This is an exquisite Portland venue for a special event. We were treated like royalty, and it was easy for everyone to relax and have a great time. My dinner was delicious, but it was the wine that stands out. That and the service- they are attentive, but unobtrusive, and the room has the best kind of urban-hip Portland kind of vibe. Just perfect for creating a magical evening.
Well call me excited to finally get to Coopers Hall. I had tried their wine at Nicholas Family Restaurant down off SE Grand. I have to say branding always catches me and to be honest I loved the branding on their bottles that Nicholas sells. On my first visit, I did the Cooper's Hall red flight. It was lovely. The only wine I didn't like was the Merlot, and I typically don't like them anyway. The atmosphere is very chill and classy, though you don't have to dress up it's casual. I love their concept of wines on tap, as their Cooper's Hall Red is very good and $11/glass but you can spend $3, buy a to-go bottle and spend $12 for a bottle of it! Then refill everytime you return. I came back last week for a girls night out and tried a build your own red flight. I liked 0/5 of the wines. So it's Cooper's Hall reds for me! I may try to sample the bubble flight next trip but I love the ambiance here.
Coopers Hall is a beautiful venue for weddings and gatherings, with its large open space, oak barrels lining the perimeter, lots of plants, and natural light. The large wooden tables with high stools or tables along a banquette provide lots of seating options in a very cool space. At night it's very dark with subtle light coming from the candles on the tables and strands of tiny white party lights above. Coopers Hall is not just for events, it's also a Taproom good for small group gatherings or couples. Friends of mine threw me a surprise celebration here when I received a milestone promotion. There were many options for tastings, flights of red or white wine, cider or beer, cocktails and full glasses of your favorite beverage as well. The food was fresh and delicious; everyone, especially me, enjoyed the celebration! Recently I went back with a friend, my first time back since Covid. We were there on a Tuesday night and for the majority of the evening, we were the only ones there. Not Coopers fault by any means, but it does affect the atmosphere when you don't have the talk and laughter from other patrons creating white noise and energy. For some reason it took some time for the waitress to ask for my drink order. I chose the red flight, four pours for $17. It included a Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Malbec and a Merlot which I'm not typically a fan of unless in a blend, but it wasn't bad. Really liked the Malbec from Rougue County so ordered a full glass afterwards so we could continue hanging out and enjoying conversation. Maybe it was an off night, but the service wasn't as friendly or responsive as I expected. When a place is busy, those working there have to hustle. On this night, since it was almost empty, they were hanging out with themselves and and didn't seem to realize we were there. Don't get me wrong, I will come back. I like the space and vibe, the wine and cider selection is good, and it's close to my house. They have a small parking lot and if you can, park there. Part of the street out front is now an outdoor dining area and the street behind is lined with tents and I don't feel comfortable parking my car there. So go early to score a spot in their lot. Hours are Tuesday through Friday, 4:00-9:00. Since they host private events, do check their website. Better yet, make a reservation so you know they are open.
Inner east side wine bar that also serves upscale bar food served mostly family style. A couple veggie options. The spring greens were surprisingly delicious and apparently their specialty and the cheeses were unique. My partner has the burger and enjoyed it. I got a wine flight and enjoyed that too. The taproom isn't open everyday and sometimes closed for special events. Overall, it was very good but very pricey for what it was. And I had to order extra dishes to fill up since they don't really have a vegetarian entree.
