    We came in for dinner while staying the night at the McMenamins Gearhart Hotel. I made a…read morereservation about a week in advance as the Oregon Coast gets very busy during the summer months. They have a private parking lot available, plus street parking for overflow. We were greeted and seated upon entering the restaurant. The decor is typical for McMenamins locations...lots of wood, old antique light fixtures, etc. It's a warm and cozy vibe. The menu is similar to their other restaurants with a few seafood items added. We decided on the steak and mushroom bites, jojos, a cup of chowder, and the fish and chips. We enjoyed everything except the clam chowder. It was super runny and had large chunks of white onions. The onions weren't cooked long enough, in my opinion. They were still crunchy and the flavor overpowered the soup. I didn't get any seafood flavor from the clams. I definitely wouldn't order that again. I was glad I only ordered a cup. For dessert we ordered the peanut butter pie. My oh my, was it delicious! It was the star of our entire meal. I hope they never remove this from their menu! Overall a nice dinner with friendly and helpful staff. We would recommend when staying at the hotel.

    Service was absolute trash…read more I've gotten better service at McDonald's and McDonald's is garbage. Super disappointed, everyone was bothered we were even there but not bothered enough to charge us a pretty penny for their lack luster experience. We were here on vacation and excited to try it out because everyone talks so highly of McMenamins. Never again. Total train wreck!

    McMenamins is a pretty good local chain, every location has its high points that differ from others…read morebut they ALL have the same quality expectation and they deliver. This location is right on the golf course and can get pretty busy at certain times of year. One of my favorite beach towns to stay in is Gearhart, typically right across the parking lot from this McMenamins, so this location was also a must see when in town.

    We stayed at the Gearhart hotel so of course we had to experience a meal at this lower level bar…read more Don't forget to stop off here for your passport stamp. There's both street parking and a parking lot. It's quite small and quaint, mostly accessed thru a door upstairs in the hall near the restaurant or from an outside door behind the building. It's nicely decorated and didn't have a whole lot of space inside. With current social distancing standards it may be hard to get into, but that makes it a great place for a romantic meal or a quiet conversation. There's a fire place that adds to this feel. There are lots of interesting things to rest your eyes on while you hang out. I imagine most people who take advantage of this actually enjoy the outdoor area located adjacent to the hotel and the golf course. We had a meal, this location seems to share the same menu as the Sand Trap Pub which is upstairs and much larger. I've come to enjoy the vegan option of the Mystic burger. I also had a wine flight which seemed pretty reasonable at 10$. My partner had a cider which I was surprised to see came in a can, I can't recall what food he had. Our server was great and very attentive. This location closed earlier than the upstairs on our visit, but not sure what their non covid hours are like.

    This is one of our favorite kept secrets that we pop into at least 6 times a year!…read moreWe had Taren and she suggested today the pastrami burger and try their apple crab raisin coleslaw. I don't like coleslaw as a rule but this one is the best. Always clean, friendly and staff is always the best and locals are Welcoming!!

    I genuinely question how this establishment continues to operate in its current condition. Beyond…read morethe visibly run-down and unsanitary environment, there appear to be serious concerns regarding its operations and responsible service practices. The establishment is known for significantly over-pouring alcoholic beverages. While some patrons may view this as a positive, excessive alcohol service is irresponsible and raises legitimate concerns about compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Even more concerning is the apparent willingness to serve individuals who are visibly intoxicated and then allow them to leave and operate motor vehicles. This presents a serious and potentially dangerous risk to the public. The overall condition of the establishment is dirty, poorly maintained, and unacceptable. More importantly, the apparent lack of responsible alcohol service raises concerns that should not be dismissed. It is extremely troubling that these issues appear to persist without meaningful intervention. I strongly believe the appropriate city authorities and law enforcement agencies should investigate this establishment and determine whether it is operating in compliance with all applicable health, safety, liquor, and public-safety regulations. The situation warrants serious attention before someone is seriously injured or killed.
