pound of the house cured meat, is a standout." - Nathan Williams
