"Reopened quietly on East Burnside on May 6, the dive-bar legend B-Side Tavern has returned, largely sticking to the schtick it was known for before it closed in 2017. In September 2017 a fire started on the deck and traveled through the interior, forcing owner Tanya P. Frantzen to close; after about a year of relative radio silence the team announced plans to reopen and filed permits for a new patio. The patio isn’t back yet — a Facebook post says it should open “soon” — and one of B-Side’s biggest claims to fame remains being the setting of a Red Fang video starring Fred Armisen in which beer-drinking zombies descend on the bar." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
