Little small but the staff makes it feel exclusive and welcoming. The fire places are nice, didn't know they had a back patio until we were leaving. Next time! read more

A fantastic place to relax and enjoy an amazing meal and a delicious drink. Everyone is so friendly and the food is excellent quality. Fantastic atmosphere with people who know what they're talking about. The best lobster bisque I've ever had and their cheese boards are simply divine. Can't wait to go back again and again. read more

This is a classy yet casual bar with fantastic service, delicious cocktails, and wonderful food. We visit here multiple times on our trips to Manzanita. Try the generous charcuterie board and the honey goat cheese. We are also fans of the secret family recipe Robert The Bruce! read more

Friendly service, good food (we had the pate board, pretzels, pasty and sticky toffee cake) and an extensive drinks menu. Definitely recommend if you're in town! read more

We were in town for a wedding when they happened to be opening, and we stole the groom for some whiskey before he had to go home and get some sleep. Such a great little place with a HUGE list of whiskeys and great cocktails. I got a Mac's Old Fashioned, and my husband and friend got a bourbon flight and Lagavulin 16 year Scotch. Seemed like a nice mix of locals and visitors on opening weekend, had a really welcoming, casual vibe, and the owner knew a ton about everything whiskey. So glad our visit happened to be the day this place opened and I'm sure they'll become a local favorite spot in Manzanita. read more

Pretty small but drink are amazing. Staff is so friendly and really take care of you. Staff told us hey are opening up a back area which will give everyone plenty of room! Definitely coming back when we are in manzanita. read more

We lucked into this place opening just in time for our first visit to the area. The place is small and was busy (close quarters). But the staff handled it very well and were so attentive and polite to everyone. They made sure you felt comfortable. They were knowledgeable on the menu offerings and make many of their own infused liquors and mixes in house. read more

My boyfriend and I were vacationing in Manzanita and popped into MacGregor's Whiskey Bar on a Tuesday afternoon. The two women that ran the place were VERY friendly and kind. They were both extremely knowledgeable about the Whiskeys and Bourbons as well as the food they served. We tried an Original Manhattan and a glass of Jameson's Cooper's Croze, which were both delicious. We also had a cheese platter, which one of the women painted a lovely picture of the origin of each type of cheese offered. Their MacGregor and Cheese (Mac N Cheese) and Lobster Bisque were delicious. We sat out on the back porch, which was very nice in the sunshine. We would definitely recommend MacGregor's to a friend! read more

Had a great experience here with Chip the owner. Wide selection and friendly environment!

This is a must go to for Manzanita! Extremely knowledgeable staff, amazing tastings and flights, as well as great atmosphere. This is my husband's and I's favorite new place and we recommend it to everyone we know! read more

A small space with outdoor seating that serves excellent though limited food with excellent choices of whiskey and specialty cocktails! Excellent service from the bartender and the floor staff! Enjoyed several whiskey flights (one Irish and one Japanese) as well as a delightful cheese board and charcuterie board! A must visit spot when in Manzanita! read more

Definitely our favorite place to drink on the coast. The variety of whiskeys plus the knowledge and friendly staff make for a wonderful experience every time. read more

Went there with 2 other couples. It was a wine bar a year ago, had a great time then, so we thought we'd try it. Did not disappoint. Had a mix of drinks - one guy was trying different rums, one had a manhattan, one had a nice Japanese whiskey, someone had a coffee at the end of the meal. Sat outside, ordered a bunch of boards and lobster bisque. And had to order more pate and charcuterie. Had the chocolate plate and shortbread for dessert. It was delicious, truly a great meal. Looking forward to going back again. read more

Amazing hole on the wall whiskey bar in Manzanita. Be careful you might miss it walking down Laneda ave. Absolute master class! Chip the owner is knowledgeable and warm. If I could give 10 stars i would! read more

Great place! Cozy, intimate spot with a great selection of drinks. Really nice staff. You must stop by.

Have been here several times and every time has been fantastic! Great selection and super service. You can learn a tremendous amount about different whiskeys. You won't be disappointed in this place!! read more

Had a fantastic evening here with some girl fiends!! Wonderful experience all around especially with owner Chip. So warm and SO knowledgeable. Sat outside around the fire pit and had such a nice time. Could not recommend this place enough. read more

RustyMoose - Fire pit and AMAZING whisky. - Lounges Near Me - Manzanita, Oregon

An Intimate spot with excellent hospitable service, great food and the drinks are exquisite.

10/10 service, drinks and food. Very rarely does a place knock all 3 out of the park. John was very personable and just the right amount of attentive without being overbearing. Drinks were incredible. Food was great. We knew not to expect entrees on the menu, so we ordered a few appetizers and boards to share. So damn good. Can't wait to come back! read more

Loved the vibe of this bar, the outdoor fire pit, and even though it is small in size, it's large in friendliness of the owner and staff and excellence of the whiskey selections. We enjoyed it so much, we will return frequently! read more

Great little spot for drinks and appetizers. Sat in the courtyard on a beautiful day and ordered their specialty black cherry whiskey sours. Loved these so much that we ended up having a couple each. The drinks also had special black cherries garnishing the drinks that were no every day tasteless marischino cherry. A very bright and quenching drink for certain. Wish that they had more on their menu for a more filling meal, but no complaints about the selections for light fare. We had the pate platter with three different pates, all of them delicious, served with thinly sliced bread and tasty crackers. The table next to us ordered the cheese platter and it also looked amazing. Also had a bowl of soup of the day that came with bread and fennel butter; the soup was average, nothing to write home about. But overall MacGregor's was a relaxing, easy going little spot to spend time chatting with friends while enjoying good drinks and food. read more

