About

Bar: Full bar

Stem Cafe & Wine Bar is open daily from noon, making it a perfect spot for an afternoon glass of wine or an early dinner. This LGBTQ+-owned and women-led venue pairs a curated wine list with a Vietnamese menu from Friendship Kitchen, which earned a 'best Vietnamese' nod from Willamette Week. The patio offers a relaxed setting for people-watching in Northeast Portland.

Inside, the vibe is casual but polished, drawing a mix of locals in their 20s to 40s. Happy hour runs daily, and they offer in-house delivery and takeout. The bar is dog-friendly, so you might see a few pups lounging on the patio.
