50 Best Wine Bars near Milwaukie

“My first time here...drove from Salem, and it was well worth the trip! Excellent service, food, entertainment and atmosphere. I had the spicy garlic shrimp appetizer and a Caesar salad. Both excellent. I will definitely be back!“

“Amazing holiday dinner experience! This dinner from start to finish, along with the wonderful service, is one of the best dinner experiences we have had in a while! Relay impressed.“

“No exaggeration - THE BEST SOURDOUGH CRUST PIZZA. Some places say they have it, this place actually lets you taste it. It’s strong and punchy and I cannot wait to get more.

We had a very romantic albeit cozy dinner before a movie next door. We were lucky to score a table on a Saturday evening and have the most fun server! The special was super unique, featuring grilled peaches & prosciutto. We omitted the meat for my vegetarian husband, but next time, I’d recommend any vegetarian sub it for something salty to balance the sweetness.“

“Dinner was amazing. Staff was amazing. just AMAZING. My son took me as a surprise while visiting him from FL. Thank you for making this moment for us. 5 star!“

“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.“

“I live in the Roseway Neighborhood, I have lived here for 14 years, and have loved every year. This Year, I am excited as many new dining options have appeared, and they are good. Parallel Food and Drink, is one of the best. I have been 4 times now, and am already looking forward to my next visit. The team is amazing, the wine is amazing, the food is amazing, and did I say the team is amazing? Run, don't walk, you won't regret a moment spent here.“

“Twice now I’ve eaten at Ox. I came back for the Clam Chowder with Smoked Bone Marrow as it left such a lasting impression. This time, we tried the Skirt Steak with the Radicchio & Romaine Salad. It was a 10/10! Most excellent meal. We also sat at the grille where all the steaks and chops were being prepared, and we loved feeling part of the process. Can't wait to bring family!“

“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.“

“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 wish I'd known about this place sooner! Nice wine selections, delicious snack - the salted rosemary focaccia with tomato jam was terrific! Chanelle and Haru were welcoming hostesses, and the place was a very comfortable place to just hang & enjoy being where I was. I'll definitely be recommending it to friends, and I'm looking forward to my next visit!“

“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.“

“Such a lovely little spot in Portland. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I especially loved the fish toast with capers, mustard, and lemon; everything worked together perfectly. The atmosphere is intimate, warm, and effortlessly charming, making it a great place for a relaxed dinner and wine. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend.“

“Warning! Feral's delicious food may convert you to veganism. My husband and I are not vegan, or even vegetarian, but we have dined at Feral three times in the past couple of months. We used to walk right past, not realizing that plant-based cuisine could truly be as or more flavorful and satisfying than dishes using animal products. I also like that they change up their menu, which will encourage us to keep coming back to see what they are up to. The folks in the kitchen really know what they are doing; I wish they would publish a cookbook! Some outstanding dishes we have tried: focaccia with tomatoes (best we have had) summer squash fettucini, cavatelli with eggplant, little gem salad, cucumber tostada, and a ravioli type dish with a yummy French green sauce. The cocktails and service are also great. I highly recommend Feral to all hungry diners, vegan or not.“

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

“The food is always good. They had an octoberfest special. (Small plate and large plate). Had the small plate with the octoberfest sausage and it was awesome. A warning they do automatically charge the gratuity so make sure if you tip you know it is on top of the gratuity they already put on the bill.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

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

“The food was good, but honestly, I’m not here to talk about the food, I’m here to talk about the service.

In Portland, the land of QR code menus, counter service, and, unfortunately, rude servers, it’s a breath of fresh air to experience genuinely high-quality service. Friendship delivered!

Our server, a dude from Spokane, was one of the best waiters I’ve had in Portland. Actual menus, great suggestions on what to try, full water glasses, and genuinely friendly service.

