  This place is a riot! My other half and I stopped into this local dive bar after escaping the awful Rogue Brewery when visiting Newport recently. We were cold and wanted beers-- this place was right there so we went in. What a great discovery!
  
  First, there was a fun and lively band on stage and the players were all in their fifties, clearly locals just jamming for fun, and the crowd watching were all their family, friends, and other colorful Newport natives. They were all so friendly and fun! We sat at the bar and enjoyed some cheap, tasty beers and chatted with several folks and we found ourselves just sitting back and smiling, taking in the scene before our eyes.
  
  This bar has a pool table, small stage, tons of tables, a large bar, and the usual dim lighting. Service was spot-on and quick, prices cheap. We loved this place and will definitely return on our next visit to Newport.

  Best dive bar in the world!!!  In my opinion that is.  We went to bay haven for the first time last year on vacation and were so looking forward to coming back this year on our trip.  The bar did not dissapoint!!  The people there are all very friendly and the bar tenders are super nice.  They have great deals on drinks, like crazy cheap!!  I think at happy hour the beers were 1.75, and that's for darn good beer!!  Not sure about the other stuff but people seemed to be drinking it all up so it must have been a decent deal.  This is for sure our favorite bar in Oregon!

  WOW... this is one seriously great dive bar.  I have never seen such a fantastic collection of salty drunken fishermen in all my life.  they sort of reminded me of that Disney pirate ride but without that catchy "yo-ho yo-ho" jingle  I must have heard the term "greenhorn" slurred in at least 20 different ways before 2pm by the various barnacle encrusted surly locals who were actually all very very nice once you convince them that you are in fact not the "po-lice" or a tax collector.  I'm not entirely sure, but I think a few of these guys might actually live on the back porch by the horseshoe pit.  god help them if they actually start throwing horseshoes around back there in that advanced drunken state they seem to permanently be stuck in.
  
  there are a few other decent places in the bay front area, but my wife and I came back to this place the three nights we were in Newport.  It is incredibly cheap, with beers starting at a buck, and some head all the way north into the buck seventy five range for the good stuff.  I cant even drink that cheap at home.  The bartenders were all very nice and fun to talk to.  We are really going to miss this place.
