Nothing lasts forever — especially in the restaurant business — and while Portland welcomed its share of splashy openings this year, it also saw a slew of restaurant closures (with especially brutal months in August and September). As we conclude our Year in Eater 2013 coverage, here are the 13 most-eulogized and/or buzzworthy restaurant closings, in order of their demises:

· Pine State Biscuits' Belmont location (2008-March 2013)
· Patanegra (2005-May 2013)
· Beaker & Flask (2009-June 2013)
· The Berlin Inn (1992-June 2013)
· June (2010-July 2013)
· Riffle NW (2012-August 2013)
· Vindalho (2005-August 2013)