This is a wonderful venue for a wedding! For a friend's recent nuptials, Coopers Hall did a fantastic job. The large open space under the corrugated steel hangar roof was set up for the ceremony with 120 chairs in 10 rows. The tables were already set up with full silver, stemware and candles and pushed to the side. The rest of the winery was sectioned off behind a wall of rustic wooden barrels. The staff efficiently reconfigured for sit down dinner with 6 long tables (6x16=96) plus an additional 2 up in the mezzanine (+32) for a total of 128 guests. A dance floor area was also left open while the DJ set up in the corner. During the cocktail hour, the long bar was open while hors d'oeurves platters were floated out of the kitchen. The sitdown dinner reception was served family style in 6 courses and I'm glad for that because I got to try everything. Salad course was Arugula & Mustard Greens dressed with Oregon grapes, shaved fennel, walnuts & fig leaf grape vinaigrette. The first main course was Roasted Salmon with kohlrabi & apple remoulade and glazed radish. The second main course was a Rotisserie Chicken Chausseur with mushrooms & herbs, which was a very tasty, charred spring chicken cut into quarters. These were followed by a pasta course of orecchiette in a creamy mahon cheese sauce with squash, swiss chard & mushrooms. Finishing side courses were Fried Brussels Sprouts & Braised Carrots. Both vegetable dishes could have stood by themselves and the vegans at our table raved about them. Paired with dinner were Coopers' own vintages, a Cascade White and a Cabernet Sauvignon, both sweet and not too dry. It was a fun and pleasurable evening that the Coopers staff made all the more tasty and enjoyable!
My brother's wedding venue was Coopers Hall. I found out one of the reasons was the whole "all inclusive" thing. I dont know the details, but I heard, basically, everything was taken care of. The dinner, the location, dj drinks, snacks, staff, cutlery and tables and such, ... you know, All Inclusive... I started this review cuz the food was so freakin good! But, honestly, they pulled off an incredible wedding. I mean, everything and everyone was professional, clean, friendly, attentive... They had an open bar menu. So, as long as you ordered from that menu or any of their 'well spirits', its covered. On top of that, if you want a special drink, you can pay your own tab, and they'll make you whatever. I had an Angel's Envy Rye, and my wife had a G&T that she said was quite well made. Before the wedding, they had several staff with several kinds of appetizers in the "milling around portion. Plenty of surfaces, like wine barrels to place empty glasses, napkins, etc... and the staff were quick to spot anything that needed bussing. The staff also rearranged all the tables and chairs and such, so, when the wedding was over, all the chairs were removed, the tables were placed, and dinner was served. And my goodness... they did not skimp on the quality of the food... wow. They really outdid themselves. The trout with blackberries and corn... the pork... the raclette potatoes... Everything on the plate was amazing!! And there was plenty of it, too! (I was even able to take a small plate to-go. I didnt wanna waste it...) After dinner, they cleared the dancefloor and rugs were cut. Bravo!! A shining example of how to do a wedding!
A gorgeous space! I went here for a wedding and was stunned as soon as I walked in. The space gets incredible light and the barrels, strung lights, and hanging plants give it a rustic, sophisticated look. Just speaking towards the wedding catering but the dishes - chicories caesar, salmon with an amazing coconut curry sauce and grilled nectarines (wow!), roasted pork belly, and heirloom tomatoes were so delicious - I can't remember having a better wedding meal. Thank you Coopers Hall for this memorable experience! Can't wait to come back next time I'm in town.
Was looking for a great place on Yelp to stop by on our anniversary and we made a great pick with Cooper Hall. Decor was dope, staff was great, food was great, and the donuts are amazing. Great place to sit and sip wine, talk, and simply hang out. I recommend bringing your companion or that special someone here. The setting is real smooth, and again the staff was great. The free glasses of bubbly in honor of our anniversary was a great way to start our first visit here. Bartender was supreme, knowledgeable, and on point. We will be back and hope you will to...
Here for a conference and loved the place. Super cool ambience. Dinner was served and it was great - buffet style - but the bartender made me an old fashioned and let me tell you was I impressed ... it was delicious very comparable to the old fashioned served at The Brown in Kentucky. Yet again I failed to get his name but he was tall and slender . Let me say a couple people tasted my drink and proceeded to order the same and even funnier was that we saw many more ordering the same! Cool vibes
We hosted our wedding here in August 2022. It was a dream. The CH team was amazing to work with. Jane, our day of coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. She made sure everything ran smoothly and that we didn't have to lift a finger. The food and drinks were amazing and had so many options to customize. Food was served family style and it was classy yet comfortable. I would recommend Coopers Hall to anyone getting married!! Photos courtesy of Michaela Elena Photography!
