Red Star Tavern and Roast House

With a nod to the Red Star’s history and an eye to its future, the completed renovation maintains the building’s historic foundation while incorporating modern design elements as a way of expressing the established restaurant’s pioneering spirit – imagine Old West meets contemporary American design. Bold brick columns and antiqued glass light fixtures blend with modern taupe leather booths, which are crowned by an impressively large bourbon mural from local artist Ian Momsen. The glow from the rotisserie and wood-burning oven warms the open dining room, creating an inspired and intimate space.

In addition to the re-design, Executive Chef Tom Dunklin unveils his new fall menus. This interplay between the past and future unfolds on Dunklin’s menus, featuring New American cuisine that pays homage to the American culinary spirit. A broad selection of roasted meats and heirloom vegetables anchor the dinner menu, while a new 5-course seasonal tasting menu showcases Oregon’s culinary abundance by focusing on locally-sourced produce used in a variety of contemporary American dishes.

The bold flavors in Dunklin’s menu find their match in the tavern’s unique beverage program, with pairing options that range from a northwest wine list, to local craft beer taps and a creative cocktail menu – not to mention Oregon’s largest bourbon wall.
