50 Best Wine Bars near Lake Oswego

“wine, service, wine, atmosphere“

“Always a great time and a beautiful meal at Beso. The service is friendly and the food is quality. Such a warm and comfortable environment.“

“I have been at Riccardo's twice for lunch in the pass month. The food, and service are superb. I wanted to tell Riccardo in person what a wonderful Ristorante that he has, but he had already left. Thank you.“

“Very cute cafe with super lovely workers. They know their regulars by name & make an amazing coffee (as someone who doesn't drink coffee very often because it tends to be hit or miss). I would definitely recommend the latte caramelo. Thank you for a lovely experience <3“

“Food was good and reasonably priced and they had a great selection of beer and wine and great service all in all it was a great experience“

“This was our first visit and it was fantastic! From the ambiance to the food, it was amazing! We shared several small plates, and they All were Exceptional! They included: Fried Squid, Korean Brussels Sprouts w/Braised Pork Belly, Crispy Braised Pork Belly, and Thai Crab Cakes. Our server was Jennifer, and she was an Amazing Delight!..with her pleasant way, her recommendations, and her perfect attentiveness! We'll be back for sure!!“

“I simply cannot rave enough about this restaurant! While researching great date night dinner spots, I came across Arden—and when my hairstylist also recommended it, I knew I had to book it. From the moment we stepped in, everyone was incredibly friendly, fun, and welcoming. We chose to sit at the counter and opted for the chef's tasting menu. We enjoyed delicious mocktails, sampled extraordinary dishes, and savored every moment. Our server was absolutely lovely, and it was such a treat to chat with the chef preparing the appetizers and desserts right in front of us. We even spotted the head chef as he arrived to dine himself! We had the most wonderful time from start to finish and are already planning our next visit. Arden is top-notch—an absolute gem!“

“Went here as a early Mother’s Day treat with my daughter. Had the sample plate…. So delicious and we learned we liked it all! Also got a sundae….. totally recommend. For take home I got the cookies. This place is a gem! Stop by and check it out for sure if you are ever in the area.“

“Supertrevliga ägare och mycket gott vin“

“THE BEST wine bar in Portland. Friendly and knowledgable staff make discovering natural wines as fun as they are delicious. Rotating daily wines by the glass, and extensive bottles available for purchase, bring an invigorating whimsical fun to this small bar. With the occasional weekend DJ, the vibe in this lively and lovable wine bar is a can’t-miss.“

“This place is the Portland dream: an incredible farm-to-table dining experience in an unassuming, DIY-charming little storefront - which you can just walk into without a reservation, on most nights. Yes, the service can be a bit spacey and slow, if always well intentioned. But the food and wine are so incredibly lovely it’s worth a little patience. While you wait out The NY Times hype at L’orange, eat here! It hits a very similar, very high note!“

“My good friend Renee and I had an enchanted evening at Domaine Serene where we had the pleasure of trying their ambitious new menu which is now available to the public. The new menu has been crafted in collaboration with iconic, local Executive Chef George Morris, of Bos Taurus and Nomé notoriety, and features creative wine-inspired cuisine with a French bistro flair, and notable Pacific Northwest ingredients. We had been eagerly anticipating the new menu launch event, and it was a memorable and magical experience with every course. Our multi-course dinner was exceptional, and the world class wine pairings were curated with thoughtfulness. Some of our favorite dishes included: Amuse-Bouche // Shigoku Oysters on The Half Shell w/ Blood Orange ‘R’ Rosé Granita, & Yuzu Kosho. Beef Short Rib Bourguignon // Creamy Polenta, Root Vegetables, w/ a Red Wine Jus. For me, the culinary star of the show, and probably one of the best dishes I’ve ever had: The Steamed Foie Gras Wontons A rich, delectable creation framed with a Smoke-Forward Shoyu, and Aromatic; Miyagi Chili Oil, Hints of Mint From the Shiso, and the citrus notes from the lime accentuated the strengths of the dish with a delicate balance. With their exciting new menu, and added team members, now is a great time to go experience the serendipity of Domaine Serene for yourself.“

“Lovely little tasting room/cafe. My husband and I did not have any wine - only coffee & chai but both were amazing! I also saw some of my favorite wines hanging so we'll be back to enjoy a glass. Cookie we got was very tasty and our server was so sweet. 10/10 experience!“

“somebody told me that this place had the best charcuterie board so obviously i had to immediately order one; (for take out because i was at work) and even though it was take out it was still presented beautifully and had such a great variety of things i haven’t seen from other places! my coworker and i immediately ate the entire thing. it was incredible, and i might make this a weekly habit. thank you syndicate!“

“Love this spot. It’s so unique, cozy, and dark being situated in a basement/cave. Great spot for a low key night with friends or a date. The wine selection is nice, good snacks (recommend the toasted almonds), and service is solid. Friendly team. Consider making a reservation, as it is pretty small. On Resy, the “lounge” is the basement/cave portion.

