    • Black Rabbit Red - Bottle (To Go)

      A smooth and easy drinker, our Black Rabbit Red is built on a firm base of classic Bordeaux varietals from Washington’s Columbia Valley.

On the palate, round ripe tannins support and structure the chocolatey richness and dark fruit flavors.

      Fruit-forward and approachable, our signature white blend displays aromatics of nectarine, melon, and honeysuckle. The round and slightly creamy palate has ample fruit with hints of spice and a long, pleasant finish

    Restaurant info

    The eponymous Hal’s Café opened in 2011 as McMenamins Zeus Café, a downtown eatery at the confluence of distinct and disparate Portland history. In 2023 we renamed the place for our beloved Hal Finkelstein. Hal opened Zeus Café, lending his ethos of fine dining and the highest standards – and the energy to go with them.
