Blue Star Donuts Opening in PDX Airport | Hop & Vine Will Be Reborn

PDX—With recently upgraded coffee options and House Spirits Distillery's groundbreaking airport tasting room poised to open, Portland International Airport already delivers the goods, but now you'll find Blue Star Donuts there, too. The fancy doughnut shop, which features brioche-style creations like the iconic blueberry bourbon basil doughnut, will open in the Oregon Market area of the airport by November. [PoMo]

N KILLINGSWORTH—The beloved Hop & Vine bottle shop and beer bar may be closed, but fear not, beer-loving North Portlanders, it will be reborn. The venue will have a new name, Backyard Social, in honor of its popular back patio. The bottle shop area will not reopen, but you can expect an expert tap list, cocktails, and small plates. The three former Hop & Vine employees behind the project tell PoMo Backyard Social will open this month at 1914 N Killingsworth St. [PoMo]
