Columbia River Maritime Museum

Mentioned on 
23 lists 
Museum
Nature & Parks
The Columbia River Maritime Museum, located in Astoria's picturesque downtown, is a harborfront building housing a 30,000-object collection that covers fishing, shipping, and military history. The museum received a facelift in 2002 to expand its square footage and provide visitors with views of the river through glass and iron structures. It offers hands-on exhibits on topics such as navigating perilous weather conditions at sea and historic artifacts related to military history.
In June 2025, we crossed the extensive Lewis & Clark Bridge across the Columbia River and arrived in Astoria, Oregon. The Columbia River is beautiful and many miles wide at this point. We continued to drive on the Astoria Main Street, and we stopped to look at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. It was about 8 PM or so, and the Maritime Museum was closed. However, the Maritime Museum outdoor scenery and decorations were amazing and captured our attention. I would love to patronize this Maritime Museum someday in the future, and return to Astoria, Oregon to see more of the scenery and the mighty Columbia River. This Maritime Museum had great outdoor decorations and an amazing view of the Lewis & Clark Bridge.

Nice! Exhibits are spaced nicely with a good focus on Astoria. Although I look forward to the expansion, I was very disappointed in the payment system. The ancient slide wouldn't work for my card. A tap to pay system needs to be installed. The box office personnel were very friendly and helpful! Very much appreciated the welcoming attitude. Lovely variety in the gift shop. I learned a lot about the maritime history of this part of the coast!

September 2025 - Visited the museum and found it mostly interesting, but it seemed to be more of a 'dead ship' museum than a Maritime Museum, we liked the Garibaldi Maritime Museum as it gave more info and had better maritime displays. This museum seemed to be built around the various shipwrecks of the past decades and how each occured. It was somewhat heavy in Coast Guard operations as well.
Bill M — Google review
Excellent Exhibits! The Lightship was cool to walk through. Ticket is included in admission or $5 on own. The movies are timed, select times at admission for ticket(s). The two 3D movies, additionsl $5, each. Poor 3D, but good films on arctic and aircraft carriers. You can reenter museum and take as long as you want. Plenty for kids to interact in pilot house exhibits and activity room. Give time to go through, watch movied, tour ship and experience exhibits. I was there 3-4 hours and did it all.
Rochelle D — Google review
This place was amazing! There was so much to see and learn about. Give yourself a couple hours to be able to see it all. We also walked through the Lightship Columbia and toured the engine room. Such a great experience that even the kids loved.
Amber S — Google review
Well presented history of the Coast Guard and Fishermen experience where the Colum loved thebia meets the Pacific. Loved the life sized exhibits and the detailed exhibit notes and commentary.
Rich C — Google review
This museum is definitely worth a visit. Very well laid out, with a multitude of displays on the history of the local fishing industry, shipbuilding in Oregon, and Naval maritime history. Leave yourself at least an hour and a half to do it justice. Amazing new expansion opening in the fall of 2026.
John D — Google review
Spent 4 hours walking around and reading all their displays. Great mix of information and large scale displays. And our tickets got us access to the Lights hip. Take the engine room tour, worth the extra time

The Astoria Column

Mentioned on 
23 lists 
Historical landmark
Nature & Parks
The Astoria Column, constructed in 1926, stands at 126 feet tall and showcases murals depicting Oregon's history. Visitors can climb the 164 spiral steps to reach the observation deck, which offers a stunning 360-degree view of Astoria, the Pacific Ocean, the Columbia River mouth, Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier, and the lush forests of Oregon and Washington.
Very nice! I went about a month ago and the views were very nice. The stairs really freaked me out, they seemed a bit rickety, but the view at the top was worth it. You can see the whole city ! The column was very pretty in itself, wonderful graphics on the exterior that reminded me a bit of the Coit Tower in San Francisco.
James C — Google review
Beautiful 360 degree view of the area and Port Townsend from this vantage point. You can climb the "Column" for even a more unobstructed view, its 164 steps to the top, fairly narrow, but rest landings every 32 steps up the column. Nice diversion from downtown. There's a $5 admission charge, but I think its well worth it. There's a gift shop for souvenirs and refreshments. Go and enjoy.
Laine A — Google review
I had a fantastic time visiting the Astoria Column! For just five bucks, you get plenty of parking and a chance to climb the 164 steps to the top. The view up there is absolutely stunning—you get this amazing panorama of lush green forests, the water, and the charming little town of Astoria below. The weather was perfect when I went, which made it even better. There’s also a cute little souvenir shop nearby where I picked up a hat as keepsakes. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I’d definitely recommend it!”

Like many I find Astoria to be a magical place. Home of the Goonies, Kindergarten Cop, and many other classics from the 80-90s. This city is also where the Colombia River meets the Pacific Ocean. The Astoria Column is yet but another Gem in the treasure of experiences to be discovered in this once pirate hub. In a nutshell, for a small fee ($5 I think) you can park at the column, enjoy a beautiful view, walk up the column and witness an even more breathtaking view. And. Yes. Be. Prepared. And. Bring. A. Toy. Paratrooper. Or. Airplane. In fact bring 2. Once at the top of the column you can launch them in to the air, watch, and be transformed back into a child, and bubble with delight. If you have the capacity (and you will as you are now a child once again), run back down to retrieve your flying toy (or find a new one on the ground), run back up, and launch it off the column again! This is a simple and magical experience for all ages. Consider having a picnic there as well. Enjoy! Hot Tips! *Yes there are bathrooms and clean ones at that. *There is a gift shop to buy airplanes. Paratroopers must be bought elsewhere though. (Gift shops in Seaside sell them). *Another must visit is the Wreck of the Peter Iredale. *Another must visit is the museum/Fratelli’s jail. Film your own movie clips and get behind the scenes of Goonies. *Another must visit is the Astoria bowling alley and another key Goonies location. *Yet another must visit is Fort George Brewing. They have at least 2 different kitchens. The top restaurant makes fantastic pizza (open different hours), family friendly, and spacious.

Great views from the parking lot and from the top of the column. Oh my gosh. Also has the Cathedral Tree trail which is nice and severely covered by the trees. Several different trails. Nice walk to stretch your legs. Dogs on leash. Dogs not allowed in column. $5 to park, pass good for the calendar year, I believe it says. Column did lock automatically at a certain time so beware.

