SMALL, BUT MIGHTY

Welcome to Bantam Tavern

Bantam Tavern is more than just a bar — it’s a reflection of the community we love. Nestled in the heart of Northwest Portland, we serve up bold, chef-driven bar food with a fresh, seasonal twist you won’t find anywhere else in the city. From where we source our bread, to where our zucchini is grown, or the wines we select, we’re deeply committed to supporting local farms, makers, and small businesses that give you a sense of time and place when you visit us.

Our menu may be rooted in classic bar fare, but it’s elevated with thoughtful technique, vibrant ingredients, and an ever-changing seasonal focus. Behind the bar, you’ll find an outstanding cocktail program that celebrates the seasons, handcrafted to complement both the food and your mood.

Our taps feature a rotating selection of outstanding craft beers, with a strong focus on local and independent breweries. We showcase wines from some of the region’s best small producers, with an emphasis on character, balance, and sustainability.

Our spirit selection is carefully curated to reflect both quality and diversity — from small-batch distilleries to iconic labels — offering the perfect foundation for our seasonal cocktails or your favorite classic pour.

Whether you’re a beer nerd, wine lover, or cocktail enthusiast, there’s always something worth discovering at the bar.

Open daily from 4 PM to 1 AM, Bantam is a place where neighbors, artists, hospitality workers and night owls gather over good food, strong drinks, and real conversation. We cook with intention. We pour with purpose. And we believe in taking care of the people around us starting with our own backyard.

Minors allowed before 10 p.m.

Our patio is dog friendly, for friendly dogs on leashes.
