50 Best Wine Bars in Portland

“Came to Parallel for an early dinner before a movie at Hollywood and couldn't have had a better experience. The service was top notch, the food was fantastic, and the half-off happy hour bottle of wine was delicious and a great value! This is a perfect spot for a date night with the light fare, long wine list, creative cocktails, and an elegant cozy interior. It was busy but quiet and we loved the music selection. Can't wait to return to this awesome spot!“

“Decided to go here because of our Chase Sapphire and now we would go back without the additional cash back. The food was so good and everything blended together so well. The duck for 2 dish was phenomenal and even though we were full we could have kept eating. Definitely recommend this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had an incredible meal here celebrating a birthday. We told our server what we planned on ordering and they recommended several different bottles of wine and different price points that would pair well with our meal. All the food was good but the stand outs were the yellowtail toast (incredible) and eggplant butter focaccia“

“Grana is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots in Portland. The food is consistently outstanding—every dish feels thoughtful and authentic and their pizzas are so flavorful and light.

But what really sets Grana apart is the service - the staff are always polite, welcoming, and accommodating. One time our son had his bike with him, and they kindly offered to keep it inside for safekeeping (without us even asking!) —small gestures like that show how much they care about their guests.

After our last disappointing experience at the *other* “well-known” pizza place in the neighborhood, we can honestly say we’ll never go back there. Grana has everything we want—amazing food, genuine hospitality, and consistency. This is the Portland pizza place we’ll keep returning to. <3“

“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!“

“Saw an ad on Instagram about this spot and boy am I so glad I saw it! This place is so beautifully decorated and immediately sets a fun, polished, welcomIng vibe. I'm a big fan of flights so was very happpy to see that at the forefront of this menu. We went for the bubbles flight - everything was delicious and I had never had a sparkling red! For the food we tried the fondue (delish), deviled eggs, and tuna tartare (definitely the star). Service was amazing as well of course can't wait to come back and also can't believe I had never explored this area before!“

“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“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

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

“It's always a good experience at Wine & Growl. Amazing drinks and excellent service by Gabriel and Dylan. The food is good, although I would like to see another option or two for vegetarians/pescatarians.. Bring back the salmon risotto? That was incredible!“

“Gawd…Aren’t we spoiled in Portland? Another gem discovered.

This is a meal I will remember for its simple perfection.

Haricot verts served cool with mint, almonds, pickled cherries tossed lightly in chèvre based ‘dressing’. Carrots roasted to perfection with balanced heat and sweetness served over a cloud of whipped chèvre. A meltingly tender boef steak. My idea of a perfect meal. Cocktails were delicious. A memorable sparkling rosé.

Service was impeccable. The ambience, warm, charming and romantic.“

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

“Home for live Music featuring talented players.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love how the owners support the community. Great wine selection and knowledge and always find friendly people to visit while sipping a glass of wine.“

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

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

“If you're downtown, don't blow it and go somewhere else to get a bottle of wine, or get a sip of something delicious.

This place is a Portland institution, for lack of a better and more casual term.

1) You will find what you need.

2) You will find a selection of local and international bottles with love and expertise that leaves you smiling.

3) You will feel at home. Get a glass here. If you sip wine from the box at home, or if you buy from the crate. It doesn't matter, you belong here.“

“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!“

“I’d seen this place a couple times on my way to the train station, and was so thrilled when I had the opportunity to stop in tasting flights of lovely wine, a very chill atmosphere, and Sarah working behind the bar was just a delight!

