Description

The restaurant was located at the top of Hotel Eastlund, in the northeast Portland part of the Lloyd District. Altabira offered "stunning views of downtown Portland, the West Hills and the twin glass towers of the Oregon Convention Center from the tavern’s Lloyd District rooftop location".[1] The restaurant served American cuisine,[2] and had 16 regional craft beers on tap, as of late 2015.[3][4]

History

The restaurant opened in June 2015.[5]

Chef and restaurateur David Machado closed all five of his Portland restaurants, including Altabira and Nel Centro, in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][6][7]

Reception

Eater Portland has described the restaurant's patio as "a favorite hangout for Portland Blazers fans",[8] and included the space in a list of "20 Portland Patios to Catch the 2019 Summer Sun" as well as a 2019 list of "12 Ideal Rooftop Patios for Views, Drinks, and Sun".[9][10] The website's Alex Frane also recommended Altabira for viewing the city's annual Independence Day fireworks.[11]