This place is awesome!! From the atmosphere to the wine to the food. My friends wanted to try this place out and see what the rave was all about. First of all, the decor is fairly minimal, but works really well. I really like how it feels like you ate eating inside a warehouse...but not really. Second, the food was amazing. We ordered the whole chicken, braised short rib, fries, fried brussel sprouts, and the caesar salad. The whole chicken was a good idea for the three of us to split. The braised short rib was cooked perfectly and melts in your mouth. The caesar salad had this amazing smoked dressing that gave it a taste that I haven't experienced before. It was money! Third, our server Maegan was on point with serving and suggesting certain wines to try out. She made us feel welcomed and definitely enhanced our experience.
My wife and I stopped in for happy hour, and had a wonderful time. I see lots of reviews from people who attended, or hosted events here, and it was pretty clear that the space would be a wonderful location for potentially large groups. But, it is also terrific for two people to stop in and enjoy drinks and a menu designed to go with them. One of us had a cocktail (a rum-based delight called Hotel Nacional, which brought back pleasant memories of the namesake in Havana), the other had wine (exclusively served on tap), and we shared a really nice cheese plate. The cheese did not come with the detailed history that you might get at Cheese Bar, but service was excellent - friendly, informative, attentive but never hovering - just what I always hope for. This is a lovely spot for relaxing with friends, no matter if it's one, or a large group.
Cool place! Came here for an event with 150 or some people from a conference. The wine on tap was all really tasty and the staff was really friendly about letting us try samples to decide which one we wanted. Food was great, served family style which isn't my favorite. But with this many people it seemed to work. Everything was really tasty. I liked the atmosphere with all the hanging plants, high ceilings and wine barrels. Great venue for an event.
10/10 wedding venue! I'll tell you what our wedding planner told us: "1. They have the BEST food. 2. If you are the kind of couple that doesn't want to make a lot of decisions Coopers Hall is definitely the place for you if you are very particular about what you want then Coopers Hall might not be the place for you." Personally, as a bride experiencing decision fatigue, Coopers Hall was a godsend. Tables, chairs, napkins, dishes, serving style etc. is already planned. I only had to decide how I wanted them to fold the napkins instead of deciding what rental chairs I wanted to get and what serving style I wanted, and how many servers I needed and what dishes and cups I wanted, all of those decisions were already done, which was great. Coopers Hall is a gorgeous location and they set the tables beautifully and do an excellent job serving guests. They just are such prop at hosting weddings. OK and the food, the food was amazing. I am someone who cares deeply about the quality of food and this place did not disappoint. You benefit from having everything made fresh in the kitchen instead of it being catered and rubbery or mushy by the time people eat it at other venues. The chef is incredible, and has really perfected some fantastic dishes. My guests are still talking about the bang bang cauliflower. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a one stop shop wedding venue. read more

We went to an evening event at Cooper's Hall. There were about 200 people in attendance at a fully catered event. The hall is suitable for medium to large groups and a perfect venue for weddings, banquets, corporate engagements, and other types of activities. It's a beautiful modern space and it will meet any need you can imagine. I don't know the details of the cost, but that would be an easy website/Google search. check out Cooper's Hall. read more

I visited Portland during COVID and had the great opportunity of trying one of their wines from St. Jacks. I loved it! It's the Cascadia white. It's dry and crisp and finished clean. I'm in love with this wine. So I called, to see if I could order a case. Not only was I able to order a case but they also delivered it to me! White glove service! If I lived here I'd be a regular for their growler fills. Thanks a million for the great service! read more

Hello Jill. We are so glad you enjoyed our wine so much you sought…
I went here January 2nd, and it was a great night because it was empty! I guess everyone had started their "diets." I arrived at 6:15 and was immediately seated. Our waitress was just delightful and oh so helpful, especially when it came to picking a glass of wine. I ordered their Tempernillo and it was great! My dining companion enjoyed his Malbec. We ordered a cheese plate to share. For dinner, I got the branzino and he ordered the buckwheat speatzel. WOW! This was some of the best fish I have ever ordered at a restaurant, and it came from a wine bar, who knew?! It was accompanied by roasted delicate quash and Brussels sprouts, all lightly covered in a beure blanc sauce. The amount of fish you received was quite generous too. He enjoyed his choice, but he said I definitely picked the more delicious one. Please put Coopers Hall not only on your wine bar list but also your restaurant list. They really show they care about wine AND food quality. read more

