Tulip Shop Tavern is a restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[1]

Description

The restaurant and bar Tulip Shop Tavern (TST) operates on Killingsworth Street, in the north Portland part of the Humboldt neighborhood, and has a back patio.[2] Portland Monthly has described TST as "ostensibly a rough-and-tumble, dive-y 'tavern,' but really a world built atop thousands of scrupulously attended details".[3] Bon Appétit said of the clientele: "Most everyone here looks like they might play in a metal band or work part-time at a bike shop." The menu includes burgers,[4] pork schnitzel, pickle-brined fried chicken, and Alaskan cod sandwiches, all using Dos Hermanos milk buns. TST also has beer-battered onion rings and French fries served with sauces made in-house including curry ketchup and Alabama white barbecue.[5] Specials have included cheeses and chicken sandwiches.[6] Drink options include beer and cocktails such as an Aperol spritz slush, banana daiquiris, Blue Hawaiians, margaritas,[7] and vodka lemonades.[8]

History

TST operates in the space that previously housed Duckett's Public House and later Pop Tavern.[9]

Reception

Katherine Chew Hamilton, Margaret Seiler, and Matthew Trueherz included TST in Portland Monthly 2023 list of the city's ten best bars. In 2024, Michel Russell included TST in The Oregonian list of Portland's best restaurants.[10] He also called the business the city's best burger bar.[11] In Bon Appétit 2024 overview of recommended restaurants in Portland, Jordan Michelman said TST "feels reminiscent of Old Portland'".[12] TST was also included in The New York Times 2024 list of Portland's 25 best restaurants.[13] Thom Hilton included TST in Eater Portland 2024 list of the city's best establishments for late-night dining. In the website's 2024 list of the fifteen best eateries along Killingsworth, Nathan Williams wrote, "Bartenders serve both unpretentious-yet-inventive cocktails and dealer's choice shots, the beer list has plenty of nerdy picks but also domestic tall boys, and the kitchen churns out classic-but-well executed Americana like tavern burgers and wedge salads."
