Original Charred Concrete Walls

The Tavern Bar and Grille Interior Seating
The Tavern Grille, located in Old Town Cottonwood in the Verde Valley, Arizona, is just the spot! We pride ourselves in our great service, generous portions, quality dishes, and reasonable prices. Cozy booths, a “neighborhood” style bar inside and terrific covered patio outside, The Tavern Grille is perfect for any occasion.
The Grille is in a historic building originally built in 1923 as the Rialto Theater. It was the longest running single-screen theater in the United States until December 1998, when it was lost to fire. Reopened in December of 2005 as The Tavern Grille, guests will see the charred concrete walls that frame the dining room today. The building next door, built in 1925 as a grocery store, was converted into the upscale Tavern Hotel in 2011 and guests enjoy welcome cocktails at the Tavern Grille Bar after checking in. Upstairs from the Grille is a luxury penthouse that is part of the Tavern Hotel experience.
Join us for Happy Hour between 3-5pm! We’re open daily from 11am to 9pm. The Tavern is a non-smoking restaurant and does not accept reservations..
