North Fork is a northwest outdoor-inspired restaurant focused on ingredients from local farms and Oregon suppliers. From the reclaimed fir that makes up our bar to the garnishes in our cocktails, sourcing our products locally provides our guests with a high quality farm-to-fork experience. Our Oregon grassfed beef, wild seafood from Oregon’s rivers and coast, award-winning Oregon beers and a small vineyard wine list are just a few ways we honor the bounty Oregon has to offer. Our goal is to be the go-to restaurant for anyone wanting to experience the flavors and beauty of Oregon, and where locals want to belly up.

On May 1st, 2024 we re-opened our doors under new ownership by Urban Restaurant Group, a locally owned restaurant group by husband and wife; Mark and Carla Byrum. Our name might have changed from North Fork Public House to North Fork Tavern, but everything else has remained the same!