I found out about this while planning a trip to the area and it sounded like it might be somewhat like a lighthouse so I added it to our itinerary. We visited on a Monday late afternoon in August. There is a $5 parking fee but no cost to climb the stairs up to the top. The parking attendant was cheerful and friendly and there was plenty of parking. It’s 164 steps up to the circular stair case to the top and it really is like a lighthouse just minus the light. There was no attendant here to monitor how many are going in and coming out so just just go at your own discretion. There are a couple landings on the way to make space for traffic in both directions but I will say not everyone does that so you could be passing someone coming down as you are going up and there is no inside railing just trust in your own balance to go up the inside of the staircase while yielding to people coming down with the railing on their outside. I wish I had a picture to show this but I wasn’t even thinking of that. Once up to the top, the view is beautiful and you are fenced in. There is a gift shop in the parking lot area that sells little model airplanes that you can launch from the top. That’s a cool idea but we don’t know it until we saw someone do it from the top because we didn’t go in the gift shop until we came back down. The walk up and down is not strenuous in my opinion but if you’re not used to walking that many stairs or if you’re afraid of heights just give yourself some time. People likely will be kind enough to be patient if they are behind you. There is a walking trail on the ground level but we didn’t do that so I don’t know how long it is. We enjoyed this.

The Astoria Column is a pretty remarkable spot! Perched high above Astoria, Oregon, it gives sweeping views of the Columbia River, Youngs Bay, the Coast Range, and even out to the Pacific on clear days. The location is famously windy (many visitors bring or buy the small wooden gliders sold on site just to launch them from the top), which adds to the fun. The 125-foot column itself is decorated with a spiral mural illustrating major events in Pacific Northwest history, from Native cultures to the arrival of explorers and settlers. Climbing the spiral staircase to the top is a bit of a workout, but the payoff is the 360° panoramic vista—definitely one of the best in Oregon. It’s a spot that blends history, art, and natural beauty. Perfect for photos, picnics, or just watching the clouds roll across the river.

If you're in the Astoria area, be sure to check out this Historical Landmark. Driving in, there is a $5 Annual parking pass that you can purchase when entering. Proceeds go to the upkeep of the park. For those who want to tackle the 164 steps to the top of the Column, be sure to stop in the Gift Shop first and pick up a glider for when you reach the top. Awesome views of the Columbia River Inlet as well as the Astoria-Megler Bridge.

Flavel House Museum

Mentioned on 
19 lists 
Museum
Historical landmark
The Flavel House Museum is a stunning Queen Anne-style Victorian mansion built in 1885 for Captain George Flavel and his family. The museum showcases period furniture and features a formal garden, offering visitors a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the era. The house is an architectural masterpiece, reflecting the grandeur of turn-of-the-20th-century Astoria. It stands as a testament to the city's history, which includes being home to the first American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains.
I’ve visited a lot of historic house museums over the years but the Flavel House takes the cake for the size of the rooms relative to the era it represents. At over 11,000 square feet, the house commands the full city block on which it’s set. The rooms are very well decorated to represent the period. Some of the furnishings are Flavel family pieces. Excellently curated with abundant labels, there’s a lot to learn here, particularly if you’ve never visited a Victorian era home before. Given the Flavel’s particular prominence in history of Astoria and the Pacific Northwest in general, this is a must see for any history buff.
Andrew H — Google review
An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The self-guided tour was engaging and easy to follow, and the staff and volunteers were genuinely kind and welcoming. The Flavel House is beautifully preserved, with each room carefully arranged to reflect life in the late 1800s. The accompanying photos showing the original uses of each space make the history come alive in such a unique way. A must-visit for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, or anyone who appreciates Victorian-era charm.
Jeff C — Google review
The self guided tour at the Flavel House in Astoria, Oregon, was like walking through a time warp that allows the visitor to not only see all of the beautiful masterpieces throughout but also submerge all of your other senses into the past. We were allowed to check out everything from the grounds to the bathrooms on our own, and I think that was the most special part of the tour.
Emily H — Google review
Absolutely mind boggling to think nobody wanted this place in the 1940's and the Flavel family had trouble giving it away. The city almost tore it down to put in a parking lot! Thankfully the Clatsop County Historical Society stepped up, and has done a magnificent job of restoring this house to original condition. If you're traveling to Astoria it's well worth the visit.
John D — Google review
A must see whenever in Astoria. Beautiful classic architecture steeped in history.

Visited on an Oregon trip a month ago, one of the best Victorian house museums that I have ever been to!!
James C — Google review
September 2025 - Visited the house and saw how the 'royalty' once lived in Astoria (No not a king, but a wealthy person). Been to palaces in Spain, Italy, Turkiye, and Portugal and this was somewhat of a letdown in comparison to each. The entry is on the street in a smaller building, and the parking is nearly non-existent. Entry fee is affordable to most. There is a path from the small building to the 'mansion' and the entry is on the far street side. Not easily accessed by the physically challenged. Plan on about 30 minutes, and climbing stairs at the entry and inside to get to the second floor.
Bill M — Google review
Very unique and beautiful piece of history being preserved for everyone to admire and enjoy. The whole experience was delightful, from the entrance at the carriage house and educational pre-entry video, to the walk through, and talk with the curator. I loved every minute of it. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We got some delightful insite on the habits of the family who lived there and the spaces not accessible to the public (mainly the attic and basement). I definitely recommend a walk through, the architecture, ornate decor, and phenomenal craftsmanship, were really a treat to see.

