"The signature bar snack (or as the menu playfully puts it, "snak") here is Sinclair's riff on Chex Mix, which incorporates crunchy ramen noodles, almonds, and spicy-oily Sichuan chile crisp ($12). You'd be remiss not to order some of Sinclair's fluffy focaccia. I had it as part of the Rosemary's Other Baby plate, which came with a rosemary-laced tomato jam that the owner thriftily imparts added flavor from the bar's wine."
"It's a wine bar after all, so you'll want to grab a glass ($12 to $18 on my visit) or a bottle of something off the list. It reflects a good mix of Oregon and Washington wines, with some California and Europe selections thrown in, and even a few nonalcoholic options. The tasting notes here are a delight to read: "Tastes like you have a house filled with many leather-bound books"; "Like the sun peeking out after it rains"."
"Located on this busy corridor, the Fates can be easy to miss. Inside, find an artsy-eclectic meets dark academia aesthetic, complete with a wall of bottles, a library ladder, and a grungy soundtrack. Everything here is vegetarian."
Fates Bread and Bottle Co., opened by Phoenix photographer Chanelle Sinclair in Portland's Sellwood-Moreland area in 2024, combines a wine bar, bottleshop, and bakery. The establishment recently expanded its cocktail offerings through a partnership with Charley Pinck. Signature offerings include a Chex Mix variation with ramen noodles, almonds, and Sichuan chile crisp, and fluffy focaccia served with rosemary-tomato jam made with wine from the bar. The wine selection features Oregon and Washington options alongside California and European choices, with creative tasting notes. The venue features an artsy-eclectic aesthetic with dark academia elements, including bottle displays and library ladders. All menu items are vegetarian, and the space offers cozy seating by windows and lounge areas.
