Inferno Lounge is such a fun and memorable place! The modern inferno theme, darker décor, and lively vibe create an atmosphere that feels both stylish and unique. 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! read more

Haven't eaten here yet. But stopped twice for great cocktails. The place, staff, and views are all great. Such a friendly and helpful team working here. They even remembered us when we stopped in for the second time in as many days. They offer a great happy hour on food and drinks 7 days a week! It's cozy, fun, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend for a drink! I'll follow up on the food after I eat there. read more

2nd time here and it's even more fun in the daylight! Asked for a pear martini but got a regular martini with pear vodka- I'll be more clear next time! read more

We were heading back to the valley and stopped in Astoria for breakfast/lunch. The view of the river is hands down gorgeous! The service was welcoming and the atmosphere & decor were nostalgic. I am always curious on cold salad options and can never go wrong with breadsticks so I tried both! Their BLT wrap was also delicious..We will be back to try more options off the menu read more

Fun place, great food. No big ice cubes, maraschino liqueur, or either chartreuse but fun house infused liquors. We will be back and want to try their breakfast for sure. read more

Came here for the Bloody Mary plus the decent menu to find out it is 21 and over only. Fortunately our teens didn't mind waiting in the car (great parenting, I know) the Bloody Mary was too ... extra... in my option. Trying to do too much with it. Not terrible, but I wouldn't go back. In fact, we ended up at Hanthorn Public House on pier 39 and thought theirs were much better. I will say that the ambiance at Inferno was awesome. Sat right on the water with large windows to take in the view. read more

Cool place with friendly staff. The view is great as well. I came in for a drink a couple of times during my stay. I didn't try the food but there is always next time. I had a cherry vanilla whiskey with ginger ale as recommend and the second time a manhattan. They have a great menu and decent happy hour deals. They also have a corner with slot machines. If you travel through Astoria I'd recommend stopping in. read more

Fun night with friends while in Astoria. This place was a fantastic find! Such nice servers and bartender made our experience fun with the great suggestions for cocktails. They have food available too. They don't have dessert so I got a dessert cocktail "peanut butter chocolate" martini! Husband got a Spicy Bloody Mary that was loaded with things on top. read more

This was a great restaurant! We were greeted warmly when we walked in and grabbed a nice high top table with a view. The service was great, and we had an order in fast. We shared a black currant hard cider and it was smooth and delicious. The garlic burger was sooo good, cooked well, with just the right amount of garlic. The flavor balance was awesome. The views from inside were great too, it was so nice to see across the river, but to not have to be out in the cold! Great location, great food, great service! read more

This is hands-down, the best martini I've ever had! We heard the people next to us order a cilantro lime martini from the bar and had to try it. It was perfect! A must try if you appreciate those flavors! When we went, it was in the evening and we got booth seating right on the ocean. It was such a fun vibe in there. The service was great. Our waiter was amazing. Could not recommend more! read more

Came in for the first time on a gorgeous sunny day. We arrived at 11AM for lunch and sat by the door on the riverside. That way we had the breeze and all the windows to watch the action. Always something new on the Columbia River! Started off with a cold pilsner and chatted with our server Vanessa (5 star). We ordered a HUGE nacho plate and Thai penne with bacon. The penne was delicious and took some home with us. The nachos were just average (we live in the Southwest). The place has its own vibe, welcoming and clean. read more

Located on Pier #11 in Astoria in Oregon, we arrived late so it was pretty dark, too bad we didn't have such a long day sightseeing, it would have been a beautiful sight looking out of the window seeing Washington state across with the view. I ordered the bowl of clam chowder which was good and came out nice and hot, it was flavorful only thing it could use more clam meat, other than that it was worth it! The nachos came and it was huge even 3 of us couldn't finish that order and it came with 3 type of colorful chips and the side condiments you can order on the side which was nice because it didn't make the chips soggy, the only thing is that you pay extra if you want guacamole or salsa or sour cream and they sell it by side large or small containers. They also had some slot machine, if you wanted to gamble. Staff were friendly and service was great! read more

Food is delicious and flavorful, though it does vary in flavor from chef to chef. Drinks are well made as long as you get one of the younger bartenders, happy hour is always welcomed and the ambience is incredible, best in the evening in my opinion. read more

Inferno Lounge - Whiskey sour and a view - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Came here as a last spur of the moment option. I will now come here first when I come to Astoria. Came to Astoria on a spontaneous date and tried to go to two different places that sadly closed before I got there. I found this place on here and couldn't have been happier. Walked in to a quaint bar with aesthetically pleasing decor, and a warm welcome from the bartender. It was slightly busy inside so I sat at a side table until I could get a water-view seat. Even with it being busy I was met, served my drinks, food, and had time to enjoy the view all within a timely manner. The weather and sunset permitted a lovely view. Although I imagine a stormy night here would be so pleasing. Now.. the vending machine. I LOVE a good vending machine. Theirs.. it's the best I've seen yet, and I've seen over my fair share of quirky vending machines. I wish I had came on a day the business next to the front door entrance were open as well. I will be back. 11/10 I even saw a seal! read more

Update: 12/17/25 We visited the Inferno Lounge this week, and it was amazing! Our server, Josh, was excellent. Our food was great, which included the French Dip, the Garlic Penne Pasta and a Bacon Cheeseburger. We enjoyed all of them, especially the side salads we ordered. But the drinks stole the show! We ordered a couple different drinks, and they were all fabulous, including the Peanut Butter Martini, Cherry Blosdom Kamikazi and one of their Signature Blood Marys. We'll be back. Our only complaint was the building was a little cold. By the end of our meal, we were all wearing our jackets. Which is weird, considering we were sitting in the 'Inferno' lounge. read more

