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. For the full experience, devotees pair a fireside seat with a Terminator Stout and some Cajun tots.

The Northeast Portland location of Old Town Brewing is home to a beautiful stone fireplace next to the bar, within a taproom with serious Tudor design touches. Visitors can sit in plush armchairs next to the fire with a pint, or maybe just a meatball sub. Old Town is also available for private events.

Although Radio Room is mostly known for its large outdoor fireplace on the lower-floor patio, the dining room with the retro bingo sign is also home to a burly wood stove. To lean into the cold-weather vibes, opt for a bowl of the soup du jour, or a hearty plate of brunch biscuits and gravy.

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 seared Oregon albacore and bavette steaks.

Papa Haydn is known for its dazzling layer cakes, but its restaurant serves nice array of small plates and cocktails for a lovely evening by the fire. Visitors should ask for a seat in the back to score a nice spot next to the fireplace, which burns throughout the winter months. Go all-out with a cup of cocoa, French onion soup, and a seasonal dessert like maple gingerbread cake.

In this moody, low-lit cocktail lounge and restaurant, those lucky enough to do so nab the fireside armchairs where they can sip Manhattans and sours by firelight. Vault is also home to an impressive happy hour, with $5 sandwiches and $7 gimlets.

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.

This hybrid bar/restaurant/music venue boasts a back patio fire pit in the spring and summer, but in the bar proper, there's a fireplace that helps drive home the "log cabin" theme. Those looking to sip an Old Fashioned on the cushy fireside couches should ask for directions to the fireplace room.

If one were to get snowed in, there probably isn't a better place than one that has more than 2,000 bottles of booze. Multnomah Whiskey Library has all that, plus cocktails made with top-shelf spirits and a large fireplace surrounded by a few plush leather armchairs. Those who aren’t members should arrive early to put their names on the list; those who donate $250 to the Oregon Food Bank will be able to purchase a membership almost immediately, which allows them to make reservations.

This quirky converted hotel lobby turned lounge is dark and cozy with a wood stove near one of the intimate seating areas, where couples snack on bacon-wrapped dates and charcuterie. To double-down on the hygge, visitors can opt for the bar’s hot buttered rum, brewed with peanuts for a little nutty sweetness.

Sellwood's cozy neighborhood bar started out as a bungalow, and the house's original fireplace is still in action, lit in the evenings now that the weather has turned. Neighborhood locals warm up alongside it with a Jim Beam hot toddy or pitcher of beer, and maybe a personal-sized pizza.
