EST. 1997 • CHICO, CALIFORNIA
A Chico original, reimagined for tonight.
European tradition meets Northern California energy. Red Tavern is where Chico gathers to eat beautifully, drink exceptionally well, and stay awhile under the trees.
European Flavor. California Energy. Chico Hospitality.
Founded in 1997 along The Esplanade, Red Tavern was built on a simple conviction: dining out should feel like a celebration, whether it is an anniversary dinner or an impromptu Tuesday cocktail. We call it a California supper club—an established neighborhood fixture grounded in seasonal ingredients, unpretentious hospitality, and a distinctly grown-up atmosphere. Sophisticated without being stuffy, and design-forward without chasing trends, we bridge classic bistro rituals with the effortless warmth of our hometown.
Food with a point of view, drinks worth lingering for.
- From the Kitchen: Our menu shifts with the rhythm of the valley. From house-made pastas and prime cuts to hyper-local produce sourced from our trusted regional purveyors and patio garden beds, every dish is prepared with culinary reverence and honest flavor.
- At the Bar: A balanced drink program featuring spirited signature cocktails, classic tavern standards, and a cellar focused on expressive California and European vintages.
- On the Patio: Shaded by mature trees and glowing with evening light, our patio is Chico’s outdoor living room—made for leisurely Sunday brunches, golden hour small plates, and conversations that carry late into the night.
