GOING OUT Food News The biggest piece of news in September was the quiet shuttering of The Parish, the Cajun-Creole restaurant at the corner of Northwest Everett and 11th Avenue. However, with the coming of October, there are a pair of boozy events to attend and, if the permitting i’s and t’s get dotted and crossed, the neighborhood might soon be home to a wine bar run by Portland rock and roll legends. By Chad Walsh WHAT’S NEW Gastro Mania adds alcohol Alex Nanchev’s Gastro Mania, the wildly affordable Mediterranean restaurant that serves lamb gyros, salmon sliders, bacon-wrapped dolmas, foie gras burgers and swordfish salads, is now serving beer and wine.

GOING OUT WHAT’S HAPPENING Haunted Pub Tour Beer Quest’s Haunted Pub Tour is in full swing now through Oct. 31. The tour, which starts at Kells Pub, 112 SW Second Ave., costs $45 per person (or $40 if you skip the beer), and starts at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 3:30 p.m. on Sundays. The 2.5-mile walking tour includes the Merchant Hotel, plenty of ghost stories to get your hair standing on end and beer samples from a pair of breweries to assuage those fears. beerquestpdx.com The Great American Spirits Festival Looking for the next big thing in craft distilling? The Great American Spirits Festival comes to Portland’s Tiffany Center Saturday, Oct. 22, and will feature spirits— and their makers—from across the country. Samples, naturally, will be available to all attendees. The event lasts from 2 to 10 p.m., and tickets are $20. The Tiffany Center: 1410 SW Morrison St. Colorful cocktails Rae’s Lakeview Lounge WHAT’S COMING Old Portland to bring new life to old warehouse Nothing’s set in stone yet, but the word on the street is that Courtney Taylor-Taylor, the singer and co-founder of the rock band The Dandy Warhols, may be opening a wine shop in an old Slabtown warehouse. Taylor-Taylor told us that if the OLCC signs off on his permit to sell alcoholic beverages, The Old Portland will be selling wine to drink on- and off-premises. He also hopes to sell vintage clothes and antiquarian books. Old Portland: 1433 NW Quimby St. WHAT’S CLOSED The Parish closes For the last few years, The Parish has been Northwest Portland’s go-to for Creole and Cajun fare. But in early September, owners Ethan Powell and Tobias Hogan quietly went out of business. In the past, The Parish offered brunch and featured regular live Sunday morning musical performances by the Pete Krebs Trio, but the business suffered growing pains. Brunch was scrapped and then in mid-2015, the place split in two, with one side dedicated to The Parish, and the other side dedicated to The Palmetto Cafe, a daytime sister spot. There are no concrete plans on what the place will become, but another restaurant seems a good bet. WHO’S HAPPY? Rae’s Lakeview Lounge’s Thunder Bowls made the cover of Willamette Week last month, as well as the front page of its annual happy hour guide, which praised Rae’s $1 brunch mimosas and $1 pints of Rainier beer. The Willamette Week coverage capped a “sudden flurry of attention” from magazines and online sites for the restaurant at Northwest 27th and Upshur. “We couldn’t be more psyched,” said Rae’s owner Todd Morey.