Astoria-Megler Bridge

Mentioned on 
17 lists 
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Astoria-Megler Bridge, the longest continuous truss bridge in North America, is a stunning landmark that offers breathtaking views of the Columbia River and connects Oregon and Washington. The bridge provides access to an array of destinations and activities, including Cape Disappointment Lighthouse, North Head Lighthouse, and Fort Stevens State Park. Visitors can enjoy scenic hiking/biking trails, historic ship wreckage, and sandy beaches in the area.
Driving across the bridge is quite an experience, but be ready for some serious traffic! Also, you'll probably notice an unusual number of dead birds scattered along the road on the bridge. Just something to keep in mind! Nevertheless it offers great views.
Justin B — Google review
The Astoria–Megler Bridge is a stunning landmark and a must-see when visiting the Oregon Coast. Stretching over four miles across the Columbia River, it’s the longest continuous truss bridge in North America and an impressive sight in itself. The green steel structure contrasts beautifully with the blue waters below, making it a fantastic spot for photos. From the Astoria waterfront, you can watch massive cargo ships and fishing vessels navigate the river, with the bridge creating a dramatic backdrop. The nearby Columbia River Maritime Museum adds to the experience, giving context to the river’s rich history. Whether you’re driving across, photographing it from the shore, or exploring the riverfront, the bridge offers iconic views and a real sense of scale.
Sid — Google review
Stretching an impressive 4.1 miles across the mouth of the Columbia River, the Astoria–Megler Bridge is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America. It connects the charming town of Astoria, Oregon, to the rugged shoreline of Megler, Washington, completing a vital link in U.S. Route 101. But this isn’t just a bridge, it’s a bold architectural statement standing guard over one of the most unpredictable waterways in the Pacific Northwest. Each fall, the waters beneath the bridge come alive with one of nature’s great spectacles: the salmon runs. Hundreds of thousands of Chinook (King Salmon) and Coho surge upstream, navigating the powerful currents to reach their spawning grounds. Anglers line the banks and boats dot the channel, all hoping to intercept these muscular fish as they pass beneath the steel latticework above. The Columbia River beneath the bridge is no gentle stream. It’s a deep, fast-moving artery that has claimed countless vessels over the centuries. The river’s mouth, just 14 miles downstream, is infamous for its shifting sandbars, powerful tides, and sudden squalls. Mariners call it the “Graveyard of the Pacific,” a name earned by the hundreds of sunken ships that litter its floor. Navigating this stretch requires precision, experience, and respect for the river’s many moods. Among the modern giants that brave this treacherous passage is the Plumeria Leader, a Japanese-flagged cargo ship built in 2022 and operated by NYK Line. This roll-on/roll-off vehicle carrier spans over 200 meters and ferries thousands of cars and heavy machinery between North America and Japan. Watching it glide beneath the bridge’s steel canopy is like witnessing a ballet of brute force and finesse—its towering hull nearly brushing the trusses above, a visual reminder of the delicate choreography required to move global trade through this wild corridor. Adding a touch of wild charm, thousands of double-crested cormorants have made the bridge their seasonal home, nesting in its steel beams and complicating inspections with guano and obscured lights. Once a year, the bridge opens to foot traffic for the Great Columbia Crossing, a six-mile run or walk that lets participants experience the thrill of crossing this engineering marvel on foot. If you ever find yourself in Astoria, take a moment to gaze at its steel trusses and imagine the stories flowing beneath, from salmon and ships to storms and seabirds. The bridge doesn’t just span a river; it spans centuries of drama, resilience, and awe. It’s not just a crossing, it’s a living chapter in the Pacific Northwest’s epic tale.
Kevin — Google review
An impressive drive with scenic views! Crossing the Astoria-Megler Bridge was a highlight of the trip. The bridge stretches over 6 km (4 miles) and offers stunning views of the Columbia River and surrounding coastline. The structure itself is a unique mix of engineering and beauty, especially on a moody, overcast day like when we visited. It's a smooth, easy drive, and a great way to enter or leave Astoria. Definitely worth experiencing if you're road-tripping along the Pacific Northwest.
Gabriel D — Google review
What a beautiful and amazing drive over the Columbia river! It’s not as scary as Mackinac but we didn’t think it was for the faint hearted either. Luckily, one of us isn’t faint hearted. The history of this bridge is of course fascinating. If you’re in this area you can’t not drive over it
David S — Google review
The Astoria–Megler Bridge is absolutely breathtaking. Stretching over four miles across the Columbia River, it’s both an engineering marvel and a scenic experience. Driving across gives you sweeping views of the river, the town of Astoria, and the Washington shoreline. The steep climb on the Oregon side makes the drive exciting, and the descent feels like you’re gliding over the water.
Amen K — Google review
Would you dare to drive across a bridge in 100 mph winds? Welcome to the Astoria–Megler Bridge, the longest continuous truss bridge in North America — stretching 4.1 miles over the mouth of the mighty Columbia River, where wind gusts have been strong enough to shake cars and terrify even seasoned drivers. Built in 1966, people once mocked it as “The Bridge to Nowhere”. Today, it’s a stunning gateway between Oregon and Washington — and a symbol of Pacific Northwest grit. 🎬 It’s been featured in movies like “Short Circuit” and “Kindergarten Cop” — because yes, this bridge has main-character energy. For years, the Great Columbia Crossing let people walk the entire span — a once-a-year chance to experience the bridge on foot (no cars, just you and the view!). And no tolls. Not then. Not now. Just open road, wild weather, and a view that’ll stick with you. ➡️ Follow us for more epic places and strange stories across the Northwest. 💙 Thanks for liking this post!

I am from Ohio and drove through MI Mackinac bridge before. This bridge reminds me of that except this is not a suspension bridge and better yet; it's free. The scenary is so beautiful-so worth the drive. We had a great view of the bridge from the Astoria column and Columbia Maritime museum.

Located in a former jail, the Oregon Film Museum showcases exhibits dedicated to 'The Goonies' and other movies filmed in Oregon. Visitors can immerse themselves in the cinematic history of Astoria, learning about the various films that have featured this picturesque city. The museum offers an entertaining experience with insights into iconic movies such as Kindergarten Cop, Free Willy, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.
Short and sweet. Wish it had a better presentation to it... the make your of scene thing is over played there. The place has potential. I really liked seeing all movie posters from the films from the area. Best of all they were all my favorite films growing up. The Goonies house not far away was why I was there. It was like a dream come true visiting this town.

I expected more it looked so big and then there was hardly anything to see. It was hard to move around inside because the spaces are all tiny. They did have some cool Goonies memorabilia and this is where they filmed the jail scenes. They did have a few other movies highlighted but not enough to call it the Oregon Film Museum.

Pretty cool for Goonie fans. Go see the house then come here. It's small but a lot inside. Can tape your own scenes like you were in the movie then save them.

Worth a quick little trip, for some behind the scenes info on The Goonies and other movies filmed in and around the area. I would pay the entrance fee just to get my picture in the jail cell! Some interactive filming exhibits,photo ops inside and out and a nice selection at the gift shop make this worthwhile, but again for a quick visit! It's a small building and if there's a crowd, you feel it! Hey there early and make this a stop if you're a Goonie

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the OFM during our vacation in Astoria, Oregon. The museum features memorable items and scenes from iconic films such as The Goonies, which was a highlight of the experience. Our children especially loved recreating moments from The Goonies, Kindergarten Cop, and The Shining. A unique and entertaining stop that we would highly recommend to anyone exploring Astoria.

Great little museum! Have the option of buying admission to just this one or three spots around thown, the Flavel House (right across the street) and the Heritage Museum (a few blocks up). There is a restroom you can use, located up a block in the Carriage house on the Flavel property. Lots of cool stuff to do and look at in this little place. Can film "cameos" with scripts and share them, thought that was pretty cool! Nice selection in the gift shop too. As you get close, find a spot on the street, we had to circle a few times, the Oregon Film Museum doesnt have a dedicated parking lot (that we saw) and shares with the Court House.

