Red Star Tavern

• The Definition of Local Flavor

Since opening its doors in the heart of downtown Portland, the Red Star Tavern & Roast House has treated world travelers and devout regulars to the spirit of the region. That can include literal spirits, like our famous collection of bourbons, scotches and whiskeys, a staff that is genuinely glad to see you, and memorable cuisine that adds a northwest twist to American traditions. Much like Portland itself.

• Get Comfortable

Ideally located near Pioneer Square, adjacent to the Hotel Monaco, and not far from where Portlanders get off work, Red Star welcomes folks with a good reason to enjoy themselves. The historic building delivers the timeless ambiance of a true tavern to a contemporary mix of customers. Since introducing a Happy Hour that stretches from 4 — 8 p.m., The Red Star has been the place to meet and unwind. Whether you prefer lively socializing, or sinking into a booth for private conversation, we're here to make you comfortable.

• Meet Chef Kyle

Executive Chef Kyle Rourke took awhile to reach Portland, making stops in Philly, the Jersey Shore and San Diego before bringing his culinary skills and fun-loving attitude to the Northwest. Now he considers himself a local, and you'll find it in the food he serves up: creative interpretations of comfort food favorites, seasonal menus highlighting regional cuisine, and produce purchased as close to Portland as you can get. And his vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dishes aren't just options, their pretty remarkable all by themselves.
