No Bones Beach Club x XO Bar Past Event Like List
Plant-based food lovers mourned when the tropical bar No Bones Beach Club closed the doors of its Portland and Seattle locations in 2020. Former Stranger staff writer Angela Garbes wrote of the establishment in 2016, "At No Bones, you won't find any soy-rizo, mock chicken, or portobello mushrooms doing their best impersonation of hamburger patties. Instead, you'll find tacos loaded with beer-battered and fried avocados, sandwiches stuffed with sesame-seed-crusted taro cakes, and poke (Seattle's current favorite dish) made not with raw fish but smoked golden beets. MacKenzie DeVito describes her menu as 'Southern California–style food—fresh, with lots of vegetables, herbs, and great textures.' After just a few bites, you'll be grateful that DeVito, who adopted a vegan diet seven years ago, has spent all her time since developing such flavorful, satisfying, and surprising food." Luckily, you'll have a rare chance to catch Devito's cuisine, including carrot lox mini bagels, "brunchos," fried artichoke Benedict, and tropical French toast, at one of her first pop-ups in Portland since the closure. XO Bar will offer refreshing alcoholic and zero-proof cocktails to pair with the food, while Daylily Coffee Shop will provide coffee and tea. A portion of brunch sales will benefit Meow Village.
XO Bar, 11 am and 2 pm

Sapphic Sundays Remind Like List
In celebration of Pride Month, the vibey, neon-illuminated bar Pink Rabbit will cater to "queer girls and theys" each Sunday in June. Enjoy drink specials, all-day happy hour, crafts, music, and gay movies. Personally, I hope that But I'm a Cheerleader, Chappell Roan, and lots of bedazzling are all part of the (queer) agenda.
Pink Rabbit, 3 pm
