Pine Street Market is an award-winning, culinary-themed marketplace and food hall housed in the historic Carriage & Baggage Building in the downtown Market District of Portland, Oregon. Eight of the city's best chefs and purveyors, all under one roof.
Doors opened in the spring of 2016 inside a Doug Fir timber-frame building first raised in 1886. Today the Market offers a variety of dining options, craft beers, and signature cocktails in a casual, open layout that's perfect for lunch, happy hour, and dinner.
What's now Pine Street Market began as a question Portland kept asking itself: how do you bring an entire neighborhood back to life without losing the bones that made it worth saving? The answer took the shape of a food hall — one that put the city's best independent operators side by side rather than behind brand-name signage.
The result is a room that hums from open to close. Tourists and downtown regulars share long communal tables. The taproom anchors the middle of the floor. The smell of fresh ramen broth meets the steam off a tray of dumplings two stalls down. It's a working market — busy, sometimes chaotic, always real — exactly the way a market should feel.
We're proud of the building, prouder of the chefs, and most proud that on any given evening you can walk in alone and leave with three new favorite dishes.
"Pine Street Market's ongoing success shows how thoughtful design pursued by locals with stakes in Portland's future can breathe new life into an entire neighborhood."
From its opening year, the Market was recognized for both its restoration of a historic Portland building and its commitment to energy performance.
One of the few surviving examples of a Portland livery, with its massive Doug Fir timber frame retrofitted to modern seismic requirements and the original skylight intact at the roof.
Built in 1886 as a livery and horse-drawn carriage storage facility. Horse stalls filled the second floor, and four massive tanks on the roof supplied water to wash them down. The building was essentially a horse and carriage parking garage for the city.
When the automobile replaced the horse-drawn carriage, the building turned over to a new tenant: Mallory Logging and Contractors Supplies. It served as storage and retail for the company for decades.
For a little over a decade, the building was home to the very first Portland's Old Spaghetti Factory — the start of a chain that would eventually reach across the country, all of it beginning on this corner.
From the early '80s onward, the ground floor housed a string of infamous Portland nightclubs — venues that left their own mark on the neighborhood before the next chapter began.
The doors opened in spring 2016 with a curated lineup of independent chefs and purveyors. The original Doug Fir timber frame stayed. So did the skylight. Everything else was reimagined for a new kind of room — one built around the food and the people who'd come to share it.
We chose preservation over demolition. The 1886 timber frame and the original roof skylight remain — every dish served here is served beneath them.
Every vendor here is an independent operator. No chains, no franchises — just small Portland businesses sharing a floor and a kitchen line.
Open layout, communal tables, a taproom anchoring the middle. The Market is designed to be a gathering place first, and a meal second.
Find us on the corner of SW 2nd Avenue and Pine Street, a short walk from the waterfront and a few blocks from the Pearl. The door is open daily from 11am to 9pm.
