From the bridge all the way to Mount Tabor, Hawthorne Boulevard ambles across southeast Portland with a laid-back charm. Once a hippie haven, Hawthorne still has a counter-culture vibe — even with the few shiny, multi-story apartment buildings that have sprouted up recently. Walk past those, and you’ll find a funky collection of brunch spots, bars, vintage stores, the prerequisite coffee shop or two, and much more.
A quirky brewpub, movie theatre, cigar bar, and pool hall, all rolled into one classic building.
