Portland’s Doug Fir Lounge to Move Into the Bistro Montage Space | Eater Portland

"Once a late-night, Cajun-Creole-adjacent spot tucked below the Morrison Bridge, Le Bistro Montage had been open for more than a decade by the time Doug Fir opened and I remember it as a popular post-show hangout where teens and twenty-somethings would sit at long communal tables to order tricked-out mac and cheese or jambalaya. It shut down at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and its team later announced it would not reopen in its original location; months later Montage reopened as a food cart while the original space sat vacant, and it’s unclear how the Doug Fir team plans to transform that restaurant space into a music venue." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