The Astoria Riverfront Trolley, a historic 1913 trolley, offers hour-long rides along the waterfront with charismatic conductors and docents sharing interesting tidbits and historical facts. The ride provides views of the town's repurposed canneries, wooden walkways, tree-root stairs of the Cathedral Tree Trail, and the hilltop Astoria Column. It also makes multiple stops allowing passengers to step off if they wish.
2 big steps to get on, but such a lovely little tour. Very knowledgeable volunteer staff. Sites of interest were pointed out in a fun & informative way the whole trip. Charming trolly car. Can't beat the price. Glad we took advantage of this. It also pointed out good restaurants to go to.

If you're in Astoria and have an hour to kill the Riverfront Trolley might be the best deal in town. The volunteers running the trolley are fantastic, and give and amazing narration as you're cruising along slowly; 10 mph max. Takes about an hour to make the round trip, and well worth it.

The guy that does the talking is great! He does a little history tour for of the area. It's a slow moving trolley and the kids are 10 and 12 but they still enjoyed it and the operator made them laugh. The little gift shop in front is cute with gifts and post cards, and purchases support the trolley. The seats reverse for the ride back and for $1 (as of writing this) for staying on whole trip or $2 to get off and on all day, it's a good little low key adventure. Beautifully restored!

What a freaking GEM! Please support the volunteers who run this historic trolley; they tell great stories and give you tidbits to pay attention to as you go by without being boring or repetitive. Such a great way to see Astoria - we would have missed so much had we not hopped on on a whim! Bring cash to board and also they have merch for sale that’s cash only (we got a Christmas ornament we’ll cherish for years to come).

This trolley, built in 1913 or so, runs along the riverfront in Astoria, OR. For $1 you get to see all the fun spots and historical features of downtown Astoria. The volunteers who run the trolley are eager to explain what you're seeing and to give some local flavor. A round-trip lays about an hour.
Walter B — Google review
Awesome and informative ride even if it is shorter than normal due to the Buoy Beer roof collapse. It currently stops at Stop #6 but that may change. The two gentlemen running the trolley were knowledgeable and friendly, with lots of great information along the way. The trolley is gorgeous and the way the seats switch sides for the return trip is so cool!! Definitely worth a buck, and if you can give them some extra or buy some merchandise, that helps them fund the trolley for future enjoyment.

The Heritage Museum, located in a historic 1904 building that once served as the courthouse and city hall of Astoria, offers a fascinating journey through the region's rich history. Managed by the Clatsop County Historical Society, this museum presents diverse exhibits covering Native American heritage, local industries, settlers' artifacts, and immigrant stories.
What a fun museum to see the history of Astoria! They have a lot of fun exhibits to check out and the building itself is pretty neat! If you decide to check this place out, this museum has a 3 pass ticket associated with the Flavel house and the Oregon Film museum that is worth purchasing the pass for and checking out all 3!

Another amazing piece of Astoria’s history. The Heritage Museum offers a fascinating look into the city’s past—from its maritime legacy to everyday life through the years. The exhibits are beautifully curated and packed with interesting details, and the staff are just as friendly and passionate as at the Flavel House. It’s the perfect companion stop if you’re exploring local history, and together they give a full picture of Astoria’s rich and vibrant story.
Jeff C — Google review
I was impressed with the Heritage Museum. I had been wanting to visit for at least two of my my previous trips to and through Astoria. While it may be overshadowed by the larger maritime museum close by, it’s well worth the time to visit this museum which I found to be full of local history. The building itself is a piece of Astoria history which I won’t spoil here. There is a rotating exhibit on the second floor which changes from time to time so I have reason to stop by again and plan to. A bonus is that it is a short walk from the Bowpicker Fish and Chips which I also recommend.

Great stop for a nice quiet walk through some very interesting history. There were a lot of displays and they made good use of the space available in the building.

I will definitely be going again on my next trip through Astoria.

This is an amazing museum that not only takes you back in time with local history but also shares a national impact. The artifacts and set up of the variety of installations is top notch! Local or travelling through, go to the Heritage Museum!!
Beth E — Google review
September 2025 - This museum is near the main street parking area and you can drive or walk to it. It displays the history of Astoria which is interesting in that the people of the past thought that Astoria would become the New York City of the West Coast. Indeed, the history of Astoria is full of 'first' in that it was part of the Lewis & Clark expedition; it was one of the first and largest lumber areas in the nation; it was originally built on stilts over the Columbia River Waterway until it burned down and had to be rebuilt; etc.

Really loved this walking path! A great way to view the river and the town. It certainly helped that I was there on a beautiful sunny day with the salty sea breeze welcoming me. Easy flat grade and goes past many places to stop. You can also bike it or take the trolley!

Terrific Riverwalk for prime waterside viewing of the Columbia River in Astoria. Step counters will appreciate the paved walk along the river. Longer step counters will want to include the walk to add to total Astoria steps. Restrooms available at restaurants and coffee shops along the walk. Bikes, skateboarders , walkers, runners will appreciate this path. Many access points Handicap doable and highly recommended. Keep an eye and EAR out for sea lions Final Take---Highly recommended. Free ------is a very good price!

Cathedral Tree Trail

Hiking area
The Cathedral Tree Trail offers a serene escape into nature, surrounded by majestic oaks and pines. This three-mile trail is ideal for walking, jogging, or simply taking a leisurely stroll. It provides an opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty while being just a short distance from the city. The trail can be completed in about 40 to 45 minutes round trip and may get muddy during winter with plenty of roots along the way.
A short and quite easy trail. We saw a bunch of banana slugs and the kids had a blast trying to find the next one! You got to walk slowly and enjoy the solitude and calmness of the trail. It was not we but I can see that with some rain the trail can become muddy and slippery. While the markings and signs are not great but they are still there and easy to find. The trail ends at the Cathedral tree which makes it a fun adventure with a goal! Will highly recommend it if you are visiting the Astoria Column.
Ash J — Google review
not really worth the trip unless you're local or happen to be driving by, a mile round trip from the Irving Street entrance. The cathedral tree itself is somewhat underwhelming. The wide gravel trail up to the tree from the street is steep, that's why I rate it moderate. A great spot for letting kids run off some steam!
Kelly T — Google review
Very quiet and beautiful trail. Lots of maintenance is being done at the moment, so be sure to stay on the actual trail. Most of it is uphill and a little slippery after or during rainfall, but once I reached the cathedral tree, being out of breath and the burning in my legs no longer mattered because I was in awe! It was HUGE! I used this trail to access the Column and didn't wanna pay $5 for parking, so you'll have to park on the street and it has some potholes at the moment and can't hold a lot of cars so go at less busy times of the day!

