"Stepping into this spacious wine bar in the University Park area feels like entering a good friend’s house to split a bottle of wine and hang out, from the easy-going atmosphere to the living-room-in-a-corner lounge by the window, complete with a glowing fireplace and couch. That’s just what owners Fabrizio Barbagelata and Justin Sedor were going for at Living Room Wines: a comfortable, welcoming hub for the neighborhood to hang out and enjoy good wine. Affordability is another cornerstone, with attractively priced glass pours in the $10-$14 range and a build-your-own-flight option for $20. By-the-glass choices jump all over the wine world, including France and Pacific Northwest producers and retail shelves span the back and side walls for taking home new finds. The food is also fuss-free and fun, like French onion dip with potato chips, deviled eggs, and mortadella-raclette paninis." - Zoe Baillargeon, Alex Frane

"Partners Fabrizio Barbagelata and Justin Sedor want their new University Park wine bar to be a community hub. At Living Room Wines, everything is devised to be welcoming, from the business’s inviting name to the approachable price points and cozy vibe. The wine bar features a mid-century modern-inspired fireplace and a conversational oval-shaped bar. It offers a rotating list of 15 glass pours including options under $10. Patrons can build their own flight or have a custom flight crafted. The bar serves snacky plates like French onion dip and cheese from Cowbell. The retail section offers a selection of wines from Oregon and around the world." - Janey Wong

Every detail of the space is beautifully thought out. Comfy couches, fire place, chic bar area. Great wine selection (by the glass and bottle) and N/A options. The owners are welcoming and knowledgeable. My new favorite wine bar in Portland!

This space is beautiful and the new owner is a gem! Appropriately named as it’s as comfortable as sitting with friends in your own living room. Delicious food and sexy music make this a perfect date night! Welcome to the neighborhood! I’ll be back!

Absolutely a 100/10 intentional and elevated space. It definitely commands a certain respectful reciprocal energy which I really appreciate with gorgeous decor and perfect lighting 🫶🏽 insane wine selection and diverse pours. I really appreciate that they have food for a wine bar! The meat and cheese board was divine along with my Pinot noir from (fr?) and temperanillo 😋 just so yum and a sexy place!! Please visit and tell a friend 😌

A lovely new addition to North Portland! The service was so attentive, and the wine and light bites were fantastic and very fairly priced. We’ve been wanting to come here since opening and it was 100% worth it

The team here is very welcoming, the whole atmosphere is incredible. I’m so glad to have this in my neighborhood and urge those in St. John’s and surrounding areas to come in and say hi. You won’t be disappointed. They offer a good selection of regional and international wines. For those who may not be so into wines they offer a selection of beer, cider and CBD options. I’ll be returning often!!!

Loved how cozy and casual this spot was. We stopped in on a Sunday evening and there was live jazz. I also appreciate there’s a price point for every taste. We ended up bringing home a delicious red table wine from France that was $12. I saw they are hosting a queer speed dating night which definitely earned another star. We’ll be back.

I’m absolutely obsessed with Living Room Wines and thrilled to have discovered it during my recent trip to Portland. Their by-the-glass selection features incredible producers experimenting with unique styles—don’t miss the Hooray for You Merlot—all at very approachable prices. The wine store section is just as impressive, offering a diverse range of varietals to suit every taste and budget. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and offer excellent guidance, whether you're looking for a glass (or bottle) to have there or a bottle to take home. I’ll definitely be returning for advice on what to bring to Thanksgiving!

If you’re looking for: cozy yet sexy, relaxed yet upscale, a place to gather with friends yet also a place to get some work done - all with an amazing selection of delicious and interesting wines and yummy bites - look no further, and welcome to your new fav neighborhood wine bar! We came in for happy hour yesterday, and I already can’t wait to go back. We had a flight of wines (we asked the server to choose, and he had such a great descriptions of each one that made it fun and educational for us)! Also had the mulled wine and the meat and cheese board, both super tasty. Kid friendly til 6pm?!…Not that I’d choose to bring my kids here, but the option is always a nice touch. This one will definitely be in my regular rotation, and it should be in yours too.

What a fun place! I wish I lived closer but I traversed literally across town just to come visit and I'm glad I did. Staff? So nice. Food? The cauliflower bisque is AMAZING. Wines? Such a great variety and the prices are SO reasonable. My friend and I each did a flight and I got another glass and it was all such a good price for what we got. The flights are $20 each and you're practically getting a full glass for each. They're really generous pours. The space is big, cozy (especially if you're on the couch), and such a nice and inviting atmosphere. I look forward to my next visit when I'm on this side of town.

Living Room Wines is such a cool spot. It's the only wine bar in the area, and the vibe inside is just really nice, super chill but still "fancy". I got a wine flight for $20, which included three half-pours, and you can either pick your wines or let them choose for you if you're not sure what you like, which is awesome. They've got a great mix that of local wines and some from places like France and Spain, so there's a lot to explore. We didn't try the food, but they had a ton of options, which I thought was pretty cool. Overall, it's a great place to relax and enjoy some wine without spending a ton or having to leave North Portland.
