oregonlive.com • • sports
Key Points:
- A fire broke out early Tuesday at GOL PDX, a popular soccer bar on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard, and was extinguished within 30 minutes with no reported injuries.
- Flames were contained to the roof above GOL, but smoke spread throughout the building’s shared roof structure, affecting multiple neighboring businesses.
- Damage to other businesses, including Hawthorne Nail Care, Yoyo Market, Big Top Tattoos, Rock Soft Futon, and Likely Ivy, was partly due to firefighters checking attic spaces for fire or smoke.
- The building’s shared roof was compromised, and GOL is expected to require gutting before internal repairs can begin; the fire was ruled accidental.
- Some affected businesses, like Likely Ivy bakery, have announced extensive damage and uncertainty about reopening timelines.
