Roseway is an up-and-coming area in outer East Portland, and it’s blossoming fast! With exciting newcomers like the 72nd Food Cart Pods at Junior’s Coffee, the Reeva Pizza Food Truck, and the iconic Sandy Jug, this neighborhood is quickly becoming a hotspot for millennial fun. Here are some of the best local spots you need to explore:
🌟 Cameo Café – East Portland’s Korean-American Diner Star!
Looking for charm and flavor? Cameo Café is your spot! This kitschy diner brings together American comfort food with Korean-inspired dishes, served with a side of personality. You might even have the owner, Sue Gee Lehn, pop by to say hello! And if you love the food (which you will), don’t forget to grab a bottle of their famous hot sauce to take home!
🍻 Park City Pub – Dive Bar Vibes, Elevated!
Dive bar lovers, this is your place! Park City Pub is all about good times with pool tables, fantastic food, and super-friendly staff. Their new outdoor patio is perfect for chilling, and with daily specials like Taco Tuesdays and Wing Wednesdays, you’ll want to make this a regular stop. Sports lover? They’ve got you covered! Catch all the big sports games here!
🎨 Mason Street Mural – A Colorful Celebration
Behind Park City Pub, you’ll find the city’s latest masterpiece: the Mason Street Mural! This vibrant piece, crafted by the City Repair Project in September 2024, celebrates growth and gardening on a grand scale. It’s a community-funded project, so don’t miss your chance to see this stunning work of art and support the local arts scene!
📚 Gregory Heights Library – Your Cozy Community Hub
Need a quiet space to dive into a good book or get some research done? The newly painted and landscaped Gregory Heights Library, part of the Multnomah County system, is your go-to. Open Monday through Sunday, it’s the perfect place for some peaceful reading or work time.
🍸 My-O-My – Drinks, Vibes, and Wallpaper Goals
If you’re into stylish atmospheres, My-O-My should be high on your list! Located across 82nd and up Sandy, this bar has ALL the vibes. From its cool drinks to its jaw-dropping wallpaper, this place is a must-visit. Don’t forget to check out their rotating food trucks on the patio—it’s always something delicious!
🌲 The Grotto – A Peaceful Escape in East Portland
You don’t have to be Catholic to appreciate the serene beauty of The Grotto. With its park-like atmosphere, the “Stations of the Cross” loop offers a peaceful stroll through the woods, perfect for reflecting or simply enjoying nature. Think of it as East Portland’s mini Forest Park!
🏺 The Sandy Jug – Iconic Design, Now Reimagined
Known for its unforgettable architecture, the Sandy Jug is a must-see! Once a strip club, it has been transformed into a funky, one-of-a-kind bar by the team behind Portland’s Sandy Hut and Holman’s. The “jug of jugs” retains its quirky roots but with a cool new vibe. Stop by for drinks and admire the unique décor!
🐾 Sacajawea Park – For You and Your Furry Friend
This adorable park is perfect for both humans and their four-legged pals! With a large fenced-in dog area and views of Mt. St. Helens on clear days, Sacajawea Park is a peaceful little retreat in the Cully neighborhood, a short walk for people in Roseway. It’s also adjacent to Sacajawea Elementary School, making it a great spot for families.
🌳 Wellington Park – A Hidden Green Space
A bit smaller than Sacajawea but just as charming, Wellington Park is a 4-acre gem shared with Scott Elementary School. It has a great playground for the kiddos and is perfect for a quick stop or a leisurely pass-through from West to East Roseway.
🚶♂️ Skidmore Trail – A Local Secret Worth Discovering
Between 82nd and 79th on Skidmore (not 100% sure on the exact blocks, but trust me!), there’s a secret trail winding between properties. It’s like stepping into a hidden world for a few blocks—super cool and worth checking out!
Roseway is quickly growing into one of East Portland’s most exciting neighborhoods, so get out there and start exploring! 🌸✨
