Description
[edit]The bar and restaurant Hey Love operates on Burnside Street, as part of Jupiter Hotel's Next building in Southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood. Inside is an "indoor jungle"[5] with ferns and other plants,[6] as well as vintage lanterns.[7] Willamette Week described the decor as "a flurry of highly photogenic touches from the South Pacific circa 1976, with intricate floral wallpaper, mismatched photos and a jungle of leafy plants that directly encourage the consumption of sugary, high-proof cocktails".[8]
Menu
[edit]Hey Love serves brunch and lunch.[9] The brunch menu includes birria chilaquiles,[10] "breakfast tots",[11] buttermilk donuts and gravy, cinnamon rolls with CBD caramel, shrimp and grits,[12] a mango basil seed parfait with coconut whip, grits with barbecue sauce and watercress pineapple salad, and squash ganoush with chickpeas and vegan feta.[13] Hey Love has also served ceviche, crab sliders, and nachos with chile verde and pickled jalapeños.[14] The restaurant has gluten-free and vegan options.[15]
The drink menu has alcoholic slushies[16] and other tiki-themed cocktails.[17] Options include the Tropical Contact High (a variation of a piña colada), the Master of Karate & Friendship (frosé with rum, lime, and strawberries), and the Oaxacan Sunrise (mezcal-passionfruit margarita).[18][19]

The team behind Hey Love includes bartenders Emily Mistell and Sophie Thomson, as well as the co-owners of Dig a Pony, Aaron Hall and Nicholas Musso.[20][21] Hey Love opened in late 2018,[22][23] and began serving brunch and lunch in December.[12] Roscoe Roberson has been the chef.[24][25] In 2022, Hey Love hosted the pop-up Black Lagoon.[26] The bar has also hosted Dolly Parton-themed brunches to celebrate her birthday.[27][28]
Sleigh Love

The interior is decorated with Christmas lights, ornaments,[29] and Santa Claus memorabilia, and the menu included ceviche, layered taco bowls, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Spanish coffee, eggnog slushies, and hot buttered rum.[30] The Toboggan Time is a variation of a frozen Irish coffee with a Rumple Minze float, whipped cream, and sprinkles of candy cane. On December 21, 2023, Sleigh Love hosted Festivus for the Rest of Us, described by Eater Portland as a "celebration for those of the Seinfeldian faith, with a special food menu referencing famous moments from the show" such as matzo ball soup and fried kosher wieners.[29]
