Shipyard Bar & Grill

I can only review the establishment as we didn't eat here and I only got water.

I liked the bar itself. The ceilings were high and there was a cool loft area overlooking the bar. The pool table was free. I can really see this place getting rowdy if it had the right crowd. Unfortunately, there was no crowd the night we visited.

We had planned on eating here, but the menu left much to be desired. As we were considering the food, other patrons entered, perused the menu and left. Since the bartender was too engrossed in conversation with two male patrons, we didn't feel feel comfortable interupting and asking about the food quality.

The women's bathroom smelled like low tide. I had to hold my breath the whole first time and I didn't bother going a second.

If I were an Astoria local, I would probably frequent this bar. But since I'm not, I doubt I will be back.

I knew this is a sports bar, what I didn't know was how good the food is. Hand-breaded Alaskan halibut (4) very large pieces, cold slaw, cheese bread, and I ordered sweet potato fries which comes with homemade dipping sauce. OMG, enough leftovers for dinner tonight. The tarter sauce for the fish was not over powering and allowed the fresh flavor of fish to come through. I will visit again... Thank you!

I love this place!  It has true Oregon style, good people, good food and good fun!  If you can't appreciate that - don't visit the Oregon Coast!
