Getting our drink on!
Trista B.

My girlfriend and I were staying the night here at the Gearhart Hotel and as soon as we got checked in popped over to the Pot Bunker Bar...it was pretty late and it was us and another couple in the bar, however it was still SO much fun! Its a little space, but a super cute bar and in typical McMenamins fashion lots of cool/creepy/historical/fascinating things to look at! We had a super fun enjoyable night here, with good drinks and great company so Pot Bunker Bar gets a 5 star from me! We were looking at the drink menu and decided to get a couple of their "special" cocktails...both were very good! I can't remember what mine was called, it was the yellow drink in the pictures, I just remember it had Elderflower something-or-other in it...and it was great! Really good tasty drinks, and pretty to photograph too! Above when I mentioned good company, well that was mostly due to our most amazing bartender, I believe her name was Carol. She was wonderful, such a joy to talk to AND made great drinks as well! She made our night so much fun, and the other couple that was in the bar was also super fun and friendly too, so it was all-around just a good time...I for sure recommend the Pot Bunker Bar for some good drinks and an enjoyable night out!

Spanish coffee to go

Took a spontaneous trip to the coast the last weekend of February. The weather was sunny, surprisingly warm for the year, had some wind but that was manageable. My husband and I have a McMenamins passport so it was really fun to check out the different places here. Going to the Pot Bunker was fun with trying to find it. It was incredibly relaxing to pull up a chair next to the fireplace and sip on my Spanish coffee.

Love love love McMenamins but this location could really benefit from having their cooks shadow and learn from their other properties. The clam chowder at McMenamins is hands down my absolute favorite. This location served chowder that was see thru and tasted very sweet. No one at the table could eat their chowder. Full bowls left on the table by everyone. Just a friendly warning in the event your coming here with an expectation of McMenamins tasting food based on their other locations.

We had a quick beer and a lot of fun with the bartender Brooklyn. She was easy going and cool. Definitely staff to Gold on to.

This is such a gem on the Oregon Coast. I was recently spending some time in Seaside, and…read moreDaughter's is in Gearhart, which is just the town north of Seaside, so pretty quick to get there. It's great to go in the late afternoon or early evening during "golden hour" and sit outside when the weather is nice. The garden doesn't have a view, but it's a nice garden that lets you breathe in the ocean air. The owner is super friendly and helpful, and they stock mostly Oregon and Washington wine, so you get a good Pacific Northwest taste. I had two different glasses, and they were both good and easy to drink. I also got some snacks. The snacks menu is pretty basic and not that extensive, but it's presented in a charming and quaint way. Very homey but sophisticated at the same time. If you like wine and you're in the area, definitely worth checking out.

The owner, Megan, is quick to suggest the perfect pour for any mood and exudes an infectious energy that puts the bar at the top of my list for a perfect evening. You'll walk in as a visitor, but you'll leave as a friend. It's rare to find a place where locals, seasonal residents, and tourists all feel welcome. Make the time to visit Daughters, you'll be glad you did.

Stopped by for an early weeknight dinner as a family of three. We sat out on the deck and had…read morefriendly , prompt service. Three of us enjoyed our food, all items were hot, well seasoned, and overall solid flavor. Side note, I appreciate their clam chowder didn't have bacon. Only thing I would have changed is the drink I ordered, I wasn't a fan of their seltzer. I don't know why this place has such a low rating, if it's because of slow service, we gotta realize staffing is tough all over the coast. Would come back again, regardless of the day and time.

We came in for dinner while staying the night at the McMenamins Gearhart Hotel. I made a…read morereservation about a week in advance as the Oregon Coast gets very busy during the summer months. They have a private parking lot available, plus street parking for overflow. We were greeted and seated upon entering the restaurant. The decor is typical for McMenamins locations...lots of wood, old antique light fixtures, etc. It's a warm and cozy vibe. The menu is similar to their other restaurants with a few seafood items added. We decided on the steak and mushroom bites, jojos, a cup of chowder, and the fish and chips. We enjoyed everything except the clam chowder. It was super runny and had large chunks of white onions. The onions weren't cooked long enough, in my opinion. They were still crunchy and the flavor overpowered the soup. I didn't get any seafood flavor from the clams. I definitely wouldn't order that again. I was glad I only ordered a cup. For dessert we ordered the peanut butter pie. My oh my, was it delicious! It was the star of our entire meal. I hope they never remove this from their menu! Overall a nice dinner with friendly and helpful staff. We would recommend when staying at the hotel.

Excited to find live music early on a Sunday night at this cozy wine bar. Stopped in for the last…read moreset about 7pm, owner was manning the tiny bar cranking out craft cocktails and special homemade sangria flavors by herself. Two guitar pickers who traveled all the way from Arkansas were playing elevated folk rock on electric guitars to a crowd of maybe 14. Comfy sofas around the edges of the bar, and some small tables with tropical theme chairs. Two tables right on the Riverwalk outside the door. Full bar with liquor, surprisingly. Clearly a locals crowd, the last set was a twenty minute encore, and a local musician joined on the drum kit. Owner too? Awesome! I had a sangria in a Mai Tai flavor with coconut and pineapple, it was spectacular. Like nothing I have tasted before, and leaving me wanting to try ALL SIX flavors! Lyon's Den is an awesome find, a vacation themed tropical escape. I wish there was a bar like this back home in Phoenix!

The owners were…read moresuper friendly, the venue was cozy and unpretentious, the cover charge was reasonable, the buffet-style food was delicious, and the sangria flight was very tasty. We saw a Portland-based Brazilian duo playing live music, and really enjoyed ourselves. I plan to return next time I visit the area!
