Truckee Tavern & Grill A sophisticated American Cuisine restaurant with a rustic feel located in Downtown Truckee, California.
(514)

We believe a great dining experience must not only be made with fresh quality ingredients and be expertly prepared but it must invoke emotion and memory. Truckee Tavern’s food and beverage offerings include the freshest, highest quality local ingredients, farm raised, hormone free meats and locally grown produce to give a sense of place. Menu items showcase the incredible diversity of food availab

le in California. The menus changes continually to reflect the seasons, changing tastes and availability to give the feel of moment. Retaining crowd favorites with new and exciting interpretations invokes anticipation in our regulars. These offerings are paired expertly with the finest wine, spirit and beer selections. Truckee Tavern’s spirit program draws from Truckee’s rich history of bootlegging during prohibition and focus on artisanal small batch gin and whiskey, the two main distillation products from Truckee during that era. This is complemented by a thoughtfully chosen selection of fine rum, vodka, brandy, tequila, mescal, liquors and cordials, all complimenting the overall experience.

Sauteed cremini mushrooms. Swiss. Arugula. Garlic aioli. All natural beef on a brioche bun.

The Forager. $21. Wednesdays only.

It pairs with Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey because malted barley and caramel warmth do something special with mushrooms and garlic that you just have to taste to understand.

Drew will pour it. Josh built it. Wednesday nights at the Tavern were made for this.

Bar seating. No reservations. Just show up.

The Butternut Squash Alfredo is on its way out.

House made linguini. Butternut squash alfredo. Bacon lardons. Fresh basil. Grana Padano. It is one of those dishes that sounds simple until it lands in front of you and you realize Chef Josh built something genuinely special.

It won’t be here much longer.

If you’ve had it, you already know. If you haven’t, now is the time.

We’re open every day at 4pm. Come in before it’s gone.

This is what 4pm looks like in Truckee.

Every day. 4 to 6. No gimmicks.

A $10 Cold Smoke Martini. An Old Bootlegger Manhattan that tastes like it was made for this town. Wings. Shrimp. A burger that earns its price.

We call it the Local Pour because that’s exactly what it is. Not a happy hour. Not a deal to chase tourists in the door. A daily ritual built for the people who actually live here.

Pull up a stool. You belong here.

Truckee Tavern. Open every day at 4pm.

Tomorrow has a name. BURGERS & BOURBON

Burgers & Bourbon Wednesdays at Truckee Tavern is four limited-run burgers, built from the ground up to live alongside our whiskey list. All natural beef. Brioche bun. Fries. And a pour that was picked for exactly what’s on the plate.

Tomorrow we’re spotlighting two that couldn’t be more different – and both are exactly right:

The Forager – sautéed cremini mushrooms, swiss, arugula, garlic aioli – paired with Westland American Single Malt. Toasted grain, orchard fruit, earthy malt. It walks the same forest floor as the mushrooms. This one isn’t accidental.

The Barrelhouse Bacon – bacon, crispy fried shallots, bourbon BBQ sauce, cheddar, paired with Buffalo Trace Bourbon. Vanilla. Oak. Soft caramel. Built for bourbon BBQ, cheddar, and crispy bacon. No notes.

One burger for the forager. One for the carnivore. Both built to make your Wednesday feel like an occasion worth showing up for.

Here’s the thing, Burgers & Bourbon lives exclusively in our bar, and we only have 28 seats. This isn’t the kind of night you plan last minute and hope for the best.
