Hospitality company Apicii announces the opening of Hearth & Vine, a New American restaurant and bar which debuted on April 2 in Portland’s historic Henry Weinhard Brewery building. Located in the Pearl District’s Brewery Blocks at NW 12th Avenue and West Burnside, Hearth & Vine is designed as a welcoming neighborhood gathering place centered on seasonal cooking, Pacific Northwest wines and beers, and warm, convivial hospitality.

The concept also introduces HW’s Malt & Hop House, a dedicated private event space, along with an outdoor patio slated to open later this spring.

A Seasonal Menu Rooted in the Pacific Northwest

Led by Executive Chef Brian Cooper and General Manager Brendon Martin, Hearth & Vine’s menu reflects a seasonal, ingredient-driven approach guided by classic technique. Drawing from the region’s farms, waters, and producers, the menu highlights ingredients such as Puget Sound Kumamoto and Olympia oysters, Hood River mushrooms, and products from Rogue Creamery and Tillamook, amongst others.

Offerings span a raw bar, shareable plates, handhelds, pasta, pizza, and composed entrées, alongside a selection of dishes available exclusively during happy hour.

A Wine Program Designed for Discovery

At the bar, Hearth & Vine offers a wine program built to encourage exploration. The list features more than 50 wines by the glass, including 24 available on tap, showcasing producers from the Willamette Valley and beyond. Guests are invited to sample and share with flexible formats designed for every kind of experience, including 2oz tastes, half carafes, and full bottles.

With over 30 bottles from the Pacific Northwest, guests will find both familiar and emerging selections, including Dobbes’ Grenache Blanc, Bryn Mawr Vineyard’s Pinot Blanc, Björnson Vineyard’s Gamay Noir, and J. Christopher’s Lunatique Rouge blend. The restaurant will also host rotating tastings and winemaker dinners throughout the year.

The bar program is supported by Front of House Manager Maureen Ott (WSET Level 2) and Event Manager Jennifer Ertler (Certified Sommelier, WSET Level 3), who bring deep knowledge of wine and hospitality to the guest experience. A curated selection of Pacific Northwest beers and non-alcoholic offerings complements the beverage program.

A Historic Space Reimagined

Hearth & Vine marks a new chapter for the Henry Weinhard Brewery building, a cornerstone of Portland’s brewing history that has remained largely dormant in recent years. The restaurant’s opening represents an early step in the building’s revitalization, bringing renewed energy to West Burnside and the surrounding neighborhood.

The project also incorporates local artistry, including a new mural in partnership with the Portland Street Art Alliance and custom hand-blown glass pendant lights by Portland artist Justin Parker, inspired by the organic veining of marble.

The adjacent HW’s Malt & Hop House offers a dedicated private event space accommodating up to 110 seated guests or 225 for standing receptions, designed for corporate gatherings, celebrations, and hosted events.

A Vision for the Space

“Hearth & Vine is our way of honoring the history of the Henry Weinhard Brewery while bringing a fresh, elevated perspective to the space,” says Tom Dillon, Restaurateur and Owner of Apicii in a statement. “We’ve created a restaurant, bar and event venue that feels warm, convivial and approachable – where Oregon’s incredible wines and the bounty of the Pacific Northwest are at the center of the experience.”

Hearth & Vine is open Wednesday through Sunday for lunch, dinner, and happy hour.
