• One of several gay-friendly but mixed hangouts in the cool Belmont Street area of Portland's East Side, Aalto Lounge caters to an unconventional crowd. The bar takes its name and aesthetic inspiration from Finnish designer Alvar Aalto, and the interior is minimalist and relaxed. This is an excellent spot to meet a friend for a glass of wine or a pint of local IPA before dinner along nearby Hawthorne Boulevard. (SOURCE)