Solo hiking felt very safe and easy. I hiked from the Astoria Column, and it took me 53 minutes of a very slow walk while taking lots of pictures. Unfortunately, I missed the Cathedral tree. Well, it was still a nice hike anyway.

Kevin V — Google review
As a tourist, I do not recommend this portion of this trail! It's not well marked, or marked at all, other than as sign at the top...to Cathedral tree. I never did find the cathedral tree. Worst of all, I got completely lost in the forest. Thank goodness I did have good cell service, or I may still be on the mountain! Finally, I found an open spot I could identify on Google maps! That got me to a gravel packed service road, that got me to a paved service road, that got me to the streets leading back to the top of the Astoria Column where my journey began. What I did enjoy fully was the wide variety of flora and fauna. Taking pictures was my only distraction from getting lost. No, this is not how I got lost.
Debra C — Google review
Had a nice 2 mile (round trip) hike to the Cathedral Tree. Have fun counting banana slugs on the trail and enjoying the buzz of nature on this hike. Be sure to have good treaded shoes - there are some slick parts which my kids would happily explain is wonderful enjoyment to see their dad butt skid down the trail.

American restaurant
Bridgewater Bistro is a spacious and elegant New American restaurant located in a restored 1896 building on a pier, offering stunning views of the Columbia River. The bistro provides an all-purpose, gluten-free-friendly menu for both lunch and dinner, with 90% of the dishes being modifiable to be gluten-free. Even their fish and chips are available in a gluten-free option.
We’d been on the road all day and found this place right behind our hotel. Walked in about 30 minutes before closing (I usually hate doing that), but we had to try it!! Staff was really cool, super friendly, & professional, no weird vibe about us coming in late. Food was legit. I asked for lemons and our waitress actually cut fresh ones for us. She also made sure my daughter’s allergy was covered, explained how everything was cooked, and answered every question. Solid spot.

All the food and drink we had were delicious with an exception that costs this restaurant a star. My wife and I had salmon and halibut. We loved the food except that both dishes were really salty... like over-the-top salty. The waiter was professional and the atmosphere was comfortable. If we ever come to Astoria again, we'll consider coming here but the memory of extraordinarily salty food will likely keep us away.

First time going here. Made a reservation online just to save time waiting and grateful I did. Went for a small solo dinner and overall really good experience. My waitress was Katy, she was very friendly and had no problem giving me the extra time I wanted to decide on something to drink. I brought a book with me and my headphones to drown out any conversations, but regardless the ambiance was great. They had some music playing, the natural light by the window I requested to sit at in my reservation was beautifully clear and I was able to enjoy looking out at the water. I tried a different take on a desert and simply wasn’t a big fan. Katy was extremely kind and said I could try something different if I wanted. Overall a nice evening and I will definitely go back.

We don't normally eat somewhere twice when visiting a town but Bridgewater Bistro was a definite exception to that rule! We went on a self appointed chowder walk through town and a couple recommended the bistro for their gluten free menu so off we went. I've never had gluten free fish and chips at a restaurant so had no idea what to expect but let me tell you, absolute perfection! So much perfection we went back the next night for more and if we were in town any longer, we would have went back again! The first night since we'd already had several cups of chowder on our walk, we skipped the soup. Boy did we regret that decision after having the Hungarian Mushroom soup our second night, it was rich and decadent with an earthiness that we couldn't get enough of! Service both evenings was top notch, genuine and attentive. The restaurant is warm and cozy while being modern and updated with gorgeous views of the Columbian river. Highest of recommendations to Bridgewater Bistro!

Calm and refreshing atmosphere, DELICIOUS and creative food, and attentive and kind service. We arrived with a sleeping toddler in tow, asked for a spot to sit where we could park a stroller. Instead, with forethought and work from the host staff, we got a spacious comfortable booth which was also great when said toddler woke up. He could (within reason) move around and the noise level in the restaurant (chatty and live with a guitarist playing, but not too loud) was perfect so he was not bothering anyone. We are vegetarians and the food options - well, first of all there were multiple options which isn’t always true - were creative, delicious, hearty, and had good protein content. Great wine of course, and great waitstaff as well. I highly recommend this place and I’m so grateful for the great experience.

Great place on the water near the bridge. Excellent photo ops, friendly service and absolutely delicious food! We shared a bowl of chowder and wish we got our own! It was so delicious, loaded with seafood and a hint of curry that makes it unique (in a great way)! The fish and chips was delicious and fresh, as was the house-made cherry ice cream and lemon cookie!
Michelle M — Google review
This was my second time here. I ordered the clam chowder & roasted beet carpaccio. Husband ordered the brisket. Everything was excellent. The brisket was very tender. The beet carpaccio was a good portion as a main dish for me, or an appetizer for two. The cup of chowder was lovely with a hint of curry. Waitress was nice. For dessert, we had the cheesecake and lemon posset. I loved my dessert. The texture & flavor of the posset was great. I didn’t care for the berry sauce because it contained seeds, but that’s a personal preference I’m sure. I think it would be better with a seedless reduction or a “sauce”. It’s a bit expensive, so be prepared to pay around $35-$45 for an entree.

Restaurant Review: Bridgewater Bistro – Astoria, Oregon We visited Bridgewater Bistro on Father’s Day, and while the restaurant was clearly caught off guard by the holiday rush, we feel it’s important to share both the challenges and the highlights of our experience. It took well over an hour for our meals to arrive, which was understandably frustrating. However, we acknowledge that this delay was likely due to the unusually high volume of guests on a busy holiday, and not reflective of their usual service standards. That said, once the food arrived, it was well worth the wait. The meals were delicious, beautifully prepared, and showcased a creative and unique menu. The flavors were exceptional and clearly crafted with care. The service, while slow due to circumstances, remained attentive and friendly throughout. The ambience of the restaurant is truly outstanding—charming, upscale, and perfectly suited for a special occasion or relaxed fine dining. Despite the delays, we would absolutely recommend Bridgewater Bistro. We recognize that our experience was impacted by the holiday rush, and we believe the quality of the food, atmosphere, and staff more than made up for it. We look forward to returning on a quieter evening to fully enjoy all that this exceptional restaurant has to offer.

