This place was amazing. We spent new years here and it was a memorable one. If you're in Astoria go here!! Drinks and food was amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It had an amazing sea pirate vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartender who made our drinks was amazing.

I adore their special drink ceramic cup!

I enjoy my tiki drinks so I made sure to make my way here. I adore the whimsical and specially painted tiki drink vessels. I almost wanted to have everyone order a different tiki drink so I could see how they all look like. Friendly service. Food/snacks available.

Tots and spring rolls

This was a fun place to go for drinks and appetizers! The staff were very kind and welcoming. I plan to take my cousin here on her honeymoon

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute Tiki bar I had no idea existed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I visit Astoria at least a couple times a year and have blindly walked by this cute bar on several occasions. This day we walked by and stopped in our tracks and peeked in the door. The sweet servers behind the counter greeted us and lured us in. I had trouble deciding what drink to order. I usually don't care for time drinks because 9 out of 10 times they taste over done and poorly executed. It was suggested I try Mutant Skull plus it comes in a cool mug. I loved the cocktail Mutant Skull $14 Coconut, pineapple, banana, and guava sing behind a powerful punch of rum. I also ordered Pork Sliders $12 Korean braised pork, pickled onion, fried cabbage, spicy mayo, Hawaiian sweet roll. These sliders were so soft, moist and delicious. Great pairing with the Mutant Scull Cocktail. All in all a great visit I really enjoyed the friendly staff who gave me tips on new places to go.

The unique tiles I wish they sold

We were so lucky to stop by for our first ever trip to Oregon and met Audrey who worked her magic behind the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice, tiki statues one of a kind tiles and amazingly delicious drinks served in tiki mugs as they should.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We didn't taste the food this trip but after the wonderful time there I hope we make back again. Thank you Audrey

This was a fun addition to our long-anticipated trip to Astoria, OR. Any child of the 80s knows what I mean. Adore how this fab tiki spot lovingly leans into the Goonies like Liverpool does the Beatles (if you know, you know). The decor was fun and very detailed including jade tiles handmade by the owner. While the drinks were spot on and made with great care by our bartender - may I call out how she offered almost any tail on menu (specials included) in an NA version - the food was a surprising treat. A satisfyingly warm and flavorful chicken fried rice, the meat being new to the menu. Pro tip: make sure to check out the new Japanese whiskey speakeasy upstairs - seating for 4 + standing for 2 more.

Dead Man's Grog
Shelby E.

What a fun spot! Great vibes, great drinks, and great staff! The Dead Man's Grog and Mai Thai '85 were both delicious. The rum made me forgetful, so edited to add: we went on a Thursday and reservations were definitely not needed, but it wasn't empty! I wouldn't be surprised if they fill up on a Friday night.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place! Authentic tiki bar, using premium ingredient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was friendly and knowledgeable

Such a fun speakeasy vibe with themed decor. Drinks were very sweet (which I loved but some others might not) and decently priced. The dead man's grog came in such a fun container and the mango flip was delicious.

On a beautiful spring day, we were on a meandering drive back to Seattle from a Portland weekend…read more We decided to stop in Astoria for dinner and to enjoy the view. The Knot provided the perfect combination of both. The food was excellent! In particular, we absolutely loved the pickled rockfish, salmon chowder, salted chocolate caramel custard and house-made citrus NA ginger ale. We happily enjoyed our meal while watching ships, seals, birds and ocean life. The server told us about the ships and even a podcast report to learn more about passing vessel traffic. It simply made me want to return for a longer and slower visit! Maybe to sit by the fire pit out front while watching life go by. A bonus was a (free) EV hook up adjacent to the property.

We stopped by here for a few drinks and some bread while we were walking the boardwalk in Astoria…read more The drinks were well prepared, but took a very long time to be made. We got our bread and basically finished it before we got our drinks. The bartender was new and she was looking at physical recipes to make each of our drinks. Im glad we weren't in a hurry. The view is outstanding and you can sit outside in the nice weather which we had that day because the inside is very small. We even saw a sea lion swimming off the pier as we enjoyed our drinks. A little pricey for what you get but overall still good but not somewhere I would return to with all the other options in the area.

My friend and I shared the Pesto Pizza, as well as the chicken and waffles and they were both amazing. We only stopped by on a road trip, but Xanadu might have my heart, and I already can't wait to be able to come back again ! :)

Beyond the rolling fog of the Pacific and tucked within the historic charm of Astoria, lies a sanctuary of pure and unadulterated (maybe a little bit of adulterated) perfection. It is called Xanadu, and it is quite possibly the most beautiful display of queer community I have seen in years. I have traveled across the nation and spent time in countless queer spaces from coast to coast, yet Xanadu stands in a league of its own. Imagine a world where the staff and the patrons exist in a state of authentic joy. There is no drama in sight. There are no pretenses. It is a place where people gather for the simple pleasure of a shared laugh and genuine connection. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, but it is the people who truly make it shine. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels like they belong to something meaningful. And then, there is the pizza. It is genuinely quick, thicc and fantastic! It provides the perfect fuel for an evening of celebration. In a world that often feels fractured, Xanadu offers a beautiful symphony of community and warmth. It has earned a permanent place in my heart and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone seeking a slice of heaven on the coast. If you find yourself in Astoria, do not pass this door by. You might just find the secret to happiness hidden right inside. Special shoutout to Josh and Brandon!!!

So it was our 15th anniversary and we decided to try out the nicest restaurant that we could find…read more It did not disappoint. The atmosphere inside, the decor plus the view was spectacular. We were seated at a window table, which was great. We ordered a couple drinks and a couple appetizers. The crab dip and calamari were amazing. Probably the best crab dip I've ever had. For main courses, I ordered the seared scallops and added prawns to the dish as well as a side of their chowder. So good. Melt in your mouth scallops. The chowder was some of the best I've had. My wife ordered pasta Alfredo with shrimp. She said it was amazing as well. And my daughter ordered the Boullabaisse. I've never heard of it but it's a seafood bowl that is delicious and has many seafoods inside.. almost like a soup. She loved it. Dessert was a chocolate torte and a cheesecake slice. Again, amazing. This is a must go to restaurant if you want upscale in Astoria, Oregon. It is well worth the price. And you cannot beat the atmosphere and service. It is exceptional.

This is an another great place by the sea. I really dig the vibes here. Nice and open with high…read moreceilings. I had the clams and mussels chowder and halibut cakes that weren't bad but the highlights were the crab dip with the French / Sourdough bread and the Huckleberry Lemonade . My wife had a ribeye that she said was decent. Our server was excellent. She made sure our meal met our expectations and kept checking in on us. We were surprised that we couldn't find more seafood restaurants for being on the coast.
