Dead Man's Isle is a vibe. Low-key tiki den energy, complete with a pufferfish lamp glowing over our seats. I went with the Cobra's Fang it was boozy, fruity, a little spicy just as described, and served in the most perfect tiki mug (that snake face was almost too cute to drink out of). Tasted great, but like any good tiki drink, it's sneaky strong, pace yourself. They've got a fun food menu too, but I was too full to try anything sooo next time. With a drink list this deep (multiple Mai Tai riffs, a Zombie, a Volcano Bowl for the table), I'll definitely be back to work my way through it. Service was solid and they had their hands full while we were there and still took great care of us. read more

Cute little tiki bar in the center of Astoria with all the usual tiki drinks (Zombie, Mai Tai, Rum Barrel, etc). You can also order snack type food (fried tofu, pot stickers, sweet potato fries). We sat at the bar to enjoy the ambiance and watch the drinks being made. We ordered the Mac Nut ChiChi, Rum Barrel, and a 1944 Mai Tai. They were good and served in cute tiki mugs. Everyone working was friendly and over all it was just a good atmosphere with tiki decorations and a lightning storm that goes off every so often. They even have a tiny Japanese Whisky bar (upstairs) is that's more your thing read more

Where to even begin. I loved everything about this place. The decor and lighting were perfect. The cocktail menu was fun. I ordered a volcano not realizing it would be served in a glass that looks like a volcano and lit on fire. Pretty cool. My husband had an authentic Mai tai, SO good. The snack mix was delicious, I could have eaten a whole bag of it. I wish we had had more time to spend in the upstairs bar. It had a Godzilla theme and I honestly would have started my visit up there if I had known. Bartenders downstairs did encourage us to go up and check it out but there's gotta be a better way to let people know how cool it is upstairs right as they first walk in the door. read more

What a cool find! This was a fun pirate themed bar with signature/souvenir cups that are made right next door. Cool things that reminded us of cult classic movies and things from our childhood. The drinks were tasty, the service was good. Check out this fun place if you are in Astoria. read more

Wow! The drinks in this tiki bar are absolutely amazing! We got to the door upon opening on a Sunday afternoon. The place was instantly full. We sat at the bar. We ordered food and drinks. Everything was great! If we are backing the area, we will definitely return. read more

I pride myself on knowing my tiki bars. Having traveled to and sought a great many across the country and this my friend, just might be my favorite. First let's talk about the ambience of this place. I mean, let's face it. You can have crappy cocktails with killer ambience, and be successful. But this place delivers on both. My favorite part is that they have a real regional theme to their custom made mugs. And then there's the cocktails. They truly deliver on flavor, recipe, creativity, and the key to any good tiki cocktail is, of course the name. We've come in and sat at the bar, which was a delight, and then we also sat at a table. Service was great, no matter where we sat. We have yet to go upstairs for the sake tasting going on up there. Next time! read more

We absolutely love this bar! The ambience is so good. The cocktails are amazing and the staff is always so nice. The Asian nut mix is tasty!!! read more

The wife and I showed up back to back nights! We ended up really enjoying this spot and will come back just for it. On the second night, we discovered another establishment upstairs and will have to make a stop next time. Probably our favorite spot in Astoria now. The bartender/server was friendly and was easy to chat with. The drink? Even better. The cocktails are served in creative, artistic style cups bound to catch your attention. I believe they're made locally as well? :) We ordered spam musubis and something else I can't remember at the moment lol, but they were good. If you're hungry I'd order a snack, but I could just do drinks here. Check them out! read more

Cute Tiki bar I had no idea existed. 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. read more

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. read more

I loved the tiki vibe of this place! Great decor, very cool tiki mugs (thanks to Muntiki) The food was really good, vegetarian and vegan options clearly marked on the menu. Can't review the alcohol, but the bartender Charlie made me a mocktail that was AMAZING served in a really cool Tiki mug. read more

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

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. read more

Dead Man’s Isle - Dead Man's Grog - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

My wife and I came back for a second visit, because we really wanted to love this place, as it definitely delivers on atmosphere. But this time it wasn't the drinks that were the issue; it was that the service drifted along at a pace that came off as borderline aloof. There was a lot of extended chit-chat with customers while making drinks, which would certainly be charming if that was you talking to the bartender and not someone else still waiting on your drink for 15 minutes. The cocktails are made with skill, I'm sure, but the paradoxical waiting while seeing absolutely zero urgency on a busy evening caused us to bounce. Note: the bar upstairs isn't any quicker - we timed the bartender for a single drink... it took this man just under 3 minutes to make one drink while 4 patrons waited in a queue at the bar. For those not in the know: that is a ludicrous amount of time. As a former restaurant owner and bartender, I can safely say that the indifference to expediency here comes off as arrogant. To be fair, this place would be great if you're just looking to soak up a vibe. Less great if you came in actually thirsty. If that's you, maybe come on a Tuesday in February, because it is a cool looking spot. read more

