Belmont
SE Belmont and the Sunnyside stretch beside it form Portland's most reliable bar-crawl corridor: a young, loud, walkable strip where the dating bench is deep and the turnover is faster. Horse Brass, Goose Hollow refugees, and the rotating cast at Sandy Hut keep weeknights busier than they have any right to be. The advantage is density; you can rotate three first dates in a six-block radius without anyone noticing. The tradeoff is exactly that: people here date the neighborhood as much as each other, and the scene rewards regulars over newcomers. Pick a bar, become known, and the rest follows.