Stopped by the Whiskey Bar tonight in a group of 9. The host and owner Chip, quickly made room and made us feel comfortable. He spent time educating us on different whiskey's and made it a true experience. Will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

Chip was such a great host. He patiently and passionately explained all the different whiskeys and their origins to us and answered all of our questions. Will definitely be back next time I visit Manzanita. read more

Went here with my Aunt and boyfriend while visiting her beach house. It was fantastic- great ambiance, fabulous service, impressive selection (not just of whiskey and scotch- but a variety of spirits) and the absolute most delicious lobster bisque I have ever had! My boyfriend ordered the soup of the day (a vegan chickpea lentil soup) and we had the olives as an appetizer. The olives were extremely salty, but I am a bit of a salt fanatic so this didn't bother me. The tequila old fashioned's we ordered were wonderful, and my boyfriend's soup was incredibly flavorful and savory- some of the best bean soup I've had. The bread it came with was moist and fresh and I loved the salted Irish butter. Our waitress was lovely- super helpful with suggestions and warm. We finished with the Flourless Chocolate Cake, which was the perfect balance of richness and sweet. We loved this spot and will definitely return next time we're in town. read more

Loved this place, and will definitely be back next time I'm in town. We were served by the owner (Chip) who was very kind. The food is presented in such a sophisticated manner, and it tastes phenomenal too! They have a huge liquor menu, not just limited to whiskey. Highly recommended. read more

Fabulous flights and boards to choose from. The staff is well trained. The owner shares so much info on whiskey. Fascinating to listen to.

Great cocktails and tasty snacks. Not just for whiskey lovers. I went for Mac's Ol Fashioned.

MacGregor despite them, indeed! This gem of a whiskey bar is a fabulous find in the quaint hamlet of Manzanita, Oregon. The meat and cheese boards this establishment offers are exquisite in presentation and the perfect pairing for the library of fine spirits available for your pleasurable evening with friends! Served by the knowledgeable proprietor, Mr. MacGregor himself, you are in for a treat of friendly conversation and soul-warming libations that provide the perfect ingredients for a great memory of your visit to the coast. The atmosphere is cozy and the aesthetics are modern with a good blend of heavily lacquered wood and acid-stained copper. The food portions are excellent for being a compliment to the true centerpiece of your visit--the whiskey! Without the square footage to house an exhaustive library of spirits, MacGregor's boasts a fabulous battery of the broad spectrum of whiskeys to be enjoyed that is sure to provide a visitor with a known favorite as well as the opportunity to adventure into something splendidly new! read more

This tiny whiskey bar is a welcome change of pace from the many wine bars and dive bars that populate the Oregon cost. MacGregor's has a classy and intimate atmosphere decorated with with Scottish portraits and local art. There's an outstanding breadth of whiskey choices, and substantial variety of other liquors. They also have wine and beer options, so there's something for just about anyone. If you're hungry there are options including charcuterie and desserts. Service is good, and the owner Chip is friendly, always ready with a recommendation or story about the drink you're enjoying. I'll be back! read more

Great place! Large selection of spirits. The proprietor spent time explaining our choices. A wonderful spot. It is worth your time!

We'd been looking forward to trying out MacGregors for a while and finally made it there last night - the owner, Chip was awesome - super welcoming and we had some great conversation. Had an excellent cocktail (or more...) and fantastic mocktail - the pate board was perfect and the dessert we tried was also delicious. Looking forward to returning! read more

Great selection of whiskeys. The beef stew was excellent. If I'm ever in Manzanita again I'll certainly go back.

This place delivers over the top whiskey and has beer, wine and a simple selection of food. Their lobster bisque and other soups are great, as is their appetizers, cheese/smoked salmon/ham boards. Desserts are very good. Service is very personal and Chip, the owner, offers suggestions from his abundant whisky menu. We will keep going here. read more

We just had a wonderful evening talking with the owner, learning about Irish whiskey, and celebrating our anniversary. Will be back next time we have a babysitter read more

I was so excited to go to MacGregor's on my beach vacation. I am a scotch enthusiast, and was excited to see unfamiliar items on the menu that I was looking forward to trying. In general, the atmosphere is great, and the scotch selection really did knock it out of the park. It's small and it has the traditional beach town wait time, but that never bothers me as someone who worked in food service for a decade. What did bother me was how I was treated. When we were served, my date ordered a cocktail. I ordered a beer and he immediately started to walk away. I politely stopped him and said "I'd also like to order a flight and some food". He did not hide his rolling his eyes very well. He took my flight order and said he would be back for the food order. As we waited, I watched him diligently and patiently serve his 60+ patrons - bringing physical bottles to their table, taking serious care in explaining the selections. The rest of the visit was fine - the servers were pleasant and the food was delicious. As a twenty something woman who is interested and delighted in scotch, I suppose I don't fit the mark as a "big ticket" customer. But actually, I have a well paying job, never tip less than 20%, and happily would have spent much more at MacGregor's had my service been better. I really think this bar is a great addition to Manzanita's scene. However, I am hopeful they are able to adjust their customer service to serve everyone with the same courtesy, especially since they are likely to see more millennial Portland tourists like myself. read more
