Now Open · The Pearl District, Portland

Chef Brian Malarkey's loud love letter to Portland.

What is The Malarkey

A little wild, a little glamorous.

The Malarkey is chef Brian Malarkey's homecoming: a wood-fired Pacific Northwest steak and seafood restaurant in Portland's Pearl District, in the former Oba! space. Rather than another traditional steakhouse, it's built as a celebration of Oregon, Portland's quirky personality, and the Malarkey family's own story.

Energetic and theatrical, with serious cooking under the playful exterior — coast, forest and ranch on the plate, and old-Portland music, film and nightlife on the walls. Wander in. Don't expect to leave the same.

01 · The Food

Wood-Fired & Oregon-Sourced

Locally sourced wood-fired steaks, whole fish off the fire, a raw bar stacked on ice — proteins kissed by the flame, with José "Lalo" Camarena's Mexican-American swerve.

Family-style, generous, meant to be shared.

Drinks with a Story

Pull up under the golden stag. A proof-and-zero-proof cocktail list that doesn't take itself too seriously — the Oba & Tonic, DB Cooper's Campfire, and the namesake Malarkey — poured alongside a deep, Oregon-forward wine list and Pacific Northwest beer and cider on tap. Come early, stay late.

Host a Private Event

Birthdays, rehearsal dinners, and full buyouts worth closing the doors for. The psychedelic forest private dining room is built for groups who want the place to themselves — big family-style menus, the full bar program, and a night nobody forgets.

Portland-Weird, On Purpose

Bubblegum-pink walls, a replica of the vintage Jantzen Beach diving sign, a golden stag over the bar, concert posters for the city's music history, and a vintage motorcycle overlooking the lounge. Dinner as theater.
