"Sweet Hereafter, part of the Lightning Bar Collective along with Bye and Bye, Victoria Bar, and Thunderbird Bar, opened in 2011. It offered an entirely vegan menu featuring dishes like buffalo-marinated soy curl subs and antipasto platters. The bar was known for its welcoming environment, sprawling patio, and serving as a venue for community events like vegan meet-ups and holiday markets. It appealed to both vegans and a broader spectrum of diners, becoming a staple in Portland's food world." - Waz Wu