Bowpicker Fish and Chips

$$$$cheap
Fish & chips restaurant
Nestled in a grounded boat right in the heart of town, Bowpicker Fish and Chips is a must-visit for anyone craving classic beer-battered fish 'n' chips. This unique eatery has become an iconic part of Oregon's culinary scene, drawing crowds eager to savor its delicious offerings. While waiting for your order can be part of the experience, it’s well worth it as you indulge in their perfectly fried fish paired with tangy tartar sauce and crunchy slaw.
Extremely well made fish & chips. The breading is well done, isn’t greasy, and the fish is consistently tender and well cooked. It’s hard to describe the crunch it has, but they have it dialed in. Full order is 5 pieces w/fries for $15.00. They’ll give you a small cup of ketchup and tartar sauce. Up to you for other condiments while you’re up there getting your food - including lemon (juice). Not going to lie, the lemon juice instead of lemon slices is a big turn off to me personally but it works. I’ve been here when it opens and an hour before close – there is always a line. For good reason too. Great spot!

When you see 30 or so people in line for food, you figure that it must be good food. Bowpicker did not disappoint. Bowpicker does fish & chips. And they do it great! Price is good & the quality of the fish is amazing. Not your greasy food truck fish & chips. This is albacore. Tender, flaky, & done just right. If you see 30 or so people standing in line at lunchtime for fish & chips, then you better get in line, too.
Tina S — Google review
Really great one of a kind experience, first for the amazing light and airy batter, second for rockstar tartar sauce, third for albacore tuna fish which is the only fish they ever have in their fish and chips, so stop asking. Bonus points go to the rickety old boat that they cook in. And finally tip of the hat to the staff who seemed to be fun and friendly even though all their customers have just waited in a long line victims of their own success. LOL. And finally the price ain't bad. If you are persnickety and you have not had tuna fish and chips then just know that the fish is going to be rather firm inside. You are not allowed to complain, and this style will grow on you.

BEST FISH & CHIPS! Every single time we pass by the area, it is either too long of a line or we just time it out wrong so we miss our opportunity and they are closed but we finally got lucky enough and I regret sharing the one basket and not trying it before!

After visiting the Astoria Column, I spotted a long line by a boat on a hill, turned out to be Bowpicker Fish & Chips! The fish was crispy outside, tender inside and the fries hit the spot. Super friendly local vibe, and totally worth the wait. Felt like a fisherman for a moment 😄. Must-try when in Astoria! Come early, bring cash, and don’t be scared of the line — it moves fast and it’s 100% worth it.

Be prepared to wait on line for the BEST FISH & CHIPS in the pacific northwest! No, seriously, it's THAT GOOD! There's going to be a line of folks but it moves steadily. Eating at some tables nearby will expose you to pigeons who don't mind being getting up close & personal as they beg for scraps. Great, fast service. Soft drinks available for order. Not a bad price for the quantity you'll get. Go ahead and get the full order, 5 pieces of fish and steak fries. You won't regret it.
Troy P — Google review
It is an experience eating from a boat that has been converted to a fish and chips street restaurant. Many claim it has the best that they ever tasted. I am not making that claim. Three small (1.5" by 1.5") pieces of fish and a small handful of skin on hand-cut fries, with a bottle of water cost over $11.00. So feeding a family of four will be about $44 or more. There are better options in Astoria, and other places along US-101 and Marine Drive. The owner and operator should visit the Rock of Gibraltar to see what a really nice Fish and Chips meal is.
Bill M — Google review
There was a wait, but it was worth it. It was very crispy and delicious. I believe it tastes better than what you'd find at a restaurant. There are benches next to Domino's Pizza where you can sit and eat. However, there are a lot of birds. If you're afraid of them, I recommend picking up your dish and taking it to your car or accommodation.

Stopped in for a quick bite on a cold winters day and this place did not disappoint! We weren’t super starving so we decided to split the butternut squash soup, which was absolutely the right call. It was hot, hearty, and plenty for two people to share - they even gave us extra sourdough bread.

Overall this place was great and I definitely recommend. Thanks, Astoria Coffee House & Bistro!

We really enjoyed the vibes here. Everyone in our family was happy with the food that they ordered and there was plenty of seating on a late weekday lunch. In my opinion, it was a bit pricey for a place where things are self-service/bus your own table. We spent $56 for a family of 4. No drinks ordered, just self-service water, and we ordered a chicken sandwich, bowl of soup of the day, BLT, and one order of macaroni and cheese. The food was seriously delicious though! Everyone really enjoyed their meals. Worth noting is that the portions were far larger than we expected.

Update May 2025: turns out we can also sit in the next door business. They have overflow seating. I wish this was clearly marked somewhere. We've been here 5 or 6 times now. We usually come around noon. Croissants are usually sold out by then. The other pastries are usually very dry and bland. I don't understand why they're not stocking up more on croissants since it clearly seems to be a popular product. Initial review early 2025: Perfect place for a coffee and some pastries. Update: only 3 seats inside this time. We paid good money for some pastries and then had to go eat them outside in the cold because there was no seating indoors. I'm very sad now that I paid so much tip for no service at all :((

The salmon hash was recommend here so we got it and a breakfast sandwich. Unfortunately the hash was mediocre at best, put on some hot sauce and it became ok. The fish was overpowering and the onions and peppers just added to the bitterness, the only thing that was surprisingly good was the hollidice sauce. The sandwich was good, think a upscaled egg McMuffin with a scrambled egg. Unfortunately the place is not will kept as they seem under staffed and you are supposed to bus your own table, or in our case bus the table for the last people that used the table.

A great place to enjoy a beverage (non alcoholic or alcoholic). I love the combo taproom with Pilot House Distilling and Buoy Beer, and the expansive patio that allows dogs!

There is a few choices for different food options making it a great pick for a group.

I liked this so much more when Pilot House and Buoy had their own locations. The Pilot House's previous location had more going on than this spot ever will. This is a great location, but food carts is a step back compared to the offerings and service provided at Buoy's previous location, which is currently another brewery! Too often in life, the trade off's aren't worth the compromise, and this new location is a beacon of this. The staff do their best to make drinks, socialize, and give directions to the bathrooms. I like and support both companies, but I wish it did not look and feel like this.

Coffee Girl, located on Pier 39 along the Columbia River in Astoria, offers a unique coastal cafe experience with misty morning views and a diverse menu. The cafe is situated in what used to be the oldest cannery in the West and shares its location with Rogue Pier 39 Public House. Visitors can enjoy latte art and homemade pastries while taking in the scenic views.
The line moved quickly and the cashier (I wish I had gotten his name, but male/mid-late20s?) was super pleasant. Our food was excellent. I don’t drink coffee (gasp), but my husband did and said it was great. The atmosphere was perfect! If you love a good walk, park at the Riverwalk Trail trailhead! I mean, it would’ve been a lovely walk without seeing a bald eagle along the way, but that sure made it extra special! The cannery museum and the historical artifacts on river boats were amazing! We will definitely return on our next visit to the area!

