William Oben of Cru & Domaine Aims to Open Another Concept, Fancy Baby

According to a recent article from Bridgetown Bites , Fancy Baby plans to debut in the Pearl District area at 1204 NW Glisan Street.

A representative of Fancy Baby was not immediately available to comment upon What Now Portland’s request.

While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, according to the article and Fancy Baby’s Instagram biography , Fancy Baby will be “A Japanese inspired listening bar with the craziest champagne list in the heart of the Pearl District in Portland.”

The article adds “This location on NW Glisan used to be home to CULT, a store that sold art, collectibles, ephemera, and more. I reached out to William Oben, the founder of Fancy Baby, but have not heard back from him.”

“Oben is and has been involved with a number of wine-focused businesses in Portland, including Cru & Domaine (a curated wine shop and online store), OWC Fine Wine Distribution (wine distributors), Park Avenue Fine Wines (wine store and bar, now closed), Proof Wine & Spirits (a store selling wine, beer, and spirits), all based in Portland’s west side.”

“Oben and his team describe Fancy Baby further with their intentions for the place: “We are a destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life: a perfect blend of world-class Champagne, a diverse and well-curated wine program, and curated music that sets the mood.”
