Add in the incredible views of the Columbia River, and it's easily one of the coolest places in Astoria to relax and enjoy a drink. The cocktails are creative, beautifully crafted, and absolutely delicious. Their clam chowder is fantastic too. Thick, hearty, and loaded with meat, with a great consistency and a rich, classic chowder flavor. There was also a subtle hint of fennel that gave it something a little different without overpowering the traditional taste. After doing a chowder crawl and trying 10 different restaurants around Astoria, I would confidently put Inferno Lounge in second place, just behind Portway Tavern. Between the amazing river views, fun atmosphere, inventive drinks, and outstanding chowder, Inferno Lounge is definitely a place worth visiting!

"Five stars for the Cannery Pier Hotel & Spa! Every little detail was thoughtfully executed to give…read moreus the best stay possible. Highlights of our trip included: * The Room & Views: Having a suite gave us great extra space, and the views of the Columbia River were unbeatable. * The Amenities: We loved the complimentary hot breakfast (with a live omelet station!), grabbing an early evening drink in the lounge, and the 7 PM cookies. * The Location: It's perfectly situated right on the river walk and just steps away from great places to eat. * The Spa: We both had incredible massages. I usually find resort massages to be hit or miss, but our therapist, Breanne, was phenomenal. She knew exactly what she was doing and finally removed a knot I've had for weeks! Highly recommend booking a stay (and a massage with Breanne)!"

The front desk staff, bartenders, and maid staff were all so friendly and helpful. Check in is a breeze and the rooms are impeccable. There is also a fresh breakfast bar every morning (and a chef that makes omelets and eggs to your liking)! The pool is situated with a great view and has an actual Swedish sauna right there for a quick steam (with water rocks and everything). I could go on and on about how amazing everything is, but the view of the bridge alone is worth the stay. Come stay here to see for yourself!

We ordered two drinks, one each and our total with tip was something around $40. Seems a little spendy but the drinks were amazing and very beautiful! The decor was interesting as it seemed like old lodge meets a Portland Whiskey Bar. I will say the bar tables we sat in were incredibly uncomfortable but all the couch seats were taken. Service was interesting.. It was a Saturday night, there were a handful of people but only one bartender. This was fine but in our 45 minutes there we went out side multiple times. When we walked in he was smoking out side, then we went out and spoke to some people in their car on the street and then went back out again. It didn't affect our service but it did seem a tad odd that he kept leaving the building.

We were seated at a window table, which was great. We ordered a couple drinks and a couple appetizers. The crab dip and calamari were amazing. Probably the best crab dip I've ever had. For main courses, I ordered the seared scallops and added prawns to the dish as well as a side of their chowder. So good. Melt in your mouth scallops. The chowder was some of the best I've had. My wife ordered pasta Alfredo with shrimp. She said it was amazing as well. And my daughter ordered the Boullabaisse. I've never heard of it but it's a seafood bowl that is delicious and has many seafoods inside.. almost like a soup. She loved it. Dessert was a chocolate torte and a cheesecake slice. Again, amazing. This is a must go to restaurant if you want upscale in Astoria, Oregon. It is well worth the price. And you cannot beat the atmosphere and service. It is exceptional.

It's surprisingly hard to find hotels that are this pet-friendly, so that was a huge plus! The building itself is beautiful, but the real highlight is booking a room facing the river. Waking up to views of the Astoria Bridge from your private patio with a cup of coffee was luxurious! We could even hear the sea lions in the distance, which made the whole experience feel peaceful and so unique. The outdoor saunas were an amazing touch and the heated floors throughout the room, made our stay extra cozy, especially if you're visiting during Oregon's colder months! They've got you covered. Within walking distance to so many restaurants and downtown Astoria, if you're planning a trip here, I can't recommend the Bowline Hotel enough. It's relaxing, romantic, pet-friendly, and the perfect place to unwind.

We got our bread and basically finished it before we got our drinks. The bartender was new and she was looking at physical recipes to make each of our drinks. Im glad we weren't in a hurry. The view is outstanding and you can sit outside in the nice weather which we had that day because the inside is very small. We even saw a sea lion swimming off the pier as we enjoyed our drinks.

If you're going to stay by the water you should come here for two reasons..... 1 )the atmosphere is cool and relaxing with great music from the 70s - early 2000s, and an amazing patio (I came in a Sunday night and it was "slow" [what I expected from a Sunday night]) 2) the bartender is awesome.

Without a single clue what to do in Astoria (first time visitors), we parked for $10 in the Port of Astoria lot on the west side of town. It was a warm day, and we were hungry, so we took to Marine Drive to look for breakfast and this was the first place we saw. It says they serve it all day. I don't think they have their own lot but street parking doesn't seem to be a premium here. Later on, we discovered that this place also made the vet staff's recommended list which was a happy coincidence. It says on the door that they don't have public restrooms, which they don't, but they do have a men's and women's restroom for customers. Nice ambiance with the nautical theme and some slot machines (is gambling legal in Astoria?). I particularly liked the piece they took from a real ship called Raven and perched a fake raven on it on the wall. Makes the little goth in my heart happy. You order at the bar and the lady who took it wasn't the friendliest. P told me in retrospect that service was slow and she had a bit of an attitude when I asked him whether this place warranted a 4 or 5. I guess she did, but all I noticed was how good the food was! The workers breakfast for $14 is outstanding! The sausage patty is luscious with a nice bite of heat. They make your eggs perfectly and they cook their potatoes skin on in a skillet that leaves the edges with a nice crisp flavorful crust. You need the toast (we both ordered dry wheat) to mop up the egg and eat with the sausage to fill you up. Honestly, haven't had a breakfast where every single element of it was all of great quality. Plus, it's an almost perfect portion of food. I know I want to go back if I can just convince P to ignore the attitude. Another cool local hangout. There was a jolly bunch of older men drinking, laughing and chatting that provided an awesome soundtrack to our visit.
