About Noble Rot
The Spotlight on Noble Rot

Skyline Views and Seasonal Bites in the Heart of Portland

Perched on the fourth floor overlooking Portland’s East Burnside, Noble Rot combines locally sourced American cuisine with unbeatable rooftop views. This stylish but relaxed spot is known for its rotating seasonal menu, curated wine list, and its very own rooftop garden—yes, much of the produce comes straight from above your head. With a cozy dining room and a covered patio that delivers skyline views rain or shine, it offers a distinctly Portland vibe that’s both elevated and approachable.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just minutes from downtown music venues and a quick ride to the Moda Center, Noble Rot makes a great pre-show stop. Service is prompt without feeling rushed, making it easy to enjoy a full meal or just a glass of wine with small bites before heading out. The noise level is moderate, so you can chat about setlists or opening acts without shouting. And with Portland’s skyline as your backdrop, it’s hard to find a more scenic way to kick off your night.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a lively but comfortable pre-show hangout
  • Solo travelers who want great food with a view at the bar
  • Couples planning a romantic concert date
  • Fans eager to soak in Portland vibes before the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value-packed happy hour options

What People Say

Reviewers love Noble Rot’s farm-to-table freshness and its unique rooftop garden. The wine list earns consistent praise, as does the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Guests often mention the laid-back atmosphere and how the views add that extra touch to the experience. Many recommend arriving early for a seat on the patio around sunset—perfect timing before a nighttime concert.

Areas for Improvement

The menu, while delicious, is on the smaller side—so if you're looking for extensive options, you might find it limited. Also, parking can be tricky around East Burnside during peak hours, so rideshares may be your best bet on concert nights.

With rooftop views, seasonal eats, and a prime location, Noble Rot is a winning pre-show stop for concert-goers wanting a true taste of Portland.