I cannot wait to go again soon!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️❤️“

“They have an excellent staff. It is a great causal place to dine or just have drinks. The food is 5 stars for sure. We have had their Caesar Salad , roasted cauliflower and French fries. They have a great wine selection and it is very fun to sit outside in the sunshine. We are looking forward to ordering dinner as we just have had snacks while we wait for our grandchildren to get out of a class.“

“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!“

“Never judge a book by its cover. This unassuming spot is a true hidden gem. I went for a shared birthday with my girlfriend. We each tried a different 'Fancy Pour' and contemplated the Caviar Service (It's our Birthday), Kaluga roe, creme fraiche, chives, blinis and chips -- did I say It's our Birthday. So had the perfect evening sipping incredible champagne and being decadent because it's our Birthday!
Staff was great and vibe was perfect.“

“Awesome experience (only because of the bartender). Em, the bartender was fantastic. She was so kind and knowledgeable of the drink and food menu. She was also so good that she got us bar patrons to speak to each other as well. I love the atmosphere she created. Shes a grade A employee and I hope you pay her what she deserves! Her personality and love of her job shows so much. I only had one drink and was so impressed with Em. Give that lady a raise and hold on to her!“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere, great service. Exclusivity!!“

“Came here to celebrate my friends recent promotion. Place is very cozy and eclectic in a great way. Lovely wine selection, plenty of options without being overwhelming. Champagne list was great and reasonably priced. Staff was lovely. Very friendly and welcoming.Kept our champagne chilled for us and made sure our glasses were never empty. Will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Enjoyed my second visit to Kachka. The menu is vast and varied. I plan to come back often to experience everything! Wonderful food, drink, service and ambience. Last time I had cold fish appetizers and dumplings. This time, cabbage roll, soup, pickled vegetables, chickory salad and more dumplings. You can't go wrong. If vodka is your thing, the infused options are impressive and delicious.“

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

“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.“

“〇Papardelle ($26) 〇Foccacia ($12) 〇Cream Brulee ($12) ✨Review✨ I had the Papardelle which is a wide, flat pasta with a rich, lasagna-like meat sauce. It was piquant and so delicious!😋 Foccacia came with a bright citrus tang and garlic and I loved it! For dessert I had the Cream Brulee and it was like the creamiest custard ever. I am obsessed.😍 They even lit a candle for my birthday and it made me so happy!🕯 We also ordered fries on the side for a baby and they were so friendly and accommodating!👶🍟 Updated from previous review on 2025-12-19“

“Great food and service. Can be a bit loud at peak times but I've never experienced a noise issue while dining in. If you're seated in the area by the door you'll inevitably end up smelling like the kitchen when you leave. Overall, absolutely worth it and we will continue to return!“

“I loved having room service from the nicest people in PDX. I loved every bite. I loved every flower. Quality abounds with matched flavors. I'm a chef's kid...believe me, you do not need to uber eats or door dash when nutritional wholesomeness is a quick dial away! Thank you.“

“Wow. My wife and I had lunch here yesterday and it did not disappoint. It’s a clean walk up and order spot where you order on the tablet. We shared the OG sandwich. It was actually incredible! I would come back again to keep trying the other sandwiches that all sounded amazing too.“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“found ourselves in the st johns area and had this pizzeria on our list to visit for a while! simple pie choices on the menu, but in my humble opinion that is the mark of a good pizza place. the pizza we chose (prosciutto with green olives) had very high quality ingredients and tasted great. the crust was next level crisp and flavorful. lombardo's has a few picnic tables outside for seating, which was a lovely way to eat a lovely pizza on a lovely autumn day. service was friendly and quick. absolutely would recommend and would return.“

“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! 🥂🍾“

“Didn’t try the food, so five stars there. Selection is very good, well curated but oddly laid out. If I had to nitpick I’d say there’s a lot of filler in between islands of quality. Prices are very reasonable. Went here on a gift card, would I go back with real money? I think so.“

“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.“

“Wow! Hands down the best Portland dining experience I've had in at least three years. The standout from our meal was the ahi tuna cannoli, such an inventive and flavorful dish. I have to thank our fantastic server for suggesting we order the cannoli. Its been three days since our evening at Street Disco and I can't stop thinking about their food. Also loved their squash cavatelli and chicken nuggies. Will be coming back soon.“

“My fiancee and I have been HUGE fans of Dingers Deli since before COVID and the closing of their food cart.
But now they have this rad little pop-up at The Uncanny!
BEST VEGAN SAMMICHES EVER!

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS!“
