Air-Conditioned Portland Restaurants and Bars to Beat the Summer Heat | Eater Portland

"While every pandemic era departure was a blow, some of the hardest to replace were the beloved neighborhood watering holes. In Portland, new exciting cuisine is always around the corner but a familiar, nurturing space with years of happy memories inherently takes time. Longtime patrons of Northeast Portland’s sadly departed Beech Street Parlor were thrilled to see the team behind Dream House bar grasping for Beech Street’s patented funky casual glory. After a brief iteration as a Spanish fine-dining spot, Dream House has restored the affordable cocktails and frequent DJ set model that made its predecessor so inviting. Settle into one of the cool nooks and crannies upstairs in this 115-year-old house with decidedly modern AC." - Nathan Williams