At the outside end of pier 39. You get to drive out onto the pier over rickety planks and everything. Very cool to visit. It's the old Bumblebee fish cannery and now has shops restaurants and some small local businesses inside. Great coffee shop with bagels and pastries etc. THE BEST right up front view of the river in Astoria. Small outside seating area where they used to unload fish.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Coffee Girl made my mom’s 66th birthday so special! 🎉☕️ We stopped in after church for a birthday brunch, and everything was absolutely perfect! The food and drinks were excellent, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make my mom feel celebrated. A huge thank-you to Hope, who helped us figure out exactly what we wanted and made sure everything came out perfectly. And an extra special shout-out to Hypatia, the sweetest supervisor ever — she asked my mom what music she wanted to hear for her birthday, turned it on, and even brought us extra chocolate for the strawberries we brought in. 🍓🍫 They made us feel so welcome and at home. My mom said it was one of her favorite birthdays ever — and I completely agree. ❤️

Recommended by a friend as the best views for a coffee lover- and they were pretty spot on. This is such a fun place to grab a hot coffee in the morning and overlook the river. The food (with the exception of the pastries) is made to order. I got myself a parfait and it was packed with various kinds of fruits and berries- perfect for a day of hiking. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside while you are waiting for your order to be ready. The staff were super kind and could tell were super busy. Even for how busy it was, it was still very peaceful and enjoyable. The coffee is delicious and made for the perfect start to our day. A go-to for people passing through Astoria.

Friendliest people work here. They were greeting everyone by name and knew their drinks. Lattes were great. And the location can NOT be beat. On the water. We saw seals and bald eagles. Absolutely loved this spot!

Came here for breakfast on our road trip - this coffee shop has incredibly atmospheric vibes. They played cozy songs from the 1920s in the early morning, and we got to watch the sea birds play in water. We loved their coconut macadamia mocha! The food was pretty good too - I got their vegetable quiche!

Been a staple favorite of mine for at least a decade. Used to take my younger siblings here for a treat. Now I take my nephew. No matter the weather, it's a perfectly enjoyable place to soak in Astoria, views of the Columbia and the neighboring state of Washington, and if course the coffee of your coffee! Delicious breakfast and lunch bites available. Note: It's on a pier. Personally, I recommend parking on the main land and walking - you can see the boards "piano key" when cars drive over it.

Coffee Girl holds a very special place in my heart. It is by far my favorite coffee shop of all time. I go there every time I am on the north coast, not even specifically in Astoria, on the north coast in general. I ALWAYS end my trip with a coffee and treat from Coffee Girl. Their coffee, teas and Italian sodas are always excellent. The pastries and other treats are all home made and absolutely delicious. There is always something new! My all time favorite menu item is the Bagel and Carrot Lox. I have tried to recreate it at home, but it just isn’t the same. It so wonderful to grab your drink and treat and go sit out on the dock and watch all the boats and wildlife move by. It’s equally as relaxing to sit inside on a rainy day and enjoy the ambience. Wandering around Pier 39 in general is so much fun! Coffee Girl is an Absolute MUST if you are visiting Astoria!

South Bay Wild Fish House

Mentioned on 
+1 other list 
$$$$affordable
Seafood restaurant
South Bay Wild Fish House offers a unique seafood experience, with locally sourced seafood specialties and take-out options. The restaurant and market have scenic waterfront views, while the fishing company sells sustainable seafood only.
Freshest and tastiest seafood I’ve had in town (or even on the coast overall, why is it so hard to find fresh seafood restaurants?!). Been here a few times now and never disappointed. Tried a few different things, smoked tuna melt, prawns, oysters etc…. All delicious! Service was good. Sometimes have to wait for a table and it’s busy so might have to wait for waiter to stop by sometimes but worth it. Smoked tuna melt- said “lightly smoked” but it’s very smoky :)

South Bay Wild Fish House has a cool, PNW vibe to it. The fish was fresh, and crispy. Fried really well. The fish tacos were enjoyed by my sister in law, and the clam chowder was tasty. It’s not a thick, creamy chowder, but it jad a decent flavor. The clams were sparse, so that would be a nice improvement, but it was flavorful. The waitress was friendly, and the food was hot when she brought it out. We enjoyed our meal, but I’m not sure we’ll go again. There are other places in the area whose fish and chips and clam chowder are just a bit better.

We were looking for a lunch spot in downtown Astoria, and luckily found South Bay. What a great restaurant! Super fresh seafood, fantastic service, and really affordable. Some of the best tuna and calamari I've had anywhere. Coming back here whenever we're in Astoria!

We were looking for some great fresh fish and seafood to eat on our Cruise Ship stop in Astoria .. we def found a hidden gem ❤️ We had done a bit of research on best rated restaurants and this one came up very high! Casual setting, very friendly service and most importantly very fresh and delicious fish ❤️. I had a lovely Banh Mi with Petrale Sole and OMG .. the fries they served were maybe best fries I’ve ever had! The seasoning on them was so tasty and they were perfect mix of crunchy and pillowy soft.. Our server recommended the best fish to choose when we chose what we wanted. My husband got Fish Tacos which he also loved .. just a great, flavourful meal ❤️

What a wonderful meal. We had the tuna melt special, ceviche, raw oysters and clam chowder. The food was excellent as well as the service. The only thing I didn't like was the waitress tried to give us the bill while we were still eating. I don't like being rushed while enjoying an excellent experience. I still would go back in the future.

One of our favorites we visited in Astoria. 🤩 All food items were excellent but I must say the tuna poké can't be beat! The oysters, calamari, and clam chowder were top notch too! Excellent bartending as well. 👍 Super fun & eclectic atmosphere and great friendly service! We'll definitely be back!

