Our Story
Founded in 1988 by Ironvale native Thane Rook, Rune & Roost was built on the traditions, flavors, and quiet magic of the mountain town he called home. What began as a small hearth‑side tavern has grown into a gathering place rooted in handcrafted cooking, rune‑marked décor, and a deep respect for the land that sustains us. Inspired by the region’s rugged trails, seasonal harvests, and old folklore, we set out to create a dining experience that honors Ironvale’s heritage while bringing fresh creativity to every plate.
From the moment you step through our doors, you’re welcomed into a space shaped by firelight, carved wood, and the aromas of dishes made with care. Each item on our menu reflects the character of the valley: hearty stews simmered low, fire‑kissed meats, and produce sourced from nearby farms and foragers. Whether it’s mountain herbs gathered at dawn or grain milled just down the road, every ingredient carries a story of craft, community, and connection to the land.
As we continue to grow, our commitment remains the same: to offer an experience that feels warm, rooted, and unmistakably Ironvale. From our hospitality to our dedication to local sourcing, Rune & Roost is more than a tavern, it’s a place where travelers, locals, and friends come together to share good food, good company, and the spirit of the mountains. Join us as we write the next chapter of our story, and let the flavors of Ironvale welcome you home.
