Brief History

The Cheese Bar began life as cheese counter in Square Deal Wine (now closed) in northwest Portland. Steve’s Cheese was considered Portland’s premiere cheese counter and back in early 2010, the owner, Steve Jones, decided to move across town to bigger premises and also expand their offerings. In March 2010 the Cheese Bar opened opened selling a range of cheese, charcuterie and specialty grocery products.

What’s On Offer

Part grocery store, part bar/café/meeting place, the Cheese Bar sells a mix of cheese plates. meat plates, sandwiches and delicious soups. In addition, 15 taps dispense a great mix of US beers and there are also dozens of bottles to drink inside or take away.

Located at 6031 SE Belmont St, the Cheese Bar is on the corner of a residential block that’s around a 20-30 minute bus ride from downtown Portland. The interior is simple with a small number of tables and chairs and stools at the bar. The well stocked cheese and meat counter is situated on the left with the bar to the rear. On the right at the back is a mixture of specialty grocery items and bottled beers.
