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." [4] The menu includes burgers, [5] 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. [6] Specials have included cheeses and chicken sandwiches. [7] Drink options include beer and cocktails such as an Aperol spritz slush, banana daiquiris, Blue Hawaiians, margaritas, [8] and vodka lemonades. [9]

History

TST operates in the space that previously housed Duckett's Public House and later Pop Tavern. [10]

Reception

Katherine Chew Hamilton, Margaret Seiler, and Matthew Trueherz included TST in Portland Monthly's 2023 list of the city's ten best bars. [3] In 2024, Michel Russell included TST in The Oregonian 's list of Portland's best restaurants. [11] He also called the business the city's best burger bar. [12] In Bon Appétit 's 2024 overview of recommended restaurants in Portland, Jordan Michelman said TST "feels reminiscent of Old Portland'". [4] TST was also included in The New York Times 's 2024 list of Portland's 25 best restaurants. [13] Thom Hilton included TST in Eater Portland 's 2024 list of the city's best establishments for late-night dining. [6] 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." [7]
