Perched atop the newly minted Hotel Eastlund, Altabira City Tavern brings modern flare to the dining experience in the Lloyd District.
A rooftop deck with views of downtown and the west hills adjoins the restaurant, owned by David Machado, the man originally behind Pazzo Ristorante, Southpark and Lauro Mediterranean Kitchen. Today, he owns the wildly popular happy hour spot Nel Centro at Hotel Modera as well as Citizen Baker, the cafe on Hotel Eastlund's ground level.
The Altabira City Tavern website boasts American cuisine, but recent dinner items offered international influence:
- Strozzapreti Pasta with Lamb Ragu, Pecorino Romano and Marjoram
- Braised Pork Shank with Butternut Squash and Chorizo Cassoulet
- Double R Ranch Ribeye Steak with Chimichurri and Hand Cut French Fries
There are 16 taps reserved for regional craft beer. Some recent offerings were:
- Crux Fermentation Project Pilsner

- Ninkasi Brewing Company Oktoberfest Festbier Lager
- Pelican Brewery Kiwanda Cream -- Cream Ale
- Occidental Brewing Company Hefeweizen