Wine on tap? Seems weird, but it's actually a great idea. Being Portland and all, they've managed to save quite a few hundred thousand bottles by providing wine to people this way (as their sign inside shows). Cool interior, mixes with the original industrial building, while maintaining a "Portland" style industrial modern with all the plants and lights strung around from the ceiling. Plenty of bench seating, bar seating, and even upstairs seating. Food was pretty decent, got the salmon croquet balls and the charcuterie plate that went ok with the couple glasses of house Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. I will say however, I was a little bit disappointed in the house wines as they lacked the full bodied flavor of most reds I've become accustomed to drinking. However, my friends ordered a house white, that was actually pretty decent. One nice thing is that you can order wine sizes in a taster size, glass size, or even by the bottle. All in all, if you're looking for a social place with decent food and a cool ambience come here! If you're a wine snob, this place may not be the best for you (depends on what you like, though). read more
I was here for a going away party with a large group. It took over an hour for the server to ask if we were ready to order after multiple people had already told her earlier that we were ready. I ordered the salmon with green beans and cherries. It was the smallest piece of salmon I've ever ordered and came with only 2 cherries! Everyone else who had the salmon complained about the portion size as well. The salmon was cooked perfectly and had good flavor. The green beans had way too much butter. Unfortunately all of us left hungry and ready to go eat somewhere else! read more

We had our wedding at Coopers Hall and I can not say enough amazing things about the experience of working with them. From how incredible the food was (guests were telling us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had) to the custom drinks, to the kind and attentive service, to all of the support while planning, and of course the beautiful space. Coopers Hall created our dream wedding. read more

Service - Good and attentive. Recommendations were helpful. Interior - Beautiful, gorgeous, and exactly what I would think if someone wanted a stereotypical classy yet hipster wine bar in Portland to be like. Food - Each dish we ordered tasted like they spilled a container of salt into it, and tried to use more salt to cover it up. Fried Cauliflower - Too much salty seasoning. It looked like someone spilled pile of seasoning into our dish. The cauliflower was hot, wholesome, soft, and comforting. Lamb Shank - Salty, savory pile of lamb goop mushed into another pile of even saltier mashed potatoes. It was an expensive bowl of salty goop. Smoked Duck Breast - The only non-salty item and the best! A giant thick slice of cold duck ham must be eaten with the thinly sliced radish and a glaze of butter underneath. This strange combination was on point. read more

Definitely one of my favorite spots on our whirlwind trip to Portland. It's only been opened for 3 weeks and I can totally foresee this place with much success. Located in an up-and-coming neighborhood for the food and wine industry, Coopers Hall boasts 44 varieties of wine, beer, and cider from all over the Pacific Northwest. They also make a few of the wine in house in kegs - the Applegate Red being my favorite in house made. I tend to like peppery and spicy notes in my wine, so I had our server pick out his 5 favorites. His choices were the following: #3 - Applegate Red - Coopers Hall - very easy to drink #8 - Gamay Noir - Division Winemaking - not exactly my favorite, but worth the taste #14 - Tempranillo - Grochau Cellars #16 - Syrah - Helioterra - I never drink syrahs because it's usually too tannin-y for me. But this syrah was simply amazing. I could drink this all day, everyday. #19 - Zinfandel et al - Domaine Pouillon - decent He also threw in the Malbec - Terra Rossa - and the Cab Franc/Merlot - Quady North as extras for us. Tastings are 2 oz pours that range from $3-$5 and full pours from $6-$13. I loved this experience because it gave us the opportunity to try wine from all over the Northwest in one sitting. After about 12 tastings between my friend and I and two full pours all to myself, I was quite happy and slightly woozy. The food also smelled amazing - I kept peepin' over at our neighbors.. I probably looked like a drunk and hungry child. Overall, great for large groups; impeccable service; and very decently priced. Highly recommended! read more

