"For Portlanders confined to un-air conditioned, hot, sticky apartments, sometimes nothing short of a rejuvenating blast of arctic air will do. In moments like these, head to Side Street just off of Southeast Belmont. An HVAC engineer’s error is Southeast Portland’s gain, as this modest bar is blessed with the cooling horsepower of a much larger venue, making the hot Sicilian pizzas appetizing on even the most scorching heat dome days. Other highlights include an ample tap list, reasonably priced cocktails, a pool table, and some vintage pinball machines." - Nathan Williams
