When prolific Portland cheesemonger Steve Jones announced that he was moving his revered cheese shop from its cozy Northwest Portland nook to the old Parkside Deli digs in Mt. Tabor and fattening it up into a cheese shop/café/neighborhood hangout, you knew instantly which side of the river Portland cheeselovers lived on by the resulting screams of joy/great gulping sobs. Now the wedge and wheel crowd happily flocks to Steve’s straightforwardly-dubbed Cheese Bar at the corner of SE Belmont & 61st Avenue, where you’ll find everything from creamy Bries and blues to odoriferous Langres, as well as a full selection of charcuterie, specialty groceries, chocolate, and a rotating, seasonally-influenced menu of beer-&-wine-friendly sandwiches, salads, soups, and small plates. Six rotating taps and a nicely-curated selection of wine ensures there’s always a stout for your cheddar and a rosé for your Mahón.