We went here once before with it was Les Caves. It was very cool then, too, and I think basically the same. I’m pretty sure it’s under the same ownership, just with a new name.“

“1000 stars. Definitely our local. Always take friends from out of town - everyone falls in love with it like we did the first time. Christopher, Kai and Arlan have become family. Oh, and try wine list is spectacular as are the snacks ❤️❤️“

“We stopped in for a quick tasting. This place has a variety of wines to choose from and taste. The service was great and we enjoyed learning more about the particular wines, etc. The hummus snack was the right complement to the wine flights we had.

If you’re in the area and looking for a sip or to kill some time, def stop in!“

“Best hidden gem of a wine bar in North Portland. Cozy, comfy space.Half glasses available and great variety. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful in navigating your wine journey. Cocktails available if wines are not your thing. Small bites to complete your tasting. Take away bottles are available.Absolutely love Gilded Raccoon!“

“Great bartender. Treats every customer like family.“

“Bar Diane is honestly a showcase of so many great elements that makeup a space that is welcoming, enjoyable, and relaxing to be present within. It starts with the decor of the bar which is just 10/10. I absolutely love the design of the walls, the lights, the wooden ceiling and secluded booths. Once you see the little alleyway Bar Diane is tucked within, you'll realize just how special the design is going to be.

Secondly, the drinks here are so delicious. We tried the espresso martini, French 75, Hazey Rose, and a Strega Daiquiri which we're all fantastic. A special shout-out to the espresso martini which has to be my favorite cocktail I've ever had. It combies my favorite coffee roasters brew (shout out to Sterling Coffee) to make a drink that is sweet and smooth and not at all bitter but while still retaining a coffee base. Amazing drink!!

The food here tops everything off with easy to eat items, with standouts being the Lobster Roll (must try) and their steak which was cooked perfectly.

Along with the really sweet and welcoming staff, Bar Diane is a must visit and a soon to be staple bar you'll be returning to. Can't recommend this place enough, go out and try it!“

“absolutely loved everything about this place.. ❤“

“We recently held a family event at Battle Creek Cellars in Portland, and thanks to Jenny, in particular, and the whole staff in general, it was an amazing experience. Thank you one and all!“

“Cute little place in a strip mall—that in mind I didn’t have super high hopes to be honest but this place is a gem! The food menu is thoughtful and innovative, the drinks are solid, and the staff are so charming and helpful. Will definitely be back.“

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and what a treat! Our server was phenomenal and helped us make great choices for amazing food + wine pairings. The chef also accommodated my food allergies with ease. Highly recommend! We plan to return very soon.“

“The burger was tasty but the bun wasn’t toasted so it got kinda mushy, but the buffalo cauliflower and the Parmesan fries were both AMAZING and more than made up for it. The wine selection was diverse and affordable and the atmosphere was lively without being too loud. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Probably the best pizza in Oregon. I’ve had pizza scholls and this place is just as good or better. It’s also more reliable as far as actually being open. I like pizza scholls but it’s a nightmare to try and plan any pizza or if it’s even open on that day. This a great reliable pizza place that is right up there or better. The parking is a bit terrible cause it closer to inner city and new seasons doesn’t allow outside parking. The full pizzas are smaller so two hungry can share an entire pizza or maybe one really hungry. I will be back I haven’t tried the folded pizza yet.“

“Honestly was the best steak house I’ve been to… I liked how the waiter explained the whole process to the table, gave great recommendations & the chef gave us a free soup sample. All the food was 5/5 stars. Best steak & pork chop hands down.“

“What a surprising portal into the magical world of vineyards, great wine, and genuine people. Unassuming and authentic. We were looking for a light meal and glass of wine when we stopped in and found a cozy wine bar - just the ticket! Food was excellent. Wines were top notch. Owners and staff were friendly and knowledgeable.“

