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.

The same dessert case also holds a marionberry poppyseed cake that gets mentioned more than almost anything else on the menu. Then there’s the cherry pie, the key lime, and a banana cream that counts as a house signature.
