Tracking a Year of Restaurant Openings and Closings on SE Division

SE Division Street was Portland's most shape-shifting dining neighborhood in 2016, and last year solidified the street's reputation as a competitive restaurant battleground to see who can hack it. Honky Tonk Taco, developed by an outfit including many top Portland restaurateurs, shuttered after just three months, and Andy Ricker, the chef who put SE Division Street on the map with Pok Pok, even closed his Asian noodle house Sen Yai. A study in the dramatic rise and fall of SE Division restaurants, this story stream includes all of the openings and closings between January 2016 and February 2017.

Note the below story stream omits a few restaurant and bars that opened or closed on SE Division. Those are:

—The popular food cart by Boke Bowl, Boke Dokie moved to the Tidbits food cart pod on SE Division in November 2016.

—Loon bar closed after a little over half a year in October 2016.

—Rip City Grill turned on grills and sports television at 6030 SE Division in October 2016.

—Gestalt Bar opened at 3584 SE Division (formerly Eugenio's) in June to serve well-priced beers and sausages.
