Allen's Corner neighborhood pub from the Minervino family, opened May 2025 in the former Parker's space with pizza, burgers, and weekend brunch.
North Deering Tavern opened May 6, 2025 in the former Parker's building at 1349 Washington Avenue in Allen's Corner. Brothers Sam and Rob Minervino — whose family has shaped Portland's neighborhood-pub scene since Sam's Harbor Lunch opened in 1980 — partnered with Marcus Bailey and Anthony Peters to launch the tavern after closing Samuel's Bar & Grill on Forest Avenue that spring. The menu runs pizza, burgers, wings, salads, fish and chips, chicken parm, and Reubens. Open daily 11:30am–1am with weekend brunch from 8am. Was Portland Food Map's most-read story of 2025.