We decided to celebrate Thanksgiving this year at the Inferno Lounge. It was the only local place that didn't require a reservation, so we decided to throw caution to the wind and see if we could get a table. We got there early and a line was already forming to get it. We were able to snag a table with a fantastic view. Most of the tables have great views of the Columbia River. Besides their Thanksgiving special, they were also offering regular menu items. Since it was Thanksgiving we all ordered that special. What a delicious plate, too! Moist and flavorful turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, perfectly cooked asparagus, small portion of cranberry sauce, gravy and a soft, squishy dinner roll. Great portion, too. The only thing missing were sweet potatoes. Excellent meal, great, friendly service and a table with a view! And no clean up for me! How cool is that?! Thank you, Inferno Lounge, for a delicious, and relaxing Thanksgiving. P.S. I was so excited about my food, I forgot to take a photo before digging in! The plate truly was full before I dug in! They also served us some delicious Wassail! So tasty! read more

Went there based on reviews and was not disappointed! We met friends before a performance at Liberty Theater, and it was early, so still happy hour. Decided on the happy hour shrimp tacos and they were the best I've ever had! Based on expectations of the size of happy hour items, we ordered too much food and ended up taking quite a bit home. The drinks were crazy good, too! Highly recommend, and we'll be back again. read more

The best for after hours in Astoria. As a town Astoria shuts down pretty early. This Bar has great food, house infused spirits and a killer Bloody Mary that's garnishes count as a meal! And open later than most things in town. read more

Great view, great service, excellent clam chowder. Sat by the window overlooking the Columbia River, which was lovely. I only ordered the clam chowder, but it was rich, creamy, and really hit the spot. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Definitely a nice place to stop for comfort food and a view. read more

This space is absolutely a treat for the eyes. Rippling lights like flames dance across the entire bar along with sparkling, spinning chandeliers overhead. This felt like the ultimate cool kid date night space and oozed sexiness. The service was helpful and really kind. The nachos are massive--so be forewarned. Would definitely return. read more

Stopped here on a whim when I was in Astoria for a few hours and wanted to eat somewhere by the water. This place had a very good vibe and the staff were all so nice and friendly. I loved my server who had pink hair (and I didn't get their name) but honestly 10/10 service with a smile that seemed truly kind. I got the burger with a side salad and was very happy with both. And the view of the water just made it all better. If I ever come back to Astoria, I'll be sure to dine at Inferno Lounge again. read more

My wife and I stopped into Inferno Lounge for a quick drink and light bite while heading to Cannon Beach. Free parking can be found in the surrounding area. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Narrow perimeter outdoor seating is available. Indoor décor leans towards gothic with deep and dark colors. The lower-level seating area offers a beautiful view of the water and mountains. Happy Hour is offered Sunday-Thursday from 4pm-6pm. Inferno Lounge offers a full bar along with specialty cocktails. Menu offers a variety of food choices from sandwiches to seafood ensuring there is a favorite for all. During our visit, I had a glass of St. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc for $13. My wife had a Jameson on the rocks for $8. We shared the Crab & Prawn Cocktail for $39.75: 6 jumbo prawns, Dungeness Crab, vodka cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge. Our lunch choice was visually tempting and quite delightful. Our server was friendly but extremely slow. I got the impression that Inferno Lounge was short-staffed. Overall, we both enjoyed our quick lunch stop at Inferno Lounge while road-tripping. read more

If you haven't been here you are certainly missing out. When you walk in you feel at home. It's like being in a lounge in the 60's. The view is spectacular to watch the ships come and go. The food is great and plenty of it and the drinks are magical. But the best thing is Jane our mixologist supreme. She always has a smile and will definitely take care of you. So stop in, relax and let Jane take care of you. read more

Food and service here are fine, but as a cocktail bar, this place sucks. They have a nice range of infused spirits, but no real cocktail menu. They encourage you to be "creative", but they can't follow through on it. We've been there three times and they've screwed up the drinks every time. They can't be bothered to look up drinks they don't know, so they just make something and give it to you apparently hoping you won't notice you didn't get what you asked for. On our last trip (which will be our very last), my partner asked for a specific drink with rum, flavored whisky, and flavored vodka. They copped out and gave him a whisky and coke. The only saving grace was they didn't charge an arm and a leg for it. read more

Stopped in here for a couple drinks and ordered a couple non-menu cocktails. A simple gin gimlet with Hendrick's gin and this place charged me $29 per drink, which is about the same as an entire bottle of Hendrick's. Their most expensive menu drink is $14. No heads up, no communication. Just gouging. Combined with slow service. Go to the Bowline. Same view, better service, honest pricing. read more

Stopped in for a little snack and drinks while waiting for our bus to back to Portland. We sat by the windows facing the river and it was just a gorgeous view of the water and the boats out there.

Very cozy, old school spot right on the water. Great views, good cocktails, and great music too! Highly recommend, if only for the view.

I am in Astoria on a work trip and read reviews on this place and thought it sounded like a good place. I ordered the nachos with the added cost of tri tip ($16.50 extra) which cost nearly $35. I had about 2-3 oz of meat and limited toppings. It was a plate full of chips for $35. I have never spent that much on nachos before and will never again after this experience. I was thinking it was going to be a loaded mess for that cost?! The prawns were pretty decent but I ended up not ordering a drink after I saw the nachos. $58 for one person to eat without alcoholic beverages. That's a spendy dinner that did not come close to filling me up. I do not recommend this place at all for food. read more