My husband and I got married in August 2018 at Coopers Hall, and highly recommend that anyone looking to host an event strongly consider Coopers Hall for all of your needs! We will break this review down into three categories: the venue, the food/wine, and the staff. (Apologies for the length of this review!) VENUE Planning a 125-person wedding from another state can be very stressful! We wanted a space that would not require too many additional decorations and that was expansive enough to host both the ceremony and reception without feeling overwhelmed with additional space. After what felt like weeks of searching, we happened to come across Coopers Hall from a family member's referral. We were immediately obsessed with the hanging plants, floor-to-ceiling walls, walls of rustic wood barrels, and the strung bistro lights. We booked the space without ever even walking in because we were confident we would love it. And we couldn't be happier with our choice! When we were finally able to see the venue in person, we were thrilled that the pictures really did showcase the beauty of the venue. The venue is in an industrial building that used to be an auto-body repair shop. From the mezzanine level, you can really appreciate the unique features: the vats of wine (we learned these are called Coopers, hence the name!), the twinkly lights sprawled across the dining space, and the beautiful light that seeps in through the large windows on the garage-style doors. When it came time to decide the floor plan for our wedding, we had a tough time choosing which corner of the venue to highlight because we loved so many angles! FOOD/WINE Portland locals visit Coopers Hall on rare nights when the venue is not booked for an event to enjoy the delicious food and wine. That is how you know that Coopers Hall is doing food and beverage right! To pick our wedding food and wine, the venue hosted a special dinner at which we were able to try all of the wines and sample the seasonal menu. It was incredible- we tried 7 different wines and sampled several appetizers, salads, main courses and desserts. We left very full and excited for our guests to get to eat our menu. Insider scoop: get the mac and cheese. Just do it. We still have guests raving about it! Drool. And the wine! We had many wine lovers agree that the wine poured was of high quality and easy to drink throughout the night. Joel, the wine director, learned that we wanted some sparkling wine to serve at the wedding and special ordered us two cases of the most delicious rose sparking wine from France- it was gone before dinner was served! STAFF If you are perusing other venues in Portland, you may come across other spaces that compete with the venue, food and wine aspects of Coopers Hall. But what cannot possibly be paralleled is the staff. When you book an event at Coopers Hall, Shannan, the Events Director, whisks you away into her magical world of events-planning expertise. From the minute you book a contract, you can hand over all the reigns and just coast through planning. She handles every single detail with such ease and talent. She is a guru and will make you actually enjoy wedding planning! And this is saying a lot, considering my husband works in events at a major hotel company. We were extremely impressed with how knowledgeable Shannan is about planning and executing events, her efficiency to get tasks done, her incredible responsiveness (an absolute must for planning any event, especially one from out-of-state), and her devotion to her job. She also ensured we stayed on budget! The day of the wedding, she put out fires that I didn't even know existed, she made sure that my husband and I got our own special bottle of the coveted sparkling wine, and she even rescued me from a red-wine spill on my wedding dress by personally dabbing with water and her own Tide pen! She is absolutely the best. In addition to Shannan, we were floored by the sweetness of Mae, our Day-of-Coordinator, who helped make sure that everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding and kept us informed of the timeline as events occurred so that we didn't get behind schedule. Lastly, we want to thank and highlight the incredible wait staff at Coopers Hall! During the dinner service, our wine glasses were filled and guests' needs managed expertly by the servers. But perhaps the staff member who stood out the most to my husband and me was Blake, the exceptionally friendly bartender who would spot us from a mile away, always ready to make sure our glasses were full. He even kept my drink safe (have I mentioned how much I loved my sparkling wine!) while we went to cut the cake. Top-notch service! Perhaps this review was way too long for you to handle (sorry!), but we just needed to get across how highly we recommend you consider Coopers Hall for any event needs. The venue, food, wine and people will make your evening unforgettable, just as ours was! read more
NUMBER ONE REGRET: I DIDN'T GET THE WHOLE CHICKEN. Yes, they have a whole chicken that you can order here. I really wish we got it with our wine flight. I don't care how big or small the chicken is...I just want to be able to say we ordered and ate it! The atmosphere here is very clean, chic, minimalistic. I love it! I love their wine flights. My friend and I each ordered a flight and was able to try a lot of different types of wine! I loved all the dark red, she loved the lighter white wine. Great variety! I would love to come here again and order the whole chicken with a wine flight. read more
