  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for business meals
Located across from Director’s Park in the Paramount Hotel, this dual concept engages all the regions of the palate. Taylor Street Tavern polishes the ruggedly natural aspects of the Pacific Northwest into precisely crafted plates for daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings. Locally sourced ingredients also make an appearance in the house crafted cocktails and west coast wine selections.

Just across the lobby, Swine Moonshine and Whiskey Bar explores the history of the American whiskey tradition, complete with a reclaimed authentic still and extensive whiskey list. Early and late happy hours keep people sipping all night long.

    Taylor Street Tavern is a go to dinner spot when attending an event at the Schnitz. Leif was an excellent guide to selecting our dinner. We were very pleased that sharing a meal was not a problem and the staff were very gracious to split and serve us each our portion. Oh! Did I mention the Affrogato? Yum😋

    Food was very good, service was a little slow even though we mentioned having show tickets. Interestingly, we got there at 6pm on a Saturday night and we had three things that we ordered and were told that they were out of those items (part of the one star reduction). I can understand being out of things at the end of the night or end of the weekend, but early on a Friday, with peak dining hours to come…you start your weekend out of non-speciality items?

    Taylor Street Tavern is a very nice room architecturally. The service is excellent. The cuisine and prices are reasonable. A great place to eat before a movie or event at the Schnitzer.
