Bullard Tavern

Bullard Tavern, or simply Bullard, is a restaurant in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Description and history

Doug Adams' plans to open Bullard in downtown Portland's Woodlark Hotel were announced in 2016. The restaurant, named after his hometown in East Texas, opened in December 2018. Brooke Jackson-Glidden of Eater Portland described Bullard as "a meat restaurant, with some vegetables, a handful of fish dishes, but overarchingly, tons of methodically selected cuts of local beef, pork, and lamb". The restaurant began serving brunch in 2019. Zoi Antonitsas completed a summer residency at Bullard Tavern in 2023.
