4 Best Bars in The Oregon Coast, Oregon

The spacious taproom and brewery set in a former 1920s auto showroom has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating where you can sample some of the best craft beers on the coast, including a number of limited-release collaborations with other top regional brewers. There's also tasty pub fare.

Stop by either the original downtown taproom or the newer space on the Coos Bay waterfront to sample some of the best craft beers on the South Coast. The waterfront locale, right by Coos History Museum, has nice views of the bay and tasty seafood-focused comfort fare, but the downtown locale charms visitors with a fireplace on the patio and plenty of good food as well.

Set amid the handful of boutiques and galleries that make up Salishan Marketplace on Gleneden's Siletz Bay, this cozy taproom with polished-wood communal tables and a long bar produces about a dozen exceptional beers at any given time, from a Bavarian-style helles (pale) lager to a dark and formidable oatmeal stout. Soft pretzels and wood-fired pizzas are served, too.

This old-school pub overlooks the ocean by Haystack Rock and garners considerable kudos for its beers, including the Kiwanda Cream Ale and deep, rich Tsunami Stout. The pub turns decent comfort fare. Pelican has three additional pubs in Lincoln City, Tillamook, and Cannon Beach.
