What People Are Saying About Pour Wine Bar Bistro
The Owner
Pour Wine Bar Bistro
Owner
Pour is friendly neighborhood locale that serves up small plates and fine wines. Patrons with little experience in wine will find a knowledgeable staff offering suggestions and samples while the connoisseur will find eclectic favorites such as Turley by the glass. Champagne lovers don't need to buy a whole bottle, but can enjoy Vueve Clicquot by the glass as well.
Serious wines should be enjoyed with food. Pour showcases small plates designed to complement wine. A delightful cheese plate with rotating fresh, local cheeses tops the appetizer menu along with Spanish Marcona almonds. Other items include a macaroni and cheese, a risotto and paninis including a roasted red pepper, camalized onion and cheve panini. We also have Desserts including a tableside banana flambe'. All this in a snappy modern setting featuring lounge chairs by Saarinen, the architect behind the St. Louis Arch.

I read that this place is on the Top 10 list of Wine Bars. That would be fair if there were only 10 in town. The wine here is good, not great. Prices are good, but the food they serve is simple and the choices are pretty slim. The waitstaff is always the best part of this place. The biggest downer is the decor and atmosphere. It's very sterile 60's era white naugahyde. If you're in this neighborhood drive on to 28th and head to either Wine Down or Noble Rott. A better choice is the underrated Lupa on Mississippi. Or just wander to the Pearl and go to the best of the lot - Vino Paradiso. Pour has a nice owner and a good waitstaff but that's about it.

I had a great experience at Pour. I went there on a first date, and the first thing we noticed was the inviting atmosphere. Once you're inside, you don't even know Broadway is right out the door. The girl who helped us was helpful and knowledgeable. We didn't really know what to order, but, with help, were very happy with the wines we decided on. We also ordered the cheese plate, the ravioli and risotto and all were delicious. I don't what the music in the background was, but it was nice...the whole air of the place just allowed us to enjoy great wine and talk to each other.

We were visiting Portland for the weekend and heard that Pour was the place to go to taste and learn about Oregon Pinot Noirs. At first we thought we might be disappointed-- the whites we started with were only okay, and the female bartender was not helpful at best and downright rude at worst. Then, fortunately for us, the owner walked in. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, and served us some GREAT wines alongside a great trio of dips, incredible pepper raviolis, and an excellent cheese plate. Highly recommended!
