Description

The restaurant and wine bar Street Disco operates on 60th Avenue, near Foster Road, in southeast Portland's Foster-Powell neighborhood. The interior has a dining area with booths and small tables, as well as a bar area with "serious retro vibes thanks to the arched painted brick windows and walls", according to Andrea Damewood of the Portland Mercury . [1] The seating capacity is approximately sixty people. [2]

The menu has included cheeseburger pizza, "bougie" versions of McGriddles, tacos al pastor with grilled octopus, [2] lamb neck, [3] steaks with cacio e pepe compound butter, [4] and European-inspired options such as cavatelli with rabbit ragu and meatballs in tomato sauce. Seafood options include albacore tartare, canned fish with saltine crackers, and oysters on the half shell. [5] [6] For brunch, Street Disco has served omelettes with roe, "seafood towers", bourbon whiskey-fried chicken and waffles, espresso martinis, and drinks similar to an Orange Julius. [7]

History

Street Disco began as a food and wine pop-up restaurant, hosted in establishments Bar Dune and 5 & Dime. Street Disco is owned by former Dame head chef Kyle Christy and former Dame server Jessie Manning. As of mid 2022, Street Disco planned to open a brick and mortar restaurant in the space previously occupied by Char Pizza, in September. [2] [8] [9] [10] The restaurant opened on October 21, 2022. [11]

Reception

Following the restaurant's move into Foster-Powell, Andrea Damewood of the Portland Mercury wrote, "Street Disco, an industry fave pop-up, finally opened its brick-and-mortar this fall, and everything from the neighborhood (Foster-Powell), to the dishes (ever-changing and inventive), and the wine (tons by the glass, quirky) points to a sign that independent restaurants are back, baby. It's young, it's loud, it's a little crowded, and it's a lot of fun." [1] Bon Appétit included Street Disco in a list of the seven "most exciting" new restaurants of October 2022. [11] Christy and Manning were named "rising stars" by the trade publication StarChefs in 2023. [14] [15]

Nathan Williams and Janey Wong included Street Disco in Eater Portland 's 2023 list of recommended restaurants in Foster-Powell. [5] The website's Asia Alvarez and Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the business in a 2024 list of "foolproof first date spots for every kind of Portlander". They called the food "approachable" and "inventive", writing: "There's often something special going on at this jade-hued Foster-Powell restaurant, whether it's a pop-up, an Italian American night, or a collaborative dinner with another Portland spot. Even on the nights Street Disco runs its standard menu, however, you're still in for a treat." [4] In 2024, Jackson-Glidden and Rebecca Roland included Street Disco in Eater Portland's overview of the city's "next-level" restaurants for brunch, [7] and the business was included in a list of Portland's 38 best eateries.
