50 Best Wine Bars in Portland

“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.“

“Supertrevliga ägare och mycket gott vin“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Everything was just perfect. Food was delicious (pan seared chicken) and wine selection excellent (Crement). We took advantage of $1 oyster special as well, which was an unexpected surprise. If I lived in Portland I would eat here every day.“

“Patrick and his staff go ABOVE and beyond in terms of giving the best service and preparing the most delicious food. You can tell every dish is made with love, with so much attention to detail down to every single ingredient. Every time we dine-in, we are never disappointed and leave full and happy. Every dish I’ve tried always exceeds my expectations. Patrick is dedicated in his work and wants every single customer to experience the best. That’s what I love about Patrick, he will go out of his way to make sure you get to experience the full potential of every single one of his dishes. He’s always trying to find ways to improve his dishes every single day (which I’m not sure how that’s possible when it’s already the best) but that’s just the type of guy he is, always wanting to do better. Thank you for always taking care of us and making sure we have the best time when we come in❤️“

“Dinner with a couple of friends and we decided to try out the menu. Started with Aracini and the MB Salad. Delicious! On to the main dishes of Foie & Chicken Mousse, Grilled Prawns and King Salmon with Grilled Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts. Finished with the Gilled Bananas Foster. All the dishes were excellent. The staff couldn't have been more friendly or efficient.“

“Overall a good experience, although we left hungry and came home and ate leftovers. This was disappointing after spending $130. We ordered 3 items up front not knowing how the size portions would play out. The plan was to order more if we were still hungry. We were still hungry but it took soooo long for the food to come out that we had to go. We had already been there an hour and a half. The drinks and food that we did have were very good. The citrus salad was probably our favorite.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“My son is an amateur forager, so we had to give Feral a try. I'm so glad we did, because it was a delicious and unique experience. In addition to their foraged ingredients, they are known for their cocktails. I ordered the blackberry seltzer, but was disappointed to learn they were sold out. So the bar tender asked me what I like and created a drink just for me. The food is served family style. For a party of four, we ordered a beet and strawberry salad, a farro grain salad, asparagus with a cream sauce, pesto pasta, and grilled lion's mane mushrooms with lettuce wraps. When almost every bite of food had been devoured, I realized that I had not taken any photos of the meal. Here are photos of our empty plates, the lettuce for wrapping , and one last bite of lion's mane! Highly recommend!“

“I was looking for a spot to sit and chill for an hour or two at PDX close to my gate. Vino Volo was great, I think I had some kind of pesto ham/grilled cheese sandwich that was pretty tasty, and some very good wine. I wanted a private quieter spot so I chose one in the back corner of the place, which was great, but they had other comfier looking lounge chairs out near the front. They had a decent playlist of music that reminded me of some songs I haven't heard of in years and a few others I had to look up to add to my playlists. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Good spot to relax for a while in this corner of PDX!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 🤙“

“Amazing cocktails, decor and bartenders.“

“Every time I visit, the food is consistently fresh and full of flavor. The restaurant has a charming European vibe that makes for a cozy dining experience. I love their small plates, perfect for sharing and trying a bit of everything. Highly recommend for a relaxed, delicious meal with friends.“

“Bar Loon is nothing short of fantastic! The service, the food, the cocktails, and the space are truly lovely. It has easily become one of my favorite spots in Portland and a great place to bring folks to shake things up a bit. I can't wait to see what they have in store as they settle into such a beloved space.“

“It was love at first visit! So fun and down to earth you don’t realize you’re becoming a natural wine snob ;-)“

“Street Disco in Portland is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, setting the tone for the entire experience. The food was out of this world – each dish bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that took me on a culinary journey. The presentation was equally impressive, showing real thought and care put into every plate.

