Looking for a breezy place to enjoy the weather with a beer and paper bowl of heinously addictive Truffle Treasure Tots ($7) from Dog House PDX? There may not be any better Southeast Portland hangout.

2. Chapel Hill

4380 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 503-819-7219.

The owner of popular Northeast Sandy Boulevard bar Church has opened another house of worship, this one on Hawthorne. It has neon art, grain-and-tile décor and a menu featuring pho tacos. Hallelujah!

3. Grains of Wrath

230 NE 5th Ave., Camas, Wash., 360-210-5717, gowbeer.com.

Ex-Fat Head's brewer Mike Hunsaker's new brewpub finally gives you a reason to visit Camas. Start your drinking with the Mötörhead-themed Overkill IPA, a passionfruit masterpiece in which every IBU is utilized for maximum effect.

4. Keys Lounge

533 NE Killingsworth St., 503-719-7409, keyspdx.com.

The owners of Radio Room have converted a former King neighborhood key shop into a midcentury rumpus room that tastefully toes the line between swank and kitsch.

5. The Cavern

4601 SE Hawthorne Blvd.

This dimly lit whiskey joint is the injection of fresh blood the Barmuda Triangle has needed for years—an old rocker bar that's dignified, cozy and a just a wee bit punk.
