    Happy hour
    Michelle M.

    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.

    BLT wrap w/pasta salad
    Jennifer W.

    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

    Beautifully and conveniently located on the Columbia River pier. We parked about 250 feet away on 12th which was only two blocks from our evening comedy night venue, The Liberty Theatre. With our group of four arriving before 6PM meant low price happy hour snacks. So we paired colorful and tasty chips and smoky salsa with our first of day. My Bulliet Rye Manhattan was constructed well and the tasty cherry on the glass bottom was the cous de Grau! Her red blend wine pour was surprising generous too! Our server was thorough, accurate and prompt, meals magically appeared and disappeared in just a few heartbeats. My two spicy prawn tacos were all I needed to satisfy with their 6 large crustaceans; zesty sauce and cabbage mix on grilled tortillas. The Columbia River outside our tableside window capped off a delightful dining experience that I am confident, we will repeat again. The Inferno lounge is highly recommended for food quality, value price, ambiance and attentive service! One of Astoria's best watering holes that must be enjoyed at least once!

    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.

    Garlic Smash Burger
    Karl A.

    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!

    Chocolate peanut butter dessert martinis

    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.

    Martini with Pear vodka
    Buzzy B.

    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!

    Cilantro lime martini
    Emily F.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    $15 Bloody Mary. Lots of accoutrements, including shrimp, bacon and a pepperoni stick.

    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.

    Partially eaten Thanksgiving meal. The plate was loaded with food before I dug in! I forgot to take a photo before eating!
    Deanna G.

    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!

    While the service was good, the pizza was bad and got worse with every bite. We left more than half of our whole pizza on the table.

The Knot provided the perfect combination of both. The food was excellent! In particular, we absolutely loved the pickled rockfish, salmon chowder, salted chocolate caramel custard and house-made citrus NA ginger ale. We happily enjoyed our meal while watching ships, seals, birds and ocean life. The server told us about the ships and even a podcast report to learn more about passing vessel traffic. It simply made me want to return for a longer and slower visit! Maybe to sit by the fire pit out front while watching life go by. A bonus was a (free) EV hook up adjacent to the property.

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. A little pricey for what you get but overall still good but not somewhere I would return to with all the other options in the area.

What made it especially disappointing was the timing: August 8, the anniversary of Olivia Newton-John's passing. For a place named Xanadu, you'd think there might be a little more awareness of what that name means to so many fans. After giving this place chance after chance, we're done trying. There are plenty of LGBTQ+ establishments that make people feel welcome and value their customers. Sadly, our experiences here haven't been that.
