Clyde Common was a restaurant and market in Portland, Oregon, United States.[1] The business opened in 2007. In 2020, Clyde Common closed temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reopening in July with outdoor dining and as a market. The bar and restaurant became known as Clyde Tavern, and the part of the former dining area was called Common Market.[2] Clyde Common closed permanently in January 2022.
The restaurant's bar, as led by Jeffrey Morgenthaler, was influential in its creations and helped lead the craft cocktail movement.[3]
Description and history
[edit]Matt Piacentini and Nate Tilden are co-owners. They opened the restaurant in the ground floor of the Ace Hotel (formerly the Clyde Hotel) in downtown Portland in 2007.[4][5] Tilden also owns part of the restaurant and meat company Olympia Provisions.[6][7] In May 2014, Carlo Lamagna replaced Johnny Leach as head chef.[8][1][9]
In 2020, the restaurant closed temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic.[10][11][12][13] Clyde Common re-opened in July with outdoor seating and as a market. Chis DiMinno served as executive chef.[14]
Clyde Common closed permanently in January 2022.[15][16] Submarine Hospitality is slated to open Stone's Throw in the space in early 2024.[17]
Reception
[edit]Clyde Common was a semifinalist in the James Beard Foundation Award's Outstanding Bar category in 2012, 2013, and 2015, and a finalist in the same category in 2014 and each year from 2016 to 2018.[18] The restaurant was included in The Oregonian's 2017 list of Portland's best restaurants.[8] In late 2018, Brian Panganiban of Willamette Week said, "This downtown stalwart is still a hub for good food and a prime place for people watching... Clyde remains quintessential Portland cool."[19] Joe Streckert included Clyde Common in Portland Mercury's 2019 list of "100 Portland Happy Hours: Downtown".[20]
