Fully built-out restaurant with expansive patio and brewery taproom setup in Portland’s Hawthorne District — seeking a visionary food partner to co-create something extraordinary.
This is not just a lease listing. We’re seeking a culinary visionary to help shape a distinctive food and beverage experience in one of Portland’s most iconic dining corridors.
The Space:
• 2,950 SF spread across three levels
• Main: Dining room and full kitchen (with hood and walk-in)
• Upstairs: Private event/banquet room with street view
• Basement: Prep kitchen, office, and storage
• Expansive outdoor patio — ideal for seasonal dining, events, or creative use
• Formerly home to Tarboush, a beloved Mediterranean restaurant for over a decade
• Equipment and infrastructure already in place
The Invitation:
We’re open to traditional tenants, but most interested in collaborating with the right food concept. Brewed By Gnomes is a botanical brewery crafting beer, kombucha, and fermented drinks inspired by folk traditions. We’re looking to partner with a chef or restaurant operator to bring a shared culinary and beverage vision to life in this space.
You might be:
• A pop-up chef, food truck owner, or supper club host ready to settle into a real kitchen
• A chef de cuisine or sous chef with a concept and a dream
• A culinary team with a clear food identity looking to partner with an aligned beverage brand
• A fermentation-forward, seasonal, or storytelling-driven food creator who wants to go big
Lease + Financial Models:
• Flexible lease terms depending on vision and structure
• Traditional lease: $35/SF/YR (for independent full-space rental)
• Co-creative models welcome: profit-share, hybrid, or collaborative operating structures
• We’re especially open to structures where you lead the food, and we partner on the beverage side (with incentives built in)
Let’s Talk If:
• You want to build something unique, not just rent square footage
• You’ve got the culinary fire and are looking for a home (and a like-minded partner)
• You’re ready to be part of something imaginative, soulful, and rooted in neighborhood magic
Reach out with a bit about your background and vision. We’d love to hear what you’re dreaming of.
