Inside is dark and cozy, perfect for a rainy afternoon or evening. My only complaint is there is a lot of wood and all the hard surfaces don't reflect noise so it's sometimes challenging to hear. They have a wonderful assortment of wines and not all local. For me, that's a good thing. Yes I love a Willamette Valley Pinot or a Washington Cabernet, but I get a lot of those when I'm visiting these areas, which I do frequently. At Muse you can enjoy a red from France, Spain, Italy, as well as local. Lots of whites and some bubbles, too. You can do a tasting of three half glass pours of your choice, or order a glass. Some nights they have tastings that they have preselected. Last night, based on Alex's recommendation, after telling him my preferences, I had the 2021 Crozes-Hermitage from Paris. It was a bigger red, but so smooth. Next I went with the Rioja Gran Reserva which was more fruit forward. Another winner. Their cheese and jam plates are fabulous, the cheese especially delicious, and pair perfectly with the wines. Have a feeling I'll be back frequently to this charming neighborhood wine since my friend works out next door, so it's a perfect meeting spot.

Amazing recommendations from the staff, as well. They know their wines! Just describe your favorite taste or feeling. No need to know wine lingo for them to know exactly what you want.

They didn't have it, but they were able to order it for me. It was at the shop for pickup within 2 days! So, while this shop is on the smaller side, if you plan a bit ahead of time it's likely they can get you the bottle you need if there is a local distributor. In addition to wine, they also have a nice selection of liquor. I keep coming back for the Son of Man cider vermouth. They have craft beer and cider too.They have a number of pre-chilled items for same night consumption. I am looking forward to when we can freely drink at bars again and I can hang out and have a glass of wine in person!

I order 4 half glasses and everything paired perfectly with the food. I came here on Sunday ($2 per oyster) and the wines were excellent and the food surprisingly good. MUST GET: - oyster with champagne from romaine guiborat. - hamachi crudo - roasted maitake paired with local orange (Buona Notte mortadella from Columbia George in Washington). Maitake was served with pinenut and rice crumble, which was delightful. I put the sauce with hamachi crudo in the roasted maitake and it elevated the taste. It can use a bit more balsamic vignegrette or lemon juice to elevate the mushroom taste even more. - dessert wine (2021 romaine ogereau, chenin blanc) was delightful. Very balanced. Subtle sweetness with perfect balance of citrus notes. A bit of apricot on the nose. A fine ending to the delightful dinner. Solid: Spaghetti with morel. Paired with 2023 Bruno verdi from oltrepo pavese Italy. I really liked the pecorino cheese that tempered the salty-ness of the spaghetti. I think the food would be better with a bit less oil. The spaghetti almost reminded me of the Asian noodles vs traditional spaghetti.

This place is a little hidden, no major signage, seems like a run down hole in the wall but that's it's charm. They have red, white, and bubbles, and you get whatever they have open that night. Initially I was skeptical but they only serve older/aged Bourdeauxs here. The bottle we had was phenomenal - one of the best bourdeauxs I have ever had. They clearly really know their wine. Each glass will cost you about $12 because if you bought the bottle we had it would have been about $50 to purchase on the street so $12 was a great price. They also bring some pistachios to your table. The ambiance and decor were really neat and just unlike any pretentious wine bar I have ever been to- and far more enjoyable. The bartender was very friendly and engaged in conversation and very knowledgeable about the wine selection. I would love to visit again the next time I'm in Portland.

I love bars that are in a house. This iteration is perfect with its slightly gothic decor and a drink served in a dolls head shaped ceramic bowl/glass. The bartender was friendly, efficient and crafty. At some point they ran out of the pre-batched espresso martini and was making them from scratch to many compliments. The sandwich: amazing. Everything is vegan but there is nothing lacking. I got the cold Italian sub and it was what every sandwich should aspire to be with perfectly dressed, cold and crispy lettuce and pickles in between and assortment of "salami". The sandwich was plenty to share or for a very filling meal. I am still thinking about this sandwich. I wish I lived closer as it would be a regular spot!