Came for lunch and ordered the chowder, ceviche and the fry bread w crab(half roasted peppers half chimichuri) Really enjoyed the chowder and the shrimp ceviche. Fry bread was tasty, but super greasy for my tummy- it was delicious. Great selection of drinks and cute atmosphere.. I would recommend if your in the area

A quirky, 2-level restaurant serving some extremely delicious seafood options. We'd been recommended to visit here by the folks on the Astoria Underground Tour. Staff was friendly, food good, and the only thing I would say that would help this establishment might be adding a flat screen in the bar area connected to a camera mounted on the roof facing the river, as this establishment has no visibility to one of Astoria's greatest assets - the river and the Astoria-Megler Bridge

Rogue Pier 39 Public House

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
$$$$affordable
Brewpub
Rogue Pier 39 Public House is a family-friendly chain located in Astoria, Oregon, offering handcrafted beers and American gastropub eats in a laid-back waterfront setting. Situated in the former Bumble Bee Tuna cannery, it provides a scenic backdrop for enjoying an elevated take on fish and chips made with rockfish or salmon. With 30 local beers on tap, visitors can savor some of the most unusual brews while taking in views of seals just outside the window.
The food was ok. The service and staff was awesome . The restaurant itself had a cool decor and it’s mainly focused as a bar. The one thing that extremely needs to be addressed is the nasty restrooms. So disgusting. The entire time we ate our dinner we could smell a hint of urine and crap. This is a major thing. Especially for people traveling and trying this restaurant. When woman need to use the restroom the need to sit down and when it’s disgusting it makes them not want to come back. The old saying is - that if the restrooms are nasty where everyone can see them the kitchen probably is. Just something to think about. If this issue is addressed then you have a wonderful spot. The views from the pier are stunning. The posted business hours on Google maps and at the restaurant both are wrong. It shows they close at 8pm when they actually close at 10pm.

Outstanding views in a beautiful setting. The kid's meals were generous portions and priced fairly. Kiddo loved the chicken nuggets. Excellent beer/cider selection. Loved my hazelnut salad, although I would appreciate it if the nuts were crushed versus whole. Fair prices. We will be back!

It has a bit of a lost feel out there on the water, next to the Bumble Bee Tuna museum. But we took a chance mid week and found a parking spot. The view is spectacular and we'll worth the trip. The beer was great!

Stopped in for a few pints after dinner, we did not eat on this occasion. It's worth driving on the pier for the experience. It's nice to see more businesses open on the pier since our last visit including 2 restaurants and a gift shop.

Goonies fan here, so while on our visit escaping the Texas heat we chose this place randomly. I’m just going to say I ate the Best Halibut fish ever here. It was delicious and I probably should have ordered another dish. The Cole slaw on the other hand was tasteless for my preference. My husband had the Caprese turkey sandwich. He usually eats everything. Unfortunately he didn’t care for it. On the other hand he’s not a fan of fish, but he helped himself to my Halibut and really liked it. We also got the cheese curds and they were yummy. My husband liked the jalapeño dipping sauce. The overall all atmosphere and service was great!! I would come again and recommend to friends.

Surf 2 Soul

Mentioned on

Restaurant
Surf 2 Soul is an amazing Cajun and Creole food truck that dishes out some of the best eats in town. From po' boys to grits, hush puppies and biscuits, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The mac and cheese is a must-try, but don't forget the shrimp either!
Ordered a rice and red bean burger, fries, hush puppies and my girlfriend ordered chicken and waffles. The challenge with red beans and rice as a burger, is you gotta come up with the flavor. And oh my goodness, the flavor is amazing! Salt, sweet, crunch, avocado, hot bread, stretchy cheese, with a wild pickle punch in hidden bites! The fries are natural cut, seasoned, and not. I repeat, not soggy! They were firm, had a good crunch, I didn’t even need the ketchup that came with it. I wasn’t able to eat the whole thing, and it made for a great dinner as well. (It reheats well) The hush puppies with the honey butter… it was like eating an apple fritter inside a hush puppy. Truly a great twist on a southern classic Please give this place a try, anything and everything on the menu I’m sure is amazing. I mean, if you can make a red beans and rice burger taste that amazing. You can’t go wrong with anything at this place.

The food was absolutely delicious and the guys in the truck were so kind and fun to talk to! The portions are large so it is most definitely worth the cost.

This cute little food shack was the perfect spot for our vacation. I had looked it up when searching for a place to eat and I was drawn in by the Cajun mac. When we got there, we were greeted and taken care of in a quick and friendly manner a d the food didn't take long enough. We didn't sit far in the food court and you can smell it which only added to the anticipation of it all. We had the Apple Hushpuppies with Honey Butter, Cajun Mac and the Chicken N Biscuit. Everything was absolutely delicious, ESPECIALLY those apple hushpuppies, that man in the shack knows what he's doing! Compliments, compliments, compliments! 👏🏼 If you're in the area you definitely gotta try this place!

Must try the fusion chowder!! So good. The food here was 5 stars -- no question. The ambiance was a little quirky and the service not so polished on a busy weekend, but that was fine with us. Some "dinner clubs" lean towards stuffy or fancy, but this was simply good food in a lively, bright, and fun atmosphere. Really enjoyed the live music. T Paul's was a unique place, and we would return!

Yummmmm! The artichoke dip appetizer is a must-have along with the parmesan crusted halibut. It was cooked to perfection. Moist on the inside with a nice crusted outside. The crab ravioli was delicious, just a little sauce heavy for my taste. A bonus to our meal was the service. Sophia was amazing! Incredibly attentive, fun & so sweet. We will definitely be eating here again.

Greeted on entry. We're directed to the host desk having entered through the north door. Happy hour but only when seated in the bar area (important). Check ins and hospitality was exceptional, thank you. We did give advance notice, no reservations, however when I said we were early they just seated us though they said a nicer seat was in order because of our celebration. Food and drinks were great. See pictures. Would go again. The decor was eclectic, definitely the vibe but perhaps could be dialed back some of the wall quotes were head scratchers.

The Supper Club has been a long time favorite. You usually get good eats here. For a brief moment the quality seemed to have been taking a nose dive, but the last two times I went, it seemed as if they were back on their game. This time I chose the Halibut Fish and Chip Special. The fried halibut was nice and crispy. Possibly a touch too dark, but still tasty. Their sweet potato fries were plentiful and flavorful. My husband chose the Crab Mac ‘n Cheese. He said it was “just ok”, and would probably never order it again. It was less crabby than he expected and the portion was just not enough for him. It wasn’t his favorite. Blackened shrimp tacos and a salad (can’t remember which salad, tho) were also ordered and both people heartedly enjoyed their choices. The Supper Club does make great salads and their burgers are also outstanding. The raspberry rhubarb crisp was delicious. The chocolate cake was kind of dry and disappointing, because it looked beautiful. Unfortunately, it tasted stale and dry. The waitstaff was patient and friendly with 4 old fogies, and the restaurant always has a nice, groovy vibe to it. You really can’t go wrong at the Supper Club.

Beautiful airport would like to land here one day. What makes me sad is the cafe not being there anymore. I think it was called Launa's Hangar Cafe. All I know is the owner retired, but it's ashamed no one wanted to take over the business. I'm not a pilot yet, but I am working on it. Would've loved to get my $400 hamburger at that cafe. It looks like I will have to do that somewhere else. Once I have my license, I may do a few touch and goes at this airport. I'm not sure yet.