For those in the restaurant industry reading this: I’m no longer tipping for “non-service” establishments. I’d rather spend my tips on people who actually provide service like this. Zero percent for bunk service and 30% for everything else.“

“Stopped by Bar Diane on a Sunday and absolutely loved it. We had the $2 oyster special, which were fresh and delicious, along with some tinned fish that paired perfectly with our sparkling wine. Sundays are a great deal here with 20% off sparkling wines, making it even better. Cozy vibe, great bites, and excellent value — definitely a spot worth checking out.“

“Play there For the Saturday open mic.As The Ten'N' Ben band we have nothing shy of an awesome night.Come & join in.Either play a gig,listen while sitting amongst the audience,or Both.Hosted every third Saturday by Kirsten.Very welcoming atmosphere.“

“Very friendly and accommodating staff from the hostess, who seated us to the servers. The happy hour menu is quite delicious and many items to choose from including delicious cocktails! I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend!!“

“So, I went to this place called Forte Portland just to check it out. I ended up getting a coffee, but it was completely silent in there. Not a single person was around, which was kind of relaxing, I guess. There's a piano there, but no one was playing it. And get this, the person working the counter was practically asleep when I walked up. I'm guessing it's not exactly a popular place during the day. Maybe it turns into a nice bar or something later at night.“

“Spectacular pizza! The crust was perfectly toasted and crunched on every bite. The marinara sauce was loaded with flavor. The toppings and cheese were fresh and strategically placed evenly throughout the entire pie. It was one of my top three pizzas I’ve ever tried! I highly recommend this place if you love REAL pizza. They also don’t sell ranch, I’m happy they don’t because it would be taking away from the experience. Thank you gentlemen for the incredible pie and I’m looking forward to returning soon.“

“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!“

“Great wine, great service, veri nice staff! PS. Sommelier team from Romania!“

“Street disco has a cool vibe from the minute you walk in! The music, the welcome and the atmosphere were on point!
Our server had such a fun vibrant personality and was extremely knowledgeable! The plates are small so encouraged to share and recommended to order 10-12 plates for the five of us. My favorite plates were the snap pea salad and the carrots with lots of flavor and fun flavor profiles! Our table was extremely satisfied with all of our choices.
My only complaint was the literal two bites of Octopus, if I had realized that I would have ordered something different. The pork belly and meatballs were more of a satisfying portion
My only complaint was“

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

“If you are a wine connoisseur this is quite the find. It's a tiny shop located out of the way but their selection of wines is good and their prices are very competitive. The two owners are there almost all of the time... Easy going and good conversationalist. You won't want to miss this one.“

“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!“

“New favorite wine spot. As somebody who doesn't know a lot about wine, the opportunity to purchase some stranger and sometimes more limited items by the glass is wonderful. The menu formula encourages guests to talk with others about what they are drinking. I loved the atmosphere and the hosts, this is now without a doubt my favorite PDX wine spot.“

“there are few places in portland to drink actually beautiful natural wine with sexy people. you want to find a new crush? you want to drink something where your heart explodes? you want to watch five people kiss? you can have it all.

staff are helpful and insightful without being cagey or snobs. also a plus they actually know what they’re talking about. for anyone who wants a cheeky drink solo, bring your new flirt, or join the collection of bar flies that share bottles for many hours across the bar. a gem and sacred place in the city, i love it here“

“Super cute wine bar! If you like wine, stop by and see what they are pouring that day. Also, they don't really have food. So if you want a full meal, eat before going here. I gave the food 4 stars, because they don't serve meals. You can get nuts, bread, and one other item (I forgot what it is).“

“I stopped by this place on a week day afternoon, and Stefan was very welcoming. I'm not super knowledgeable on the different types and flavor profiles, and he helped me choose some really nice wines. The overall vibe was very unpretentious and comfortable, and the conversation with Stefan was interesting. I got to learn a little bit about the different wines and production processes while I sipped. The Willamette Valley 2024 Pinot Noir was my favorite as someone that prefers red wines, but I was really surprised how much I ended up liking the white pinot noir. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Wow beyond exceptional!! Gabe our server is perfection and made us feel special with treating us like family. Mine and my Son's all time favorite server ever. And Wes behind the bar was the nicest guy that treats you with care and makes you feel truly welcomed. We were blown away by both of them and felt lucky to have found this incredibly top notch cozy place with such phenomenal food. Such an impressive experience which made it so memorable.“

