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.

This Oregon Fabric Store Lets Budget Sewists Fill a Whole Cart Without the Guilt

Some shoppers walk in needing one zipper and walk out with three projects’ worth of fabric tucked under each arm. That happens a lot at one big fabric shop in Beaverton, Oregon.

A New Vision for Native American Art at Portland Art Museum

At PAM, galleries showing Indigenous works have been reinstalled and reimagined. Tucked in the Portland Art Museum’s refreshed second-floor galleries hangs a vibrant, kaleidoscopic artwork of geometric patterns overlaid with the words “Past + Future = Present.” Created by Choctaw and Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson for the US Pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale, the piece is part of Shifting the Narrative: 21st Century Acquisitions, an exhibition that kicked off last fall when the museum unveiled its transformed space. Displayed alongside flat bags from the Columbia River Plateau region, Choctaw basketry, Northwest Coast transformation masks, and works from contemporary artists Lillian Pitt, Julie Buffalohead, Sara Siestreem, and Will Wilson, Gibson’s words also point to a curatorial shift.