We always try to stop by when we are coming through Astoria because we enjoy it so much. Always fun drinks and good food. This time we got to try the new Japanese whiskey bar located upstairs. There are 4 stools to sit at the bar and another area to stand. As with the Tiki Bar downstairs, it is always good to make reservations, especially on the weekend. Our bartender was awesome. He explained the different Japanese cocktails and whiskey. There are many different ones to try depending on your likes. You can also order a Tiki drink from downstairs as well as food. My husband got a refreshing highball and a whiskey neat to try. He enjoyed both. I got the Mutant Skull cocktail. It was delicious and served in one of their locally made mugs. As for food I got the pork fried rice, which seemed to be a never ending bowl of deliciousness. I also appreciated the fun hot sauce and chili condiments up in the Japanese bar to try. My husband got the Loco Moco. It comes with a savory curry gravy which kicks it up a notch from just the standard brown gravy. I would order both again. Don't forget to check out the locally made tiki mugs for sale in the case and the tiki mug vending machine in the back. read more

Good Tiki bar with all the classics well represented among with some interesting inventions. I only tried some spring rolls but they were tasty. Friendly bar staff and pretty easy to just drop in for a drink or three. Recommended if you're in Astoria. read more

Was looking for some fun drinks while in the area and yelped this location. The awesome cups that brought me in. Unfortunately, when I got my drink, it wasn't in a fun cup, and I was very disappointed as that is the whole reason I went to the location. A regular next to me told me that you have to ask for a special cup, which is silly, so I ended up having to ask her to pour my drink into one of the fun cups. All in all, it's a good drink, just annoyed. You have to ask for a fun cup, and don't just automatically get one. I did learn, though, that there aren't all multiples of cups due to some of the mugs being from the owners own collection. read more

Tiki? Yes, please. You'll find a true love of rum here. The glassware is on point. The staff are friendly and want you to find a cocktail that fits your taste and needs. I heard them training a newbie and discussing allergies to everything from nuts to pineapple. When drinking tiki, please be aware of such things, but they can also guide you. It's absolutely adorable here. Such a lovely bar with the true tiki vibe. It's so adorable here, and they even do fun events, including DJs that know Exotica music. Hello Martin Denney.

We came in at 8:30 as a party of two on Saturday night. We were able to be seated right away despite there being lots of people! We enjoyed the decor, the bar and the art. The art studio next door actually makes all of the tiki mugs that they use! They even have a a TIKI MUG VENDING MACHINE, so bring $20 in cash! We are still kicking ourselves that we did not have any cash on us for the machine. Their bar features cocktails that mostly feature rum, but there are rum free options as well. If you are a rum plantation lover, this is the place you want to be. I ordered two drinks here- Purple orchid-blooms in your mouth. It is very flowery with just the right amount of sweet that doesn't overshadow the gin. It takes no guesswork to taste the peach, passion fruit, lime, ginger and gin. Cobra's Fang- this is spicy as in botanical. This is very flavorful, balanced and packs a punch! We not only appreciated the ambiance, but we talked to the bartenders about how Dead Man's Isle came to be. This is not only an absolute Astoria must do, but for anyone who loves tiki & rum bars-this is hands down the best one we have ever been to. We cannot come back soon enough. read more

Update. Finally made it back!! This is one of the most beautiful bars I've seen! Went mainly to see the upstairs Yakimon bar, but the tiki-esque vibe downstairs was so fun that we had drinks down there too. The drinks are rum-centric, which is what you'd expect walking into a tropical vibes/tiki kind of place like this. There were also a few non-rum drinks on the menu if you're not into it. Super welcoming atmosphere, fantastic tiki mugs, fantastic staff, and a great rum selection! Don't even get me started on the Japanese whisky upstairs, yum. read more

We got the pina colada and jungle bird cocktails and enjoyed them both, and they don't skimp on the alcohol. We tried three of the food dishes, and we were impressed with them all.

I cannot get enough of this place! No seriously, I went 3 times in a week. Granted, one of those times was because I left my purse there and had to drive 3 hours from Seattle to get it, BUT it made for another lovely excuse to try more of their amazing cocktails and enjoy the fun atmosphere they have! Also I cannot speak highly enough of their staff, especially Jamie! He made sure my purse was safe, was so exceptionally kind and funny, and was also very patient with me while I picked out tiki mugs to buy. He even gave my husband and I a couple free t-shirts after our long drive back to pick up my purse, which was a sweet way to take the edge off of 6hrs of driving in one day. Also, a few notes if you're a tiki bar fan like my husband and I: this is a high quality tiki bar owned by a well-known tiki mug artist, and it's very clear their art extends far beyond mugs. The bar itself is so beautifully detailed, with unique local flare and some fun shoutouts to The Goonies, and the drinks are exceptional in quality and presentation. Their food menu is also very tasty, we really loved the Togarashi Tots! Next time you're in Astoria, don't miss this hidden gem! Or the chance to meet Jamie! read more