The service was impeccable – attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. It felt like the staff genuinely wanted to make sure we had the best possible experience. Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable meal or a fun night out, Street Disco nails it. Highly recommend!“

“Best pizza in Portland… maybe the world. 12/10!!!“

“Best brunch spot in PDX! 🤍“

“I took my vegetarian significant other to Dame for his birthday and our first March dining experience. Everything was so delicious and the dining month value was good. To get the same thing a la carte would have cost $10 or so more. The food is locally sourced so seasonal dishes. My squid ink pasta was so tasty with a slight kick. And my SO wanted to “take a bucket of the salad home.” Highly recommended“

“Alpenrausch is a charming gem, perfect for a cozy evening. Their fondue is simply exquisite—rich, creamy, and indulgent, served with the tastiest accompaniments. It's a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic Alpine dining experience.“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“I had one of the best dishes that I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. Upon the waitresses enthusiastic recommendation (she seemed really excited about it) I went with the Boscaiola with pasta instead of ravioli. Every bite I took I closed my eyes to just enjoy the explosion of flavors. Hands down best food ever. Highly recommend but don’t forget your reservation!“

“Baja Blast Done Right – Dirty Pretty Knows What’s Up

Stopped into Dirty Pretty and everyone—and I mean everyone—was ordering the Baja Blast drink. Naturally, I had to try it too, and wow… they nailed it. It’s a fun, grown-up twist on the classic Mountain Dew/Taco Bell combo, and it’s absolutely delicious.

The place was packed, but we didn’t have to wait long to grab a seat. They've switched to ordering at the bar only now, and honestly, it sped things up and kept things moving smoothly.

With outdoor seating opening up, this summer is going to be an absolute blast. Great energy, great drinks, and a crowd that clearly knows where the good stuff’s at. Can’t wait to come back!“

“If you’re on the fence about the matcha creamsicle, get it. It WORKS. It tastes like an actual orange creamsicle with creamy vanilla notes, and the matcha adds a sweet, grassy freshness to round it out. I’m obsessed and ordered twice so far! They also serve Jen’s pastries so that’s an added bonus ??.“

“This is another gem in the McMenamins line of fun, historical establishments - and by far my favorite! Been here many times over the years - actually even had my very first lobster roll EVER here (as a special item years ago) and it was amazing. The vibe is so quirky - you definitely feel like you’re walking the halls of your old elementary school - except there are bars and a lively restaurant and even a brewery haha!! The staff has always been super welcoming and friendly. The food at their main Courtyard Restaurant has always been great. On my last visit (July 2023), I had their chicken salad sandwich on croissant and it was SO GOOD!! Even their tater tots were perfectly cooked. And they even have some of the best iced tea I’ve had outside of the south! Their menu changes seasonally so it’s always a treat to try something new. After eating, leave time to explore - the grounds are just gorgeous and you’ll get lost in the nostalgia as you wander around the old school’s hallways. They have several bars - one is huge and has total steampunk vibes. They have a small hotel and a salt water pool - even the bathrooms are beautiful. I’d definitely like to stay here next time - but I imagine it can be a tad spooky at night haha! The school opened back in 1915 so it’s a historic building. The wall art is gorgeous and there are lots of info signs and historical pics scattered around. It’s in a good location in north Portland with plenty of parking and easy to find. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!“

“SW locals are so lucky to have Civic in our backyard!! The staff and owner are all so nice and welcoming, and treat regulars like family. They stock great brews and there’s something for everyone, not to mention a killer take-home beer and wine selection that is literally UNMATCHED. The vibe is always wonderful in here, it feels like an extension of my living room (with the added bonus that they will literally air ANYYY sports game you ask for!!). And the rainbow menu for pride month?! Couldn’t ask for a better neighborhood spot. ??“

“A couple of times I passed by this bar/restaurant and finally when I viewed the web site, the pictures in side and out side looked very interesting. The menu looks amazing, I had to try this place out! Went in on a Saturday and sat out on the patio, very nice area and clean, the waitress said it was open seating and the menu is on the QR code on the table. I had already decided what I wanted, ordered the Czech Pils and it tastes so good! For an appetizer I ordered the Fried Green Tomato sliders but request no bun which the waitress said “not a problem”. The basil pesto aioli was so good. I am not one for raw onions but these pickled red onions were great. Fried green tomatoes were actually my first time ever eating and thoroughly enjoyed every bite! Next ordered the Pimento burger with no bun, this is were things changed, the hamburger patty was so over cooked and thin that some of the beef was crunchy. The pimento cheese is made in house along with the red pepper habanero jelly and both were delish! I substituted and had house made Cole slaw which was so good! I did order gumbo and jambalaya with chicken and sausage to take to my elderly mother as a to go. When I got the food home to her she opened each container and each order was amazing! I will defiantly go back and order something else on the menu and I am sure that I will enjoy the food and beer and this great bar/restaurant! I have found a new place to worth going back too!“

“Always outstanding Never had a bad meal there“

“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.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“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 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.“
