Portland’s Best Cozy Bars for the Winter

While Portland summers are idyllic and sunny, and our autumns are heralded by explosions of crimson and gold across the city, our winters can get downright grim. We don’t often freeze solid like a Midwestern city, but when the sun sets in the early afternoon and the days are filled with gloomy clouds and a constant icy drip, winters can be punishing. But that’s why we have bars, especially those warm, welcoming spots with firepits and hot toddies and hearty meals to drive out the chill and the brutal malaise. Some places offer year-round comfort, while others bring festive joy with holiday pop-ups and themes. Here are some picks for our favorite cozy, wintry bars.

Sunshine for the Season: Help bring food, hope, and joy to our neighbors in need

This holiday season, KATU is partnering with Sunshine Division to help fight hunger and make a meaningful difference for families across the Portland area. The holidays are a time for giving, gathering, and celebrating with loved ones. But for many of our neighbors, this season brings an added challenge: putting food on the table. With the rising cost of groceries and everyday essentials, too many local families are facing difficult choices just to make ends meet. That's why KATU created Sunshine for the Season — a community initiative designed to shine a spotlight on the incredible work of Sunshine Division and rally our community to help our fellow neighbors during their time of need.

To the cities that cut down trees to plant more expensive ones

Behind a row of quiet suburban houses, there once stood a large greenspace filled to the brim with plants and animals. It spanned several acres, providing a home for countless species within an otherwise developed area. The neighborhood residents could enjoy the beautiful scenery whenever they liked. However, in 2026, the once-humble forest behind my childhood home is now a pile of dirt lined by construction vehicles.

Reconnecting With Your Lloyd Ones

No matter your stance on the Lloyd Center mall’s closing, future demolition, and redevelopment, it’s difficult to deny that this year’s holiday season will feel a little hollow without it. While most of the mall’s 100+ storefronts had been vacant for the past five years, the owners’ offers of reduced rent to fledgling businesses, art spaces, and market pop-ups earned Lloyd Center a new reputation as a startup incubator and growing community for Portland’s weird.
