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.

But that doesn’t usually happen until early December, so I suspect that adventure is still coming. This weekend, though, the Clones are heading to a party tomorrow at Gigantic Brewing’s Barrel Room to celebrate a beer collab among Chris Willis, Weird Portland United, and Gigantic.
