Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Seaside

"While The Wayfarer Restaurant and Lounge may not stay open until the wee hours of the night, their whiskey lounge is worth a trip in the evening (or, in the afternoon – it’s vacation right?). Their mixologist crafts a variety of cutting-edge seasonal cocktails and classic favorites that are second to none. Start your night with a delicious fresh seafood dinner before heading out to enjoy the Oregon Coast nightlife in Cannon Beach."

"Enjoy fresh, delicious seafood with a glass of whiskey alongside the Whiskey Lounge. The Wayfarer Restaurant‘s menu focuses on high quality, local, and seasonal ingredients. Known for their troll-caught salmon, these dishes encapsulates classic coastal eats for all: breakfast, lunch, and dinner."

"The goal at Fort George Brewery + Public House is to provide the highest quality craft beer and wholesome seasonal food for everyone to enjoy. We are proud to offer many handmade items on our menu, which are prepared from scratch by our employees. The upstairs pub space features its own wood-fired menu and great views."

"Fort George Brewery and Public House operates from within Fort Astoria which marks the site of the first American establishment on the west coast. The brewery specializes in beers and offers more than 40 different varietals."

"The Fort has the best selection of big beers that you are likely to find in the NW. The service is friendly as well. Try the sausage sampler with the IPA."

Located in the heart of this charming coastal town, Driftwood Restaurant and Lounge is perhaps best known for their spacious and sun-drenched outdoor patio overlooking the action on Main Street. This is the perfect place to soak up the sun or huddle by the fire pit with a glass of red wine on a cooler day."

"I must say that this is the type of place where they treat you like a local whether you are or not. I enjoyed the people here. Food was nice and deliciou..."

"Situated just out of downtown Astoria, this museum overlooks the Columbia River. It is kid-friendly and showcases the contemporary maritime history of the state of Oregon in a great manner. The cultural, natural, and historical features of the Columbia River are exhibited by the museum in the form of historic cannons and artifacts found in the sand."

"The Columbia River Maritime Museum sits right on the Columbia River in Astoria. It showcases the history of the area and the Columbia River bar. The Columbia River Bar is one of the most dangerous passages in the world."

"You’ll find a few companies offering tours to Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock, along with additional scenic spots on the coast including Short Sand Beach at Oswald West State Park, Neahkahnie Point, and Manzanita (on my list for next time). Check it out and sign up here!. Just note that these tours are usually more of a full day, so you’ll need to add the following activities elsewhere on your Portland itinerary."

"This full-day trip from Portland is focused on exploring Oregon’s scenic northern coastline, with stops at Oswald West State Park, Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach, and Manzanita. Expect to see wind-swept rocky beaches, picturesque winding roads, sweeping coastal views, and charming beach towns. The tour usually includes visits to quaint little shops and art galleries. Sounds like your cup of tea?"

"This local whiskey bar — one location in Cannon Beach and one in Manzanita — is among our favorite Oregon Coast nightlife hotspots, especially for those who prefer an intimate setting while enjoying some of the finest spirits and handcrafted cocktails. The hours at both locations differ (Cannon Beach is typically open later), but they both offer incredible selections of spirits, including whiskey, cocktails, wine, and beer!. Their authentic Irish cuisine includes a delicious charcuterie board that we highly recommend."

"Choose from over 200 bottles of scotch and whiskey at MacGregor’s Whiskey Bar and Restaurant. There’s also a full bar and a menu that features locally sourced products."

"Fulio’s Pastaria & Delicatessen is open for both lunch a dinner. Their belief is that having the freshest ingredients cooked in the simplest manner produces the tastiest food. Along with appetizers like caprese and Ciabatta e olio, there are salad and sandwich options."

"This 1.5-mile out and back trail is said to be an easy hike for all skill levels. It features views of beautiful wildflowers, numerous activity options, and ends at the Astoria Column (#1). Not only is it free to use, but it is also kid-friendly and dog-friendly."

"A tiny drive-in burger shop, Custard King channels vintage charm and serves a variety of straightforward burgers — including a pretty immaculate bacon cheeseburger — plus, fries, fish and chips, tacos, chicken strips, and chowder. Those with a sweet tooth can find the iconic frozen custard that gives the venerable drive-in its name, along with a selection of shakes and malts. Summertime offers some outdoor seating for the baskets of thick burgers and crispy, golden fries, but in more inclement weather it’s best to take it to go."
