We sat at the bar so service was excellent and everything came out quickly. The ladies working the bar were very friendly and checked in often. The spot in a typical dive bar feel. The dollar bills on the ceiling were probably my favorite part. I'm not out in Vernonia often but whenever I am I'll definitely stop back in for another drink.

Great comfort food and lots of it for very reasonable prices. Outstanding wait staff! Parking can be a little tight but go around the corner and there is lots of parking if you don't mind walking a half a block. The sub shop next door has lots of parking but they get a bit snippy if bar patrons park there. For me it's a burger, fries and a Colorado koolaid. They do have a full menu but when I find something I like I tend to stick with it.

We were the first ones there so we chose an outside table. Nice space with the fire table. It's a little off the street so everyone isn't in your business The drinks from the bar were not very good. Also the server was not very knowledgeable of the food or the drinks. We got some duck tacos on special. They were amazing. Ok. Things are looking up. Then the showstopper was the meat and cheese board. So beautiful and well explained and lots of handmade wares on. One of the best, if not the best, board I've had. Top notch. So why the bad reviews. We got to chat with the proprietor and we definitely caught them at a bad time. They are having some transitions in staff so if you're willing to be patient, it's worth a shot

I don't drink much so I appreciated not being knocked on my ass and it wasn't too sweet. Some may feel lack of alcohol it's not worth $10. Service was quick but it was 11:15ish and not bust yet. Two servers - guy and gal. The gal was plenty nice. When I finished my meal I sat there for a bit and waited to pay. I wanted to go, the only server around was the male, so finally I lifted my card and waved at a male server. He was standing chatting with someone - not busy. He said -- I don't know what that means. Really? Is there some other meaning? Perhaps I was having a seizure? :). My $6 20% tip just fell to $4. Should I have just sat there until someone noticed I was done? Oh well I'll try somewhere else tomorrow. Sandcastle event is fun. Hint: come on Friday stay the night for the event on Sat. Parking is limited - small town.

So yes, we do recommend spending time here. ** I wish they had lounge chairs.

Unfortunately, it's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we planned to visit later in the afternoon on Wednesday. When we arrived, the parking area was empty. I walked up to the front door and stepped inside. I immediately noticed the fire crackling in the fireplace. I told the staff member I'd be right back after getting my wife. At the time, the only person inside was the McMenamins employee. The space itself is small and cozy, with two booths, about four tables, and seating for around five at the bar. There's also outdoor seating with a fireplace, though it wasn't lit during our visit. When my wife came in, she was absolutely delighted. She walked straight over and stood in front of the fire, soaking it in. We took seats at the bar near the fireplace and asked about their offerings. The bartender provided menus, which feature a small but appealing selection of appetizers, pizzas, subs, and desserts, along with a modest drink list. We'd already eaten, but I ordered a pint of their Hammerhead. As we sat by the fire, we chatted with the bartender/server, who shared a bit about the place and the nearby Kalama Harbor Lodge. A few other groups came in while we were there, but after I finished my beer, we decided to head out. Overall, we both thought this was a really charming little spot, warm, welcoming, and well worth checking out. Highly recommend!

We would definitely go back if we are in the area and I would recommend it. While I initially didn't think I would feel comfortable in a place like this, I was quickly proven wrong.