“From the outside, you approach a rather non-descript older building somewhere between Slabtown and the Pearl. However, the moment you step through the metal-framed glass front door, you are transported somewhere else. Moreover, what you come to realize as you gaze at the eclectic collection of memorabilia throughout is that there is a story waiting to be told.
However, before you can get to the “back” story, cozy up to the bar and introduce yourself to Chris. He is the laid-back host, sommelier, front man, musician, producer, tour guide, curator, deli chef, etc… He’ll tell you about the French wines they are pouring this week. Perhaps a French Rose or Chardonnay is what you’re looking for, but for me, and always, it’s the French red. Tonight, we had a bottle of the 2016 Bordeaux, with a simple but delicious charcuterie board. Yes, Chris did the corking, decanting, and charcuterie carving!
There are so many things right about this wine bar and the vibe here that you simply must visit. It’s hip, chill, cool, old school charm, and before you take your first sip of wine, you are already in love! The signs hanging on the walls appear to be from a bygone era. Maybe they reference the building’s history? I’m quite sure Chris would be happy to answer your questions. He’s an excellent conversationalist, and is one of the main reasons this place is so unique and absolutely worth you’re your time to explore.
I won’t get into the “back” story about this place, but it’s fascinating, and if you are one of the lucky patrons, you might just get a guided tour by the above-mentioned curator, Chris.
I have attached a few pictures from our recent tour for your consideration. Cheers!“

“Absolutely! Great service, amazing selection, and wonderful ambiance! A MUST!“

“Best place for beer in the area!!! AJ, best Beertender ever!“

“Delicious wine and tapas and specials. They serve sangria too. One of our favorite spots in Portland. Definitely check out this place if you haven’t because you won’t be disappointed.“

“Jewan is a visionary, especially in the vegan food scene. If you have the privilege to catch this DAME/Plant-Based-Papi pop-up, do it! This is some of the best ramen you'll ever have, & from one of the nicest & most hard-working dudes in the business. We are cider-people, so simply having the choice between French, Italian, or Spanish ciders would've sold us, regardless of the food on offer (spoiler: it is all wonderful). Would recommend to anyone, vegan or not; this is about FOOD, & it is DELICIOUS.

Vegetarian options: 100% vegan“

“I found "Oregon Wines On Broadway" while looking for a place to try various Oregon Pinot Noir wines in one location. I loved it so much I went there twice during my visit to Portland. I was able to taste a number of great wines (7) and purchased a couple of bottles.
The place is small and intimate and Kate (the owner) is extremely knowledgeable about her wines. Some cheeses and nuts are available to enhance the experience.
Oregon Wines On Broadway is highy recommended to get a good sense of the wonderful wines in Oregon!“

“LOVE!!!! wish we had a place like this in denver..... great vibe great negroni great ROMAN ViBE!!!!! b4 dinner after dinner CANT GO WRONG!!!!“

“Great atmosphere, great service. Exclusivity!!“

“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.“

“I love this place! Such great selections on their rotating list, and amazing food to boot“

“Down home cool. Not a bad wine in the place. Jill does her homework.“

“Delicious wines paired with fresh sweet oysters and Pinot noir mignonette…. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ check out their wine tour too! Wine tasting from 9-5!“

“I regret I did not take any pictures, but when the palate is filled with tasty treats one forgets. This is a must fold experience of you have never been. Flavors galore, the dumplings, all of them, are a must and the appetizers are deelish and fun to boot. We,are lucky to have this spot in Portland, it's a treat“

“We’ve been to Feral twice, once for dinner and once for a special brunch event, and both times we had a memorable, delicious meal. It is unlike anything else in Portland with thoughtful, playful dishes. Whether it’s a fancy occasion or a dinner with friends, I highly recommend Feral. My personal favorite is the chips n dip but I’m from Minnesota so of course I love vegan dip!! Mocktails and other drink offerings are a 10/10 as well!! Updated from previous review on 2024-03-13“

“My wife and I come here for special occasions and last night we celebrated her birthday! As always, the service was excellent, food was impeccable, atmosphere was cozy, and a very enjoyable experience. It is a small place which only adds to the intimacy of service and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who is very knowledgeable in all his dishes and wines which were incredible as well! We love C'est Si Bon and will continue to come here everytime we want to celebrate something at a special place!“

“Olympia Provisions offers an outstanding dining experience with its expertly crafted charcuterie and innovative dishes. The quality of the meats is exceptional, and the flavors are rich and authentic. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates artisanal food!“

“The food here is top quality and tastes amazing! After being vegetarian for many years, I’m very particular about where my meat comes from. I love the story behind Pasture and can trust that the protein comes from an ethical source. The absolute best!“

“The food is fresh, on point and delicious! So happy that we found this spot! We will be back for sure!“

“Great pho with better than most cuts of meat. My wife got the pad thai and said she enjoyed it very much. Would recommend to friends. They were also very nice to my 2.5 year old daughter and were considerate enough to bring a small bowl for her to share some of our food with.“

“Miles is a great guy! Drop by to say hello 🤙“

“The new owner, Romano Brown has raised the bar for Oregon dining. Your always greeted with a smile and super friendly service. Combination of a talented chef, a delectable menu and a well-trained and attentive staff...Ovation Bistro will give you a memorable experience in all facets!“
