Box Car Taphouse

A neighborhood pub for food, a game, and good company.

LOCAL PHOTOGRAPH / THE LOST SIERRA

Box Car pairs rotating regional beer, wine, nonalcoholic choices, and pub food in Old Town Portola. It welcomes families and makes a natural meal stop around a visit to the railroad museum.

Host tip: Look at the weekly menu before going. It is a useful option when some guests want a proper meal and others mainly want a drink.

Before you go: The kitchen closes before the taproom. Confirm food-service hours and any scheduled events before arriving late.
