Bar Nina

Bar Nina is an underground wine bar at 1719 NE Alberta Street in Portland, Oregon. Bar Nina is owned by the winemakers behind Ovum Wines and Big Salt, Ksenija Kostic House and John House. Accessed down an alley and a flight of stairs, Bar Nina sits in a 100+ year-old basement that was once the boiler room of the original Victoria Theater, a cultural center of Portland’s Alberta Arts District.

The wine list at Bar Nina features wines that inspire the winemaking at Ovum Wines. The list at Bar Nina leans into the classic—with wines Chablis, Sancerre, Chianti, Champagne, etc.

In the summer, Bar Nina opens its sister bar, Big Salt Bar—named after the sensationally popular wine, Big Salt.
