With the weather taking a cold turn and nights getting longer, Portlanders are ducking into restaurants to enjoy drinks or a cozy meal indoors. With its reputation as a cold and rainy place, Portland has always housed a number of restaurants and bars with fireplaces, places where people can sip stouts or soups by the warm crackle of the flame. Many, many Portland restaurants and bars are home to patios with outdoor fire pits, from EastBurn to the Rambler; this map specifically focuses on restaurants with indoor fireplaces, although a few spots on this map also have outdoor fire pit options for those who feel uneasy dining indoors. This map also skips over restaurants with wood-burning ovens in the kitchen — lovely, but they’re not exactly what we’re going for here. Per usual, this map is not ranked; it’s organized geographically.

Note: Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission. The latest CDC guidance is here; find a COVID-19 vaccination site here.

This renovated chapel-turned-pub has lots of cozy nooks and crannies, including one near a traditional fireplace, but in the center of one of the dining areas is a larger, toasty-warm wood burning stove.

The Fireside

As its name would suggest, the Fireside has two large fireplaces: a round one in the back dining room and a large fireplace in the bar area. Here, Nob Hill neighbors go high-brow or low-brow, either opting for hearty French dips and smash burgers or baked chicken and blackened steelhead.

This legendary Portland Peruvian restaurant is mainly known as a celebration spot for towering causas and super-fresh ceviche.

The old-school Ringside Steakhouse already feels cozy — thanks to its plush red banquettes, candle-lit tables, and brick ceiling — but those looking for a little additional heat can request a seat by the fireplace. To really do Ringside right, lean into the midcentury vibes: an Old Fashioned, a rib-eye, an iceberg wedge, and the onion rings James Beard made famous.
