So quick heads up:
This place has been renamed: On The Rocks LLC and is a straight up liquor store.
It's a good one though.
Right on the coast, it's a good stop on the way to and from Cannon Beach and the central valley. One of the reasons we appreciated it, though, is that they had stock of a type of tequila that my partner finds very difficult to get: Don Julio 1942.
When we stopped in here, we checked out the tequila selection but didn't find it there. We passed by to talk to the clerk, who I'm pretty sure was the owner, and I saw two bottles of the Don Julio on the top shelf behind him.
That alone was great.
But we had a long conversation with him and his wife about local weather conditions, sights to see (we're local, but good intel is ALWAYS valuable), and then college sports.
The conversation was friendly and convivial and spoke to a couple of people who really enjoyed engaging with travelers, not just out to make a buck. And truthfully, my partner has gone here for years looking for this particular tequila, and always had a great experience.
Definitely pleased to have stopped by here on this day and will stop in again while en route to Cannon Beach or Astoria again. read more
