The Nines Living Room
Downtown, Portland
Bar in Portland, United States
Why go
The Nines Living Room is a polished downtown Portland hotel lounge that works well for an easy meet-up, pre-dinner drink, or casual date. Treat it as a flexible lobby living room with food by Urban Farmer Restaurant, not as the main culinary event. The appeal is convenience, central location, low booking friction.
About The Nines Living Room
The public profile for The Nines Living Room in Portland is limited, so the safest read is direct: treat it as a Portland venue with a casual dress code, confirm any planning details directly before making it the center of your night.
Use The Nines Living Room as a possible Portland meeting point if casual dress is important, then check current details with the venue before you go.
A casual Portland option with limited planning details
The clearest confirmed detail for The Nines Living Room is its casual dress code. That makes it easier to consider for relaxed plans than venues that require more formal attire, but it does not confirm anything about the food, drinks, reservations, group setup, or seating arrangement.
If your evening depends on a specific experience, verify it first. For a dinner-focused plan, a drinks-led stop, a special-occasion meal, or a venue with a particular atmosphere, do not assume those details from the name alone. Compare The Nines Living Room with other Portland options based on the specific information you need for that night.
Use it as one Portland possibility, then choose the rest of the night around confirmed details
Readers building a broader Portland night can use our full Portland restaurants guide and our full Portland bars guide to decide whether The Nines Living Room fits the plan or whether another Portland venue is better suited to the occasion.
For a more specific comparison, consider confirmed alternatives such as Departure Restaurant + Lounge, Hamono Sushi, Oregon Wines On Broadway, Public Domain, or Midtown Bar Garden, depending on what kind of Portland outing you are planning.
The verdict: The Nines Living Room is easiest to recommend only on the basis that it is in Portland and has a casual dress code. If you need more than that, such as specific food, drinks, hours, seating, pricing, or reservation expectations, confirm those details directly before committing.

Bar context
How it compares in downtown Portland
Departure Restaurant + Lounge is the better choice when the night needs a higher-energy setting and more of a destination feel. The Nines Living Room is easier for a casual downtown meet-up, while Departure makes more sense for a planned evening where atmosphere is the point.
Public Domain and Oregon Wines On Broadway are stronger cross-shops when the drink program is the priority. Pick Public Domain for a more focused bar stop, Oregon Wines On Broadway for a wine-led plan, The Nines Living Room when hotel convenience and a calmer meeting point matter more than a specialist format.
Old 5th Avenue Food Cart Pod (REPLACED BY MIDTOWN BAR GARDEN) is the more casual, food-flexible alternative, while Hamono Sushi is the better move for a meal with a clearer dining focus. If the plan is loose, start at The Nines Living Room. If the plan is dinner-first, choose Hamono Sushi or build around the food cart option instead.
