Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox venue The Belmont Inn, or simply Belmont's,[1] is a bar along Belmont Street in the district of the same name within southeast Portland, Oregon's Sunnyside neighborhood. Owned by Seth Leavens,[2] the bar has pool,[3] darts, a jukebox, and video poker.[4][5]

History

Matthew B. Traxler owned the bar, as of 1994.[1] In March 1994, a beverage manager was shot in the head and killed after closing the bar.[1][6] Two people were charged and sent to prison.[7]

In 1996, the bar hosted a wake for Berton E. Green, known as the "Baron of Belmont".[8] In August, Traxler expressed frustration with new development in the area, when neighboring Belmont Dairy was converted into apartments in retail spaces. He said limited parking for months at a time due to construction had a negative impact on his business and questioned the selection of Zupan's grocery for the neighborhood.[9]

In the late 1990s, the bar was tagged by a Reed College student known for writing "Maul" in graffiti. She was fined for her prolific work across Portland.[10]

The bar has hosted trivia nights. British Pub Quiz and Pub Quiz Oregon were held weekly, as of 2005 and 2006, respectively.[11][12]

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the business supported a proposed plan to convert several blocks along Southeast Belmont Street into an outdoor dining area.[13]
