    McMenamins is a pretty good local chain, every location has its high points that differ from others…read morebut they ALL have the same quality expectation and they deliver. This location is right on the golf course and can get pretty busy at certain times of year. One of my favorite beach towns to stay in is Gearhart, typically right across the parking lot from this McMenamins, so this location was also a must see when in town.

    We stayed at the Gearhart hotel so of course we had to experience a meal at this lower level bar…read more Don't forget to stop off here for your passport stamp. There's both street parking and a parking lot. It's quite small and quaint, mostly accessed thru a door upstairs in the hall near the restaurant or from an outside door behind the building. It's nicely decorated and didn't have a whole lot of space inside. With current social distancing standards it may be hard to get into, but that makes it a great place for a romantic meal or a quiet conversation. There's a fire place that adds to this feel. There are lots of interesting things to rest your eyes on while you hang out. I imagine most people who take advantage of this actually enjoy the outdoor area located adjacent to the hotel and the golf course. We had a meal, this location seems to share the same menu as the Sand Trap Pub which is upstairs and much larger. I've come to enjoy the vegan option of the Mystic burger. I also had a wine flight which seemed pretty reasonable at 10$. My partner had a cider which I was surprised to see came in a can, I can't recall what food he had. Our server was great and very attentive. This location closed earlier than the upstairs on our visit, but not sure what their non covid hours are like.

    What this has going for it is that scenery. I do feel that the staff focuses on locals rather than…read morethose of us just going in for a drink. I wish they had a better choice of beer so I didn't have to get Bud Light (lager), but you get what you get at, do I dare say, dive bars. Hmmmm, would you call this a dive bar? Except for the location, all arrows point to yes. They have video poker but it is usually pretty full. This is definitely a popular place. Even though it's not the best service and not enough seats, I will come back because of the location. Maybe they'll get an actual lager on tap.

    This place has a cool location and the inside isn't bad. If you're not a local, good luck getting…read moreserved. I was there last week, made eye contact with bartender (Rebecca) three times. Not once did she acknowledge me, just a slight smirk and went around the whole bar asking everyone if they needed refills, even some who still had full drinks. Then started to have a convo with a man at the end of the bar. She knew I was there. Finally I waved and asked if I could get a drink and she rolled her eyes and said yes. What is with this girl? What kinda game is that? Rude The only reason I'm giving two stars and not one is because another employee came in when she left and while he was nicer, was still only chatting it up with locals and I had to interrupt their conversation to be served.