“Great date-night vibes. Loved the simple menu (I get overwhelmed when there are many options) and intimate feel. My music-snob date enjoyed the tunes, and I enjoyed the romantic lighting, great wine, and variety of seating options (private spots, window seats, tucked-away tables, bar seating). Love that it's not just one big room. Bathroom was clean. Bartender was kind and low-key. 10/10.“

“Amazing spot! I had the pleasure of enjoying an awesome glass of wine while talking with the owner Eric (apologies if I got this wrong!). They’ve been open for a little over a year and deserve all the love from the neighborhood!

Very homey spot, good beer/wine selections and great staff! Will be back very soon.“

“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 ❤️❤️“

“Loved it, fun wines that are less commonly seen but really nicely curated. Staff is awesome, industry vets that really care and are great to chat with and happy to put you into a glass that fits what you’re looking for at the moment. Will absolutely be back.“

“Home for live Music featuring talented players.“

“I popped in here for the first time several months ago for lunch and a glass of wine, and ended up having what could arguably be one of the best Italian cold cut sandwiches I’ve had in my life. Seriously, I wake up dreaming about that sandwich sometimes it’s so good. The pepper spread pulls it all together. My partner really enjoys the Cascadia Dip.

When it comes to their wine and beer selections, there is a lot to choose from. It’s a great place to take friends or family because there is something to suit everyone’s tastes. The service has been friendly every time, and the atmosphere is great. I feel like they did a great job maximizing their space without crowding tables so close together you’re bumping elbows with strangers. Amazing spot to try out if you’re in the area!“

“Went here before my meal at Luce and was so impressed with the vibes and the wine— this is a great little spot while you wait for a table. It has some delicious affordable options for wine and also some fab expensive options!
service and dinner at Luce was excellent too. Perfect date night.“

“Great atmosphere, great service. Exclusivity!!“

“It’s always a warm & friendly time at Will’s place. He is a master of recommending wines you’ll like. The food is divine. Cheers to Will & Danielle! 🥂🍾“

“I stopped by this wine tasting room while visiting from out of town and honestly, I didn’t want to leave. The space is so warm and inviting. It immediately felt like the kind of spot I’d be a regular at if I lived nearby. Cozy, charming, and perfect for a laid-back evening or a quiet date night.

The wine selection was fabulous. I tried a few different pours and loved what I tried. And the food was absolutely delicious without trying too hard.

What really made the experience special was the staff. They were so kind and attentive. Friendly in a genuine way, not just polite. It felt like they really wanted me to enjoy myself, and I did.

I truly wish I lived closer. This would be my go-to spot. Until next time!“

“We always have the best time at Pairings! Jeff, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and makes wine approachable and fun. He doesn’t just hand you a bottle—he’ll walk you through the flavor profiles, explain the nuances, and even teach you how to enjoy wine properly if you’re new to it (all with zero pretension). The atmosphere is laid-back and unique, but what really makes it unforgettable is how Jeff matches wines to characters from books, TV shows, and movies. It’s quirky, creative, and so entertaining. Between the imaginative pairings, stellar wine selection, and Jeff’s passion for teaching, Pairings is hands down one of the most unique wine bars you’ll ever visit.“

“Great place to enjoy peruvian cuisine. Lomo saltado was delicious bit the beef could have used a little more flavor, sauce was great though. Bruschetta was mid, not much flavor. Ceviche was great! In general would come again and would recommend. 10000 stars for the drinks and yuca fries⭐“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“Great little bar with an esoteric selection of drinks. Great gluhwein.“

“I love this place—it's a stylish and friendly place to catch some amazing DJs. The cocktails are out of this world good, and the whole place has a vibe.“

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