The Woodsman Tavern

From the caffeinated cat who started Stumptown Coffee, the gustatory genius who helped launch Olympic Provisions, and a torrid tender who raised the bar at Laurelhurst Market, Woodsman Tavern is a watering hole/ chow-hall opening Monday and boasting an epic raw bar, a super-rare charcoal-fired oven, tons of ham, classy 'tails, and rustically jazz-agey confines complete with exposed brick, rich wood everything, and little details like platform lights from a circa 1930s NY Subway, home of the famous "5-cent footlong".
